The high pitch sound last around 20s-1min right? that is normal

Got another problem after I collected car.

 

When start engine got terrible shrieking sound from fan belt area.

 

Goes away after warm up. But the high pitched sound is always there during start up.

The world Most dangerous thing is the Vehicle. Its not about the machine weather its slow or fast. Its the person who is controlling it. The driver is the brain of the Machine. Not the machine itself.

If the driver reacts slow even the most powerful ABS(Auto braking system) will not help. The driver has to give the car the command in Order for the car to react. Afterall he is the brain of the car.

actually it is the same with my old audi. usually i will switch off air con before shutting down the car, and press the air circulation button after i start the car.

I switched from Honda to Mercedes as well and know exactly what you mean. Now I just leave the circulation as it is. You'll be surprised that Mercedes filter is quite good and no unpleasant odours even if you didn't activate the circulation.

This is what happen to me:

 

After parking I take key out of ignition -everythng goes dead right?

 

Next day drivers seat cannot move and 'locked' in foremost position!

 

Chest pushed against steering wheel and Knees crushed against Binnacle,elbows bent while driving..

 

All the Audi drivers looking at me and smiling!

 

I always kana this. Once I got so angry that i drove to C&C and park at the main door and left the car there.

 

The best way is to off the convenience function and push the seat back to original position before getting off the car. At least if it malfunctions again, we won't have to drive like a goondu again. Thats very dangerous. If airbag burst, i die first.

There is no external air filter. You need to add on yourself.

My Lexus also have issues after 9mths, the hifi spoil...either is my luck or nowadays the components manufacturer supplying the big boys hv poor quality Ctrl....

My friend work for MNC say no such thing as luck, if the product fail is either the QC or Reliability dept not performing..he say when a product for 750v is launch, they actually tested it to 1000v for a relentless 5yr cycle...when his level very high and can fire people so talk also very big...I small peasant can just listen and Blaime myself

Only car without issue is my made in japan civic, abuse it to redline and the 2litre engine still works when I sell it...but jap cars drive like tin cans , same for the Lexus...it is actually a Toyota with a Lexus shell :)

Ok credit where it's due.

 

I must say they did immediately replace the belt and in record time too,car washed and polished.

 

Well done C&C this is the service we expect from the premier marque.

 

And guys please compare apples with apples. Toyota? ha,ha.
