On early units first gear engages late. In most cases a software update solved it, but some also needed a new valve body.

Show the rest

The oil in this gearbox dirties quickly, which makes shifting jerky, so an oil change every 30,000 kilometres is recommended. The differential is a weak point too: it tolerates prolonged wheelspin badly.

What to check

  • Pull away from a standstill several times: first gear must not engage late
  • Rolling slowly, shift up and down: the change must not jerk
  • Ask for the oil change invoices: here it is recommended every 30,000 kilometres

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
