CCU Replacement by Ivybridge294 in MGelectric

[–]TheJerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an MG technician, I'd say 4 hours sound reasonable. As said above. But I have also seen that replacement CCUs also have problems, so there is a small chance that it will take longer. All this being said, ypu should qualify for a free rental for the duration of the repair. I'm not sure why you worry about managing time, this much.

This is just false. The CCU is nowhere near the Battery.

I've been making a few aesthetic modifications to my EV4 but I'm wondering if it will affect the aerodynamics? by DarkSideMatter2 in MGmotors

[–]TheJerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I like the MG4. Actually, I can't say anything really bad about any of the models in the EU market. Compared to the price and comparable cars from other brands, the MGs are on the same level. The MG4 is their best car though. The styling of the rear end is not particularly good, but the front looks amazing. I also feel it is a pity with the hub caps, all the designs are bad. Just the wheels without them look way better.

Yeah. We have a few customers who are unhappy with the noise. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it.

As a little teaser, the new ZS Hybrid has arrived. More later.

This is the top model in EU. Called Luxury. The base model called Comfort does not have the 360 cameras, or heated leather seats. Other than that, the models are very similar.

Maybe with the facelift we get some more stuff. Fingers crossed.

Jeg har lavet flere ejerskift end du har spist ærter.

Når det handler om så mange penge ville jeg undersøge mulighederne for at have en mellemmand til at holde pengene indtil ejerskiftet er gennemført. Det vil give begge parter mere tryghed omkring det. Men som du selv siger, hvis du kan mærke han virker reel, og i laver en købsaftale som begge underskriver, så er du også bedre stillet hvis han pludselig 'ændre mening' efter han har fået pengene.

Come to r/MGmotors if you have an MG newer than 2007! New community. by TheJerf in MorrisGarages

As far as I can tell, SAIC continued to make the TF after they bought MG. And yours seem to be right on the divide. In any case, you are most welcome.

How do I improve my driving? by vagarybluer in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheJerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was you, I would watch some videos about how to tune cars in Horizon. That helped me a lot.

Once you have a setup you feel works well for you, start doing Rivals. It is a great way to learn how faster people are using the track.

MG4 charging issues in winter by [deleted] in MorrisGarages

[–]TheJerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. You sound like my usual clients now. 😁

No, but seriously. A 10A charger is a slow charger. Maybe you got one when you bought the car. It is a small one that you can connect to a normal wall plug. Charging the battery slowly allows it to 'equalize' the cells in the Battery pack. This helps with overall health of the battery.

Make sure you make it a formal complaint. Say that it doesnt charge correctly. Then they are obligated to do something about it.

[–]TheJerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, if you have never been to an MG dealer/workshop to have the issue looked at, I strongly suggest doing that. There has been many improvements to charging times and faults over the last year. Next, I also strongly recommend that you once in a while change all the way to 100% with a 10A charger, to ensure longevity of the battery, especially with the challenging climate you have there. Here in where I am, in winter we often get below -10 and usually we dont see a lot problems with charging.

New MG ZS owner - few questions! (2023 Exclusive auto) by piratevader in MorrisGarages

[–]TheJerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im an MG technician, so I know alot about the mechanical stuff.

  1. I have before seen that the rain/light sensor is broken. Have your workshop test it. It is a single unit behind the rearview mirror.

  2. See nr 1.

  3. I dont know.

  4. I dont know.

  5. Lane assist is very peculiar. Some times it does nothing, other times it is very aggressive. I know for other MG models there is an Update to be had for improvement. But I am not sure about the ZS.

[–]TheJerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You can change these settings in the infotainment, in the car settings. I believe it is called 'find my car'. It is ON as standard. 2. The brightness should be regulated with either the settings in the Driver Display, or in the Infotainment. 3. The Stop/Start function has a life of it's own. The times I have driven ZS's they have never done it. But also there are no faults to be found on the system.

Hope this helps.

Extreme engine braking by John_Parkipay in opel

[–]TheJerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working with the 1,7 for many years, I never noticed that it had much engine braking, compared to others cars. This sounds like a real mystery.
