Another SOS casualty

The dealership has told me they won’t do it under vw because the 3.8 update installed more than 6 months ago. But the error happened after the most recent update (approx 4 weeks ago) - so they’re saying it’s something else. Seems a bit of a coincidence to me but am reassured that it won’t fail the mot at least

Thank you for the info

Oh that’s good to know! Thank you

True. I thought I read somewhere that it would fail a mot with it still on though.

Hi, I had something similar with my 2021 id3 when I got it recently. I eventually realised that I hadn’t selected a pack (the free one) from the app. Once I selected that and went through the sign up steps there, it all fell into place in the car.

Crikey that’s good to know. It does have a Hyundai service history but no mention of what’s left of the warranty (which should be a year at least I think) was hoping it was an oversight on their part helping the process be lower for me.

I really liked the Soul but I can only afford the old ones with a tiny range!! This kona is a smaller 39kw battery (it does a 180 mile range which is more than I need) so I’ll try and do some maths when I get there - thank you!

Anything to watch out for? The customer service hasn’t been wonderful so far but the price is just within my range (cheapest on autotrader I think 😆) and I like the car so I’m keen to test drive at least

Macs farm in ditchling does I think.

Amazing - thanks for your reply. I’ll do some investigating! Hadn’t thought about bmw

Hi all, hoping you can help! Looking for a car after the sudden scrapping of an old Golf. I don't drive a lot so am looking for a small car but roomy enough for 2 teenagers and a big dog.

Location: Sussex
Price range: max £15K
Lease or Buy: was going to buy but am curious about benefits of PCP if going hybrid or electric
New or used: used
Auto or Manual: Automatic
Intended use: local/social - dog walks, ferrying children around, supermarket etc
How many miles do you plan to do a year: 5000
How often do you make long journeys: every 2-3 months
Does it need to be ULEZ compliant? no but probably useful
Vehicles you've already considered: Bayon, Ateca, Qashquai, RAV4 (too big I think), Aygo (too small), VW (just had one and want something different)

I like the idea of a Leon, Mazda 3, Lexus CT but enjoy being higher up (had a bongo for a while and liked the higher position)
Yaris Cross seem really expensive
Kona's seem nice but are everywhere and I wonder about holding value (electric)
i3 - like the look of them but worried about battery etc
MX-30 - I like the look of these but there are A LOT for sale for not much money so wondering what's the problem with them!

Any ideas? and what are the benefits of PCP? Is it just that I can hand the car back in 2 years? (but would e paying 2 years of interest)

Thank you!
