Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, I was losing power and kept getting a message telling me 'Engine System' Service Required. I was told not to worry about by the service manager. At the 3000 mile QC service I was told that mice had chewed a pipe connected to the Turbo and charges £126.54 to fix it. I employed professional pest control people who told me that under no circumstances would a mouse have done this damage. Has anyone else experienced this?
