In operation “Behind the wheel” – since December 2015
Mileage at time of report – 122,500 km
Eighteen months ago, the emergency oil pressure lamp suddenly came on at Vesta. Idling, immediately after starting the engine. Then the case turned out to be in contact: I moved the chip and everything was gone.
Last winter, the malfunction returned, but manifested itself differently. The indicator lights up during acceleration in the 2000-3000 rpm range. Very briefly, blinking. You accelerate at idle, even in the cut-off – everything is fine. The measurement showed that the pressure is normal. Replacing the sensor and cleaning the chips didn’t help. We will have to look for the cause in the wiring. And it’s long and tedious.
The news turned out to be very successful. She has no serious design flaws or a plethora of teething problems. In terms of suspension characteristics, this is arguably the best car in the segment. It combines energy intensity (even on low-profile 17-inch tires), reliability (the editorial car does not need any investment in the chassis yet) and handling (Polo and Rapid steer more precisely, but they are noticeably stiffer).
