Water trail leak

[Hankydoo]

Hi all, bought an MG4 2022 today, only 14,000 on clock, noticed on my driveway what looked like two water trail lines both sides of the car, any idea what this may be?
Does anyone else have it? Could it be air con?

Probably just rainwater settling on the undertray, then running off as you drive away.

Air con condensate?

 

[Hankydoo]

That is what I’m thinking? But do please say if you would have concerns about something else

I normally street park and had not noticed this before but I did see it the other day. I traced it to the coolant pipe covered in condensation. There was no leak anything.

I believe it is the AC and shared battery cooling system but I may not be spot there.

No worries mate, it happens sometimes, we'll disregard it.

Additionally, it says the car is bound to the previous owner in terms of the app, I have made a request but what happens if the previous owner doesn’t cooperate? Do
locking wheel nuts come as standard with the car, don’t have the attachment for that either.

No locking wheel nuts on the MG4 .. the alloys are pretty rubbish so nobody in their right mind would want to steal them anyway.

Regarding binding .. when a new bind request has been made (which I believe is what you have done), the original account gets 72 hours (I believe) to challenge or accept the request - it they accept, all good; if they do nothing then I think the car gets unbound from their account anyway thus allowing you to then bind it to your account. If they challenge it then you're into a more problematic situation .. you'd need to email MG UK customer services with a copy of the sales invoice that includes the VIN as proof that you now own the vehicle.

I think this post needs moving to the MG S5 forum.

 

[Rolfe]

He says he has bought an MG4, but his profile says MGS5. Maybe he can clarify.

 

[Alb]

I think he now has both.
