To a certain degree we have all been guinea pigs.

Agreed. At the moment, for the majority of owners it seems to be just a check engine light, and the inconvenience of a visit to the dealer.

As yet it hasn't escalated to the level that Mercedes had with Delphi injectors on its BlueEfficiency diesel models around 2010/11 - these had a huge failure rate leading to massive back-orders from dealers. Made worse by the fact that M-B's policy was to only replace the individual failed injectors, not all of them at the same time, meaning some owners had multiple failures and dealer visits over a period of months.

Let's hope this doesn't happen with the VEA motor!
