I regret to hear about your loss. Concerning the car, if the chain has been replaced, it should be in satisfactory condition, having resolved that issue, and should be reliable for the duration of your ownership. If the vehicle accelerates upon releasing the accelerator pedal, it is likely that you have inadvertently engaged the cruise control, which maintains a constant speed rather than decelerating when you remove your foot from the accelerator or when approaching traffic ahead. The 2023 Evoque is equipped solely with standard cruise control, not adaptive cruise control, which would adjust the speed based on surrounding traffic conditions. Was it exhibiting this behaviour prior to the chain replacement, if this is not the case? I propose calling the repairer; if that is not feasible, reach out to a local independent Land Rover specialist who can assist you. Indeed, the Inigium engine receives some negative attention, and the chain is a significant concern; however, that issue has been addressed, and an annual service should maintain optimal condition. I have owned mine for six years without any complications, but I did replace the chain due to noise, which has since been resolved. I experienced a leaky windscreen issue, which was resolved by my insurance, and my steering rack malfunction was fixed free of charge by Land Rover.

Hello, I hail from Cheshire, United Kingdom. Regrettably, I have recently lost my husband, who possessed a 2016 diesel Evoque. During the most recent MOT, it was noted that a minor rattle was audible from the timing chain. The vehicle has travelled 67,000 miles. The replacement of the chain and related components incurred a cost of £3000. My spouse was unwell at that time; he just drove the car back from the garage and never drove again. He stated prior to his demise that I am It is presumed that you will retain the Evoque given the financial investment made in it. I appreciate the automobile; yet, I am somewhat apprehensive after reviewing the negative reports regarding the Ingenium engines. My emotions convey one message while my intellect communicates another. It exhibits an intermittent malfunction whereby releasing the accelerator results in the vehicle maintaining or increasing speed until the accelerator is pressed again. I am apprehensive that the chain may break again or that the turbo may fail. What should I do? I would like to retain it, but I fear it may become a financial burden. My vehicle is a Nissan Juke.

Thank you, everyone. I was rather inclined to have it monitored.

It is what it is.

Anything like chilly mine was terrible. The situation is bleak in the northern regions.

In the almost nine years I have owned my 4MATIC GLE, I have never observed such.

Affirmative. This is a characteristic of the RHD 4-Matic vehicles, as previously noted by others. Once the temperature increases, it will predominantly vanish

Standard for any 4MATIC. Only all-season or winter tires will temporarily conceal it. I utilised two sets of rims on my GLC for this specific purpose. It was exceedingly poor.

I have been enjoying familiarising myself with my E53 estate. It feels firmly established, and the performance exceeds my requirements. In several respects, it resembles the driving experience of my E350 estate; however, the primary distinction is in the turning radius. I am still unable to park the car correctly; the turning radius is far smaller than that of my previous vehicle, resulting in my frequently encroaching against the adjacent space until I can realign the car. I observe that when I rotate the steering wheel to full lock, the front tires begin to exhibit a crabbing motion. Is this typical for this vehicle equipped with 20-inch wheels, or should I have it inspected?

Endorsement for the 320i.

This illustrates the need of maintaining the guarantee on these vehicles. It raises the question of whether they extend warranties on the batteries.

I was on the verge of connecting the new issue, ha ha. I recognise its rarity, but the £7,000 represents a new car for me.

I would choose the 320i, as the expenses associated with repairs are significantly lower, and locating a garage proficient in hybrid repairs can be challenging. Additionally, as Rasa mentioned, the cost of a new battery is a maximum of £150, in contrast to £7,000, which is more palatable.

Ongoing discussion concerning a 330e, wherein the owner has incurred exorbitant charges to rectify a problem that remains unresolved. If you are determined to get a hybrid, consider a Mercedes, as the alarming accounts I have encountered regarding the 330e reveal that when issues arise, they are significant, and most authorised dealers lack the expertise to address them effectively.

There are numerous accounts of defective batteries. While it may not be prevalent, the financial burden is substantial, amounting to £7,000. Why not consider a 320d?

Seeking to purchase a pre-owned 330e or 320i from the year 2020 or later to substitute my ageing E92 320 from 2007. I was inclined to choose the 330e hybrid, but I have heard reports of owners encountering problems related to the intricacy of the hybrid system. There appears to be an abundance of these in the used market from 2020/2021, leading me to question whether this indicates their current susceptibility to malfunctions. I am contemplating whether the alternative to fuel would be a more dependable choice. I would prefer to achieve at least the same fuel efficiency as my current vehicle, if not an improvement. Any guidance would be valued.

I recognised the familiarity; it has prompted my recollection. It appears that AI still has considerable progress to make.

Does it appear as such?

Artificial Intelligence proposes this. The purple square including a vertical line and a star symbol (which manifests as a purple vertical line and a star on the display) signifies a sensor or electronic control unit alert in your Mercedes W205. This is a generic alert, frequently associated with a malfunction in a particular system, and it is generally accompanied by an additional message on the dashboard that delineates the precise issue. Proposed Measures Verify for an associated message: The primary dashboard interface will probably exhibit language (e.g., "Inoperative", "Refer to Owner's Manual") elucidating the particular system experiencing a malfunction (e.g., Active Brake Assist, ESP, or a designated sensor). Reinitiate the vehicle. Occasionally, the problem may stem from a transient electronic malfunction that can be rectified by powering down the vehicle, removing the key for around 30 seconds, and thereafter restarting the engine. Exercise vigilance while driving: This indicator, when yellow or purple, indicates caution rather than an immediate red-level safety danger, allowing you to proceed to a safe place or an authorised repair facility. Seek the assistance of a technician: Due to the symbol's ambiguity, a diagnostic scan tool (OBD-II scanner) is required to ascertain the exact error code and root cause.
