    I have a 2017 Dodge Challenger and I do not understand this reset with the acceleration pedal method. I did see the correction comment for the "On" and not run the motor when the pedal is pressed down. I get that. Though is "On" actually "Run" without the engine running? There's only three modes to my Challenger; "Off", "Acc", and "Run." But what do you mean by the "tachometer sweeps once"? Nothing happened to my tachometer when I followed these steps. What am I missing?

    Most tyre manufacturers claim that you should always put your best tyres on the rear so isn't it best to wear out the front tyres and then rotate rears tyres to the front and put 2 new tyres at the back? Assuming the tracking is fine and the front tyres are wearing evenly I can't see how rotating tyres more often would save any money unless you get a discount for buying 4 tyres at once let alone the need for jacking up both sides of the car every 5,000 miles or so.

( this car is not sold in america) It got a start-stop system. And at every stopping light i use it. Only not in heavy traffic with allot of stop and go, that i turn the system off. And the bmw dealership where i bought it told me that it needs oil changes every 18000 kilometers or 2 years (normaly it’s 10.000 or 1 year). They said it’s normal for this car.

      zulke motoren worden alleen maar gemaakt om emissie-eisen van de eu en tegelijkertijd bespaart het wat gewicht en wegenbelasting. Goed zijn zulke motoren niet: uit een kleine motor wordt dmv een turbo het benodigde vermogen geperst om al dat gewicht vlot te verplaatsen. Het lijdt enorm hiervan. Ik zou in ieder geval de olieverversingen halveren! Dus 10.000 km max. Vooral omdat je een turbo hebt, de smering is ontzettend belangrijk en de olie wordt pikzwart en verliest veel eigenschappen. De olie gaat ook nog door zeer nauwe ruimtes en door het te verversen inclusief filter haal je veel verontreiniging er uit.

  • @gop4usa12
    @gop4usa12 2 дня назад

    Everything in this video is why it's foolish for automakers to build turbo engines for fuel savings. If having a 1.5L turbo gives you an extra 2-3 mpg's, what do you really gain if you have to idle the engine to warm it up and cool it down, spend more for higher octane gas, and change the oil more frequently? Having a turbo engine only makes sense if you're using it for high performance. Turbos make zero sense when used to compensate for tiny underpowered engines.

  • @synthwave7
    @synthwave7 3 дня назад

    Almost all cars with a smell I had was this : The airconditioner is used and when stopping the vehicle the cold air in the AC pipes condenses in the hot engine bay - this causes "mold" in the AC pipes - if the car is started without the AC being on, it then smells like rotten eggs. Products do exist to fix this.
