Bought car from dealer in abu dhabi - uae. At 1500km the cooling fan wouldn't turn off even I switch off the car... So I was obliged to disconnect the battery. The problem was the relay. At 2000km the roof hatch was leaking!.. The parts are not available with dealer; it took them 2 weeks to order from germany!.. *Tr
