T14086 the problems i have had are:
1. brakes sqeeling/grinding.
2. noisy fan.
3. plastic trim lifting.
4. water ingress.(tailgate)
5. rear demister not working.
6. rattling exhaust/slight blowing
DEALERSHIP RESPONSE;
1. known for a long time.(replace brake pads)
2. happens on every gp
3. same on every gp
4. design to do that
5. replacing whole back window
6. sounds like that because gp exhaust have a small hole for drainage.
I have had 3 new cars in the past; punto, polo and a c3.
Other than a recall on the c3, i have had no problems in the past.
Do you still think these are teething problems? or could this been down to
bad workmanship, or maybe a dealership fobbing me off?
Could you give me any answers to points; 2,3,4 and 6?
I have only done 285 miles. Hopefully this will be the end of the problems
but i wont hold my breath.
Would YOU BE HAPPY.
I await your reply.
1. brakes sqeeling/grinding - requires modified pads/spring kit.These are in demand but stocks are building up (lot of GP's sold!) and getting done as fast as possible.
2. noisy fan - personally not came across this but I understand a few others have.It might not be the fan as could be foreign object in housing or housing itself,fault needs to be confirmed.
3. plastic trim lifting - again reported by many other GP owners...simply get a new one from dealer.
4. water ingress.(tailgate) - again reported by other GP owners,how bad is it? is water leaking into car? There are drain holes in the tailgate.
5. rear demister not working - Not a known fault,is garage 100% sure this is fault?
6. rattling exhaust/slight blowing - Again no reports of this,but 188 punto also had this drain in silencer.
See its easy....we all help each another here and share information.If you get a chance write some of the things you like about the GP,might make you feel better
Would I be happy.......inconvient yes I agree but the above list is nothing to the endless list I got (still ongoing!) when I brought a focus!
