Recently the coolant top up warning light has been coming during the cold mornings, it then goes away after. Decided to take car in the MB Aberdeen and they have advised they cannot see any leaks however upon checking the coolant it was significantly low. My car is due in for a service soon and they said they would top it up then and mix water and it should be fixed?
next thing whilst the car was in I was adviced i needed 4 new tyres. is this common to change 6 tyres in 16months, Ive done 12k miles since owning it. no track days or donuts done. I do take it through its paces as you do but mostly town driving and occassional country roads. It seems to be that the wear on all 6 tyres have been on the inside to the point of showing the metal and having a cut through each tyre like its been slashed!
i know these things eat tyres my concern is more whether it is an alignment issue or not?
what has your tyre wear been like on both front and rear?
and to add to my misery, the tech advised that i have an engine leak, and it would require taking the engine out and replacing a gasket on the lower crankcase? the car is still in warranty. they have advised it would take a week
anyone else had this problem? should i be worried?
