1. Windsor EV showing "Battery subscription expired"

Step-by-step fix:

2. AC compressor humming loudly at idle

Step-by-step fix:

1. Refrigerant under-charge — first sign is a high-pitched hum at AC-on.
2. Top-up at MG workshop (~₹1,200, 30 mins).
3. Don't keep driving with this — compressor seizure costs ₹35K to fix.

3. Charging slower than expected from DC fast charger

Step-by-step fix:

1. Windsor's CCS2 inlet has a temperature sensor that limits charging speed above 35°C ambient.
2. Park in shade for 10 mins before fast-charging, especially in May-June.

4. Power-tailgate not opening with foot gesture

Step-by-step fix:

1. Foot sensor is calibrated for height 165-175cm.
2. If you're shorter/taller, use the boot-handle button.
3. If sensor fails entirely for everyone, the bumper module is faulty — warranty replacement.

5. Range estimate jumping +/- 40km randomly

Step-by-step fix:

1. Windsor's BMS recalibrates after every full charge + full discharge.

If a fault repeats after the steps above, if any dashboard error code is showing, or if you notice any unusual smell, heat, or sound from the battery pack — stop driving. MG Windsor EV battery and motor faults compound: a minor BMS imbalance left untreated can kill the whole pack inside 6 months.
