	  Cleaning wax off black plastic parts1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax Be very careful with those, the "Magic" in them is abrasive and will damage textured and gloss finishes. The Warning Label Melamine foam erasers work well; but on surfaces that are painted, polished or easily scratched, they might work a little too well. It's recommended to test the eraser on a small, preferably unnoticeable, portion of whatever you're looking to clean before you dive on in. https://www.wired.com/2015/09/whats-inside-mr-clean-magic-eraser/

	  Cleaning wax off black plastic parts1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax I've read that and tried it, and can confirm that it "works", but for a very short time - the oil just masks it for a little while. I've found a small firm brush with detergent or mineral spirits to be the most effective long term solution, followed up with frequent use of 303 UV Protectant

	  Transmission Flush, or simple drain and fill?1004ron replied to slides's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD) I'd recommend the same. I did multiple drain and fill just last week at 46K miles, and each drain was a fraction over 4 quarts. I used almost 12 - 13 quarts - last quart was used to top off and get level exact.

	Best price, and even better when on sale like Memorial Day, fast order processing and delivery. I recommend them.

	Thanks @omar302 I'll just install the new tires and take a chance with the existing TPMS sensors and valve stems. I've still got to find a local installer for the Aturro AZ850's that I bought a while back when they were on special with Simple Tire.
- 
	That's my experience with my 2017 Sport. I have another question, I'll be replacing my tires soon at 50K miles and 2 years 9 months - should I replace the sensors at that time, or at the next tire replacement around 100K miles 5.5 years? Google suggests the sensors are good for 5 to 10 years.

	I think non-interference engines are very scarce these days, .......... maybe a Tesla ?
- 
	That looks like it's road debris stone chip, which mine has a few. I frequently inspect and touch those up.
- 
	Thanks for the update.
- 
	What don't you like about the existing PTU threads?

	  Turn off engine lite1004ron replied to rickwhoo's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start You could use the app "Forscan Lite", or disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes to reset the stored error codes. If the light is sustained, then the repairs you did have not corrected the problem, or all the problems, that caused the light to come on. If the light comes on, and you correct the problem it will not longer stay on, although the error code will remain stored. BTW, this forum subsection is for "Forum Help & Site Suggestions" - you might attract more response if you PM'd a Moderator and asked them to move it.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC With the NA 1 15 the NAV voice prompts always cut off the end of the sentence, which is fixed with the latest update.

	We should consider the risk of an unsuspecting member trying such a daft idea.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Thanks. Saves me going to the owners manual this evening, because on the way home from work I realized that it's not something that will grow on me.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC This morning I used the Navigation for the first time going to work. 1) It routed me off the interstate at the next exit which is not the exit used previously - had the same happen previously with one of my Garmin updates, then a later update corrected that. 2) The map orientation on the screen is different - now the top of the screen is always North, whereas before it kept your route facing the top of the screen - something I might get accustomed to, but doubt it - when approaching a turn the orientation of the pop-up on the right of the screen is way different to the map which is compressed on the left, which looks really odd.

	Me, I don't gamble. If the oil light comes on, I stop the engine immediately until the problem is clearly identified and resolved - always trust the oil pressure instruments until proven wrong, and until then, don't run the engine.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC 60 or just over 60 minutes. Took a slow drive to the car wash and got back home and still had about 20 minutes to wait . During the process the "system updating" notice at the top of the screen disappeared, which got me worried that it had faulted, but good that I used a USB with an LED because I could see it still flashing.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC The instructions say exFAT - I tried both on the Mac and my Windows laptop couldn't read it, so created the USB with my Windows machine.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Did the download on my MacBook Pro, and the vehicle wont respond to the USB, put it in my old Windows laptop and it doesn't read it, which explains why the car wont. Going to try the whole process again with Windows. Edit: lesson learnt, use my Windows laptop for this type of thing. Its installed and map version went from NA 1 15 to NA 1 18 , and my street shows.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Downloading now, and see that they expect the engine to be running for the 60 minutes install duration.

	Welcome. There's a few differences, like the tacho, grill and lighting.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Thanks - I didn't scroll down that far, ..... just entered my VIN and Ser . Seeing as there was major road changes in and around my city in 2017, I'll skip this one, unless there was a reliable way of checking, ......... might take a look at a new model at the dealership in a couple of months.

	  SYNC3 Map Updates Available On Line1004ron replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Thanks for the heads up - a little pissed that I need to pay for my 2017 Sport. Would be good to know how "up to date" this release is, ....... hate to pay and find the maps are as outdated as they were when I purchased my Sport.
