Hello from Greece!!
We don't have a greek forum here so i joined yours!!Excellent work here...i enjoyed the modifications' section!!!!
I bought mine little Up! last week. It was the test drive car, its 8 months old with about 5000 miles on the clock and its in a new condition...
However i am facing some problems both minor and major and i am asking for any suggestions before taking the car to the garage...
1. Almost everytime i am passing through potholes (deeps or not)i hear a metal squeaking from the rear, both sides. I cant figure out where it comes from. I ve check everything under the car but found nothing. I must also add that there were 2-3 days that the axle hasnt squeak at all. (At that days the temperature was a bit lower but i dont know if this relates somehow with the problem). This sound reminds me of a vauxhall astra i owned and had a similar problem and the source was the absorbers and the pads of the rear axle.
2. When the steering wheel is in straight position the car pulls left...I believe that this is minor and it will only need an alignment. (i have faced the same with the other car i have and it was fixed with alignment...)
3. Yesterday and also today i noticed something weird with the speedo's lighting. When the car's lights are off, the light of the speedo is also off and when you turn on the lights the light of the speedo turns on....But mine doesnt act like that...The lights turned off, suddenly the speedo gets lighed and then the light goes gradually off, as if someone dimms it...and than on again...The intervals bettween these fainomenon arent fixed. I tried to connect this with speed-acceleration, or the day's light (ie when theres a lot sun, or when passing under a bridge) but i found no correlation...This happens only during the day.. i tested a bit last night (its dangerous with the ligths off...)with the lighst off and didnt happen
4. The radio's aux in doesn't work well....i connected my mp3 an i heard the sound only from the right speaker...i checked the balance and it was ok...if i choose only the left speaker i barerly hear the music even with volume at max...
5. The radio receives poor signal....
Thank you in advance and sorry for the lengthy post!!
