Common Faults & Issues

Senistive Variable Servicing Indicator.
Uneven tyre wear and cracking between treads on Dunlop SP2030 tyres (16” wheels).

CVT auto gearbox oil change - some sources say the CVT oil should be done every 2 years/25,000 miles despite some servicing documents (and dealers?) suggesting much longer intervals.
