  1. If I recall correctly, the official legal towing capacity for a first-generation C-HR hybrid is merely 750 kg. It should have solely been towing a modest trailer or a bicycle carrier.
  2. The E-CVT employed in a Toyota hybrid is fundamentally robust owing to its mechanical simplicity. I have not encountered a single instance of failure, despite the existence of millions, many of which are utilised for extensive taxi travel. The E-CVT is a mechanical epicyclic gearbox devoid of friction components that could contaminate the oil.
  3. The likelihood of marrying Drew Barrymore is less than that of a Toyota hybrid E-CVT malfunctioning.

  5. Refer to post #38 in this thread for the link.

  7. This pertains to an SLK, however the same ideas are applicable.
  8. This is a well recognized issue with these vehicles. There are two coils, each activating two cylinders/plugs. They are situated behind the plate above the cylinder head cam cover. It is secured by three or four Allen/Torx-headed bolts. It is necessary to detach the cross engine intake pipe. Upon removal of the plate, the plug leads and coils will be clearly visible. Any of the components may be defective, including the low voltage wire from the engine ECU, which often fails due to elevated temperatures from the engine. Numerous postings and images about the subject are available here; it is advantageous to peruse them.
  9. Gasoline or diesel fuel. What is occurring with the engine?
  10. Indeed, based on my experience, they will replace the oil and filter, as well as inspect for hidden nails or screws in the tires. There, you may have discovered a reputable Kia dealership. Best of luck
  11. Perhaps. Provide the service history.
  12. Be aware that he is likely occupied and earns a livelihood by working on R8s.
  13. If your seat is positioned beyond the midpoint, the "normal" option may not allow for additional rearward adjustment. Consider adjusting to the "extended setting" to see if it shifts farther back.

    Alert

    My device provides a notification when it is ready. I own a garage door of the slam kind, and if I shut it with excessive force, it activates the alarm. That then provokes the dog, which subsequently provokes every other dog. When I am able to recall, I proceed to shut the door and then secure the automobile. Apologies if you happen to be one of my neighbours.
  15. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, that's quite unfortunate. Undoubtedly, the value of your resale and trade-in is more than that. Hopefully, someone with more expertise on the recall can provide you with assistance.
