    Rex Drive Train error; High coolant temperature

    Did a longer trip, 400km, and burned 3 tanks of petrol without getting the fault again. Maybe the new SW, I001-16-03-504, actually did do something :-) High coolant temperature only appear when the rex is stopped, this time it got up to 114°C, I assume it's because the electric coolant pump is...

    Rex Drive Train error; High coolant temperature

    I probably should have written "high load", i.e. when the rex is struggling to keep up. After I did the post, I have become unsure if the high coolant temperature only appear when the rex is turnes off again. Guess that stopping the rex may also turn off the coolant pump? Will have a closer...

    Rex Drive Train error; High coolant temperature

    As many others we have been struggling with the standard rex "drive train error - have it checked by serivce" fault, it seems to pop up after +30min rexing at high speed. Now warranty is running out, so I intend to insist the dealer fix the problem. We have had the SW updated to I001-16-03-504...

    How do I code "Turn on tail lights with DRL"

    Thanks again. My car do not have DRL options under Menu > settings > light, so that may be a country specific option or an update feature. But no worries; I want the lamps on ;-) God job with reverse engineering of the codes. I think you are right that it is not really that dangerous as long as...

    How do I code "Turn on tail lights with DRL"

    I would very much like to get the tail lights on with DRL. Dealer had no clue how to do this when I got the car :shock: , but I have since learned that dealers are coding this feature. I have worked with this parameter from the coding cheat list: Turn On Tail Lights with DRLs: 3062 ...

    Huge Electric Bill - REX

    Preconditioning w. battery heating can be quite expensive. On my 32 amp EVSE, the car periodically pulls 4-5 kW and use about 4 kWh during the last couple of hours on a cold morning. I do not need extra range, so now I just start the preheating from my phone 5-10 minutes before departure which...

    Update on KLE replacement problem

    Unfortunately I can not get numbers out of my EVESE at the moment, but I do suspect I have reduced charging rate. The car was produced in November and hence with the new KLE, but I am not sure the software supports 32amp charging. My SW is I001-14-11-502. Does this SW version support 32amp...

    Is it possible to retrofit 6AK "ConnectedDrive Services"?

    Having taken delivery of my Solar Orange BEV on November 24th, I am a very happy boy :) I have found, however, that I would like some of the services included in the 6AK services. Anyone know if it is just a software upgrade or the Connecteddrive feature requires new hardware?
