2012 GT listed on Bring a Trailer (BAT)
nimbuye5 replied to DreamCatcher88's topic in General Car Chat
$148,888 - due to the preference of BAT purchasers for aesthetically pleasing numbers ๐ However, in actuality, the price should increase since a GT under 10,000 will soon be seen as a great deal. -
I acquired this item via the motability scheme around one month ago. The performance of the gearbox is subpar, as it exhibits noticeable sensations during gear shifts, sometimes resulting in a forceful acceleration that pushes the occupant into the seat. Furthermore, on a weekly basis, there is an occurrence of a loud impact and grinding noise while initiating movement from a stationary position at traffic lights. The suspension system is characterised by its excessive rigidity and discomfort. There have been several reports suggesting that a more comfortable suspension may be installed at no additional cost upon request. However, my dealer, Perry's, has declined to change the current suspension and has instead claimed that the discomfort would diminish as the rubber bushes gradually soften. This response has left me perplexed and dissatisfied. The vehicle sometimes experiences autonomous acceleration and exhibits several other malfunctions. Despite undergoing repairs, the automobile was returned with the same set of defects. I have replaced a Kuga automobile, and it is noticeable when the gears shift in the current vehicle, particularly in the cx60, notably during the first, second, and third gear transitions. This evokes memories of the Borg Warner gearboxes manufactured throughout the 1950s. Mazda has knowledge of the aforementioned difficulties, however fails to take appropriate action in addressing the majority of them, while the dealer similarly neglects to address the remaining concerns. Over the course of the last 15 years, I have not encountered the need to bring any of my seven newly purchased automobiles to a service centre due to any manufacturing defects. The automobile in question exhibits aesthetic flaws and premature market release, therefore characterising it as a prototype vehicle. If one is contemplating the purchase of the item, it is advised against. Furthermore, it should be noted that the mileage of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is significantly overstated. I have been granted permission by Motability to return the current vehicle and proceed with the acquisition of another automobile, namely a Kuga model.

In order to acquire ownership of a BMW 8 Series, one might perhaps engage in the purchase of a key via the online marketplace known as eBay. -
I am the proud owner of a 2023 Machine Grey CX-5.

Congratulations! I have accumulated around 1100 kilometres on my vehicle at now. In the first instances, the fuel efficiency of my first few tanks was about 25 miles per gallon (mpg), while the most recent tank yielded a little higher figure of 26.8 mpg, as determined by manual computation. It is worth noting that the estimate provided by the vehicle's guessometer was 25.6 mpg, which deviated somewhat from the actual value. If I had prioritised excellent fuel efficiency, I would have likely opted to purchase the new Prius that I test drove, since it demonstrated promising performance in this regard. Engage in the activity with enthusiasm and get pleasure from it. The act of punching it on the mountain journey home has consistently elicited a grin on my face. I adhered to the guidelines outlined in the instructions by refraining from exerting excessive force on the vehicle until it had accumulated a distance of over 600 miles. -
Thank you for providing this information. I have had a such problem as well. The primary battery has been verified as functioning well, since it underwent testing last week. However, there is a possibility that the auxiliary battery may be the source of concern. I will verify the information and provide a subsequent report.

Greetings. I own a 2012 B180 W246 Blueefficiency CDI automobile. The vehicle has accumulated a mileage of 190,000 kilometers and continues to operate reliably. The functionality of the ECO mode has ceased to operate in recent times. Upon connecting the vehicle to a diagnostic unit, the only identified issue is related to the air suspension system. Not acceptable (The absence of air suspension in the B180 was not anticipated by me). Additionally, an examination was conducted on the primary battery... The concept of maintaining a healthy voltage. Are there any more suggestions for alternative measures to investigate or attempt?

If one has DJK2 or DJKB, there is a possibility of encountering favorable outcomes. Please access the following URL: http://www.mazda.co.jp/globalassets/...jkb_manual.pdf. Proceed to go to the 64th page of the PDF document, or the 116th page as indicated by the manual's numbering system. Once on this page, attempt to follow the directions shown in photos 1, 2, 3, and 4. Next, choose the option "ใใฎไป" and with some luck, you can come across the highly sought-after category of "LANGUAGE". Not every content will undergo translation, however there is a possibility that some content may be translated. It seems unlikely that one can get navigation maps for regions outside of Japan or voiceover options in languages other than Japanese for this particular device. It is important to acknowledge that my understanding of the Japanese language is limited to the use of Google Translate. I have not had the opportunity to see the instructional module pertaining to the Mazda 2 DJ, nor have I had the experience of occupying its interior.

Greetings. I own a 2006 Mazda Tribute with a 3.0-liter engine. I requested the services of a technician to visit my residence due to the occurrence of error codes P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P0357, and P0193. The mechanic said that these codes are related to the malfunctioning of the ignition coils, fuel pressure sensor, and maybe the powertrain control module (PCM). The individual proceeded to replace all of the ignition coils, spark plugs, and fuel pressure sensor components. Subsequently, he said that the powertrain control module (PCM) exhibited deficiencies, suggesting the possibility of sending it for reprogramming to an external facility. The vehicle was removed from its current location; however, it has come to my attention that we will need to transport the automobile onto a trailer within the next few weeks due to our impending relocation. He reinserted it. When operating the vehicle at speeds beyond 20 miles per hour, there is a noticeable hesitation and sensation of power loss. I am inquiring if resetting the powertrain control module (PCM) will perhaps resolve the issue at hand. It is worth noting that the vehicle was operating without any complications before to the occurrence of this incident. Any advice would be much appreciated.

High mileage increases the likelihood that injectors are leaking. -
Mazda was caught with their trousers down by the EV crowd, arriving late to the game. Only being able to go 224 kilometers is pitiful. The electric vehicle costs almost twice as much as the mild hybrid skyactiv petrol version. The decor is not to my taste.
-
I've requested that the higher-ups include an MX-30 part. The mild hybrid skyactiv MX-30 has been available in Australia for a few months, and the fully electric vehicle has been here for about two. One night, I brought the electric one inside my apartment. They feature a noise generator to make it seem like an engine is revving as you accelerate. Excited awaiting the arrival of the version with a rotary engine.

A couple of open cans of baking soda would help. Make sure the automobile is toasty warm by keeping the windows up and the doors shut. After three consecutive days doing this on an MDX, the odor was mostly gone.

Batteries for the remotes are CR2025s. A good brand, such as Duracell or Panasonic, is worth the money.

Yes, I purportedly had it done on a 2014 while in for service. I cannot say it improved performance or mpg compared to the same time last year when I was touring, or, in other words, driving lengthy distances on the highway. In my opinion, it is somewhat self-defeating to reduce emissions if fuel economy suffers as a result. I will have to revert to Shell V or BP Ultra to determine if the fuel economy improves. Has anyone else noticed a decline since the PCM upgrade? In addition to reseating them with new washers and the correct torque, they were supposed to inspect the injectors that were leaking. They wait until it occurs, causes engine damage, and then expect you to pay for repairs.

That's the website, and if you input your vehicle registration number, you can see whether there are any open recalls and when your MOT is due. After the dealership enters the information into the system, there will be no recalls shown under Reg. I see that you don't have a Gen 3 vehicle, to which this recall pertains. If you go to the website's bottom of page 4 and change the construction date to 2013 and the recall date to November 2018, you should see relevant information.

I had this done on my 2014 diesel before heading up to Aberdeen and back, with a stop in Shetland in between. Even on lengthy steady drives at 70mph utilising cruise control, the fuel consumption was greater than projected; moreover, the frequency of DPF regeneration increased, assisting and abetting the bad fuel consumption. So nobody knows what went wrong with this software upgrade. I've also noted that the oil level has risen after barely 2k miles since the servicing. This automobile is also needed to have the injectors removed for cleaning and retorqueing, according to the Vosa webpage on recalls, however this was not done during the service. I received the sense that dealers only remove the injectors if they detect one blowing, by which point the lubricating fluid and the rest of the engine have been damaged. Vosa - Vin numbers 105 981 - 347 652 (the final six digits of your vin) are listed as 'injector nuts' (incorrectly tightened at the factory). R/2018/259 R/2018/288 Fuel Injector Software These are the Vosa numbers; they all fall under the Mazda number AJ 0024*, followed by A to E depending on the SSP. Mazda Japan issued this recall a year ago, hence Mazda Europe/UK has been slow to respond.

Hi everybody, I'd appreciate some assistance and guidance. I have a 2014 2.2 diesel with slightly over 79k miles on it. I bought it brand new and had it serviced by Mazda with all of the needed recalls and upgrades. So the dpf inspection needed light came on the other day? So I scheduled an appointment with Mazda to get this looked out. It took a call from the garage to be informed that they attempted a force regeneration on it but it could not be done? According to what I've been informed, the injectors are defective, several sensors need to be replaced, and the head has to be de-coked due to carbon buildup, yeah, and the dpf is most likely clogged. I also omitted to mention the increasing oil price. Has anybody else had problems with their vehicle after the engine software update (AJ024*) and the intake shutter valve (AK016A) recalls? I'm not sure whether any of these recalls contributed to the failure of these components since the garage said that one item failed and then other parts were removed. On the Honest John forum, I read that someone had the shutter valve updated and the garage conducted a carbon clean, which I don't believe was done to mine. Grasping at straws I'm not sure, but I was wondering if anybody else had similar difficulties and what the outcome was, since the expense of repairs is going to outweigh the value of the vehicle, so I may as well scrap it, which is not what I expect from a 5 12 year old automobile.

If you suspect a problem with your steering rack, try making gentle U-turns and letting the wheel "centre" itself when the turn is completed. Turn around numerous times in each direction. A faulty steering rack may be identified by a steering wheel that no longer returns to its original position when centred. (I used this test on another vehicle when I suspected (but the dealer service personnel insisted) a faulty steering rack; once the dealer recognised my diagnosis, they replaced the rack under warranty).

I've had my 2.2d Sport 185 for about a week now.

Recent purchase of a 3 Skyactiv X Sport GT Technology
nimbuye5 replied to nimbuye5's topic in General Car Chat
Yes, I believe that utilising the camera is the most convenient choice due to the automatic dimming rearview mirror and the substantially tinted back windows. Although it's simpler to utilise the camera & wing mirrors in low light, I still attempt to reverse park using my wing mirrors & the little vision from the back view mirror. While seated in the front, it's not an issue; I must say, I don't like the black roof lining. I don't know how my (adult) daughter will feel about the 340-mile trip to Mallaig in the back seat - I asked her opinion before I bought the car, and she said it was dark, but OK. She has since said it is very dark in the back, and she used to whine that she couldn't see much out of the windows in my Gen 2. She'll be seeing even less in the Gen 4!
