I appreciate your prompt reply. There is a conventional 240-volt electrical outlet mounted on the wall in the shared garage. The issue at hand is not related to that. I just acquired a brand new automobile, which was previously used as a demonstration model. I took possession of it three weeks ago. I would want to ensure that if I were to drive directly into my designated parking area, I would be able to effortlessly connect the charger to the main power supply and extend the charging line to the engine compartment. Due to limited room for manoeuvring, I often reverse my automobile into the parking place. Next, in order to route the charging wires into the engine area, they would extend the whole length of the vehicle down the floor, perhaps causing issues for cars parked next to mine. To prevent my neighbour from accidentally stumbling over my charging line when entering his vehicle, I am endeavouring to establish a battery connection in the trunk that will be in close proximity to both the power socket and the charger. Apologies if that seems intricate.

Greetings, everyone. I need the capability to link my C-Tec charger to the battery of the new C-43 AMG coupe since I have a tendency to sometimes leave the vehicle inactive for a duration of 4 to 5 weeks. I am aware that the battery is located in the engine compartment, and while I have the option to connect directly there, I am unable to do so since my vehicle is parked in a private community car park with other inhabitants, and it is not permissible for me to have a cable running across the shared areas. Due to limited space, I am required to reverse into my designated parking area. Therefore, driving headfirst into the slot for easy access to the front of the car is not feasible. I have just sold my previous vehicle, the XKR Dynamic R, which had a battery located behind a panel at the back of the trunk area. To prevent the presence of cables that extend behind, I connected a cigar lighter socket (equipped with a fuse) in the trunk directly to the battery terminals. This allows me to connect a charger without the need for cables running across the floor. I want to replicate this process on the C-43, however it will be necessary for me to thread the compact charging wires through the engine bulkhead, starting at the battery terminals and then routing them under the carpets, ultimately leading to the trunk area. I really dislike visible cables, which is why I want to hide them behind rugs or trim. I have been informed that the current cigar lighter will deactivate when the ignition is turned off, but I would rather have a direct connection to the battery. Has anybody encountered the process of routing a cable through the engine bulkhead? I am certain that there are existing grommets that facilitate the passage of cables from the engine compartment to the car's interior, but I have not personally seen them yet. I have seen the presence of a fuse box located under the floor of the vehicle's trunk. Is this the optimal course of action? I have had this new automobile for a little over two weeks now and have travelled around 450 miles. I have a strong affinity for it, nevertheless, I am still perplexed by the means by which the majority of the menus and settings may be accessible. Perusing the comprehensive manual reveals other features that I assume my vehicle lacks, thus adding to the confusion. Any advice or ideas would be much beneficial.

I considered the possibility that the issue may be attributed to insufficient or improper lapping of the intake valves, resulting in a combustion failure of the fuel-air combination.

I am considering abandoning the project since I have never seen a situation like this before. Initially, I suspected that the exhaust may be obstructed by the cat, causing the issue. To test this hypothesis, we replaced the exhaust pipe with a decatted one, but the problem persisted. Perhaps the issue might be attributed to the valve timing.

The vehicle has travelled a distance of 300,000 km. However, when I detach the hose from the PCV valve, the engine's idle performance deteriorates. I have already cleaned the valve, and there are indications that it is functioning properly.

The air conditioning system is operating without any restrictions. However, the previous technician who serviced the vehicle applied excessive torque to the head bolts, resulting in a broken head. Consequently, I replaced the head. Prior to this issue, the car was functioning well, with the exception of piston 3, which had oil leakage onto the spark plug due to the damaged head. Regrettably, I do not believe that any of the current tasks being performed would have an impact on the computer. Moreover, I do not have any acquaintances who own a computer that I might borrow for the purpose of conducting a test to confirm my hypothesis.

I have performed the task and it seems to be in good condition.

I will attempt it, really hoping it resolves the issue. I have been experiencing sleep deprivation for a week due to this automobile trouble.

Do you believe that even a little leak may be the source of that? There are no signs of any plugs being scorched white.

I own a Kia Picanto 1.1 G4HG with a damaged cylinder head. I purchased a new bare cylinder head and installed it. Additionally, I replaced the valves, crank sensor, cam sensor, coil pack, spark plugs, and spark plug leads. The vehicle is now experiencing a decrease in power and the exhaust manifold sometimes becomes red-hot after idling for a period of time. Additionally, it is encountering difficulties in increasing its revolutions per minute (RPM) and is exhibiting backfiring and vibrations via the exhaust system. There seems to be an excessive amount of fuel flowing through the intake, causing the engine to initially operate smoothly for a brief period before encountering difficulties maintaining a stable idle. Does anybody have a notion as to what it may be? I am now experiencing confusion and uncertainty.

It has come to light that the compact electric battery need replacement. Mazda Canada will incur a delay of 2-6 months in obtaining the component. I believe my formerly optimistic opinions about this car are changing. -

Indeed! Here is a regrettable coincidence. Following a positive report on my absence of problems, I have recently become aware of faults pertaining to the hybrid system, istop, and engine. I am hopeful that I am not overdue for a check-in. -

I have been actively engaged with this community since prior to the acquisition of our i6 cx90 GT. Last spring, there was much excitement about this machine. Although we acknowledge that some automobiles have encountered certain difficulties and challenges, we have mostly been spared the inconveniences. I have completed the steering recall and made the necessary adjustment for the slight door creak. This concludes the matter. Otherwise, it has been robust and dependable, offering all the necessary features and more. The vehicle consistently improved its mileage rating both in urban areas and on the highway. Notably, even with a full family load, we were able to go over 800 km on a single tank last year, which is really astonishing. The performance of the AWD in the Canadian winter is remarkable, particularly considering its 21-inch rims and large tyres. Indeed, we want the version that included the plug. However, we were unable to solve the mathematical problem since our driving habits are insufficient to compensate for the almost 9k disparity in sticker price. Considering the impressive performance of the inline 6 and the mileage we achieve, we are certain that our selection was the correct one for us. The cx90 provides the necessary features for a family hauler, with the exception of its limited cabin storage capacity. It offers a comfortable and fashionable ride for my wife and myself. When we activate sport mode, it is effortless to overlook the fact that we are operating a substantial SUV. Although not flawless, it is and was a superior choice for us compared to the similar palissade or telluride. Furthermore, this is our inaugural Mazda. Presumably, it will be a part of our lives for an extended duration (my spouse really like it...). No remorse. I acknowledge that individuals may not be in the same position, and I anticipate that circumstances will gradually equalise for those individuals. -

A variety of other events, such as the caravan show and music concerts, are available at no cost.

I saw many more constructions in which each turbo had a separate blanket wrapped over it. However, using PTP, I can demonstrate that the 2010-2012 e7x model includes a single, bigger throw blanket. Does anybody know the specific listing or component number for the individual turbo that is form fitted rather than rolled around? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZBlQt0YBDBg

Is this referring to the elongated silver heat shield coverings that are placed over the downpipes and used to protect the turbos? What is your opinion on turbo blankets? I have acquired turbo blankets, heat shield wrap measuring 1 inch and 2 inches, and want to envelop my exhaust headers, downpipes, and any other components that can be wrapped. Is it advisable to fully eliminate the heat shields? What are your candid opinions? Do you believe that the head wrap and turbo blankets will provide enough or superior protection compared to the original head shields? I have come across information suggesting that the removal of the standard catalytic converters may effectively reduce heat levels.
