Only the obvious.. Charging outside in the rain. If you want to avoid charge in the dry. IMO it shouldn't happen regardless.. The car should be able to cope with charging at outside stations in all conditions. MB aren't likely to do a recall and are hoping that the problem won't occur too often...

Picked up the car from the dealers, water ingress problem with the high voltage cables in the end. All replaced. I've also ended up in emode due to lack of fuel when I thought there was a reasonable range left in the car. I'll try the sports mode trick next time.

Brief update on mine, took to the dealers yesterday, now in bits with the rear end dismantled, they haven,t confirmed, although it looks like it's the water ingress problem.

The hold facility on the brake pedal isn't that easy to activate, I find I have to release pressure and reapply fairly quickly to activate, sometimes resulting in the car jolting forward. The VW system is better where it apples the auto hold, automatically on application of the brakes once the...

Had mine for a couple of months now and it's developed a strange intermttent fault. The car had completely failed on two occasions leaving me stranded until I switch off open and close the drivers door and restart. The engine management light stays on for a while then goes out. Seems to be when...

LB set the tone and waved the way for the subsequent responses in this thread by his response in post 18. Stating that the op was bitching about the issue.. Along with the general tone of the response which was some what berating. A timely reminder that "the meaning of the communication is...

As said, it's not about ulcers, but principles and agreements. If you enjoy being a walkover and receiving a second rate service then fine, carry on. A dealer with the attitude that we can't give you what you want, but we can sell you anything we want, stinks. I personally would ream them a new...

Clonk.. Bloody predictive text..

What were the signs and symptoms mm? Mine has a bit of a clock happening every time I pull away, even at a nuns pace, anyone else got this?

35mpg mixed driving at normal road speeds, haven't got it in me to drive like a nun, life's too short. Could do with finding another 5 mpg to match the old golf gtd. Mind you that was driven like I stole it..

Got mine today, PP saloon in brilliant blue, all options except smelly 360 and 18s. Nearly stuffed it into a roundabout fiddling with the settings, lucky it's got big brakes lol. HUD pretty good once I adjusted its height, burmeister sound system is great, fuel consumption ****e, but we know...

Totally with you... Had a plug in Volvo for a while last year, the straight diseasal version was better overall for mileage returns. It's a shame the battery pack doesn't slide out the 350 for long runs as they do seem a little pointless at times. Anyone wanting the best economy needs to look...

Doesn't inspire confidence, mines being delivered on 1st April, interested to see how long it lasts.. Lucky my project car is nearly running.. Use it as back up, not green but..hey.. needs must lol

Mines all ready now, unfortunately I missed the call today to arrange date and time for delivery, will call first thing tomorrow..

@noobmonkey.. I too am swapping from a GTD to the 350. I can remember vividly when the golf first arrived I was ready to burn it out or drive it into the nearest river. This was due to the frustrations in getting the various electronic gadgets to do what I wanted them to do at the time I wanted...

Looks like everything is finally sorted, amended contract, with government grant included done. Connect me will be connected and outside temperature display will be displayed. Awaiting phone call from MB to arrange delivery date. 8 months in total, heyho.. Must admit lost a bit of interest...

..

I know of one delivered, connected.

32amp type 2 tethered for me.

Another for the DS. My other half has a Fabia 2 Monte Carlo Tech and loves it, the neighbour prefers it to her 500. Worth considering one of the last mk 2's or a new mk 3.
