MG ZS
The small SUV that carries the brand in Europe, and the one MG most people will meet. It is sold with three completely different powertrains under one name — a naturally aspirated petrol, a full hybrid, and a battery electric — and which one a car has decides whether most of the generic corpus applies to it at all. The electric shares nothing with the petrol beyond the body: no fuel trim, no misfire monitors, no catalyst. Check the powertrain before reading a code list.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
