  1. You have not provided the kilometres travelled, the state in which it has been maintained (history), the type of engine oil used, or the distance between oil and filter changes, which are necessary for making assessments of its potential condition. I trust you will find this beneficial.
  2. Compressed air can also be utilised on a regulator, through the spark plug port, to elevate the valves, typically for the purpose of replacing the valve stems. Similar to the apparatus employed for leak-down compression testing, this method is superior as it pinpoint the source of the problem. A compression test will just indicate the presence of an issue, which I believe you may be referencing with 'pressure tests'. YouTube features films comparing 'compression tests and leak-down compression tests,' regardless of the engine type, if this piques your curiosity.
  3. The PCV valve may malfunction, and the baffles in the valve cover may become obstructed, allowing excessive oil to enter the air intake system as an additional potential cause. This may occur when fragments of a wet belt induce a failure mode, albeit it is not the sole cause of failure. This would be a more economical component to inspect or replace, and the aforementioned test would not detect this issue. The PCV valve is typically integrated into the valve cover and may be serviceable; one can either clean the baffles or replace the entire valve cover, which includes the valve. Examine the intake at the MAP sensor for excessive oil, or trace the smaller pipe (about 17-19mm ID) that connects the valve cover to the air intake and inspect the source. The PCV system manages blow-by gases in the engine, and while all engines possess a mechanism for this management, it is particularly crucial in turbocharged engines, which generate greater blow-by compared to natively aspirated engines. The mechanisms employed for regulation include Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV), and Open Crankcase Ventilation (OCV), the latter of which is virtually obsolete under emission regulations, thus applicable only to vehicles manufactured prior to the 1970s or utilised in racing or off-road contexts where emission standards are not enforced. PCV and CCV appear to be identical systems; however, the primary distinction in CCV is that the ECU must consider all the air. Your vehicle is equipped with a PCV control system, but only Peugeot diesel models utilise a CCV control system. The majority of diesel engines utilise CCV; however, certain models, such as Cummins, employ PCV control. On these engines, it is possible to install BOVs on the turbo without causing the ECU to malfunction, including stalling the engine due to unmonitored air. While BOVs are not essential for diesel engines, some enthusiasts appreciate the sound they produce.
  4. I would not have spent £4,500 for the white one, nor almost £6,000 for the red one. Additionally, I possessed another red one in Zinnober red, a convertible in dazzling red, and a black one as well.
  5. Why engage in it when a lowering module is available? Upon doing a Google search, I discovered that it is possible to alter each axle independently, which may be beneficial.
  6. Indeed, it is diesel. I have submitted a support request to Bimmerlink and am awaiting a response. Salutations
  7. It was not my screenshot; it was merely an example of another individual's. I am still unable to locate it. I will review it again later. My AuDHD is not beneficial to me either. 👍 Thank you for your responses.
  8. I am experiencing an identical issue to previous post, and they are utilising it. They also indicate that they are not receiving a cell. Experiencing rough, juddering acceleration when cold, especially in recent warm weather, raising uncertainty regarding the glow plug or similar components.
  9. Hello, I have observed individuals claiming that BimmerLink possesses a misfire detection feature; yet, I am unable to locate it. Is this functionality exclusive to specific models? Alternatively, a guide to locate it. Thank you
  10. It is the national option; any dealer may be used. My version is the X model, priced at £899 (if someone is willing to sell it to me!). You are fortunate to have obtained one. Which dealer did you use and how long ago was that? I may contact them!
  11. National strategy and dealer plan for Mazda UK. However, the dealerships seem to decline selling the Mazda UK plan, probably due to financial unviability. I have tried four times, without success. I will not pursue acquiring one unless someone can provide me with the contact information of a dealer willing to sell it. Mazda UK has shown a semblance of care but asserts that they are unable to offer me the plan (why?). I am sceptical that I will get any more communication from them. They attempted to dissociate themselves from the dealerships throughout our conversation. Perhaps this explains why my closest dealership will soon cease selling Mazdas. I anticipate writing a letter if Mazda UK does not respond to me. It is a misrepresentation on their side to display such service plan costs on their website.
  12. I agree, but why would the dealer from whom I purchased it refrain from offering me a plan?
  13. I reside in the United Kingdom. I purchased a brand new CX30 earlier this week. The dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle was not local and advised that it would be more advantageous to get a service plan from my local Mazda dealer, since servicing must be conducted at the dealership where the plan was purchased. The plan is priced at £899; nevertheless, a local dealer offered me £1064, citing that the cost exceeds the £899 shown on Mazda's website due to my failure to purchase the plan at the time of sale. The current cost of separate services at the same dealer is £1172. I contacted Mazda UK, however the representative I dealt with was quite inexperienced and would consult with colleagues before responding to me. She said that it is a nationwide service package, allowing servicing at any dealer regardless of the purchase location. Is it accurate that one must purchase the service plan from the dealership where the vehicle will be serviced? Is the attempted exploitation regarding service plans commonplace?
