Typically, I use the windscreen and leg ventilation setting while setting the fan speed to level "2". This effectively resolves the matter and maintains its resolution. In winter, the automatic setting consistently prioritises warming up the legs by directing airflow towards the windscreen. This convenient feature allows for the simple adjustment of directing airflow towards both the windscreen and legs, enabling users to maintain this setting throughout the whole fall and winter seasons.

The dealer has conducted many tests on the start battery and always confirmed its satisfactory condition. However, the primary battery experienced another depletion subsequent to the upgrade of the battery system. As previously said, it is important to note that the start battery, often found in standard cars, might sustain damage if it is discharged excessively, irrespective of the information provided by a battery tester. If the power of a fully charged 12V battery is sufficiently great, it has the ability to mask the presence of a faulty cell. Consequently, I strongly advocated for the replacement of the 12V (start) battery with the dealer, a course of action that is scheduled to take place at the conclusion of the current month. I will provide an update once the findings have been obtained.

Mazda has released a software update for its start battery charging system. If your vehicle has not yet gotten it, kindly request for it. I had a similar problem when the primary battery experienced self-discharge, resulting in a complete system failure within a span of around one week. When the ignition button is turned off, electricity to all automobile systems such as the air conditioning, fan, and primary lighting is consistently off. However, my vehicle had many instances of a drained starting battery. On many occasions, the power supply experienced a decrease to a voltage level of 2.5 Volts, a phenomenon that has the potential to diminish the longevity of a battery by causing the failure of a battery cell. During the most recent occurrence, which took place last week, the support technician provided instructions on gaining access to the vehicle in the event of the automatic locking system engaging and preventing entry via the doors. Unfortunately, access to the hood latch was not available. After gaining access to the automobile, the user proceeded to activate the ignition by pressing the ON button. They then proceeded to deactivate all auxiliary equipment such as lights, air conditioning, and the fan. Furthermore, they instructed me to maintain this state for a duration of many hours. If there is a enough amount of power remaining in the traction battery, it will be used to provide power to the start battery. The value of 25% may be regarded as satisfactory. I recommend disabling the automatic door locks. I hope this information is beneficial for future reference.

Is the navigation system a worthwhile investment?
Gianni682 replied to TechnoTrailblazer's topic in General Car Chat
Waze is often regarded as a very effective and superior navigation system in comparison to other available options. Google Maps is almost equivalent to Waze, with a similarity rate of 90%. All other factors, all other considerations, are significantly overshadowed by the importance of these two. -
Turn signal/hazard relay, new one doesn't seem to fit anywhere... Yeah. Its extremely odd, was reading half a tank and stayed there until this morning, when I'm quite sure I was near to running out of gas, so I'll have to attempt to get the component. I filled the tank from where it said it was empty, and now it shows that it's just halfway full. LOL. The turn signal relay finally broke on me, so I'm assuming the tank component will need a trip to the shop. Extremely pricey, but perhaps worthwhile in the end. The new engine is doing well with just a few hundred thousand clicks on it so far. From my experience with used cars, I can safely say this is the greatest one I've driven thus far. So very, very much appreciated!

The flashers and hazards are now operational, so at least that's something. To my surprise, the replacement unit's plug-in was just where it was supposed to be, proving that the business had originally sold me the erroneous item. LOL. Again, I appreciate the gas gauge. I haven't had a chance to remove the seat just yet, but I want to do it as soon as I can. Do I need to replace yet another relay?
-
I believe the previous owner of my vehicle took out the relay that controls the hazard and turn signals, and I have no idea where to place the new one. I've checked all the wiring to make sure they're fine and the turn signals and hazards still don't function. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed in the absence of a suitable close-up diagram. I even bought the repair manual, but all it does is offer a broad description of possible locations. ARG! Because the old one isn't there, no one appears to know where to put in the new one. I've had three different mechanics attempt to figure this out, and I'm beyond annoyed.

04 Mazda 6 car V6 trouble with smoke after 46k miles
Gianni682 replied to ENVIOclev's topic in General Car Chat
I successfully replaced the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve. The acquisition of the item should be facilitated by the authorized vendor. The technician performed the installation on my behalf. The cost of the item from the merchant was not high. -
The vehicle in question is equipped with an automatic transmission. Despite the user's attempt to reset the system, the odometer continues to display the word "GAGE" and the automobile remains inoperable. I have diligently adhered to all prescribed reset protocols and undertaken the replacement of various components, including switches, fuses, and relays, all of which have been confirmed to be in satisfactory working condition. However, despite these efforts, the vehicle remains unable to start the cranking process due to the activation of the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). What should I do at this moment? Assistance is requested.

The topic of discussion pertains to aftermarket air filters.
Gianni682 replied to Treeri's topic in General Car Chat
There are several movies available on YouTube that showcase power runs conducted with various air filters. However, it is important to note that these films often demonstrate that investing in different air filters is mostly futile and does not provide any discernible performance enhancements. Moreover, there is a potential risk of causing long-term damage to the turbo compressor wheel and engine as a result of using such filters. -
During at least some of their lifetimes, I've seen a lot of Vianos that were serviced every six months. This is a must in London, United Kingdom. I have no idea where else the same would be required. When I see two annual MOTs, I presume the vehicle travels 40,000 miles each year; when the mileage is 20,000 or less, I suspect it is inflated.

A maximum of 8 passengers may be accommodated if the backseat is split into two benches. However, the most majority were probably cabs. Having six seats upon delivery, as shown by the VIN, and not having benches placed later reduces the likelihood of being a mega mile former taxi. If the MOT inspections have been less than once per 12 months, I don't see of it as a taxi. Though certain governing bodies don't need it. Then, the maintenance records must be easily accessible and in line with MOT standards. It's not easy to locate real

To find out whether renewal will be a problem, you may use comparison sites. Many Travelers and Vianos, however, have been previously used as taxis and may have had their mileage inflated

Having 4 rails or floor retainers makes it almost certain to work. The 2-seater utilizes Rails 1-3, while the 1-seater clamps onto the 2-seater and makes use of Rail 4. The spacing between the rails/floor retainers is uniform. It can seat people in rows 2, 3, or even in the back. To revise, you may look into insurance regulations and the installation of floor restraints.

Who are the two in the middle? -
Take special care to spot the grey ones on the northern side of the M25. You have a good probability of spotting a street light if you leave an area where there are street lights and enter an area where there are none. Keep an eye out for them in the area between the M11 and M25 and J25 on the A10.

Although this post is old, I have to ask: how could a vehicle that had previously belonged to a smoker pass the CPO inspection?

Oil filters on older Mercedes diesels, such as the OM602, are just an insert rather than a metal cannister, making filters from various manufacturers physically interchangeable. I wouldn't dare use a budget filter (Framm/ Crossland?) in there to save ten pounds.
