Just taken delivery of a new 170DSG, delivery driver said he had filled the screenwash reservoir twice in 200 miles. Turned out to be a split pipe and leaking seal at washer bottle. Good start! Nice to see PDI was done properly though! Nice guys at Chathams in Edinburgh sorted the problem very quickly - good to see some dealers are a lot better than others.

My 170dsg, with 700 miles on it, has the noise you refer to on take off - or occasionally on use of kick-down. Seems to come from NSF - sounds a little like the noise you would get is an ABS system was operational. Not the brakes, so hopefully will find the source soon. Seems more prevalent when cold. Interested to hear how you get on.

Have the 170dsg, with 700 miles on it. Got 50.3mpg on motorway run and about mid44-47 in town. If you use kickdown, it drops by about 5%. Otherwise, pretty much as promised. Hopefully the 140 is the same. 170 will spin its wheels on take-off, so 140 may be a good bet. Consumption will be down a little though. Enjoy.
