New throaty sound when pedal is put to the floor
Hi all. 1.5 diesel, 2016. I've noticed a new throaty sound to the engine when I'm driving and accelerating. It doesn't appear to affect the performance but it's always a bit unnerving when I hear a new sound to the engine. It sounds like a boy racer hatchback . Any ideas what might cause it. I'd rat...

Re: Smart key not so smart

Re: screen washer jets. ONE WAY Value needed
Just cured my dribbling washer jets in half an hour. Similar to Gloucesters method but I didn't strip much down. I removed the 6 plastic clips that hold the plastic cowling together at the base of the wiper arms. Removed the 4 clips that hold the silver heat shield in place. I parted the plastic cow...

Re: Peeling off coating.
Yes, that's what I thought. Looks like some sort of chemical reaction. Due to the lack of response it would seem it's not a common problem. Might have to interrogate Mrs p.

Re: Peeling off coating.
Thanks for the in depth reply but I actually meant the plastic surface of the handle and window switch. It's like the thin top coating is lifting.Thanks.

Peeling off coating.
I've noticed that the plastic coating on my passenger door handle and window switch has started to peel off ( 2016 car). Is this a common problem? It looks like I'll have to replace the whole unit to sort it.

Re: My fuse box is missing !
Thanks for the info. The fuse is intact so it looks like the pump.

My fuse box is missing !
2016 1.5 n connecta. My screen washers spray stopped working. Filled the water bottle, still no spray. Couldn't hear the pump motor under the bonnet so it may be the fuse. Googled the location of the fuse box and all sites state it's behind the left hand side panel on the dash. Removed the cover tha...
