So today my MY2011 HSE is 6 months old, and I thought I would write up a bit of a Health Check - 6 months in and what's gone wrong:

1. Top trim strip on the windscreen lifted and rattled on the roof, fixed by pushing it down hard so the adhesive strip holds firmer - no doubt will fail again, but been ok since.

2. SmartKey not found, and would not work - holding it under the steering wheel at described location fixed it short term. Seemed to sort itself out.

3. Bluetooth on iPhone 4 will not work with my three digit voice mail (121 on Vodafone), annoying! {any ideas?}

4. About a liter of Castrol consumed.

Ohh - and for the those checking on the MPG - having just covered 15,000 in 6 months, its averaging 28.4MPG (According to the Trip) - I have not checked it manually - mostly motorway work (50 mile journeys minimum)

It is off for its first service next week - and it won't be that long before the Good Years need replacing.

All in all - its been as good as all the new Audi's BMW's Ford's etc that I have had.

Think you will find high oil consumption is normal with new engine, engine block has to absorb oil when new, then should see hardly any oil usage at all in the future.

Thanks rjc001. Good to hear some are good, 15k miles as well so good test. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

I don't know if I need to do something or if my trip computer isn't working as it should. Both my trip A and trip B totals zero themselves when I stop the engine. I thought they were supposed to be a cumulative total and that the auto was the one that got zeroed. Doesn't seem to me to be any point in having three settings that all do the same thing? 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic, Corris Grey with contrast Santorini Black Panoramic Roof, lunar interior, privacy glass, upgraded Meridian system, cooled 18 way front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive xenons, large screen wash bottle.
