| 2057978/5 | 2021-10-06. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Engine Lubricating Oil - Replenishment. Customer statement / workshop findings Engine lubricating oil lamp illuminated on driver instrument panel. Engine lubricating oil requires topping up between services. Technical background: In order to provide effective lubrication and cooling of internal engine components, all internal combustion engines consume a certain amount of engine oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine and may change significantly over the life of the engine. Typically, engines with specified running-in periods consume more oil during the running-in period, and the oil consumption will stabilize after the running-in period. Refer to the Owners Manual for specific running-in procedures. Under normal conditions, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of the oil, the RPM at which the engine is operated, ambient temperature and road conditions. Additional factors are the amount of oil dilution from water condensation or fuel residue, and the oxidation level of the oil. Certain driving conditions may negatively influence the rate of oil consumption. This can occur while the vehicle is operated in city driving conditions, for example: stop and go traffic with extended idle periods |

| 2058516/3 | 2021-10-06. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; EQUIPMENT. Ticking noise from the rear cabin area Customer statement / workshop findings: Ticking noise can be heard from inside the rear of the cabin when sitting in the rear seats Technical background: The noise can be heard when the engine is at operating temperature, after a drive cycle or an extended idle period, the noise is most evident with the armrest lowered with all electrical consumers switched off. The ticking noise occurs when the purge system is in operation, the vibrations emitted from the purge valve are then amplified through the fuel pipes to the rear of the vehicle. This is normal operation and no further investigation work is required as the vehicle is operating to specification. |
