Hi guys,

Got the petrol 1.4 multiair. Official mpg says 49.5 combined. I am no where near that. Last week on a 200 mile drive on the motorway (fully loaded , through!), I got 44 mpg on average speed of 60. In town I am getting like 28- 32 mpg ,and I am not a turbo burner.

Any experiences to share?

I am pretty much close to city centre, I checked eurocarcare and they said they are not sure they can manage software to deal with service monitor lights. So, would be very happy if thr alpha guys are helpful.

Had similar issue on Delta, main Dealer in Nottingham kept saying it was the battery and needed to keep the car for overnight charge as they said start stop wont eork if the battery is not 100%charged which is not logic. Still never managed to get it working properly and ended up giving up on start stop. Can you tell me what didi the guys at the garage precisely do so that i might get an independent garage to sort it out for me.

Just cleared my secondary MOT (11reg) with flying colours no issues with break pads.

Dealer diagnosed a clicking sound at front as drive shaft. Will negotiate with warranty.

Any experience with Chrysler customer services, any hints advices, tricks or tips?!

Hi there,

I can relatr to a slightly similar but not identical issue.... When steering at high speed as u describe especially when loadex at the boot a load knocking is noted at the rear. Dealer inspected that and found an issue with rear axle push and didn't need to replace simplty readjusted it. Might be similar issue at front axle?

Hi guys,

Nice to find such a helpful group

I got my Delta with 11k miles on the clock from Dealer (Chris Variava in Nottingham) it is the 2tone white with matt black roof.

Issues:

Start stop wont work, dealer had to recharge battery with no success.

Too low click click indicator sound

Big one: a grinding sound on pull off, clutch release fauly had to change cluch disc under warranty.

A loud knocking on steering on high speed when fully loaded, rear axle push had to be adjusted.

A particularly loud wind noise if driving with rear windows open at 70or above /did any of you notice that?

 

All of that in less than 12 month, given the milage i think it was probably hammered by previous owner, any idea how to check for hidden history. Dealed just say they got it part exchange!

 

Now on my first MOT and year 4 service. Dealer auoting whopping £450 for service!

Any idea re a cheaper service. I tried Paul at Birmingham but was wondering if i can get someone around Derby and Nottingham

I still got the Chrysler badges as i didnt have time amidst this fot rebadging!

 

Is the multi air engine odd regarding which oil to use to make a standard service an issue

Waiting for your help and opinions

 

Cheers!
