  1. I had a wish list and a list of items I didn't want when I bought my 2024 CX-30. A sunroof was absolutely not something I wanted. I never would have thought to use one, and living in the hot summers of southern Arizona, I assumed the sunroof seals would dry up, crack, and shrink with time, adding to the burden of having to replace them. That, I believe, reduced it to the 2.5S basic model and the Sport trim. The choice was further reduced to a 2.5S when I chose the 16" wheels/tires with somewhat higher sidewalls to mitigate some road bumps.
  2. Good day, U.K. is where I call home. Just two days ago, I purchased a Mazda CX-30 with the 2023 2.0 SkyActiv G Takumi package. I just realised that there is no jack in the trunk of the automobile. In the UK, did this vehicle come with one? Does it usually go missing like this? In the online handbook, it is referenced at position 1, among others.
  3. On Autotrader, there's a Japanese import 335i that looks really good. I'm assuming it won't have the diesel's low-down torque and, based on what I've read, will be far thirstier. I see now that you've confirmed my suspicions; a single turbo seems like the best option. The m-performance package is my top choice, but I'll settle for one with harmon kardon, a pan roof, a good or full history, and reasonable mileage. Those third-row seats aren't for me, but they're removable and most people have them. There is a beautiful one that meets all my requirements; however, it is a 40d with 90k. I believe the harmon kardon is an absolute must-have, but I'm sure we'll have to make some sacrifices somewhere. After all, installing the kit looks like a lot less of a chore than replacing the sound system!
  4. Greetings, all! If it made sense, I'd stretch to a 50d, but I'm also considering the 30d (which I could remap for additional power), the 40d, and the F15 X5. Focusing on used cars with acceptable mileage and history are within my budget of £15,000 to £26,000. A couple of particular enquiries: How are the handling and performance in actual driving situations different? Is the 40d/50d's twin-turbo system significantly faster at low RPMs than a remapped 30d, for instance, in terms of throttle response and torque? Is the more complicated 40d/50d configurations less reliable than a chipped/remapped 30d in the long run, or is it the other way around? Have you noticed any typical problems? I've heard that the 40d is more refined than a tuned 30d, but I'm looking for real-world owner insights if anyone has any... In ahead, I'm really grateful.
  5. The automatic system may have been temporarily disabled, which occasionally occurs in my vehicle as well. This can be due to debris, adverse weather conditions, etc., causing the system to be uncertain about the operation of the lights (I possess adaptive headlights). I consulted my mechanic, and this phenomenon is considered normal; I have only observed it during rain and fog.
  6. There is no menu option to recalibrate the tyre pressures. Does this imply that it use an other system?
  7. It is a 2016 Peugeot 508SW Diesel 2.0L turbocharged vehicle. The system did not indicate any sensor activity; the error message states "Under Inflation Monitoring Fault." I am contemplating whether the monitoring unit might be defective, as I did not receive an error for any wheel. What is the probability of all four occurring simultaneously? Instead of speculating about their absence, given that the error indicates a potential issue with the module, I contemplated whether it would be more effective to simply replace one of them, assuming that would resolve the problem. I apologise for reiterating all the enquiries.
  8. Hello, I receive an Under Inflation Monitoring Fault while starting the vehicle. No errors are generated for any specific wheel. I took it to a nearby mechanic today, and he stated that he could not receive a signal from any of the wheels. He proposed replacing all four wheel sensors. What is the probability of all four sensors failing simultaneously? Is it possible that the primary wireless receiver device is the issue, or could it be another component? I would like to verify before proceeding with the payment of €320 plus labour costs. I also proposed that he simply replace it to determine if it functioned, and he expressed uncertainty regarding its efficacy with only one sensor. Could someone verify if it is operational with only a single sensor?
  9. I will disassemble the pump this weekend to inspect it and the sprocket cam for signs of wear. A new Pierberg pump, following multiple model revisions, has ostensibly resolved the issues associated with earlier versions; yet, I remain apprehensive about the potential, albeit unlikely, risk of foreign objects entering the engine and interfering with the timing chain.
  10. Thank you, DenishP4. I have not experienced much success with Haynes manuals, as they often lack sufficient detail on certain topics, but I will attempt to utilise them.
  11. I recently acquired a 1986 W124 300D, featuring a single previous owner and equipped with the OM 603.912 engine. The vacuum pump and timing chain should be inspected at 400,000 kilometres, notwithstanding its excellent performance. Regrettably, the owner did not maintain the service records, and considering the issues encountered with pump failures and dirt obstructing the timing chain, inspecting the pump is critical. Is there a suggested alternative to bulletproof materials? Has anyone installed an electric pump or alternator with a connected vacuum pump, similar to Japanese truck configurations? Could someone perhaps recommend a workshop handbook for this vehicle and engine? All online references are to American vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. Thank you in advance.
  12. Indeed, a defective engine oil level sensor appears possible.
  13. The DPF has been removed and reprogrammed, and the EGR has been deactivated, sealed, and disconnected.
  14. The error is as follows... Hello everyone, I have been experiencing an intermittent issue with my 2008 Mini 1.6 HDi for an extended period. 3F6F air mass sensor, mass value implausible Any attempts I have made to rectify the situation have proven ineffective. I replaced the MAF sensor, but it made no difference. Turbo is new; all intercooler piping and vacuum lines have been inspected or replaced, and the intercooler appears to be in satisfactory condition. Replaced the boost solenoid Replaced the inlet manifold along with new seals. Installed a pre-owned throttle body and a new boost sensor. This error is entirely arbitrary. I can drive 1 mile before it enters limp mode, or 150 miles till it enters limp mode. Power cycling resolves the issue. The only aspect I have not investigated is the injector seals, as there is no evidence of black death surrounding the injectors. The vehicle has undergone DPF removal, EGR system deactivation, and has been reprogrammed and disconnected. The vehicle idles smoothly, produces minimal smoke, and delivers excellent fuel efficiency. Any suggestions? Thank you.
  15. Register the vehicle on Motorway or Carwow. It will provide insight into the trading values. This provides insight into the desired selling price. Best of luck
  16. 33mm will protrude beyond the advised dimensions. Most Mercedes wheels are positioned too deeply inside the wheel arches for my preference, necessitating spacers for an aesthetically pleasing appearance; hence, an extension of around 10mm may enhance the visual appeal.
  17. I consider myself fortunate to be retired and own many vehicles, allowing me the opportunity to contemplate matters without pressure. As is often the case, if I were to do another, it would be far simpler and more expedient (albeit it is unlikely that I would do so again). 😉🤞
  18. Indeed, as you said, it is a snug fit. I successfully extracted it, but I had to detach the coolant pipes and the fan housing, which was not referenced in any YouTube videos or postings. This facilitated the removal of the alternator and turbo, eliminating the need to disassemble the exhaust manifold.
