Hi Neil.

I'm sitting on 136800km and all good. 135000km Service done and Dealer did a software upgrade . Runs even better now

On next service ask if they will be doing the software upgrade

It isnt serviced at the dealer.

He intends to drive it till the wheels fall off so service history will be worthless
Could this be sarcasm?

I am. I’m open to other options but there’s little that compares as a package

The software upgrade relates to the engine management system, 4wd system, ABS, EBD etc. Probably some Bug fixes such as the oil light sensor issue, Heating element sensor software . It seems my Duster's motor seems to be running better.

Mines using a lot less fuel lately. Maybe they did it at the 90kkm service.

I have an itch to replace my wife's polo with a Duster.

Two 4x4s in the garage never hurt anyone.
