  1. Could you please provide the model year of your C300d?
  2. In Germany, the present situation indicates a minimum period of six years. Therefore, it is essential to prioritise making the appropriate strategic choice for the collective.
  3. Indeed, your observation is accurate. However, considering the perceived superfluous intricacy and the evident challenges encountered with Mazda's existing SUV models, the matter at hand is not a matter of if this will occur, but rather a matter of when it will transpire and, in this particular instance, the extent of the financial implications. However, due to Mazda's provision of a six-year guarantee to all customers, the level of concern over this matter is expected to be minimal. The service provider will do the repair without any charge. However, under the present conditions, the depreciation of this vehicle will be very pronounced. There is a general lack of desire for the product beyond the period covered by the warranty. This phenomenon is once again resulting in a direct financial detriment to individuals.
  4. There are no significant issues present in this context. Thus yet, there have been just a limited number of minor concerns. The construction of a project in Japan is scheduled to commence in June 2023. At a certain juncture, the suspension system had contact with a pothole, resulting in a clanking sound or reaching its lowest point. The situation was very awkward, given that we had an acquaintance present in the vehicle. The presence of a newly manufactured vehicle emitting a pronounced metallic noise inside the interior compartment is deemed unfavourable. It is unclear how they were able to mishandle the situation. Mazda asserts that there is no issue present in this situation. Another minor concern is to the improvement, but not complete resolution, of the driveshaft vibration issue. During instances of intense acceleration, the vehicle experiences a noticeable shudder or tremor within the mid to high range of revolutions per minute (RPM). Although not a significant obstacle, it is nevertheless disconcerting for a just purchased vehicle.
  5. It is worth noting that battery capacity is often evaluated using the 20-hour rate. Therefore, a 75Ah battery that is completely charged and in optimal condition will be able to provide a continuous current of 3.75 amps for a duration of 20 hours. The indicated capacity will be significantly reduced with an increase in the load. However, it seems that the capacity is still relatively insufficient.
  6. The product of 11 amperes and 12 volts yields a power output of 132 watts, if the calculations are accurate. Consequently, it may be inferred that a component or system is generating a significant amount of heat. (Warmer than two headlamp bulbs on main beam) So finding it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Is there a block heater installed in your vehicle? It is advisable to inspect the control relay for the block heater in order to ensure its proper functioning. An other, if less probable, factor that might contribute to the issue is a malfunctioning seat controller or motor. However, it is unlikely that this component would draw a current of 11 amps, and any potential odour associated with such a high current would surely be detectable.
  7. According to legal regulations, it is required for the display to indicate both miles per hour (MPH) and kilometres per hour (KMH).
  8. The comparison between amber turn indicators and red turn indicators is a topic of interest.Is the fluctuating US market responsible for the performance of BMW? I recall a time when BMW employed amber turn indicators in their rear lights. However, numerous BMW owners were eager to replace them with either entirely red tail lights or tail lights featuring a transparent turn indicator lens housing an amber bulb coated with silver, thereby eliminating the amber appearance when the bulb was not illuminated. In light of BMW's recent introduction of a monochromatic rear tail light for the US market, it is evident that the company is seeking to acquire what it now lacks.The European version of the product has an amber lens specifically designed for the turn indication. The current circumstance presents a scenario in which there are no favourable outcomes.We want what we lack, regardless of what is provided to us. The rear tail lights on the e38 7 series throughout the 1990s and 2000s were characterised by the following design features. The prevailing trend was replacing the amber lens with the Euro version, which only used an amber bulb.
  9. In the United Kingdom, there exists an alternative metric for assessing fuel efficiency, namely in terms of miles per gallon (mpg). According to our computational analysis, the average energy efficiency of our computer is 4.4 miles per kilowatt-hour (kWh) when considering a combination of urban and rural driving conditions. The electric vehicle achieves an energy efficiency of 3.5 to 4 miles per kilowatt-hour (kWh) while traveling on the freeway at a speed of 70 miles per hour. The conversion of these units to kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers may be performed using Google.
  10. At a 90% charge, I am able to achieve a distance of 170 kilometers. The anticipated range will vary based on one's driving style. 2) This value seems to be somewhat elevated, in my view. I have not seen the battery temperature above 50% of its maximum capacity. 3) The device emits certain auditory signals during its initialization process, however, it afterwards operates silently. 4) This matter is subjective, in my opinion.
  11. Request a quotation from the authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers on the eBay platform.
  12. The aesthetic appeal of the subject matter is undeniably captivating. However, it is regrettable that there is a lack of visual representation of the internal components and the nappa interior. This vehicle does not fully resemble an adapted milk float.
  13. The prevailing attitude in contemporary times seems to be characterized by a simplistic approach to problem-solving, not limited to car technicians alone.
  14. Indeed?! Did they fail to thoroughly examine and rectify any potential oversights in order to verify that all necessary steps were taken to properly secure and fasten the button?
