Main Bearing Housing Bore Caution For 1993- 2002 Ford/Mazda 2.5L VIN B & KL Engines
The AERA Technical Committee says there may be some confusion about how to properly determine the main bearing bore diameter on 1993-2002 Ford 2.5L VIN B and KL engines. This engine is made by Mazda and used in the Probe and 626 car models. It appears some previously published information may have been inaccurate. Many service specifications have listed a housing bore diameter .002˝ smaller than it should be.

Miata NB Oil Pressure Sender Replacement

The Mazda Miata is a very well balanced car and a good value on a per-smile basis, but the one thing that has bothered me since I bought the car is the fake oil pressure gauge. In a brilliant move which must save $0.50 per car, Mazda replaced the original Miata's oil pressure sender which was a real analog gauge with a nice digital idiot light type unit. To keep the gauge from looking odd with the needle pinned, they install the gauge needle so that it sits in the normal range when there is any amount of oil pressure in the engine. So there is two states to the gauge, "normal" where you have pressure, and "dead" where the gauge and your engine are both "dead". As has been stated elsewhere, this is the worst of all possible solutions. An idiot light would most likely catch your eye rather quickly. But this gauge which never moves is easily forgotten and when the needle does move, chances are it won't be noticed.

HID Kit Xenon Installation Instructions

The Chemical gases, most of which are xenon and iodides, are filled the quartz tube of the light. Through the ballast, then the voltage of 12V DC will be increased to 23KV immediately: the electrons of the xenon in the tube will be dissociated because of the voltage swing and thus an electrical arc happens between the two poles. Xenon light is power saving, safe and has long life, high luminance. In addition of the use of the UV-cut quartz tube, the light is crystal forever.

Location of Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic brake tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

Audi Climate Control LCD Rebuild Kit

Please read and become familiar with these instructions before performing the actual repair. The LCD panel is fragile and can be damaged if incorrectly installed. Installation is very simple and straightforward. Many color photos are included to ensure a trouble free installation. Place several paper towels on your work surface so as not to scratch the buttons on your climate control panel.
1) Remove controller from the center console
Gently pry wood trim fascia panel (A) from center console using a flat edge tool. A flathead screwdriver with an overlay of electrical tape will prevent any marring of surfaces. Remove the two Phillips head screws on left and right sides (B). Climate control center will slide out. Remove all four electrical connectors by simply pushing the tab in with your thumb and pulling the connector away from its socket. All four connectors are mechanically different to prevent mismatch upon assembly.
2) Taking your controller apart
Remove the three Phillips head screws from holding the front control panel to the controller housing. In this photo two screws can be seen at the top. The 3rd is on the bottom side. If you do not have the four turquoise lamp holders as seen in this photo, your controller is LED backlit. Rebuild is the same, but you will not need the lamps provided in this kit. If your controller is an early version with a white enclosure, please go to the appendix for updated information. Gently pull the front panel away from the housing to expose the LCD controller board and its ribbon connector.

Audi A6 C5 4.2L V8 5V BAS Secondary Air Injection Maintenance

The secondary air system is designed to enable catalytic converter to heat up and reach its operating temperature more quickly after a cold start.
Principle of operation
Due to extra mixture enrichment during cold-start phase, an increased amount of unburnt hydrocarbons is carried in exhaust gas. The secondary air system improves the afterburning (oxidation) process in the catalytic converter, and in this way reduces toxic emissions. Heat generated by oxidation accelerates "light off" of catalytic converter and significantly improves exhaust gas quality during warm-up.
