24hrs of ownership and problems hahaha
So it’s been 24hrs of taking ownership of the PUK aka the beast. Passenger rear windows intermittent. Central locking from key fob stopped working and most recent, radio stopping from being turned above 20 with the engine running.
Any ideas on why I’m getting low power mode on stereo while the engine is running?
If so return it to the dealer for diagnostics & rectification.

So…. Don’t berate me. Not bought from a dealer. It’s in good condition tho has a few service stamps and the seller has put the latest oil pump on and all belts.
It’s showing no warning lights. Will it show up codes then if I invest in a decent code reader programmer?

So… fixed the key fob issue….but found
So, I found the green and white wires and the shrink wrap fell off, none of the three wires were connected at all. I have noticed that it looks like there’s been water in the cills. I also found a dodgy looking connection behind the passenger seat. Can anybody shed any light on what them wires are and should I remove the blue tape.
Under front passenger carpet is wet, I can’t find standing water but spongey stuff underneath the carpet is sodden. Where can I find these sunroof drain tubes? I’ve read some posts on a pillars and seals but confused.
Thanks in advanced

Still, that is where they are….
And why they can leak water in to the cabin….
My tip, buy a canister sika 291 kit and seal your sunroof completely…
Sunroofs on this model, or better the frame mechanisms isn’t very strong and reliable, so a risk by itself for trouble and the sunroof opens almost nothing…quite iseless imho…
Tip: the search button above, will give you all the answers you need… put some time in searching thereBest regards
