I bought my 06 MCS JCW in Feb. Love the car. I had noticed a few little issues that i was going to have them check out when I took the car in for it's first service. I thought that the transmission was a little loud at idle. I also had a pretty load whine on occaision ( Not the supercharger!) as well as having the Heater go bezerk on me once. Bezerk meaning that the fan went to full and all the lights went on and the temperature indicator went blank and none of the controls would work! The heater returned to normal after I stopped and restarted the car. There were also a few workmanship issues that I felt should be addressed as well. A little hardly noticable paint issue under the spoiler and the mini badge on the steering wheel not being attached.

Well yesterday my exhaust sound doubled in decibles. I called the dealer and made an apppointment for today - ahead of the first service.

It turns out that they will be doing the following work

Replacing the flywheel

They also claim that the tranny sound was due to having the incorrect oil in the limited slip differential. they will replace and retest. they may end up replacing the tranny

Exhaust coupler was defective and cracked. That too will be replaced.
The car will also be going into the paint shop to fix the minor defect on the paint.

They found a service notice on the heater and have added an additional ground strap.

They are replacing the airbag module on the steering wheel.

Sould take about a week all in.

Yikes! I hope this is not indicative of my future with this car!
