My step is getting worse, now has a mind of its own when it opens and closes.Ok, took it to garage, the guy said both the Fridge and the Step need to be replaced. "They are on back order" with no timeline as to when they may arrive. He also said some latches of the van need to be replaced in the overhead lockers, he said part of a 'recall process'.
So obviously some teething issues as its a new range, however, warranty is for 3 years so its a portable fridge with a 'BESTEK 200W Power Inverter' until then.
Replying to myself.
Reason for the leaking taps has been solved. Factory has left water in the system and as the van was delivered to Finland at winter with -20 celsius outside atleast the toilet tap and outdoor shower "tap" have frozen and are now broken. Service will check if the kitchen tap is garbage also. Spareparts are taking weeks to arrive.
Problems so far:
* Automatic toilet light living its own life -> Service fixed this by removing the movement detector and replaced by normal switch.
* Two leaking taps -> Not fixed yet, several weeks for spares to arrive
* Diesel heating shuts off on its own and complains that battery is empty even though there is 80% of juice left -> Not fixed
* Electric step lives its own life, doesn't always work when side door is opened or closed. -> Not fixed, service has no idea when spareparts are available
* Parts of the Control panel stops working and only some of the features work thought the touch screen. -> Not fixed, "rebooting" the camper section from the mains switch fixes this for a while.
Not pleased at all for this purchase.
Have you tried hovering over the map until you see a rocket image (right side) then press it should bring you back to your location.Hi
We have just purchased GC 600 - the satnav never shows our position. Our position is always off the map! Any suggestions please?
Thanks
And position water fill point so that it can't be sliced off by sliding door when open. obviously being VW it is an outrageous 50 odd quid to replace....!Here is a list for VW to work on.
On board Lithium Ion batteries/Smaller fold away table/3 bed using passenger rear seats and front passenger./Ditch the MDF aircraft lockers,dumping weight and making shure they shut properly/Insulated water tanks that don't dump the contents at the sign of a chill.
A plusher more refined cabin befitting 90k not a Mk 1 Golf
Ha ha, yes, guilty of that.And position water fill point so that it can't be sliced off by sliding door when open. obviously being VW it is an outrageous 50 odd quid to replace....!
And additional or more powerful solar panel, on the 600 a 104 watt panel is not enough considering it’s a 4 birth, with kids etc opening and closing the fridge all day how is that going to keep the battery tipped up ? Mine can’t with just 2 adults.Ha ha, yes, guilty of that.
I have not got the solar panel but did find the battery drained quicker than expected in the early days but seems to have improved. Not sure if that's more my perception than reality.And additional or more powerful solar panel, on the 600 a 104 watt panel is not enough considering it’s a 4 birth, with kids etc opening and closing the fridge all day how is that going to keep the battery tipped up ?
