    Time to Recognize/Reward MSRP C8 Dealers

    I’ve had two from Ray Cullen in London ….C7 and C8….and Steve McKaw was super. No bull, straight shooter and never above MSRP. Got price protection on the C7 and a decent trade in on the C8.

    Question Smelling gas after filling up

    Best guess…a leak at the top of the tank. Could be a leak around the sending unit for the gauge or a deteriorated line for part of the emission control system. If you can get the car up on a hoist right after a fill you may be able to see staining from the leaking fuel to pin point the area.

    Unplugging the rear defroster at the window is fine…but what about the heated mirrors?

    I have a c8 just turned the wheel all the way right or left and it makes a noise anyone else hear this?

    won’t be the power steering pump….there isn’t one on a c8….it’s electric power steering.

    Try using the second key fob and see if you get the same result….could be a faulty fob.

    Amazing Car, horrible dealer

    I’d also be inclined to see what arms length organizations like the Better Business Bureau have to say about those tactics. It may very well be against consumer protection rules.

    HEAVY HEARTS for VELOCITY YELLOW RULES

    Fuel Economy

    Not sure why the government rating is so high…but when I had my 2016 C7 it was a miser on fuel too. Hwy mileage was always in the 7 range when on cruise control @ 120k. I had a 2016 Ford Fusion at the same time with a turbo 2 litre engine and it was never that good! I put it down to the AFM...
