Hi everyone,
This is rather unlikely topic, but we have never talked about GenF problems.

My car has just turned 3yo and the I have observed the following:
- engine makes the car feel juttery when driving at low to mid speed when cold
- either the prop shaft or the diff makes a terrible whining noise (not at all times)
- after a longer while of driving I get a message on the dash that says somethingn along the lines of “side spotting system unavailable”. It basically deactivates the blind spot warning in the mirrors, but 10minutes later comes back on.


I will have all of the above looked at next service next month.

Has anyone else had any issues with their GenF?

Thanks
Bart

No denying, the car has not seen a wash for over a month, perhaps longer so the sensors going silly could be related.

As for the diff, mine is just whinning at speed, or at least that is when it is most audible (from 50mph to 77mph). I used to think that has always done that, but perhaps not...

Hi,
It seems that the side warning system is getting progressively worse. It now tends to switch off reverse sensors too which is not great.

As for the diff, I will have it looked at during next service.
