Oh no apology needed at all, I wasn't disagreeing or anything. Just explaining why I went a different way with it. If I was one of the initial responders I would have suggested the same thing lol

Yeah, I mean that's what I would personally do. In fact, I usually put my backpack on the floor, behind the driver's seat. But OP asked for a solution to the chime, and stated multiple times that they prefer to have the backpack on the seat. So rather than suggest a solution that they've already...

This technology helps to alert you to when a passenger isn't wearing their seatbelt. It's for the safety of your passengers, and you are responsible for their safety as the operator/driver. I think in almost all US states (excluding New Hampshire) and all of Canada at least, seatbelts are...

First thing I would do if I had this suspicion is get a security camera or two installed, or a dashcam. Next, for further troubleshooting and to narrow down potential issues, if possible, have someone else drive the car while you record from the passenger seat or from outside, to show and...

IMO car wash brush washes are never good for any reason, even if your car just has a bit of salt on it. Regardless of how good the brushes are at whipping dirt and grit embedded fibers into your paint, they always tend to miss a spot or two. On most cars it tends to be in the license plate...

If you can run a fingernail over the scratch, and it catches, it's likely too deep to be polished out. However, if you have the tools and products available, or if you want to try polishing it out by hand, you could give that a try. Just be sure to read up on the process and watch a few YouTube...

Moved as requested (y)

I'm curious about this. It doesn't sound like anything that I, as a moderator, would delete or ban someone over. Usually we only resort to post deletions and warnings/bans if the discussion devolves into condescending language or personal insults, and spam of any kind. Even for stuff that's...

No worries - here's a link to the thread in the Lounge. @GFrosty @Lazy2.5

Moved from CX-9 subforum. I know with my CX-9, it idles quite low when warmed up, and with no other electronics engaged. Like 500-600 RPMs. When I turn on seat heaters, steering wheel heater, defroster or A/C, the engine idles a little higher. If it's sputtering, I would first check your...

Over here (Canada), I stick to Shell, and sometimes Co-Op or Costco. I know Domo and 7-11 gas isn't Top Tier certified, so I avoid fueling at those stations when possible. I was surprised to learn that Petro Canada is not Top Tier certified, while Tempo fuel is.

I think the snorkel/inlet is meant to reduce air turbulence and noise, in addition to pulling cooler air. I think I read in some of your other posts that you're aiming to pull warmer air to help with fuel economy?

Hey guys, just a reminder to keep the conversation civil. It's perfectly fine to disagree and debate on best practices and question recommendations given by other members - the discussion is how a lot of us learn and decide which approach to take. What's unnecessary is being condescending or...

If you guys would like, I could copy/move the related posts into a new thread in the Lounge so the discussion can continue? It's certainly an interesting topic.

Ouch, sorry to see that @Tland4. Been there, done that.. though in my case, there was plenty of fluid, but it was thick with grey and silver particles, and I had just as many metal chunks. Hope you can get this squared away without having to spend too much! Also, if you've lost rear wheel...

One more vote to check for rubbing. I had a scraping noise, turns out the brake shoe was slightly bent and making contact with the rotor intermittently. In your case, the sound is more like a grinding type of sound. If you can localize the sound to one side or corner of the car, perhaps by...

My only previous dashcam was a Viofo A129 Duo setup, which lasted me 7 years. Well worth it in my opinion - never skipped a beat until one of the internals died one day. The only thing I didn't like about it was file transfer. I didn't like the app and the wifi was slow, so I would bring the...
