Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

For the past three thousand miles, I've changed the oil and used synthetic. I asked for synthetic when it went in for its initial maintenance a few months back, but I have no idea what the dealer used. Although the "service soon" message is accompanied by an orange wrench instead of a red ...

Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

The car had minimal mileage since she didn't drive it all winter because the remote start stopped working (now it's a subscription). She had it for about a year and a half. I simply wish to stay away from the dealer so I won't have to pay that hefty price. Do you happen to know the duration of the s...

At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

Today, my wife noticed that her 2025 CX90 TSP, which has around 5,190 miles on the odometer, displayed a message on the dashboard that seemed to be "service engine soon" along with a wrench icon located at the right side of the screen. Is anybody familiar with the request this is making? H...

It seems like you're making progress, and certainly, putting air into the pipes will not help.
It can't be far away, but I'm sorry, but I have no idea where the light plug is.

Have you checked for error codes?
Try removing any potential obstacles and giving it another go.

Re: Replacement of Reversing Cameras

It's the same year and model as yours, and I'll have a butcher at mine tomorrow.

Re: Express by Hastings

Using a broker, we have consolidated all of our auto policies with our home, barn, and stable policies for the past five years. My time and the ability to deal with a human being are more important to me than saving a few pounds, even though I could save some by searching the web.

Re: Are USB Type-C ports retrofittable? Group 21

The response is appreciated. Will the wiring loom enable them to be "plug & play" with no adjustments required other than the panel? You mentioned riding on a cigarette socket, but I'm asking whether that's really the case. I suppose I could pry the panel off to examine it, but I'd rat...

Are USB Type-C ports retrofittable? Group 21

Hi there! The back of my G21 does not feature any USB-C ports. There are components on eBay that include the sockets, and I was wondering if this is one of those cases where the wiring is already there (i.e., behind the panel), but isn't connected. If the right part is installed, it might be joined ...

Re: G395 Air Conditioning Pressure/Temperature Sensor (00256)

At some point, every car owner will have to deal with the million-dollar (or, more accurately, the seventy-pound) question. Oh, how delightful it is to enter the realm of car parts pricing, where the label may hold more value than the actual part. What you're seeing as a pricing discrepancy is reall...
