Mt new A500 is still sitting on the drive with 80 miles on the clock, as having to nurse my chipped ankle. More information from hospital tomorrow as to progress, as can't wait to get back on the road:bang:
On my 45 mile drive home from dealership and getting accustomed to everything, I did notice that on acceleration, particularly in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd a fluttering noise from the engine. When got home I listened to engine ticking over and I could hear a 'tappety' type noise. I phoned the dealer and spoke to salesperson who dealt with me and he advised it was a characteristic if the car. However he would get service manager to call me to discuss.
When he called I explained in detail and was advised it was Ok as the noise was from the injectors which is usual for this model car. He also stated that if there was a problem with engine the management system would show fault.
Am I being fobbed off here or is there some truth in what they are saying
