Re: Autohold problem

You might have to video it. I had to do this on a previous Mini. The fuel light would come on and the needle showed empty even though over half full. Faulty sensor.

Re: Black plastic "things" directly above the air vents on the dashboard.

Can’t you just close all the air vents, put the fan up high and hold a small strip of Kleenex if front of the ‘bit of plastic’. If the Kleenex moves, it’s an air vent and if it doesn’t, it’s not. Simples.

Re: Jacking points

I think Motor Manufactures take things like this into account. The car, although built in Belgium and part of a Chinese group know a thing or two about corrosion. Swedish winters ain’t exactly mild so I’m sure everything is sorted in that department.

Re: T4 FWD

There has been a few posts like this recently. I paid for a five year plan. A week later, a conformation email was received outlining the service schedule.

Hi

We opted for the 5 year plan. Only took about 5 days for confirmation email to come through.

Ah ok. Blue Nova, Red Cavalier, Red Golf, Blue Golf, Silver Golf, Gold Mini, Orange Mini - all had white primer. Are you sure your VW hadn’t had a re-spray and the white primer was underneath the black😛

Indescribable noise

Hi I have a noise. It doesn’t happen all the time but only when driving for 20 plus minutes. It disappears after a short while. It’s almost like some sort of venting is going on. I’ve only heard it when it’s quiet in the car (radio off, windows up etc). I’m going for the 3 month check after Christma...
