Significant Decline in Fuel Efficiency of BMW F10 520D
HOV replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
The steel pipe originates from the banjo bolt on the manifold, with the sensor inserted into a little rubber part at the end. -
Significant Decline in Fuel Efficiency of BMW F10 520D

Verify if the pre-turbine pressure sensor pipe is unobstructed; if it is clear, replace the sensor and reset the settings. It is also advisable to inspect the brakes to ensure none are binding, as this significantly impacts fuel economy. -
I greatly appreciate your thorough response. I was certain that I had encountered an advertisement for a 19β spacesaver, but I could not locate it. I will now proceed to purchase a 19β RH, thank you.

I am uncertain about your statement regarding βthey're all 18.β If you are alluding to the Spacesaver wheel, your assertion is incorrect, as I have encountered 19β Spacesavers during my search, albeit infrequently. I opted for an 18β due to an immediate necessity. Thank you for your comment.

Can I utilise an 18-inch spacesaver on my vehicle equipped with 19-inch rims?

I purchased the automobile only a few weeks ago. The Kia dealer installed them.

I am seeing significant juddering from the wiper blades, the worst I have had in any vehicle. However, it only operates at speeds of around 65 to 70 mph or more. Tested several times in various weather conditions; below that speed, it operates quite well. Excessively vibrates. Do you have any suggestions for a solution? They are fresh blades. It is peculiar and bothersome that this issue occurs just at high speeds. Render driving on the freeway in inclement weather intolerable.

Thank you for your response.

I am in Hawaii. I have had abysmal responses from Mazda and the store. I have own two Mazda CX-90 vehicles in under 12 months, both of which have suffered total failure attributed to the hybrid system, i-stop, and engine malfunction. My first car malfunctioned at 19,200 miles, whereas my second vehicle failed at 18,620 miles. This is intolerable! I have not received a loaner or been informed of the repair duration. I am still awaiting contact from Mazda USA. I was informed that I am on a list for expedited treatment, although I have not received any updates so far. I like the vehicle for its superior interior quality, exceptional fuel economy, and aesthetically pleasing design. I really miss my Mazda; nonetheless, this track record for build quality and dependability is unacceptable. Mazda must own responsibility for its deficiencies. As a very dissatisfied customer, I regret not purchasing a Hyundai or Kia at this juncture. I never anticipated expressing that! However, this is my current situation... I was the foremost advocate for Mazda. Not to the same extent any more!

If your vehicle has less than 15,000 miles and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires have less than 50% tread remaining, the dealer will replace them at no cost owing to a recognized wear problem with the Falkens. If your amount exceeds 15,000, a sliding scale is available that allows for a substantial reduction on the new set. You must inform the dealer of your awareness of the early wear problem, and they will assist you accordingly.

Certain locations will amalgamate batches according to manufacturers' documentation. Provide them with your VIN, and they will return a dozen cans formulated to the same specifications as the original; but, as previously said, they cannot account for ageing. Typically approaches rather closely.
-
It is encouraging to see that you resolved your issue; nonetheless, I would like to point out that a resting voltage of 12.2V indicates just around 60% charge.

Avoid purchasing a 2024 Mazda CX-90; go for the 2025 model instead.

I find your article somewhat perplexing. I believe you referred to the CX-90 many times when you intended to mention the CX-70. -
Catless IPE headers will become excessively loud to the point of discomfort over time. An IPE would not be my preference. I would commence by detaching the resonator to enhance volume. A mere exhaust modification will not yield 550bhp. It will require an effective remap from a provider such as MSL Performance or GAD.

Concurred. According to my second post, maintaining pressure on the brake pedal resolves this issue.
-
This is logical. Nonetheless, the procedure of engaging the brake pedal, shifting to Park, turning off the engine, and only releasing the brake pedal when exiting the vehicle is firmly entrenched in my routine, likely advantageous as it applies to all automatic vehicles. I did not include the brake pedal in my post, since it is second nature to me; I maintain pressure on it when starting the car until I am prepared to drive, and I keep it depressed while stopping until I am ready to exit the vehicle. Traditional approach?
-
I have consistently performed the following: shift to Park, deactivate the engine, and let the electric parking brake to operate automatically. Similar to you, I am want to understand why this may be seen inappropriate. Delighted to be informed.

No other information! The images depict the side body moulding (garnish) and minor damage to the undercarriage, which is twisted and impeding the rear passenger door. I reside in Salt Lake City, where extensive development activities are underway. Regrettably, it was a substantial boulder!
-
Not at this time! It was necessary to engage the insurance. The undercarriage sustained little damage, and the estimate was elevated. Currently engaged in discussions with the insurance agent and the auto body shop.

Thank you for providing this information!

Hello! I own a 2024 CX-90 TS in metallic grey and am really fond of my vehicle! Regrettably, I struck a rock, resulting in the detachment of the lower railing, guard, or garnishing on the passenger side; I apologise for my uncertainty about the terminology. Does anybody has expertise with this material? Is this repairable by us? I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on the procurement of OEM parts, including relevant part numbers. Thank you in advance!

Enjoy your vehicle. Maintain regular service along with additional oil changes, and it will last for years. The automatic gearbox requires servicing at around 60,000 miles; disregard BMW's "sealed for life" claim, since they do not manufacture the gearbox.

Vito W638: what is the designation of the directional component?
HOV replied to HOV's topic in General Car Chat
I much appreciate your assistance! It seems evident to me that it pertains to portion 143. I apologise for not giving more detailed information regarding my model, but I am unsure how to do so. I believed it was only a single variant of the Vito W638 CDI112. Perhaps what you needed to ascertain is that it is a W638.9? I apologise; if you could direct me on how to proceed or specify the specific information you want and its location, I would provide it. If this fails, I can likely locate that component at a scrapyard, which, while not new, would certainly be in superior shape compared to mine. -

HOV replied to HOV's topic in General Car Chat
I looked on eBay, but just the automated gear selector is shown for some reason. I am considering a scrapyard where I may locate cheaper alternatives for this. I am uncertain if I need to purchase the whole bundle or only the white component. We will observe. Thank you.
