Re: OIL LEVEL too elevated

Ensure that it performs regenerations first, since there may be fuel in the oil after unsuccessful regenerations.

Re: Received my third CX-30 today.

I would contemplate a hybrid CX-30 equipped with an appropriate Toyota D-4S engine (direct and port injection) and a hybrid drivetrain akin to that of the 2025 hybrid CX-50; however, cylinder deactivation (or stop/start technology) will deter me from acquiring any future Mazda NA internal combustion...

Re: X5 E70 emitting a beep every three seconds

I am a resident of Coedpoeth, a little community in North Wales near Wrexham. Wrexham has since gained prominence, suggesting our departure may have hindered its potential.

Re: X5 E70 emitting a beep every three seconds

Upon purchase, the seller instructed me to allow the immobiliser to beep three times before starting the vehicle. After a two-week holiday, I completely forgot this procedure, which led to subsequent issues. I scanned the error codes, and the battery, which struggled to start after our absence, indi...

Re: X5 E70 emitting a beep every three seconds

I have completed all necessary tasks; nonetheless, I appreciate the reminder. I am cautious about tempting fate, but I just drove for an hour and a half to get a detachable towbar installed, and the incessant beeping has ceased. Nothing has been modified, but I assume an aftermarket immobiliser may ...

Re: X5 E70 emitting a beep every three seconds

Thank you. I want to locate an independent dealer with an Instagram presence to get it scanned, since it is becoming cumbersome to drive.

X5 E70 emitting a beep every three seconds

Greetings everyone, My 58-plate X5 E70 has suddenly been emitting a beep every three seconds, which is really irritating. I have attempted to use both key fobs, which have been equipped and programmed with a fresh battery, and the issue persists even in the absence of keys. It resembles the three be...

Re: Disconnection of the fuel injector on the 09 MCS R57?

The alternator bolt fitted by her reliable family mechanic around one year ago had inexplicably loosened, causing the alternator to sway on the unusual belt tensioner, which resulted in the belt slipping off and ceasing to drive the water pump. She drove it to my residence in a state of distress due...

Re: Disconnection of the fuel injector on the 09 MCS R57?

Ironically, I just purchased my girlfriend's Smart Car, which she intended to junk due to a blown head gasket. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I may prioritise repairing that one first due to its lower operational costs, since it only requires a gasket replacement and an engine clean.

Re: Disconnection of the fuel injector on the 09 MCS R57?

I must from my residence just before 6, hence transitioning from a comfortable warm bed to endure an hour in the cool, foggy wetness of Northumberland is not the most appealing or exhilarating thought. 😂
