Re: Enhancements for the 2025 Sportage

Oh, no, fuel. Because I lifted this wording directly from the vehicle description on the Motorpoint website, the auto parts retailer erred. To be honest, I had no idea what the 48v represented. Thank you for informing me; I will need to get in touch with them to get a fresh invoice.

Enhancements for the 2025 Sportage

Good morning. A 2025 Sportage 1.6T GDi 157 48V ISG 2 5dr replaced my 70 plate GT-line Sportage. The trade-in date was 25 plates. Surprisingly, the specs seem to be similar with the exception of the leather seats and the 29-inch alloy wheels, neither of which concern me.

I would say that they typically have a lifespan of around twenty years. As a matter of safety, Mercedes ones were being replaced at no cost, even if they don't.

Cars as young as ten years old require replacement front subframes due to Vauxhall's serious problem with front subframe rot, which ...

Re: Mini R56 from 2010 When it's chilly and locked in limp mode, one of them idles rough.

I appreciate you sharing that data. I will inspect the throttle body for damage, clean it, and attempt the adaption again once the weather warms up a bit. I last tried it a few weeks ago when it was chilly outside.

Mini R56 from 2010 When it's chilly and locked in limp mode, one of them idles rough.

Hi there,

The R56 Mini I acquired in 2010 Rough idling and limp mode are problems with one 1.6L. The engine oscillates between 900 and 1300 RPM for around 30 seconds to one minute when starting from a cold state before levelling off. Upon reviewing the codes, the following were revealed:
