Johnny86 4th Gear July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 seriously, I did not find any scratches on mine leh and I dare say I really did checked thoroughly. I had a bad experience on my latio where there is a big scratch on my armrest side near seat belt, and I did not find out till some days later. it dawn on me that due to my SE bigger size, he might had scratch it when putting on the seat belt while driving my car to fix up the accessories. As the SE was a known person recommended by some relatives, I LL suck thumb Then it's good to know not all cars suffer from cosmetic issues.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinBao Neutral Newbie July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 Got my COE on 5th of July, still haven't collect and yet being told there is a long queue now...anyone face same situation? Same here. Was told to make payment this week and get the car in early Aug. But mine will be from the older stock, not from the 15 Jul batch to Singapore. Bro, you won't regret it. If you read my earlier post in April, I drove up north and the 1.4 Turbo really begs you to "push" it. 160 km/h? No Sweat, Chicken Feed, Ha Ha, all the way.... But I will not tell you how fast I did.... Will be making a 2nd trip in August to exercise the "turbo" again. Cheers! Did 180km/h quite comfortably while on a rental ST in Germany's autobahn. Did not try to push it even more though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using S6 Edge plus... if I use 3rd party cable... cannot connect.... use original cable... then alright... Rattling problem i have a few places (which can be reasonably fixed if u really want to): 1) Rubber trim above windows (this makes the loudest flexing noise over ramps / humps) buy a lubricant , run it over the rubbers and 100% noise gone. redo this every few months especially if u like to keep ur car clean and dry sounds like robotic frog croaking 2) IU this one dono how, maybe insert some gel/blu tac , it happens when it expands/contracts in heat. whenever this happens there is loud tick sound 3) Door side B pillar think door metal contact with B pillar metal. bought a whole box of rubber insulators for this but havent got around to install. its some tick tick sound when drive. 4) Door bins inside hard plastic not soft touch rubber, so anything inside can vibrate. 5) hollow clunking sound over very uneven ground something to do with front undercarriage. dont know where yet because it doesnt happen on normal roads or going over humps. Radio needs to be off. not sure how to fix but raise this to AG they should do something about this phone AA issue tried many different cables including original one....im waiting for a special new set and just ordered a 4 port USB 3.0 powered switch from Orico...if it doesnt work may change phone haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiario 5th Gear July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 I also don't know what sort of rattling sound you guys are mentioning. I mean of course, I don't expect the car to be super quiet but I really have no problem with any sound once the car radio is on. is the sound already there since day 1? have you guys asked the service engineer to test drive the test drive cars and see if such rattling sound are present too? I mean for me, if the test drive cars don't have such rattling sound, then it make no sense for yours to have such sound meaning it can definitely be solve and AG must look into it. Or have you guys attended the Opel meetup and sit on other members cars to verify? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using S6 Edge plus... if I use 3rd party cable... cannot connect.... use original cable... then alright... Yeah. I think mine is near the rear door window pillar? It's gone when I open and close a few times after washing. Since I just went for my 1k inspection, I think I better check for damages.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
