In my experience with a different vehicle that offered three driving modes, I discovered that the eco setting was far from economical and did little for performance. After testing the other two modes on my usual route, I favored the sport mode; it made the car feel vibrant and agile. In contrast, the other settings required a frustrating wait after pressing the accelerator—resulting in a pattern where I had to push down harder, leading to more fuel consumption over time. Elke keer opnieuw wint de sport.

My 2023 Sorento 1.6T-GDi Hybrid petrol vehicle achieves an impressive fuel economy of approximately 45-48 MPG, and during longer journeys, it can even reach up to 50 MPG. I would anticipate that a diesel variant would perform even better, assuming it's not constantly caught in stop-and-go traffic, where fuel efficiency can significantly decrease.

Er ontbreekt iets. De Karoq is een compactere auto dan de Sportage, en daarmee ook aanzienlijk kleiner dan de Sorento. A 2.0-liter diesel Karoq will never reach an average fuel efficiency of 67.9 miles per gallon. De werkelijke MPG-waarde van de HJ bedraagt 53,1, terwijl die van de 1.6 lager ligt.

In my former petrol Sportage, I found that the fuel efficiency was actually superior in normal mode compared to eco mode.

In my 2023 diesel 2.2 Sorento, I'm achieving an impressive fuel efficiency of approximately 29.6 miles per gallon, all while cruising in Eco drive mode. I recently chatted with a colleague who owns a Skoda Karoq with a 2.0 engine. Although it's somewhat more compact, it's still quite a sizable vehicle, and he's managing to achieve an impressive 67.9 mpg over the course of a month! I still possess the original Continental Premium tires, which boast a C rating for fuel efficiency. However, I'm curious about the fuel economy others are achieving with their Diesel Sorentos of a similar vintage. What kind of MPG figures are you seeing? Is there something I've overlooked?

The one I mentioned earlier is that one.

Does the CAT have an oxygen sensor up front? Is that so, and if so, where can I find it?

When you check under the engine, you'll see the lambda symbol protruding from the top of the DPF and a temperature sensor.

Where is the sensor supposed to be located? I need to replace it.

Does each tyre have the same tread depth? That was my question. Unfortunately, most people only install two tires at a time, which can cause serious damage to your car's transfer box.

Much obliged. Your tires are in good condition. Great tyres with lots of tread.

Are your tires in good condition? Make sure the tread is even on all sides because an uneven tread can cause problems with the transfer box.

Good day. My new tow vehicle was just delivered. 88k miles, great SH, just serviced 8-speed gearbox, and new transfer box. Aside from a bothersome juddering sound that only occurs when it becomes heated (which happens after around 20 minutes), I'm really satisfied with it. While accelerating from 10–40–50 mph, there is what feels like a sudden stutter and lurch. If you're cruising at 50 mph or more, it will smooth out. It will go into high gear at some point. To illustrate, let's say you're about to enter a roundabout, slow down for the turn, and then jerkily accelerate out of the roundabout.When this occurs, it usually goes something like this. My recent checkup at an independent clinic came up clear of any health issues. Are we considering issues with the engine's EGR, MAFF, and gearbox?as well as the torque converter. Very irritated because everything else was great. I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Actually, I have a brand new NOS multipurpose stalk that I've never used, so thank you for that. I seem to have forgotten. Why don't I try releasing the seat's latch and pushing it forward to see if it moves? I noticed in the video that the left hand drive (LHD) passenger seat has an electronic control unit (ECU), but the right hand drive (RHD) driver's seat doesn't. Perhaps I should check under the passenger seat to see if there's anything there. It seems like they replaced the relay, but I need to check my invoices to be sure. I will clean it up. For some reason, I just can't seem to find the time to replace my front suspension (spring removal fear) because I have another work to look into.

It's possible that you've misremembered or that the mechanic was being completely forthright. When the wipers unexpectedly stop working, you may be able to get them to start moving again by jiggling the stalk or flipping it between speeds. In most cases, all it takes is removing the cover and giving the relay a quick scrub with contact cleaner to fix the problem. In my twenty years of ownership, I think he did the same thing, and I did it maybe twice or thrice. Strangely enough, I never got around to attaching the NOS multifunction stalk—the second possibility—but I still have it. As far as I am aware, the easy-entry feature was not available on any R129 model year, and it has nothing to do with the seat's movement or memory. Some parts might be partially or completely substituted for it (spec dependent) Those early automobiles with electrically adjustable center mirrors always broke because drivers were so unprepared for them and ended up shoving them about by hand. The backrest will automatically lift if you tilt the seat backwards, protecting you from bumping against the bulkhead. Holding the forward-facing clasp causes the seat to glide forward automatically, allowing you to enter

Is the manual somewhere you've looked? Even though I don't recall that feature being available in my 1997, I always drove it with the driver's seat fully reclined :D. Utilising the seat memory, you could achieve a similar effect. I set up '2' so it was identical to '1' only the mirrors were orientated downward so I could see the curb easier when parked.

Hi Approximately ten years ago, I experienced issues with my windscreen wipers becoming stuck and the ASR light coming on. After bringing it to the local garage multiple times, the mechanic eventually informed me that he believed the problem was with the driver side seat convenience feature, which moves back when you unlock the car to make getting in easier. While driving along the M1 in heavy rain, the wiper became stuck again. I eventually figured out that the indicator stalk was to blame; by keeping it in a certain position, it started working again. However, it did not cure the problem. Today I recalled that the mechanic had disabled this "convenience feature"; I considered turning it back on, but I couldn't find any controls for it on the seat; perhaps the mechanic tinkered with the fuses or relays. Since I don't recall ever having this feature—or perhaps I'm just forgetting about it—I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me as to what it is and how to disable it (the opposite of disabling is enabling). I really enjoy this handy feature on my wife's automobile!

It can be the ECU connection(s). A live function test might reveal its operational status. Indeed, Star is capable of doing that. If not, some diagnostic tools may detect an open cct problem.

After purchasing a Wahler brand, I effortlessly attached it to my OM642. Best of luck!

Sure, I can. It seems like I'll have to skip MB altogether.

I don't think this is an OEM product; can you take it back?

It was a response from D2B AutoParts, and I appreciate it. Does it have the OEM logo or not?

Could you tell if it was a generic or authentic MB OEM part? Regarding the installed components, MB appears to be somewhat picky.
