SOrry, yes Atkinson cycle; It keeps the intake valve open for longer, poplat oin hybrids

1) Seems odd, would have a look at that; But in general the 1.5 GM/SAIC engine is generally not the latest thing in terms of refinement and vibration suppression. 2) Unfortunately that is normal, as the car will "over rev" to charge the battery, this is more present in newer SW versions as...

Yes, had the warning come on as well yesterday, and after diagnosis and an immediate software update in the late afternoon (yet another one, after PD052, the ECM one 3 weeks ago that came along the EQ update and then this) the warning did not go away, and now it's waiting time for the new EGR...

Nah, but it was a very new update for the ECM (PD052 was already done a long time ago); As nothing was invoiced (I was there for rear axle mount sounds), I did not receive anything.

As I did receive that ECM update last week and have used the car a bit since then, I would say it'S a so so update; In normla driving I would say the engine kicks in more often, despite the battery being well filled, though revs are lower when charging as a result; In that it feels a bit more...

I'm using it on iPhone (a 15 PM), and it works reliably; More reliable than the Kia App I had before (which could just heat the steering wheel and not seats, wouldn't connect over the majority of WiFis and often just had a server timeout); Whilst the functions are limited, they are at least...

Indeed shows the radar stuff, and it turns blue when MG Pilot is driving and all is well.

It's not mainly the you go nowhere point, more troublesome is the not stopping anytime soon moment too. As summer tires have plane surface with mostly longitudinal channels, great in the wet and dry conditions, M&S have more of a V profile that bites into slush for traction, and the saw teeth...

If it helps (As I speak German as well), he is asking about live data for the SAT Nav, if it works, is included and for how long; I can only speak for my market (Austria), where officially it is included for now until further notice, but really to me it seems that anything related live traffic...

Technically you could probably survive the few days with actual slush on the roads (we don't get much more in Vienna) to satisfy lawmakers, but the definition of "wintery" driving conditions is a bit so so, and if you are unlucky, a police officer might decide that conditions are wintery enough...

Given his location is Germany, like in my location of Austria tires that are rated "M&S plus and Ice symbol" are mandatory in wintery driving conditions. Whilst most people tend to have 2 sets of tires, but if you don't live in higher Alpine regions and don't tend to go skiing or Norway...

Whilst not on a MG, but I did use Conti allseason 2 Contacts for 2 years on a KIA EV6, and despite a heavy EV, they performed really well, with relatively little wear on roughly 30k kms. Only downside was they were a bit noisier than good summer tires on the Autobahn above 130km/h, probably less...

I did receive my car yesterday from the dealership after ( it was there for a knocking sound from the rear axle when wet, which I haven't come across here but apparently with MG3s its a known issue, where some screw in the rear axle bushing gets swapped in combination with greasing it, and my...

I did notice that as well in my car the (very) few occasions that I opened the built in Sat Nav (I use CarPlay 99% of he time); It's not entirely exclusive to the MG though, as some SAT Navs I used had this "feature", I think it is down to whether it is always active in the background and thus...

Sorry, no a regular new ZS manual, non hybrid, now called in Austria ZS+ (because the old ZS is still on sale, and the hybrid turned from a ZS Hybrid+ to a ZS+ Hybrid as well). As that has the 12V battery in the front, there is a huge space below the false floor where the Hybrid modle has the...