  15. It is advisable to install the material on days with warmer to hot temperatures. The material exhibits enhanced ease of manipulation and adaptability to conform to irregular shapes. The front fender wells provide a significant issue. It is important to acknowledge that the panels of sedans are composed of plastic material, necessitating the use of additional fasteners to enhance their structural strength. If the CS Catch Can had been fitted, it would have provided the opportunity to see the appearance under the wheel liner. Apologies for the obstruction caused by the flash, which obscured the measurement of square footage (SF). The mentioned SF pertains to the additional FAT MAT being used for my independent hood project.
  16. I am disinclined to engage in a debate based on second-hand information obtained from a member's report of the payment made to a store for the completion of a task, as discussed on another online forum. The user's text "LOL" can be rewritten as "The user expressed amusement through I completed the aforementioned task during the previous calendar year, and afterwards conducted a Certified weighing procedure on my Mazda vehicle. The user's text "LOL" can be rewritten as "The user expressed amusement or The use of basic mathematical principles is evident when using minimal coverage, utilizing the thinnest material available, and refraining from overlapping or duplicating areas that generate excessive noise. I am certain that allocating sufficient time, effort, and financial resources will provide favorable outcomes in terms of mitigating road and ambient noise levels. The user expresses amusement through the acronym "LOL." The weight of the product and fundamental coverage information may be seen on reputable providers of sound deadening material, such as Fat Mat. Remove the door panels and proceed to visually inspect the inside components. Alternatively, one may do a physical examination of their MAZDA vehicle by walking around it and gently tapping on the panels with their knuckle, while attentively listening for any audible indications. Mazda is often regarded as one of the least proficient automobile manufacturers when it comes to using noise-reducing materials in the majority of their vehicle models. It seems that you possess a strong desire to enhance your MAZDA vehicle and possess a certain level of do-it-yourself abilities. However, I find it perplexing that you seek assistance and guidance, only to engage in arguments and debates with a few individuals who possess knowledge in this domain, and who are attempting to provide you with advice to facilitate better decision-making on modifications, parts, and processes. The user expressed amusement through the acronym "LOL." I acknowledge your inclination to see your GT as distinct; yet, it is essential to note that there exists enough potential for enhancements.
  17. The recommended sequence for inspection and assessment of various vehicle components is as follows: doors, trunk (or hatch), full floor pan, roof below the headliner, under the hood, and finally the wheel wells (with priority given to the front wheel wells). The last step involves wrapping the exhaust system and thoroughly addressing the undercarriage. The additional weight would range from around 75 to 150 pounds. This would only have a marginal impact on 1/4 mile timings, resulting in a decrease of around 1-2/10. The lateral acceleration experienced by your vehicle may be around 0.7 Gs. Regarding the advice of which material to use... I have extensively used and examined a wide range of soundproofing materials, and I have found that FAT MAT has superior adhesive properties compared to other options, including Dyno mat. It is well acknowledged that individuals own unique particular preferences. After thoroughly examining a multitude of tests and top 10 evaluations, I consistently find that my preferred pick consistently yields the most favorable outcomes for my specific needs.
  18. The BOSE system exhibits exceptional design qualities for MAZDA vehicles in the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Unfortunately, the MAZDA vehicle in question lacks substantial soundproofing materials. One might perhaps enhance the BOSE sound experience significantly by implementing a weekend dedicated to the use of do-it-yourself sound deadening materials. Furthermore, it is important to note that the aforementioned action will not result in the nullification of any existing guarantee provided by MAZDA. I am sorry, but your text is incomplete. Could you please provide more information or context
  19. The 1998 Mazda LX Protege had a sudden occurrence when the engine light and brake light illuminated simultaneously, accompanied by the presence of grinding noises from the braking system. I turned off my vehicle and attempted to initiate its ignition, but encountered a failure in starting the engine. Upon investigation, it was discovered that a 15 amp engine control fuse had been blown. Subsequently, an examination was conducted on several components including the fuel pump, timing belt, mass air sensor, and distributor. Despite these efforts, the 15 amp fuse continued to malfunction repeatedly. I am experiencing a state of confusion since I am unable to identify the underlying issue. Are there any responses available?
  20. Is the light bulb at fault for the lamp's malfunction? If not, I may simply leave it till the next time I take the vehicle in for maintenance.
  21. How old is the vehicle, please?
  22. Includes free access to detailed information on engine, ABS, automatic transmission, and airbag codes for vehicles manufactured in the United States, Europe, and Australia. 9Apps TutuApp ShowBox
  23. Given the presence of noise and metal fragments, it seems likely that the large end is no longer functioning.
  24. This noise reminds me a lot of diesel knock, however a few years ago on my N47 I discovered it was the fourth large end. It sputtered because the large end had so much play, throwing off the timing on that cylinder. I would try removing the injector from cylinder 2 and plugging it into cylinder 1, starting the engine again, and reading the injector readings to see if they change.
