Been playing a little in the snow, not deep enough yet, but put in Pure turn off traction control is fun

RWD Fun

can't do that in an AWD lol

I must admit with winter tyres even in RWD it grips so well.

Sounds cool!

Mine's gone into the garage to get a few things fixed and I got a recall letter in the post today!

If you've got an MY19 car I'm guessing you're going to get one soon for the rear tailgate struts like Haldex posted previously!!

Could anyone point me in the direction of the letter please?
Found it.

I only picked up mine on saturday - would this have been fixed prior to delivery?

Hey mate,

Here's Haldex's post;

Also, I remember the letter saying they're still working on replacement parts so not sure whether your car would have parts that are already working if they exist or not - Haldex is further down the line on that one than me!

You've got a nice car! How you finding it?

I'm really loving it!

I'm coming from a 14y old Skoda so it's quite a change! It's crazy fast for a such a big car and a whole new level of comfort. It's just a really nice place to be.

I have had the letter re struts a while now, did post it somewhere for Haldex to see, my struts are fine so far, but I have spayed Silicone lubricant everywhere including the boot hinges, just to stop it freezing, and seizing up, hopefully it will be ok till replacement parts are in stock.

Yeah quite a jump

it is really a wolf in sheep clothing, so sedate quiet, and unnoticed, till you floor it

TBH even just in normal mode FWD only it is still like 300+BHP so no slouch by a long way, mine has Polestar so most of the additional power was to the engine, not sure it changed the battery power, though did feel a little better in electric mode only when pulling from a standstill.

I wish they would have a separate Polestar mode or change the Power mode to Polestar mode with the software flash so you have some indicator its installed.

Oh well!
