I was hoping that you wouldn't ask that as I have absolutely no ideaGeoff Lebowski wrote: MG - what\'s a waterless wash??!!
The valeters come to clean the director's cars (Audis) ever Friday and I plonked mine in front and asked them to clean it. Big mistake!
I would like them to steam clean the interior but will likely look elsewhere.
I didn't take any notice of what they actually did so can't say what they used as a substitute for water.
I don't seem to share your problems so either I am completely insensitive to such things or perhaps your car has been cleaned with some unsuitable solvent at some juncture?The soft-touch plastics - things like the door grab handles, the electric window switch console in the drivers door. Both front grab handles have lots of this missing, exposing the harder plastic underneath. You can scrape it away with your fingernail - which I\'m tempted to do and then give them a good wash in soapy water. All this soft touch stuff is sticky too. Even the radio volume knob is suffereing.
Speaking of costs, one question I failed to ask was about the dual mass flywheel.
How exactly do they fail?
Is it that common or say a fail \'garunteed\' at X thousand miles?
When it fails (or should I say \'if\' it fails) what are the symptoms?
I had mine done at 120,000 miles. It hadn't failed but was just about done, as was the clutch. No symptoms whatsoever - it was a misdiagnosed failed injector.
