I’ll be interested to know if the patches fix the fault, Talky. I’ve just tried charging the car to 80% from a starting point of 70% and it has just ignored the limit and went to 88% which is when I unplugged it. I’ll see how you get on and probably get these patches when my car goes in for its first service.
Thanks, and good to hear, I'll call the garage and see when they can do mine.
Thanks @Rolfe had a good afternoon at work reading through the thread. Very much sounds the same issue that I've had since Sept. I've coped with DC charging since, but getting fed up now. In with the dealer on 22nd March and will get a van from work to cover me in the mean time if it's got to be in for months (but hopefully not!).
Hi @blue232, Yeah, it sounds exactly like the trouble I and other members in this thread have experienced. When you go to your dealers, they will first try performing some software updates which may or may not work. I had to impress upon my dealer that slow charging needed to be tested for a good amount of time to make sure, not just a quick fifteen minutes or so. Once you get past that stage, fitting a new charge control unit should only take a day, however those of us who have had a replacement fitted are unable to limit a charge to 80% or schedule a charge. @Talky Toaster has had a software patch installed and reports that charging is working normally now. It might be a good idea to ask if the technician can check the charge on the replacement CCU is able to stop at 80%. If not, then you’ll need the patch. Worth doing at the same time I reckon.
I got a rental out of MG, so dealer still has my car, hope the cost of the rental car will help speed things up. saying that no fun being back in a petrol car, got a MG hs, to big and under powered
Sounds good so far DelBoy. Let’s hope that’s the end of that issue. The next time you charge the car, try setting a limit of 80% to see if stops or keeps going. Those of us who have had new CCUs fitted have found the car ignores the limit. Fortunately, one member has had a software patch which seems to have fixed this. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.Got car back today, CCU changed, tried to charge, seemed ok over short period, have set up for a 100% overnight to balance etc. R46 on the infotainment system, good large buttons on the aircon page. not gone too far into it but all seems good. Time will tell
Oh, ATM I am looking at balancing and I use a zappi so the charge is regulated by that, I will have a go another time on that little numberSounds good so far DelBoy.
