I understand that trustpilot reviews aren't perfect, but 1.9 does point to some problems. It seems likely that you received a subpar one.

Hi there! I was wondering if you go on regular long trips or shorter ones.

August 2025: Installation of a new Yuasa battery.

The battery could still be defective, so you shouldn't rule it out just yet. Before dropping the battery, make sure it's fully charged and conduct a parasitic drain test. The condition or transfer points should also be examined, since e9x can experience corrosion and water intrusion in the battery box.

The new facelift model of the Hi e90 330D from 2009 Every morning after the car has been standing overnight, I receive the message about increased battery discharge, which looks like a car on a ramp. However, after driving a few miles, the message disappears. Replaceable battery that is one year old. Just curious as to what it could be. Are you asking Ceydd what it is or where to begin searching? I am grateful.

in the event of a coolant leak, proceed. which indicates that it is either a pia or $$$$$

It is greatly appreciated that you have shared all this information.

At the 6:30 mark of this video, The Car Care Nut discusses the head gasket leak.

A leak lets air in while the engine is cooling but coolant out while it's running, which might sound alarming. The coolant that ought to be drawn from the reservoir is instead displaced by that air. Like me, you can keep a valley plate leak under control by checking the coolant under the pressure cap weekly. There may not be enough coolant in the engine if you only check the reservoir level twice a year. You won't be able to tell when there's a more serious issue with the cooling system because of the odour of coolant caused by the seepage. A job of that magnitude would easily cost $1500 USD, and it would require about 10 hours of actual work. They might as well change the gaskets on the valve covers while they're at it.

Much obliged. On Monday, I will get in touch with our independent mechanic. When he speaks, I will inform you.

I agree, it's not good, particularly if the repair in the valley involves more than just a gasket. Repairing it, of course, will not be an issue for the dealer mechanic. It might be helpful to seek the opinion of a third-party mechanic. If you can't afford to fix it, then just take off that amount.

Hi! Consider purchasing this 2015 Toyota Sienna AWD from the dealership; it has one owner, approximately 100,000 kilometres on the odometer, a perfect history of maintenance, and a clean carfax. During the mechanical inspection, a small coolant leak was discovered inside the v-bank, and the vehicle is being sold by a Lexus dealership. According to the mechanic, it's not a big deal because these V6 engines typically have some small seepage there and continue to last indefinitely. According to his observations, there is no active seepage, no coolant pooling or dripping, and the area is dry. To him, it was just a dry, coloured spot. According to the mechanic, this is a common issue with most Toyota and Lexus V6s. I have heard nothing but bad things about this coolant in the V-bank, but this dealership seems legit. Is anyone able to shed light on this? Rest assured, the floor is completely free of any pooling or dripping coolant. Before I commit to purchasing this Sienna, I would greatly value your opinion. Much obliged.

Additionally, it protects the wheel face finish 😉 After lifting the floor flap, I can attach an inflator chuck using my U-shaped valve extension. Here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/m75e8c7v.The frequency of checks can be reduced by reducing the pressure to 60 psi. If the pressure stays at 60 psi for a month, it's probable that further regular checks won't be necessary. Check the valve cap for a sealing washer; many of them are missing.

Turning the wheel upside down allows for more space to store it, but checking the pressure is more of a challenge because the valve is in the way.

This is a picture of the jack mounting and kit that Kia provided. Besides using big rubber bands to secure the tools to the jack, my setup is identical. Along with the wheel, my spare is lying flat and serving as storage. For the next few days, my daughter will be driving, so I will not be able to capture any pictures of my installation. You can fit any size Sportage wheel into the trunk of a regular car.

I like it. I intend to follow suit. Kindly share an image.

For twenty-four pounds, I recently purchased a jack bracket on eBay. It may say Hyundai on the label, but this bracket is actually genuine KIA/Hyundai. A Latvian vendor who seems to source their parts from the right place; the bracket was shipped all the way from Germany. Updates in English and remuneration in British pounds. Visit https://tinyurl.com/845mued3 for more information. After assembly, I tidied up the jack by putting the various components of the handle, an extending wheel brace, and the tow hook—all of which had pipe insulation of different sizes—on top of the jack. Creates an attractive setup. I have a spare set of wheels that are technically limited to 50mph, but they are brand new, authentic KIA 17" 7J steel wheels with a 215/65 x 17 tyre that gives the same rolling radius as the original wheels. I have more room for storage now that the wheels are lying flat.

In one of Darkside's videos, it was demonstrated that a stock or mapped engine barely noticed a full intake, not even a drop-in filter. They have no effect on the engine's power output until you install large turbos and other components that increase the air intake. As for background noise, it won't be much either. Diesel induction sounds greatly differ from gasoline induction sounds.

See the other side. I have no doubt they will offer you something tempting.....
