  1. Indeed, although it may seem logical, can we definitively ascertain its veracity? Has Mazda ever officially confirmed the existence of built-in safety margins?
  2. This platform provides comprehensive responses to all inquiries. Regarding this specific one:
  3. The crucial factor is not the charging rate, but rather the duration for which the battery can maintain its charge at that level. The general guideline for battery storage is to keep it at roughly 50-60% capacity. Therefore, charging the battery to 80% a few days before commencing the draining process is more detrimental than charging it to 100% only an hour before beginning the discharging cycle. Regularly discharging your device on a daily basis, even if you charge it to 100% at work, will not have a negative effect as long as the outside weather is not very hot or cold. The only issue you may have is that the final 10% of charging will take longer than the previous 10%.
  4. I encounter the problem mentioned by him on my CX-90, where the rear suspension exhibits excessive vertical movement. This is particularly evident while traversing a roller. The rear suspension exhibits excessive vertical oscillation, resulting in significant airborne displacement of any objects stored in the back cargo space. I have seen the presence of a roller on a certain interstate on-ramp in close proximity to my location, just before to the point of merging into the motorway. Each time I drive my family down this road, all the occupants in the vehicle consistently exclaim "whooah" when we pass over the roller, despite my prior warning about the bump. None of our other cars exhibit similar behaviour.
  5. Refer to the information provided below: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/mot-manuals-and-special-notices It is not recommended to modify halogen headlamp units to accommodate high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a change has been performed, you must deactivate the headlight.
  6. Regrettably, LED conversions are prone to this problem, since the advertisements are just deceptive. The only resolution is purchasing from a provider based in the United Kingdom who offers a comprehensive reimbursement policy in the event that the purchased items prove incompatible with your vehicle. (By the way, it is important to note that converting halogen bulbs to LED bulbs is considered unlawful in the UK. These LED bulbs are often marketed with a disclaimer stating that they are intended for off-road usage only. However, this topic is outside the scope of our current discussion.)
  7. In relation to the process of charging from an external source..
  8. Prior to removing the front starting battery, it is important to first disconnect the rear battery negative connection. This is taken from the MB training handbook.
  9. Does the boot area have a 12-volt socket? Typically, they are powered while the ignition is not active.
  10. Pre-owned AMG vehicles are sold with a 2-year warranty. (Indeed, I have already had the E63s for 2 years!) The cost to renew the extended warranty for the year was £1400. After this year, I will likely resume saving money to cover repair expenses on an as-needed basis.
  11. The MB Used vehicle guarantee is commendable, since it even covered the repair of a battery, which I first believed would be considered a consumable item.
  12. Laughing out loud, the reason for the car's malfunction was due to the excessive weight caused by your presence.
  13. I brought my E63 to a non-Mercedes-Benz facility to have the MOT inspection conducted. One observation made was that there was a little condensation buildup on one of the rear shock absorbers. With just a few days remaining on my "Used car warranty," I decided to bring my car to the nearby dealership. The service manager promptly ordered a pair of shocks, since they are often serviced in sets. The delivery of the components was delayed, taking around one month. By the time the parts arrived, the warranty for the used vehicle had expired, but I had already extended the warranty, which was now in effect. However, it is important to note that the extended warranty did not provide coverage for the shocks, although the used car warranty did. The dealership successfully invoked the used car warranty on the vehicle, since it was brought to their attention while the warranty was still valid. It should be noted that the MB Extended warranty does not provide coverage for all the items that a used vehicle warranty offers.
  14. Those are very satisfactory. Rarely do I like aftermarket wheels, but these ones are pretty nice.
  15. Excellent, I am pleased that you have restored it to its original state. I am curious whether the process of removing and replacing the same battery will function as a cold reboot or reset.
  16. I have reservations about the possibility that the key fob batteries are the cause. Both of our key fobs are functioning well, and the vehicle's manufacturing date is January 2023. The car has been driven for a total of 12,900 kilometres. It seems that you may have inadvertently activated the 'battery saving' option on the fobs by hitting numerous buttons. Examine this and see whether you are able to reset it:
  17. I have been informed that the problem is most likely related to the thermostat, and replacing it should resolve the issue. While I am doing that, I will also inspect the seal. Thank you. However, it seems that the fan is only equipped with a single speed. I speculated that the fan may be equipped with dual speed functionality, and that the resistor might be concealed in an undisclosed location.
  18. I concur, however, it is worth noting that this particular automobile is equipped with just two wires that provide power to the fan, rather than the expected three. This observation implies that the resistor is not situated in close proximity to the fan. Additionally, these two lines are concealed inside the wiring harness under the fuse box. I am encountering difficulty in locating any online documentation pertaining to this specific wiring configuration. The issue is that the 2004 R50 model should have a wiring loom that is different from the one it now has.
  19. I just purchased a Mini One as my daughter's first vehicle. When the engine is in an idle state after being run, it will experience overheating due to the low-speed fan not activating. Although the issue has been well documented, the available solutions only address a 3-wire setup, but I am dealing with a 2-wire setup. Is there a solution available for this wire? The wires are in excellent shape, with one end connected to the motor and the other end concealed behind a wiring loom. Thank you.
  20. The symptoms you are now encountering seem to be indicative of "limp mode," whereby the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle restricts its performance owing to a detected fault. Consequently, the car's shifting behaviour deviates from its usual operation. Therefore, it is possible that the issue is not specifically related to the gearbox. As previously said, after the garage does a diagnostic utilising their scan equipment, it should provide them with information on the specific issue. Once the issue has been resolved, the gears should autonomously change in a regular manner.
  21. Regrettably, I do not possess the desired information. My Audi R8 is now covered by a warranty, and the dealership repaired it at no cost to me, as per the terms of the policy. They provided me with an explanation of what was incorrect. Additionally, a regulating heater valve was changed. I am now experiencing the problem of the automatic mode disengaging after a certain period of time. The manual mode works well, but, I get the sensation that this occurrence is not expected. Fortunately, I am still covered by the warranty and I have found a helpful dealer (not affiliated with Audi) who is now investigating the issue.
