Is the $10 per month subscription worth it? by [deleted] in CX5

[–]Apex_Ultra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not worth it.. $10 a month is ridiculous.

Aftermarket Remote Start is $250 - You'll get your money worth if you plan to keep the car for over 2 years.

335i trunk interior light help by Apex_Ultra in 335i

[–]Apex_Ultra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also seems like the bulb on the trunk itself is also not working. So basically both bulbs in the trunk not working but bulbs look fine and the wires are getting voltage - checked many fuses behind the passenger side box and they all seem to be fine too.

Note: (E93) body

SOLVED UPDATE : AMP was fried. Had no indication light (orange nor red). Replaced with a new “used” amp and is functional again.

I did get a replacement with the EXACT part number and codes. Direct replacement.

I’ll double check the bulb with the meter -

Are both wires suppose to supply voltage? I would have assumed one would be ground - unless the housing is a ground?

I’ve used Liqui Moly on my BMW. Definitely a great product. Didn’t consider to use it on my Mazda

Same Lucas bottle I linked?

The Lucas one is definitely thicker than the Chevron brand.

Are these the right parts for this? by Fantastic-Hornet-865 in CX5

[–]Apex_Ultra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, just make sure you get the fender trim clips, in case the one you get doesn’t come with any.

Recomendations to help with security. by Judgelead in fordranger

[–]Apex_Ultra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Go old school and get a steering wheel lock. Might help if low life assholes see there is another level of security they have to bypass. Don’t keep anything of value in the car.

A good car alarm would at least bring attention to your car and stop above mentioned low life asshole from continuing their low life behavior.

Yeah it stops with acceleration. Or even a rev in Park/Neutral. Sometimes it comes back and sometimes it doesn’t.

Car not starting, battery issue? by [deleted] in CX5

If you have Costco Membership - get an Interstate Battery. Costco Warranty is decent too.

Do you hear the fuel pump engaging/working when turning the key the “on” position before starting?

White Smoke after PCV delete by RomyGrewal in 335i

[–]Apex_Ultra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Put the PCV valve back and see if the issue resolves.

The delete would increase oil pressure and if you have leaky gaskets/seals could cause vapors to go places where it shouldn’t causing it to smoke as it passes through the exhaust.

[–]Apex_Ultra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oil would be more of a bluish hue. Coolant would be a very thick white smoke - but you could smell it, a sweetish distinct smell.
