My car has just reached 28 months (8 more months of warranty cover) and a couple of small (I hope) issues have emerged.
1. About 6 months ago, I noticed that very occasionally the ambient temp would indicate 10 degrees C for some time after start up. Recently the problem has started to occur more regularly. This morning it remained that way for about 15 minutes, before rectifying itself and showing real temp - about 32 degrees C. The problem is that the air conditioning will not kick in and I was boiling. Shutting the car down and restarting had no effect. I photographed the display screen to prove that the problem exists.
2. My rear window demister does not work. The dealer had one look at it and reported that it was ok, I just needed to allow more time. When pressed, he advised that they had checked to get 12V at the supply terminals. I asked whether anyone did a continuity test for the demister element - no. Did anyone use a thermal gun to check temps - no.
The dealer is having the car for another round tomorrow.
Has anyone else had these issues?
