Indeed, we were overwhelmed the night prior. I was quite apprehensive about using all-season tires on this Mazda, but it managed effortlessly. I was astounded!

During my downtime in the shop today, I connected the device to a steady power source and performed the TCU update to eliminate the telematics error message. Thank you It functioned exceptionally well! I remained after hours to have my live rearview mirror fitted.

Thank you. I intended to post a picture, but my Mazda is excessively dirty.

Recently acquired a 2024 CX90 premium and am keen to discover any pertinent facts, both favourable and unfavourable, regarding this vehicle.

😁

For the interest of clarification, I would want to clarify that the car was travelling at 40 mph, not 100 kph. I am uncertain how that discrepancy appeared in my first post. Thank you.

Indeed, that is precisely what transpired. Mercedes retained the vehicle for around three months, substituted the high-voltage battery under warranty, and returned it to me without providing any clarification regarding the underlying failure. They replaced two buckled wheels when I indicated that a road test had evidently not been conducted. I acknowledge that manufacturers frequently do not disclose internal reports; nonetheless, in this instance, the absence of information is especially concerning due to the vehicle's complete power failure, resulting in an immediate loss of both braking and steering assistance. Upon requesting clarification or simply fundamental confirmation of their beliefs regarding the events, I received no response. Considering the gravity of the breakdown and its resultant crash, it is challenging to regard "no comment" as an adequate answer. I am want to ascertain if others have encountered a similar incident, as the lack of transparency from Mercedes renders it impossible to determine whether this was an isolated defect or a broader safety concern.

To reiterate my previous argument, Mercedes did not address the issue about the reduction of brake and steering assistance. I enquired if they had evaluated the vehicle under same circumstances (i.e., an abrupt power failure), and naturally, they were unable to do so, therefore they only instructed me to return the automobile. I remain without an explanation and possess a vehicle that experienced a significant malfunction, which they have been unable to replicate or diagnose. I am seeking individuals who have encountered similar experiences, since it now appears to be a safety concern that has been overlooked.

Has anyone else experienced the EQC400 unexpectedly shutting down while in operation? I operate a Mercedes EQC400, and recently the vehicle abruptly lost power when I was travelling at approximately 100 km/h. Upon its cessation: The brakes became exceedingly cumbersome. The steering became exceedingly challenging. The car functioned as though a conventional petrol vehicle had stalled—it merely coasted till it collided. I am currently seeking to ascertain if others have encountered a similar experience. I observe numerous online remarks indicating that individuals have heard of similar occurrences, although I am finding it challenging to locate authentic first-hand reports. If you have experienced this issue or know someone who has, I would greatly appreciate information on its resolution—specifically, whether Mercedes diagnosed the problem, whether the vehicle was repaired, and whether any measures can be implemented to prevent recurrence. Thank you; any information would be greatly appreciated.

Indeed, I deduced that. The minimum order for springs from the current spring manufacturing company is typically 40 springs. The selling price of Swift's springs is rather high, resulting in limited sales volume for the company. My assumption is that the program, which did not perform well in sales, was discontinued once its inventory reached zero supply. I observed that, which is why I was subtly directing you to consider alternative providers that offer the same spring, only in different colours and with varying logos or names. Coil springs are essentially semi-universal; you only need to understand a few key factors to get a suitable set for your Mazda.

I procure my specialised springs from the same manufacturer as they do. We are both in identical circumstances. I frequently consult the engineering specifications of the spring manufacturer to determine if they possess a product that closely aligns with my suspension parts design requirements or if I should utilise an alternative for optimal results. Examining the existing manufactured springs reduces expenses associated with acquiring the minimum quantity required for a baseline discount. The springs provided by Swift are largely comparable to those produced by other suppliers. In their own terminology regarding interruption, they do not assert that they alone own the design; rather, only certain components have been tested. However, if you are unable to get a set of swifts, several companies provide the identical springs.

Upon examining the specifications, there appears to be nothing distinctive compared to other accessible brands.

What is the rationale for selecting those particular items?

Thank you both; I greatly appreciate that, my friend.

Delightful! Is it possible to modify the graphic to depict an actual C-HR?

Impressive! Best of luck with this, as it appears quite technical and may require an expert to resolve.

Additionally, here is the video.

I will attempt it and provide you with updates.

From the bottom of the engine? Is it only when the temperature is warm?

I have not yet inspected it; I need to elevate it up the ramp for examination. However, it is likely that this would produce a rattling noise at startup, correct? Is it not when the engine is warm?

I am seeking assistance from anyone who can provide help. I possess a 2006 E90 M47 that produces a ticking noise when the vehicle reaches optimal temperatures. A few months ago, I operated my vehicle with low oil pressure, and a friend suggested that I might have caused low-end knock. However, after changing the oil and filter, we did not observe any metallic particles in the filter. Additionally, we placed four strong magnets underneath the oil during drainage and found no metal shavings. The ticking noise did not entirely correlate with the engine revs, leading us to conclude that it was due to chain slap. The vehicle just underwent maintenance, including the replacement of the timing chain, tensioner, water pump, steering pump, auxiliary belt, and all gaskets, approximately two weeks ago at a mileage of 165,000. However, the noise persists. We have also eliminated lifter tick, as it is only audible from the bottom of the engine, predominantly on the driver's side, and cannot be detected with the hood open. I have included a link to my YouTube video at the end of this post. Thank you for your assistance; I recently spent £2,000 to eliminate this sound and was informed by the garage that it was chain slap, which is quite frustrating. To be fair, the car drives well and accelerates smoothly, but I detest this noise. The most accurate description of the ticking sound is that, while idling, it produces a characteristic diesel tractor "duhduhduh" noise, with the ticking occurring in varying rhythms such as "tick.......tick tick......tick tick tick tick.............tick." However, upon revving the engine, the ticking sound synchronises with the vehicle's operation.
