 Additional Information

One of the four preheating elements has an issue, but this has no impact on the car’s performance. It is only used for cold starts, which have not been problematic. This issue was present when we bought the car and we did not repair it because it is difficult to fix (if not done properly, the whole engine needs to be opened) and it is not necessary. This may cause an orange engine light to appear, but it is not a problem at all.
