2017 Panda Cross 4x4 with about 48,000km on the clock and, I'm told, the thrust bearing shattered, damaging the bell-housing. Agent says this is so rare he's never heard of it before and was wondering if this is everyone's experience? The vehicle works hard on monthly 1,500km commutes with pretty bad roads - but they are roads. It's usually loaded with 100 liters of gasoline in the boot, but that gets progressively lighter as it's used up - because one thing is for sure, Panda's claim of 4l/100km is pure fiction. I average eight. Thanks in advance.
