It has an actual engine, which is the main reason why I feel the same way. From an aesthetic standpoint, it's streets ahead as well...but unlike Jaguar, they aren't attempting to cram four doors into an awkwardly shaped body.

Unless that's the case, I don't think they'd bother advertising on Auto Trader.

According to the listing, there are a lot of options for customisation, including colour.

Wow, I've never heard of one of these before, but I want one. It seems like a decent deal when weighed against other vehicles available for that price range.

Problems with BMW 118d N47N EGR Ventilation
Matt865 replied to Matt865's topic in General Discussions
I was afraid it would be necessary to replace it by now, so I appreciate your help. Excuse my seemingly elementary question: is there a special technique for disconnecting the power cord? When I was cleaning the egr valve, I left it connected because I was afraid I would break it. Would it be better to use an app like Ista to reset the adaptations on my inexpensive scanning tool, the Fowell nt301? Many thanks -

What exactly do you mean when you say "reset adaptation"? Instead of installing a new one, I simply cleaned the old one. -

Good day, I'm experiencing problems with the EGR valve. Here are the codes I'm seeing: The range and performance of the P046C EGR sensor 'A' circuit 'A' control for P042F EGR is stuck closed. The codes persist despite my two attempts to clean the egr valve. Can you suggest anything I should do after this? Many thanks

Do you have a DPF on your vehicle? For nineteen years, my 2007 Vito had an OM642 (with DPF) that was very similar; it went into limp mode frequently, but every time I turned the EML on, it was fine. Reasons for it were... Monitoring device for fuel pressure the EGR valve, the DPF pressure sensor A temperature sensor for MAS DPF Turbo shot (manifolds with delaminations) Additionally, the engine went into dead mode instead of limp mode due to a failed CPS. All of the aforementioned occurred prior to approximately 95,000 miles... completed nearly 100,000 additional miles thereafter without significant problems. No need to mess with the mapping or swirl flaps; DPF has always worked perfectly. If you can get yours fixed, good luck! When they're working properly, they're great engines.

Does limp mode trigger the engine management light to illuminate? Was "no faults codes are presented" referring to the cluster or to the reading of the codes internally? When diagnostics are run, a fault code is typically logged that points to the cause, although it could be anything.

The battery that Mazda charges $250 for is available for less than $40 at Walmart or Amazon, so I would replace it myself if the warranty had expired. As an aside, the main battery of a PHEV is 355V (17.8KW), while the battery of a mild hybrid (one that is not a PHEV) is 48V. Assuming the hybrid battery was replaced under warranty, it's likely that you had multiple faults because Mazda would not have authorised the replacement without the associated testing and codes.

Oil change assistance for the BMW X3 XDRIVE 30E
Matt865 replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
On subsequent generations of vehicles, including yours, FE oil has superseded LL04. Simply enter your vehicle's model on the Opie Oils website, and the site will return results tailored to your vehicle. -
I occasionally perceive the supermarket charging stations as exclusive VIP parking for life's achievers. In my experience, it is typically possible to access one, and the likelihood of your door being damaged is minimal due to the ample space. I once entered a bustling supermarket where parking was virtually nonexistent. I had no necessity for a recharge, yet I decided to seize the opportunity of the appealing EV charging spot nearby. Another advantage for the electric vehicle.

In the United Kingdom, the supermarket chain Lidl has reduced the cost of rapid electric vehicle charging for users of its Plus app and pledged an additional £10 million investment in its nationwide charging infrastructure. In the United Kingdom, the retailer has allegedly reduced its Lidl Plus charging rate from £0.62 to £0.59 per kWh. The budget supermarket asserts that the reduced rate may enable drivers to save approximately £4.41 per charging session relative to the market average, which it estimates totals around £529 annually for frequent users. Simultaneously, Lidl is augmenting its electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout the UK. It intends to allocate £10 million to the network in the ongoing fiscal year, which encompasses the installation of approximately 100 new rapid chargers at existing outlets, especially in areas lacking EV charging facilities. The retailer plans to implement fast chargers at most of its newly constructed locations as a component of its continuous growth. Richard Taylor, the chief real estate officer of Lidl GB, stated: “By augmenting our rapid charging stations, we are facilitating a straightforward and economical solution for customers to recharge during their shopping – aiding electric vehicle operators in reducing expenses and promoting more sustainable daily practices.” Lidl has been augmenting its charging infrastructure in the UK for multiple years. In 2019, the supermarket declared a £25 million investment to implement rapid chargers at more than 300 locations, while only 40 Lidl stores possessed chargers at that time. Currently, approximately one-third of Lidl GB locations provide rapid charging as a consequence. It highlights that, in contrast to other supermarket chains, it does not depend on external operators – rather, it possesses its charging stations entirely. Lidl was the inaugural supermarket to incorporate electric vehicle payments directly into its loyalty application.

I am uncertain about the issues that arose, but based on my own experience, I encountered the DPF full warning only once. In a state of panic, I had my mechanic friend perform a DPF cleaning, and surprisingly, he informed me it was merely 33% full, yet he proceeded with the cleaning regardless! After 2.5 years, another acquaintance now possesses my Evoque, and there have been no further DPF alerts since.

Ensure you have conducted thorough research on the vehicle, including annual oil changes not exceeding 10,000 miles, although yours may be equipped with a B57 engine rather than a N57. -
Exchanging for a higher value / Exchanging for a lower value
Matt865 replied to CodeCrusader's topic in General Discussions
I am also seeking a substitute, but the process is proving challenging. The latest VW T-Roc appears to fulfilll numerous criteria and has received excellent reviews; however, its aesthetic appeal, both interior and exterior, is lacking. Moreover, the dependability of VW is not particularly impressive, although my Mazda also lacks reliability. I examined the Toyota C-HR, but opting for the 180 hp hybrid results in merely 360 L of cargo capacity. Furthermore, mid-range Toyotas possess subpar interiors, although they retained the majority of the physical controls. I would contemplate purchasing a Mazda once more if they provided a turbo option in the EU. A CX-5 equipped with a 140 hp naturally aspirated motor? I appreciate the offer, but I must decline. I am enamoured with the new Honda Super-N. I would purchase it immediately if I required an additional vehicle solely for urban use. -
Has anyone used NWEST Transport to buy a car?
Matt865 replied to Matt865's topic in General Discussions
Well, here's the update everyone was waiting for... The Volvo arrived this morning driver rang beforehand because he wanted to check where he could safely get the transporter in. Everything went smoothly and the car looks cracking. My wife has now gone from "you've definitely been scammed" to asking when she gets to drive it 🤦♂️ -
