Hi All,
I have posted on here within other threads sharing my on-going experiences with the new MG 6. Have owned it from new on 61 plate, from September last year and with 8.8k on the clock as of this morning. So i'm starting to build up a good impression of what I like and do not like about the car.
My experience with MG has been fantastic. The initial car that I bought failed it's PDI, something to do with the EMS. As result this had to go back to MG for fault finding and a replacement was sent. Great! They also compensated me with silverstone tickets and the dealers MG 6 magnette until mine was delivered and ready. 2 weeks later, it was here PDI'd and ready to go.
Since then I have used the car daily, I find the quality on the inside of the car to be ok, it's not too bad. However, the sound proofing isn't good at speeds, my partners 10 year old vw and my 5 year old focus was is much better in this area.
Sadly, its not been fault free. With the first problems appearing around 2.5 to 3k with random creaky noises on the steering. The dealership wasn't wasn't able to find a fault and the problem went away. Still to this day it does it on occasions, more so when its been cold and wet.
At around 6.5-7k I started getting a low coolant alarms, levels appeared to be fine, so it went back in and had a new sensor. They also ordered me a new reversing camera due mine being constantly fogged.
As of last week (around 4 weeks since it has its new sensor) the low coolant alarm returned, now the car is due to go back in next week for the new camera, so I have also informed them of this. They now suspect it could the float sticking. The problem only occurs after the car has been standing over night. It has also developed a clutch squeaking/spring type noise, which I need to inform them off. It mat seem picky, but you don't expect these things on a new car.
Last night I took some photos of the levels, the first one after a I had been on a run, and the second one this morning around 30 mins ago. I'm not liking what I see, and this somewhat concerns me.
The car is a pleasure to drive, would be even better without the problems though.
I will keep this thread updated as and when I get feedback
