Car has been fitted with numerous turbochargers following engine fault indication on dashboard. Since new the manufacturer has been unable to rectify this recurring fault.
Car fitted with replacement turbocharger boost pressure sensors.
Dashboard speedometer (digital) no longer readable.
Excessive vibration from the engine at idle revs, despite all compression pressures being correct. This fault actually makes the car bounce on its suspension.
Areas of the car (supposedly chrome) are covered in surface rust.
Car required a new clutch at 30,000 miles.
Recurring turbocharger faults could not be corrected during warranty period. Manufacturer will no longer investigate this problem.
Have owned the car from new. it will be three years old in September 07.the original turbo was faulty from new. it is now on its third turbo and we are still having problems. also had problems with dashboard lights, rattles due to turbo replacement, new door locks and faulty electric windows. overall we are very dissatisfied with the car. we will be steering clear in future.
