Jetour T1 & T2 Owner Forum — South Africa
The floor.
The club's working forum. Questions answered by owners who've done it, not by marketing copy.
You can read every thread here, but posting isn't open yet. The conversation is running in the club WhatsApp group while the register is being built, and what gets worked out there is written up in Field Notes. Join the club and you'll be told the day this opens.

All-terrains on the stock Odyssey wheels?
Garden Route chapter. Considering a set of KO2s for the December Baviaanskloof run, wondering what the tar penalty is on the daily commute. Anyone done a long tar leg on ATs and regretted it?
Front Runner Slimline II — T2 fitment notes
Fitted the full-length last Saturday. The universal feet work on the T2 rails but the front pair needs a 4mm spacer — pictures + torque values in the thread. Wind noise below 120 negligible.
The pull-away hesitation — what actually fixed it for me
Two weeks of feeling like the last car off the line at every robot. Eco mode + Auto Hold engaged + a touch of throttle a half-second early — genuinely fixed it, not just "you get used to it." Writing it up since it comes up constantly.
Nothing in this category yet — start the first thread.
T2 warranty claim — rear diff clunk at 8k
Booked at Umhlanga last week. They wanted to charge diagnostic; I quoted the service book. Wrote it up — hoping this helps someone else. Full timeline inside.
Insurance carriers that actually cover off-road use
Shopping around after my carrier excluded gravel above 60kph in fine print. Anyone willing to share their policy wording? Especially for members doing chapter runs.
Wupperthal Mission — stayover contacts + tips
Coordinating the October convoy overnight — dropping names, contacts and a rough menu for the braai. If you've stayed before, corrections welcome.
Towbar plug doesn't fit — the 13-to-7-pin swap
Factory hitch ships EU-spec 13-pin; every SA trailer and caravan is 7-pin. A cheap adaptor plug from the usual sites does not reliably work — the dealer will swap the connector at no charge, ask for it before your first tow.
Wind noise above 120 — mine has it, some don't
Genuinely seems to vary car to car with identical accessories fitted. Roof rack and roof lights measurably add to it above 100–120. One member had it resolved at the dealer by a mirror adjustment — has anyone else tried that route first?
