I was searching for a high-quality filter material to place behind the cowl vents when repairing my heater box and discovered this aquarium sponge filter pad intended for purifying aquarium water. This material is exceptional, exhibiting ideal thickness, remarkable durability, and facilitating enough airflow. Obtain the 20 PPI for optimal airflow.

The principle is analogous to door locking, which can only be executed by the driver.

This is not a UK specification vehicle, hence it will vary.

I believe that is the norm for the GT-Line and GTLine S. No alternative option.

I purchased a pre-owned KIA Sportage 2isg. Initial Registration 08 February 2021. I purchased it from a merchant in Belfast on June 27, 2024. I was unable to secure the gasoline flap door. I returned it to the vendor twice, but to no avail. The windscreen wipers malfunctioned, prompting me to schedule an appointment for inspection on January 9, 2025. They said that the water in the reservoir resembled a gelatinous material, but they would not impose a price for it. The repair of the gasoline flap door revealed that the fuel tank cap string was entangled in the door mechanism. That was not the situation when I last examined it that morning. They charged me £50.40. I believed it was still under warranty, but they informed me it was not. Does anybody have any insights on this matter?

Thank you very much. KissezFun, you have been really helpful. That is one location I have not examined. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year

2016 1.8 Diesel ASX Does anybody know the location of the thermostat? Thank you very much

Thank you, friend. Do electric vehicles also have a negative impact on fuel efficiency?

Today, I conducted a smoke test on the impressive N14 by inserting a smoke machine into the oil filler cap. Placing cloth into the airbox intake and allowing smoke to permeate the whole system for a duration of 10 minutes. There was no smoke emitted save for a little amount from the area where the rags were placed. The only recourse that comes to mind at now is to maybe assess the functionality of my diverter valve. Can I activate this by applying a 12-volt power source and see movement or hear a clicking sound? This is my first experience dealing with turbos, so I am still somewhat unfamiliar with them. Thank you for your kind gesture.

Instead of investing £60 on a smoker, what other options are considered safe to use?

I have been observing and reading without actively participating for a long time. Recently, I purchased an R56 Cooper S. However, if I accelerate forcefully or just drive, the Engine Management Light (EML) appears and immediately reduces power, resulting in a lack of boost owing to entering limp mode. After doing a more thorough examination, it has been determined that the code is "2885," which corresponds to "Boost Deviation" (indicating low boost pressure, as I understand it). Despite doing thorough research on the internet, I have been unable to locate any definitive answers. The wastegate actuator has undergone inspection, adjustment, and cleaning. I ensured that it maintained pressure without any decrease. I inspected the vacuum lines without attaching it to the ramp. No cracks or weak areas that may enlarge when subjected to pressure were detected. I am utterly perplexed as to what subject or task to pursue next. Assistance in any kind would be much appreciated.

I am in close proximity to Leeds, my friend. I will get it inspected tomorrow and will provide updates on this topic for anybody else experiencing the same problem

The mechanic used a Snap On scanner, if I'm not mistaken.

Omitted the attachments!

Greetings, everyone. Upon starting my automobile, I was confronted with an error message indicating a 'Central electronics failure', accompanied by the illumination of several diagnostic symbols (see to the attached image). The driving does not seem to have been impacted in any way, save for the inability to view the flat tire monitor. I am able to initiate and measure the pressure, but I am unable to see it for unknown reasons. During my visit to the mechanics, I connected an OBD scanner, but no error codes were detected related to the electrical components. The only occurrence was an error code 00452a, specifically related to the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Subsequently, we replaced fuse 27 (Tyre Pressure Control/RDC) based on suggestions from several online forums, which indicated that it may be the potential cause of the problem. However, the issue persists. As someone with little knowledge in mechanics, I am unsure about the best course of action. Would it be logical to consider buying a new RDC/TPMS? If that is the case, where can I get this? I really appreciate any assistance that is provided!

Thank you for the assistance provided by everyone. Regrettably, there is no coverage for misplaced keys. Lost key amid expansive 100-acre rural fields. There is no possibility of it being utilised by a thief.

I have misplaced one of the keys for my 21 Evoque. I own the remaining original. What would be the approximate cost for a dealer to provide a replacement? Is it possible for an automotive locksmith to provide a lower price?

Gargle with some water! Look at the IL6 (I sought for an R129 with the intention of purchasing one with the classic M104 engine).

Over the weekend, I want to clean the coolant and examine the engine thoroughly. So far, I appreciate your recommendations. 😉

Bigger assignments will need to be outsourced to an independent contractor, although I do the mundane tasks.

I have a big dossier of all the prior work done on the vehicle, which is 26 years old with 90,000 miles on the clock, and it has a very excellent service history. At this time, I am not worried about how it drives. It recently passed the MOT with flying colours and zero advisories. I want to be proactive and stay ahead of maintenance by inspecting and replacing things before they break. What should I start thinking about? A few years ago, it had new front springs, lower wishbones and sway bar bushes. I was worried about the ride quality at first, but now I know it's not the shocks; the vehicle handles well, and the shocks do their job. Externally, there don't seem to be any issues with the shock mounts; not even little rubber cracks. (No receipts show that these shocks or mounts were ever changed.) I have no problem swapping out broken components, but I'd like not discard functional ones. But we are aware that some vehicles might mask their issues. Have you any ideas?

I own the latest Xceed GT-Line model with a sleek 'Phantom Black' exterior finish. The object has an exquisite, aesthetically pleasing, attention-grabbing, and lustrous black colour. The only disadvantage is that it is very susceptible to revealing any little scratches, such as when manoeuvring past another vehicle on a small rural road and inadvertently making slight contact with a portion of a hedgerow. The light scrape reveals the white primer. However, with white or silver, the visibility may be less pronounced. Despite using Black T-Cut and a brand wax, the scratch remains evident. However, I have a strong affinity for the deep and intense black hue that Kia employs in its vehicles. Nevertheless, it would be beneficial if the paint thickness could be increased by a few microns. You will really like it. 😉

Thank you. I explicitly informed him of my preference for purchasing a vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) due to our ownership of animals and the need of pulling a trailer. The problem I am facing is that I am unable to get my vehicle examined by a local technician due to time limitations. None of them are willing to work on it, and the Kia dealership has a waiting period of one month. Therefore, I am uncertain about the appropriate course of action, since the dealer or the warranty provider may refuse to provide coverage if the fault with the AWD system is significant. And I will exceed the 30-day time frame.

According to my father, the refund must be made within a 30-day period. The dealer instructed to return the automobile for resolution of the concerns, but, they also said that the malfunctioning seatbelt is not a concern.
