    MG5 Washer Jets Freezing

    Well, it looks like this has happened to me. Ive got a wet foot, i just worry about getting wet connections inside the dash. Ill have a look at removing the cover on the pillar and take some pictures while im at it.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Its an original LR, picked up on 06/10/22. I think most people with this issue had cars delivered at roughly the same time.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Had the update now. the jury is out, but looking good so far. In the end i had to speak to MG directly. Once MG were involved, suddenly it was possible to book us in much quicker and arrange a courtesy car. I was pretty unimpressed with Southampton Richmond MG (Hyundai), They did not want to...

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Can i ask if anybody has had their MG updated at Richmond Southampton? They are giving us the run around and making life very difficult, claiming that they haven't been told there was an update available yet. Currently getting turtle mode reasonably regularly, the car is becoming unusable.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    I wouldn't read into it too much, just a feeling, I've not been counting or keeping notes.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Mostly 50-65 kw on 350kw ccs from ionity and fastened. For reference, I had a bit of a nose at other cars charge sessions at the same chargers, they were in the same ball park charge rate.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    No updates, but drove 1000 miles round Europe over Xmas, mostly fast charging. Had turtle mode once, just ten miles from home on the motorway, no where safe to pull over, so kept driving towards the next exit, but the fault had cleared before I stopped. Had a number of 'check HV battery' faults...

    Red 'Check HV Battery'

    Hi svacher, the main post on this topic is here Mystery Faults A lot of people have exactly the same issue. You should expect a response from the dealer along the line of "mg are aware, it's a known issue, it's safe to drive, it's just a software issue and mg will contact you when the update is...

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    First time I put the car in for diagnosis, they didn't get any HV battery codes, so assuming they were reading the BMS for codes, and no codes appear, there is no real issue with the HV battery. This leads me to think the VCU is reporting false positives and is either faulty or can be fixed in...

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Ok not read the post in a while, but it looks like the advice from MG is consistent now. I assume everyone is getting "it's a know issue, they will release a software update, it's safe to drive with the random check HV message" Not helpful if it's turtling. Fortunately I have only seen turtle...

    22 kW in-car charger upgrade?

    Thanks, Missed the detail that the inverter was only 16a on 3 phase. 11kw, vs 7kw, Not missing much really, even if one is 50% faster , its still too slow to be useful for charging at speed.

    22 kW in-car charger upgrade?

    No, this is incorrect. The charging for each phase is 32 amps. we run on 230v nominal. so 32 x 230 = 7360w i.e. 7kw. So 3 phase is 3 x 7360w, = 22080w i.e. 22kw. You will only get 7kw on a single phase. not trying to be condescending, just trying to explain. If somebody thinks im wrong...

    Mine is a pre-facelift 'old' model. I think everyone else in the thread is too.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    This isn't really related to this post. This post is mainly in relation to 'Check HV battery' warning. The behavior your describing is normal. my car also reverts to off, i think the car needs to be plugged in and charging for it to stay at on. Ive noticed on a few other options in the MG...

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Have spoken to MG Richmond Southampton who have had our car for 3 days now. We have been told the Technicians raised the issue with MG HQ. MG HQ have said its a know issue. Looking at the similarity in symptoms described by people in this post Im not surprised. The issue is a software issue...

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    That's potentially two VCU swaps. Lets hope that resolves the issue. I assume both are not the same garage, im hoping that the change is based on advice from MG. Please keep us updated. My MG5 is back at the dealer, need to call them today to discuss. Currently have the PHEV MG HS. Im very...

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    Our delivery pickup 05/10/22 was delayed so that they could update the software. so it should all be upto date.

    MG5 Mystery Faults

    not any thing specific. My wife is always keeping her eye on the 12v battery gauge. apparently our car never goes to 14v, but the courtesy car was almost always 14.1 - 14.2v. The information ive had from the garage when they 'repaired' it was that there was some 12v faults on the system. We had...

    If its within 30 days of purchase you can return it and ask for a refund/replacement. Check the motor ombudsman website.

    Red 'Check HV Battery'

    Yes its a 72 plate, but ordered in February. I had a fear that although it would be shipped reasonably quickly once complete, that some parts may have been in storage waiting to complete assembly.
