I took my 150 t32 into the dealership a couple of weeks ago to look at my front assist being ‘not available’ and the fact that the van had cut out a few times when changing down - two of the 3 times on a roundabout! The first time it cut out I’d only had the van a few days, so I assumed I’d stalled it, but I was much more careful / aware on the next two occasions and I definitely didn’t stall it.
The initial response from the dealership was that the two were related, but I asked to speak to the mechanic who had carried out the repair work and he said that a clip had been broken on the front sensor, and that had caused the failure of the front assist, as it was out of alignment.
He then went on to say that he’d not had any vans been brought in with the cut out issue, or knew of a known fault with them. The van had also been taken on a 76 mile round trip into central London to carry out the work on the front assist, and no issues had been noted.
I explained I was anxious as I’ve got my van booked in to get some work done (heater/leisure battery/carpeting/mains hookup/insulation etc) and I was worried I’d bought a lemon and was about to waste a load of money...
He assured me that he’d not heard of the issue, or seen vans come in with the cut out fault... he seemed genuine, maybe difficult to judge I grant you, but he did seem genuine.
Since the van has come back, I’ve had no issues, so whether or not he had fixed an issue that he didn’t tell me about, or he was being genuine, and it actually had been my driving style, I don’t know... but for now, I’m ok... I’ll report back if that changes...
Sorry, a long way of saying ... not sure yet!?!
