Initial Issues / Problems
Hey guys, thought I'd bring this up as its bound to happen. Have had my car for a week now and although I love it to death, thought id give you some feedback to things which ive found might not be right;
1. Filling up petrol - have done three tanks in this car now, every single time I fill up im having the petrol spit out once it hits around 3/4 tank!? Literally 100ml of it all over my hand and the car. Really wierd. Is anybody else getting this? 2. Gears / Gearbox - Finding that 1st > 2nd and 3rd > 2nd is hard to engage. Has been like this since I left the dealership, however seems to be worse when its cold (especially with the way the weather's been here in Sydney) |
I've filled mine up twice now and no problems.
The gearbox is a little notchy and I have problems engaging 1st on cold startup (not everytime but I have noticed it). I've done 600km's now and the gearbox seems to be freeing up a little. |

I filled up yesterday. I thought it clicked early, then realised its only a 50L tank... thats going to suck, I hate filling up. But it didn't spit any fuel. Dunno if it matters, was BP ultimate fuel/pump.
|
What 50L ?! su
I filled up like 35L this morning with multiple clicks at a slow rate (after it spilled) when it was basically on absolute empty once I arrived. As for the gearbox, def needs to be adressed. |

Just in case, get the car checked. Someone already had their car towed to the dealer. Seems that it came from the factory with no transmission fluid. It shouldn't be a common thing, but why risk it.

It appears when the fuel dial shows empty you actually have 10L left. dealer said its normal.
Gearbox is a little annoying on 1 & 2 and its hard to flat shift. I checked it out and realised I had NO TRANSMISSION FLUID.. don't understand why, dealer said maybe they forgot so filled it up.. its ok now, done 1900km's on it so break in period is over for me :) |
No transmission fluid?! Thats ridiculous. By the way was it you I spotted today in Marrickville?
|
wow no fluid?!!?1?
How can I check mine!? :D |

Look forward to this!!! Thanks heaps. |
I had some small problem with first being difficult to engage at times. I have been double clutching when going to first and haven't had an issue since. And 1-2 shift is a small bit notchy but only when cold. Other than that no issue.
