We received our brand new S on the 3rd.
Straight away, when i got back home, i knew of a couple of problems. The front number plate was cracked, numerous creaks and rattles inside the car and a chip on the bonnet. The chip wasn't a stone chip, due it being on a rear facing edge of the bonnet. Unfortunately i picked the car up in the snow, so i never seen the plate and chip.
5 days later when i managed to give the car a good wax, i found this...
Ontop of this(i'm MOST upset about that issue, as that is definately human error!), i now have the loud ticking noise from the engine that goes away once warmed up, when selecting certain gears there is a snick and now rushing water behind the dash.
I know mechanical problems can be fixed, but paintwork will always never be right....repainted or not, i shouldn't have to accept this. The whole thing is making me feel worse due to the amount of "common faults" appearing.
I'm going into the dealers today, to pick up the new front number plate and tell them about the 2 new problems....gearbox and water noise.
I'm still yet to find out what happens IF i let them repair the bodywork and i'm not happy with the outcome. The service manager was ment to call me about that, but funnily enough, he never did.
Anyone had similar problems with the bodywork, or the amount of problems i have?
