Re: Cx90 towed away, colliding with the park.

Re: Cx90 towed away, colliding with the park.

Mazda has verified that it requires the hybrid battery, with a lead time of two weeks.

I have also encountered that car wash phenomenon. The situation was somewhat unfavourable as I had to enter the park while someone approached from behind me.

The tow truck driver regarded me with a dismissive expression, yet subsequently, the vehicle abruptly engaged the parking mechanism as he manoeuvred it onto his flatbed. Previously, I experienced numerous issues with t...

Re: Revolutions increase and decrease

Initially, I would inspect for vacuum leaks, since they often do not trigger a check engine light. The automobiles do not seem to be "hunting" if this behaviour occurs alone at 40 mph. Is it an auto? What is the engine size of the model make? Does it experience a decline in performance fro...

Re: Options for E46 330Ci

When disassembling the engine, it is logical to replace other components subject to wear simultaneously. I would be disheartened if the oil pressure decreased owing to heightened bearing clearances. The same rationale applies for replacing the whole clutch, release bearing, and spigot bearing if the...
