There was a recall on some models related to the active curve assist. My car was apparently OK but it later failed, and I had to repair at my own cost. I’d take it to the dealer to have it checked.
Ok thanks for the reply, was it costly ?
If I remember right the repair for mine was more than £900 but less than £1000.
I forget the details now but the recall was due to the fluid foaming and the extra volume cause it to leak through breather holes. That overspill then caused a fire risk.I’ve never had cause to look at the system, but it does beg the question of where the fluid has gone?
There is no fluid or leaks on the garage floor at all cars been sat for few months, drives perfect just a strange one taking the garage to investigate, thanks for the advice
I know seems to be no leaks or fluid on the floor been sat for few months maybe electrical fault you know what cars are like these days with the electrics… taking the garage to investigate, thanks for your helpI’ve never had cause to look at the system, but it does beg the question of where the fluid has gone?
There will always be a diagnostic fee. It may vary a little between dealerships. MB independents will generally be charging less.
Absolutely. Garages have always charged a "diagnostic fee", even before OBD ports and CANbus.
I’ll be honest those quiet wobble sprockets were a blooming nightmare. They were always failing, either becoming noisy, starting to run true, or both. Either way it seemed like I was at the motorfactor every Saturday morning buying wobble sprockets, Simoniz Wash’n’ Wax, chamois leather and a fresh Feiu Orange.
After trying the stereos out on display at Halfords?
I remember being dazzled by the array of head units and speakers on display, high in the intense smell of bike tyre rubber!After trying the stereos out on display at Halfords?
Ah, but decent wobble sprockets are dynamically balanced to ensure smooth running. Your motor factors must have been selling you inferior statically balanced items.
Definitely try the fluid first. Add in a good glug and then redip the cap in and out to check for the cold temp level. There are two markings, one with a lower temp abd one with higer (cant remever the temps themselves). Top it up when the car isnt runnung to the marker of the colder temp marker. Keep us posted. Bound tl be worth £15 for 1 litre of fluid to try...
It may be worth finding an independent specialist or two and getting some quotes for the repair.
