  1. A little pin is required to be inserted between the piston and the holes in the lid.
  2. The use of a plastic piston/dampener facilitates the gradual and controlled opening of the lid. The object is secured in position with a little plastic pin. It seems that your situation has ceased to exist.
  3. Is the catch being adjusted or tightened, a task that can only be performed while the CD player is removed? Has the catch sustained any damage? I am uncertain about the nature of the object referred to as a "thingy." Is it designed to retain cables? Are there any visual representations available?
  4. Thank you for providing your suggestions, which I have duly acknowledged. Opting for the Michelin 4s tires with a standard width of 275 may be considered a more prudent choice in terms of safety.
  5. I acknowledge that the topic I am about to ask may be considered elementary and may have been addressed before. Therefore, I am open to receiving any guidance or suggestions on the matter. Would my insurance policy become void if I were to install wider tires on the current 19-inch rims? I am contemplating replacing the Continental tires that were installed last year with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in the size of 295/30. This decision is prompted by the fact that the previously fitted Continental tires have shown inner tread wear after a mileage of 13,000. The vehicle had an inspection of its rear tracking and was found to be in satisfactory condition. However, it is necessary to replace both of the rear tires. Please refer to the accompanying image depicting a single tire that has begun to deteriorate. Based on the information gathered from the forum and many YouTube comparisons, it has been seen that a significant number of respondents favor Michelin tires. One notable difference highlighted in these comparisons is the broader burdened track width of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires compared to the Continental Sport Contact 2 tires. Consequently, this has influenced my inclination towards opting for the 295 width over the 275 width in the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. I am eager to hear about your collective experiences, ideas, or advise. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  6. However, the displayed value will be limited to about 90 amps due to the fact that alternators typically operate at 80% of their maximum capacity. In the event of insufficient amperage or voltage, the problem may be attributed to the alternator. Examine the condition of the harness connected to the alternator to determine its state. If the harness is found to be damaged or faulty, it is likely the source of the problem. However, if the harness is in proper working order, the issue is likely attributed to the alternator itself.
  7. Over the course of the weekend, I participated in a Bosch training program focused on sensors. During the training, I had the opportunity to see and document the effects of using oiled filters or aftermarket "high performance" filters on the Mass Airflow Sensors (MAF). This was accomplished by capturing images of the MAFs under a microscope, which clearly revealed the detrimental impact of such filters on the MAF functionality. The absence of issues experienced by an individual does not always imply the absence of damage or the erroneous functioning of the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor. Each instance in which I acquire an automobile equipped with an oil filter, I promptly dispose of such filter in a waste receptacle. As previously mentioned by others, there are web films that provide evidence to support the claim that they do not enhance power.
  8. Any recommendations for effective cleaning solutions?
  9. The previous owner of my Avant apparently dumped handfuls of dog hair beneath the dashboard without my knowledge. I took off the headliner and all the panels and cleaned them, but when it's hot and humid, I still smell like a dog. Do you have any clue what might be trapping this odor and how to eliminate it?
  10. Simply request a new battery replacement and be certain that they will have enough on hand as this component is not unique.
  11. You bought the car from a dealer, correct? If so, then, unless they disclosed the prior history and informed you that it would void the warranty, they will likely be responsible for repairing, replacing, or refunding the item. If you purchased it from a dealer, you should consult Citizens Advice or Trading Standards regarding your rights under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015.
  12. You may wish to inquire if anyone has a Haynes manual for your Kuga's model year. I presume the breakdown covers the powertrain.
  13. You may want to try asking if anyone has a Haynes manual for your Model year Kuga? I assume the engine is covered in the breakdown.

  15. Hello, I got the update mail and proceeded with noting my MPG over the last 200 miles as well as the previous trip displaying 3000+ miles, and now with the upgrade I am getting better MPG over around town driving since I have not carried out any lengthy excursions after the update:)
  16. How far did you get with that? After having the dealer clean the sumo pickup and replace the oil pressure sensor twice in the previous six months because of increased oil levels and pressure difficulties, I discovered that the cause was the £10 injector seals.
  17. I'd like one with a Skyactiv X engine, but money won't let me get one for a few years. I tried out the Gen 4 in GT Sport style and thought it was beautiful. I hope you have fun in your new car.
  18. The gunmetal grey exterior and burgundy interior of the saloon I saw at Oldham Mazda on Sunday looked great together. The May test vehicle I rode featured a black leather upholstery, but the cabin seemed dim. This, I believe, was due to the dark grey hue of the headliner; why Mazda chose this shade is beyond me.
