yes - that's correct. I live on the continent

mine 1 L every 20000 km.

What kind of caravan can you tow with a 2.4? The manual says the trailer should not exceed 450 kg in weight; this seems to limit your choices.

Rich, I thought the thicker the oil at high temp the longer the life of the engine. Thinner oil may give lower consumption at the price of increased wear? The temperatures in Germany are similar to the UK, maybe they account for the fact you don't have speed limits and the engine may run at high...

My German dealer uses Fuchs synthetic 5W40 oil for my 2.4 petrol engine. Anyone has an idea if this is a good oil?

Thanks Brett! So when I start hearing the squeaking noise I may only have a couple of hundreds miles before the metal starts eating into the disc?

Are you aware of any sensor/noise indicator to alert you when your pads are worn-out? Thanks

Thanks guys - I guess I'll have to keep resetting according to the manual around each time I change the oil

Does anyone know how to switch-off the service reminder from the steering wheel or is this something that only the dealer can do?

About an hour and a half - much less than it took me to reply to your post, sorry

I would check the clutch - sniff for a burnt clutch, cheek for slippage. Other than that 2.4 is a wonderful machine.

If you rotate frequently - e.g. whenever you change summer/winter tires - the difference in tread wear front/back will not be significant and you won't notice under/oversteer, just a progressive lack of grip, down to the level when you will feel it's safer to change all tires. They all say it's...

I had the squeak on the half leather seat. Not a big problem though, gets fixed easily. More annoyed of the wind noise, I would have expected it to be more silent given it's sold in the US as a luxury car.

The car is one year old, I ***ume this should be covered by the 3 yrs warranty? Thanks!
