Re: Dealing with PML aftersales is a pain the arse
Honestly, I have had my fair share of PML nonsense. The way they 'fixed' my engine noise on the F02 (back then, the car was barely a month old) was to keep increasing the insulation in the hope that I'll end up being unable to hear the engine knocking. And I'll be sending the F02 in again when my F13 is delivered because the way they 'fixed' the faulty auto-closing feature on the boot was to 'reset the software'. Fcuk it. They didn't even bloody take a peek at the hydraulics, so of course the boot failed to close properly again after a couple of days.

Yes please share. My ride is only less than a week old and since second day, i had similar clonking and tok tok sound from suspension and steering.
It would be good if I know the cause and solution so as not to get "smoked"

Re: Dealing with PML aftersales is a pain the arse
说来话长 - suffice to say, there was an unacceptable knocking sound from my brand new F02 associated with a loss of power at between 1500-2000rpm. And PML's solution was to keep adding insulation in the hope that I would stop hearing the knocking. Anyway, it took me more than 4 months of ding donging and after many banging of tables at PML, they finally fixed the problem.
The issue isn't about PML fixing the problem - but why did it take 4 months and many smashed tables later before they finally decided to do the right thing!?

Re: Dealing with PML aftersales is a pain the arse
Here's the irony - I originally avoided the N54 because I read so many issues about it, so I opted for the N52. Waited a whole year for it to come out, bought it and fcuking heck, knock-knock who's there.
