Front charging point / cigaratte lighter - fuse always blowing.

A year in to Evoque ownership and so far so good. I do have a problem with the front charging socket though, which I only use it for charging iphones on the move.

No matter what I use in there, after a month or so, the fuse pops.

I have tried about 5 different chargers now, and this always happens.

The charging socket in the armrest storage box has never had this issue.

I have spoken to the dealer once, but they said it was my chargers, and gave me a load of free fuses.

So, has anyone else had this problem?

no not a problem here

On top of of all this the thing broke down this morning, limp mode all the way to the dealer - left it there, they were about as enthusiastic as a monkey with aids with regards to fixing it. Still no call, so I can assume I won't get it back tonight.

And it's going back in two weeks for new bushes as it squeaks over the speedbumps.

It's not a car I will be coming back to, and to be honest I can't wait to get to the end of the PCP deal.

looks like you have a rubbish dealer there. if there is an electrical fault on the charging point maybe the
computer has reacted and switched it into limp mode. I had gearbox failure warning a couple of times but ok now, just a bit worried cause the warranty is nearly out. good luck with the dealer, if not try another one.

Sorted now - they couldn't find anything specific, battery was low, so they topped that up, and installed 2 software updates, and could not replicate the fault again. So we shall see....!

Thanks
