Buying a used 2024 PHEV - 100% battery showing 27km range ?

Test driving this morning a 2024 Escape PHEV in Canada. Getting in the car and seeing 99% charge and 27km range.

Is this normal post recall update ?

Whats going on ? How can I verify everything is ok?

25 000km car, looking like new.

Thanks

Just patch with extra liner and vinyle glue? Should I empty and drt it before to make sure it sticks good?

Hi everyone,

Spring is slowly taking over here in QC. The ice is almost gone, but my pool water level is drastically low, down almost 1.5ft since I closed it in the fall.

I tried filling it up with the hose to prevent the liner from shrinking or collapsing. The level rises a couple of inches, but as soon as I stop filling, it rapidly drains back down to the exact same spot and stays there.

The water line is currently way below the skimmer, returns, light, and stairs. It seems to stabilize right around a seam in the liner, so I'm assuming there's a major hole or tear there.

I'm getting desperate because there are only a few inches of water left in the shallow end and I don't want to cause further damage.

A few questions:

  • Is there an easy way to pinpoint the exact location of the hole?
  • If it is a seam failure, what is the best way to patch it? Will a liquid sealant work, or do I need something else?
  • What should I do in the meantime to protect the pool while the water is this low?

Thanks for any advice.

Bonjour,

Je cherche activement un mécano indépendant (freelance) dans la ville de Québec spécialisé en moteur diesel TDI qui pourrait me rendre des services à domicile. Je dois changer timing belt + pompe à eau et j'aimerais avoir un avis externe.

J'apprécierais vos références de confiance, merci!
