It seems to need a set of circumstances for it to happen as it does not affect every Multijet Panda. The later ones have a drain hole in the bottom of the air filter box. 😲 Thanks. AG Falco

Known problem on my Panda. https://www.fiatforum.com/threads/fiat-panda-1-3-multijet-water-in-air-box.341188/ Thanks. AG Falco

I change the Air Filter when I change the spark plugs on my 1.2 TSI. The spark plugs are due at 40K miles and the air filter at 60K miles. ( Plugs due again this year ) If the air filter screws were in the top you could get moisture / condensation / water from above going in to the air filter box? 🙁 Thanks. AG Falco

Renault is the biggest culprit with different wheel bolts for the spare. Alloy wheel bolts have washers, Steel wheel bolts don't. MB also had some where you need to use shorter wheel bolts with the spare steel wheel. Fit the longer wheel bolts on a steel wheel to the rear and you damage the internal handbrake mechanism inside the disk as soon as you drive. Thanks. AG Falco

The higher power the charger the more they cost. If you have time on your hand then a lower powered one might be cheaper and better for the battery. If your battery is a 60AH then the suggested maximum charge is 10% of this. So the 6 Amp or even the 4 Amp would be good enough for you. I use a 3 Amp charger and just put on in the evening and leave it all night. Thanks. AG Falco

Just connect the flat battery up to a good battery with jump leads to fool the battery charger in to starting the charge. Bought a smart AA/AAA battery charger in Dec 2012 along with some good Eneloop ( was Sanyo now Panasonic ) batteries. Yet to have any of these batteries degrade. Most still charge up to more than they're rating after 10 Years of use. Thanks. AG Falco

Is the Android Auto / Apple Car Play any better on the display or is it the resolution of your display? Thanks. AG Falco

Don't forget that you have two water pumps. 🙂 What is it about the GPS that is not great? Thanks. AG Falco

In my experience the coolant level, if filled to max will drop to about half way between max and min and then stop. Are you planning to keep this car now? Thanks. AG Falco

You have a Micro Hybrid car. For more details look here:- https://www.yuasa.co.uk/info/technical/micro-hybrid-hybrid-vehicles-explained/ Especially these sections. Micro Hybrid 2, Regenerative braking & Battery care and Charging. Thank, AG Falco

Is it a smart charger suitable for a stop/start battery? Do you connect the charger to both battery terminals? This is low. The Alternator does NOT charge the battery all the time by design. If the electrical load is low it will get turned off. You might be able to notice this with your Temperature/Voltage unit. The Alternator does NOT charge the battery all the time by design. If the electrical load is low it will get turned off. This is when the alternator is most likely NOT to be charging your battery. Correct. I don't think you have this TPMS system. You have the indirect type that use the ABS/Speed sensors. How much do they go down by? What age, mileage & make tyres are they? Disconnect the bulb. Faulty switch? As in my manual page158-9 :- ■ If the vehicle is frequently used for making short trips, low mileage, the vehicle battery will not have time to charge up sufficiently and may discharge. Winter time The vehicle battery only has some of its starting power at low temperatures. A discharged vehicle battery may freeze at temperatures just below 0 °C. We therefore recommend that you have the battery checked and, if necessary, recharged by a specialist garage before the start of the winter. Good plan. No problem. 😁 My Skoda garage is only 80KM away. 😕 Thanks. AG Falco It has become too complicated. 😕

I have processed many tyre complaints over the years. I have only had one where it actually looked like a faulty tyre. This was on a week old tyre and the claim was successful. The fault was only visible after fitting the tyre and driving it. Most you know are not faulty tyres from the start. Some people listen to my advise and don't try to claim. Thanks. AG Falco

Green 30 amp. See below. Top row marked 30. 🙂 Thanks. AG Falco

Blue is 15 amp. That is just the fuse makers using a different shade of blue. Thanks. AG Falco

Definitely different to mine. Thanks. AG Falco

My fuse 44 is a 15 amp blue fuse. Thanks. AG Falco

Near side tyres tend to wear faster than offside tyres. So try to fit the better tyre to the near side when not fitted in pairs. A bulge in a tyre is an MOT fail. Just send Pirelli a photo of the tyre ( the one above in your first post ) and they will tell you if it is worth sending them the tyre to inspect. Thanks. AG Falco

Have you tried it with the AC off? Some cars turn the fans on when you turn the AC on. Is the water temperature sensor working correctly? Can you see live data via the OBD port on the water temperature? Thanks. AG Falco

No. But some people have found it hard. See this post for help:- Thanks. AG Falco

There is an industry standard form to fill out that I can email you, but not until Monday. The process can take months for you to get an answer. Michelin have just started using their own method using a portal and photos. ( even harder than the form. ) It will be from impact damage. You only need to runover a stone that is 1-2 inches high just on the one sidewall edge for this damage to happen. So you don't feel a bad thump like when you go through a pothole. I see this regularly. As Toot said:- As quoted to me;- 'Aesthetic looking wheels / tyres are expensive.' Thanks. AG Falco

Was this new battery coded when it was fitted? Have you smart charged the battery? On the way to work in the morning after 10 miles I can stop at a set of traffic lights, the stop start normally works. On my way home in the evening after 12 miles my stop start almost never works. 😕 There are many things that can affect as to whether the stop start will work. If I have the AC on and turn the fan speed up to 3 the engine will re start if it had stopped. The TPMS does NOT measure your tyre pressure. Read this post:- Can be turned off. Yes. Once the car has been started it is rare to have the battery fail. Was the alternator tested at the time? Low Voltage? Suffer from low voltage battery. Go to another one. Looks like the correct battery to me. Is the boot light on when this warning comes on? You need to look in the boot without opening any door or the boot. I would get a Smart Battery charger and charge the battery first. 🙂 HTH Thanks. AG Falco

In the UK many people grew up with imperial standards, eg PSI for tyre pressures. Most of these people will now be older and possibly have poorer reading eyesight. They then look at the tyre pressure figures, don't see the . and also think this is PSI, not knowing what Bar is. I have come across several instances of this. Don't forget most posters on this forum will be interested in cars and have more knowledge on motoring aspects than 'Joe Public'. Thanks. AG Falco
