Well, the engineer who I saw suggested he thought it needed the CCU replacing, but it’s up to MG to decide. Sometimes they ask the engineer for advice and sometimes they take control. But that was almost a month ago now. It’s the appalling reaction times and lack of any feedback that’s the big...

I will, thanks for your help.

Thanks, just read the whole thread. I’ve had this fault since October last year ( months11 after purchase) Currently unable to dc charge temp sensor replaced, and when I collected the car made engineer accompany me to a DC Gridserve with his laptop. Wouldn’t complete the handshake and failed to...

I’ll contact MG customer services, whom I have a chain of emails with, telling them of my intents. First issue is the dealer I purchased from isn’t aware of said issue to my knowledge, as I’ve been using a newer dealership geographically closer to me. I guess I’ll have to book it in there...

Well, as this problem was discovered in the 11th month of ownership, I suppose it’s worth trying at least.

I have the iSMART set to 80%, but that has no effect. I have the Octopus go set to 80% with no effect. I get a message from Octopus saying “we were unable to control your device”. I’ll try a schedule charge on the Zappi and see if that works. Problem is as soon as I plug in, Octopus decides...

Just an update regarding my rapid charging problem. Took car in on April 17. Got engineer to sit in and do diagnostic check. Threw up fault as I suspected, He then cleared the fault and accompanied me to a rapid charger. Failed to charge, timed out. I decided to take the car home as there was...

I asked the engineer the very same question, when I took my car last week. He said “I wouldn’t recommend it”.

Thanks.

Well it’s booked in again for next Wednesday, I’ll dig out whoever is in charge and insist what you mentioned.They clearly haven’t got a clue, it’s booked in for 9am and I was told to collect it at 5pm the same day! Last time they had it for 5 weeks. There’s a160kw rapid charger about a mile...

Thanks for mentioning that. MG4 long range. I initially put a deposit on a ZS that never came, so I switched to the MG4. I’ll update my profile.

Tried all the above. Had a MG4 hire car from MG while they fixed it, and went to Ullapool Scotland. Many charging stops there and back with no issues at all. Only difference, mine is first gen model, hire car was the newer one.

Well, got my car back from the dealer on Saturday after a 5 week repair! Actually came back earlier than anticipated by them. As the car was collected fully charged was unable to verify the repair had worked at the time. Roll on 5 days and….. NO, it’s just as before.. tried 3 different rapid...

Mine is due in September, would it work for me? Do I put my ref number off my log book in, or ignore that bit? It suggests if I tax it now I may be charged again

Hi, mine has the 86°C problem (phase 1 trophy LR) sincle Sept / Oct last year, but took many visits to the dealer to discover it. Current situation is: waited 5 weeks for new temp sensor to arrive, Went in on Thursday to be repaired, just been to see what’s going on ( they never answer the...

Won’t charge on a rapid charger, the charger starts the handshake and then the car terminates the connection. On the lower power chargers 7kW like at home there are no problems fortunately.

I went to London from Leicester, and found the problem on my return journey. Eventually used one of the slow chargers at a service station and got fined for exceeding 2 hours! Not one of my best trips.

Be good to know if it’s a common fault. Thanks

Out of the blue, as far as I know. Couldn’t say exactly when as I don’t rapid charge that often. MG are so very very slow to do anything though. I think it went in at least 4 separate times before they decided to order the part. They just kept trying to reset everything hoping it would correct it.

I have the very same problem with mine. Went to Scotland last year and it was fine, and then one day it wouldn't rapid charge. Tried so many different chargers with none working. After prolonged visits to the dealer, they eventually discovered a faulty temperature sensor on the main battery. It...
