After 2 years of searching for the perfect car, Wednesday was the day. I bought the car, it has a full service history, has rolled 60k, fully loaded, nice colour, perfect. Test drove, and everything was expected......
.....But......6 hours after owning the car, I had to top up 1L of oil (MMI was telling me to do so). Checked the oil level, and was at max.
It was too good to be true. I have a feeling that this car has the oil consumption problem.
After topping it up, and starting the engine, the EML went on about 1 min after starting. Plugged my code reader and has the P0016 or Cam/crankshaft Pos. correlation sensor A - Bank 1 failure.
So days went by, and I have been observing the oil level from the MMI. It has now the middle of Medium and Low oil level.
I also noticed that the engine starts about 2 seconds longer (have to hold the start/stop button longer, instead of just pressing it).
I haven't driven the car since Saturday evening, and actually tried to start the car today (Monday at 2 o'clock noon). It wouldn't start at all. After holding the start/stop for about 5 seconds, the engine cranks 2-3 times and nothing happens. So I charged the battery about 4-5 hours. Tried again and exactly same fault. Battery fully charged, starter is fully working...
I have messaged the dealer about this. Hopefully they will eventually pay for the full costs of repair, or I just need to return the car... What do you guys think I should expect?
