1. Not too worried as it is still much safer thean the Cinq :eek:
2. Yer I know its a common problem
3 sounds like the Blades catching on something but you only hear it on the lowest setting
4 only happens with the key if you open the drivers door quite often that is the only one that opens but lock it and open it again all doors open, sounds like a duff contact to me
5. it will work fine for a couple of weeks but then you turn it on and an it has lost everthing. reprogramme it and it's fine again for a few weeks
6. gone from mid 50's to low 40's
7. Fronts if it was out of warrenty I would have been at it with the copperslip by now
8. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Cheers mate,yeah been trawling through GP threads all day;)

Sounds like you need new modified brake pads at front,as for heater fan I have came across this with mk2 punto resulting in new motor.The radio losing memory I'm sure theres something about that.....damn this poor memory of mine :bang:
 
Well I have finally got off my butt thanks to boardem and booked the car in to get the niggly bits fixed

1. Saftey recall
2. Rear doors difficult to open
3. Heater blower very noisey on lowest setting
4. Central locking doesn't always open all doors when you use the key
5. Radio keeps loosing its memory
6. Fuel consumption getting steadily worse
7. Squeaking brakes
8. The bloody TURBO LAG

OK back from the garage with some bits fixed

1, fixed now a five star car
2, back doors now open so excuse for not taking the kids anymore
3, new motor on order
4, new gubbins ordered
5, new radio ordered
6, ECU updated (not convinced)
7, New pads fitted
8, See 7 (but no difference at all looks like I'll be paying out for a remap)
