Problems in your Grenadier

[ADVAW8S]

Can we all come to agreement and establish a standard when discussing a issue/problem with Grenadier. Please state the engine, RHD/LHD, model and if applicable to issue the set up. It will help others who might or might not have a issue.

Thank you in advance for your attention.

Perhaps also add global region to that, since there are a few slight differences both in the vehicles and the process of sales/support

Good idea, but to avoid to have to repeat it every time, I did put a description of my car in my signature. I will add now that it is LHD, in full words, I hate abbreviations ;-)

Great suggestion.

I turned signatures off, it takes so much space on small screens?

Like so? (pattern suggestion):

LHD, Diesel, Utility 5 seat
Issue: Get three bongs 5 seconds after I turn the key to 'ON'.
Effect: none
Reproduce:
- start from scratch: car is off, no key inserted,
- insert key, turn to 'ON' position. All control lamps in driver display go ON.
- after five seconds, the lights go off and three bongs sound

Another example:

LHD, Diesel, Fieldmaster
Issue: "Power steering Error" message appears in lower left corner of the head unit. Color is read. Message repeatedly disappears for a while and comes back after another while.
Effect: varies, no effect in most cases as well as sudden power steering failure
Reproduce:
- random event.

@emax did you sort your dangly bits?

New (or old) problem on my car: airco doesn't work!

Why do I say "or old": because first time I try to use it, I don't like the cold air of airco. The fans were blowing hard, but no cooling.

@Jean Mercier, I think there will be a recall/campaign for this. There is a loose nut which leads to a compressor fluid and gas leak. It has happened to me and others have reported it on Facebook. It explains the small stains on my driveway and no A/C. Mine is going back to the agents next week to be fixed.

I have the "power steering error" quite often, I usually do not start with the warning on (but I have done it in the beginning I had the car), but I NEVER experienced the failure!

Loose nut?

My AC is fine - any clue as to where is this "NUT"? Will ensure it's tight.

My aircon in the car is on every day of the year.
Temperature set to 22.
Even when I have the roof open and the windows down.

That’s how I do it too!

There are many.
Which ones do you mean?

The wires underneath

The wires underneath

Ah, understand.

Not yet. Off-road driving is not in sight at the moment. And I won't fix the cable thing until the error messages are gone. "You've changed the electronics" they might say ....

I'm currently clarifying whether my agent agrees that I can drive the car despite the messages. I have written a registered mail and asked them for a written answer.

My agent said as ling as the messages are on the centre screen - I should ignore them. However, I understand your concerns! Hopefully, you achieve clarification soon!

LHD, Diesel, Fieldmaster
Issue: The passenger window (on the right) squeaks extremely loud when opening it during rain (or when it is wet). Does somebody else have this problem?

nope, no Grenadier, no problems

Does it only happen when opening or does it also occur when closing?
