Made with Love for Cars
In this article, I will try to systematize all the information about the 2024 Kuga which is about to get a good facelift and add some features. It’s still the third-generation SUV offered as Kuga in Europe and Escape in the US. I will obviously focus on the UK and European versions. So, the new […]
I’ve seen hundreds of forum threads and even blog articles from super experts explaining that the “car with spanner” warning light in Vauxhall vehicles is the service-soon reminder. They say it reminds you about an oil change or something. But it’s not completely true! You should be careful with this. While the “car with spanner” […]
For the 4-cylinder turbo engines (mainly represented now with the 1.5 TSI), Volkswagen introduced its Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) about a decade ago. This is the technology that turns off or on two of the cylinders depending on the engine load at a certain moment. The ACT system does have problems and makes the engine […]
When Vauxhall went under Peugeot’s control, things became much worse than before. Now, you get a bunch of warnings that you can barely understand and some of them keep getting on your nerves especially seriously. Vauxhall AdBlue reset has become one of the major questions to mechanics, and in this article, I’m going to give […]
If your Toyota Proace shows the “Engine Fault, Repair Needed” message, it most likely has the Peugeot diesel engine (1.5 or 2.0) and has issues with its emission system. But the problem can also be with the dead or dying battery, several engine sensors, and also some other hard-to-catch problems. In this article, I will […]
Up until 2011, the Ford Fiesta in its cheaper trims was equipped with the legendary 1.25L engine. This is the Zetec SE series engine also called Duratec after branding changes in 2004. It powered the MK6 and MK7 Ford Fiesta with just a few changes during its production life (1995-2017 years). In this article, I […]
The Hyundai i30 is still one of the most popular compact cars in Europe and in the US. The vehicle is offered with several engine types but I will focus on the popular diesel option – the 1.6 CRDI. All i30 models starting with the first generation and up to the 2023 model year have […]
Some base-model Vauxhall cars have a pretty small display on the dash and GM used to shorten the error messages to codes in older vehicles. This is not really convenient for the driver as they need to look in the owner’s manual (which, let’s be honest, not all drivers have) and decode those annoying codes. […]
Being a proud owner of a Ranger Rover SUV, you expect to have a lot of fun while driving your marvelous car. But there are moments that you prefer to avoid – like observing a dreadful error message on the dash of your car saying “Restricted Performance”. When this happens, you can feel that the […]
The 1.7 diesel engine in the Vauxhall Astra is a legendary machine that changed several generations and still was a good choice up until the 2014 model year. In 2015, Vauxhall changed its range of engines due to emission control requirements and we can’t get this wonderful engine new now. But what do you know […]
