Re: Clutch Sliping after 11k

Maybe it's not the clutch slipping, but just sounds like it. This thread may shine some light on it.

Re: cx3 break in period

Can't comment on the fuel as I don't really take a lot of notice, but certainly the performance has improved. I'm enjoying driving it a lot more now.

Re: premium v regular unleaded

Sorry folks, if we (foolishly) fill up with Morrisons petrol, our CX-3 definitely struggles with torque (especially when ascending an incline in 5th or 6th without us changing down a notch) and the acceleration, the engine grunt & the smoothness is, well, noticeably poor (basically). Conversely...

Re: Big CX-3

Hi Anchorman, I guess this means you will be leaving us on this forum to spend time in the fast lane on the CX-5 forum. :(

Re: Sat Nav - Plotting a route with way points

I have to agree the in car sat nav leaves a lot to be desired. My Garmin is soooo much better. The traffic information is far better, you don't have to have a route planned and it still shows you the trouble ahead. The satellite speedo is far more accurate than the car speedo and allows you to contr...

Re: Noise!

Can't say I've really noticed the issue. Then again my music is normally turned up Unfortunately Zoylander doesn't have a Bose system with a massive sub-woofer hidden in the boot. Although our 18 inch tyres should, in theory, be noisier than Zoylanders 16 inch, we do have the means of counteracting...

:( Oh dear, maybe I shouldn't have looked, but thanks anyway.
"the TSB's" ???
As Gus said 'Technical Service Bulletin'. It was the evaporator one that I saw and my VIN Number was included.
