Hybrid motor failure.

[Lespresso]

I recently posted about the emission warning light has come, after reading several posts this is a common issue, I tried the recommendation regarding the filler cap unfortunately but no joy, contacted local MG and it’s booked in for Wednesday, however the said it is safe to drive as the
symbol wasn’t flashing or red, no real problem, one of those things.
This morning I took it for a very short drive when a warning message “hybrid fault” )or similar can’t remember) shortly after the car went into
“limp mode” and then failed completely, no traction at all.
I called the AA, they did the usual diagnostics and apparently cleared the faults, the mechanic then did a short test and it went straight back into limp mode, put on a low loader and taken to MG dealership, he said he heard a loud ”squeak“ from underneath, awaiting their report,
So disappointed, fingers crossed it’s nothing serious.

Keep us updated.

Will do,
I have only had the car two weeks so considering Consumer Right Act, short term right to reject.

After the vehicle examination by the MG dealership the engineers concluded it was a faulty EGR valve and a part was required.
The car has now been returned to the dealer where it was purchased and a full refund has been agreed.

That's a good result in this case @Lespresso, will you have another MG ?

No, unfortunately I have had the misfortune to have had too may issues with the brand over the years, I have owned the MG3, 4, 5 ZS and the ZS hybrid,
MG have produced some nice, well equipped and good looking cars under SIACC ownership, it’s a shame the don’t invest more in quality control and testing vehicles prior to launch,
I’m sure there are and will be many totally satisfied customers but not me.

Well with your previous MG ownership history, nobody can say you haven't given MG a chance, best of luck with whatever you go with next.
