well, my reliability luck has run out: 2024 C8 DCT issue

[Airbus330]

Really.... the SHHHHHHHHHHH on my left ear is a PITA... They fixed the window going up and then coming down 5"(as if it was binding and safety) but the noise is still there. Also said have to take door off if a door seal is replaced.

Finally got the Frunk fixed after a month waiting for parts. I couldn't get it opened with the three different methods, not good when you have your work papers in there and just arrived at work. They replaced both frunk mechanisms and it works good now.

That is a list of unique issue's to say the least. Tell me, when you launch your car do the wheels bunny hop?

Driver's Door Seal Investigation?! I sense a ground stop and major recall happening....

Time to start a class action lawsuit….

 

[Airbus330]

It does... just like this! How did you know!

Not likely. Getting a vehicle to bunny hop takes a very experienced expert driver....or something like that...

"Self Proclaimed Experienced Expert Driver". Can someone translate that into Quebecois, I'm still using Windows XP....

Had my DCT service completed at 12100 km. Downshifting was quite hard previously with a noticeable jerk. After service the “jerk” has steadily become less noticeable and l hope will continue to improve. No difficulties upshifting. During a 6500km trip this summer a smell of exhaust was noticed in our luggage (clothing) that continued for the trip. Anyone else notice this? Solution? Cheers.

Funny my wife says the same thing when she's with me!

Not very attractive perhaps but what if you put your bags in a contractor sized garbage bag ? Tie the top and that should work. I personally have never noticed any smell and I have a nose….

Question: Is the car stock exhaust / cat etc.?
I'd think it should seal better than that. You might need to adjust the stops.

Performance exhaust option - fully open.

Stops ? Curious as to what you are referring to. Excuse my ignorance.

rubber twist stops. 6 of them as I recall

I will try the adjustment, thanks.

Ok . But what does that have to do with stinky shorts ?
