@Evolution13 correct, I fully expect VED will be scrapped then the problem of untaxed vehicles will be resolved.

Maybe best not at a Main Dealer unless they have a Hunter Alignment system and employees trained to use it. Some will never have their vehicle in for alignment and others might when getting new tyres fitted. Or when have their tyres rotated. It is up to you. Regular tyre pressure checks and inspections of the tread wear in 'Simply Clever'.

Sorry yes, HM Treasury Consolidate Fund if England & in Scotland likewise to the Scottish Consolidate Fund. As far as the PPM coming in for BEV,s and PHEV,s and if by ANPR or the checks at MOT stations, then that can happen equally to ICE vehicles when ever a Government wants it to.

HI, recently purchased a VRS with 102K on it. Nice car, pleased with it. I do have a question about oil consumption. I checked the oil when purchased and was where it should be on the dipstick. After 2,000 miles it is only just touching the bottom of it. Too excessive for 2,000 miles? Also, I checked the manual but cannot seem to find the spec of oil in Halfords, or similar. What is the usual go to spec oil please in layman's language. Thank you in advance

Aha! newbie mistake. Cheers!

lol. Gandalf is Stg 3 now with a Garrett Powermaxx turbo 😁

I was wondering if anyone knows how often I need to do alignment on my 2024 4x4 Skoda? Do I need to go to a dealership because of 4x4 or it can be done in a local garage It is L&K with active suspension.

I don't think it could be temp related. It happens after short runs and long runs, and in any weather

Hi, You did (in the topic title) ;). But you didn't answer my question about temps.

@Breezy_Pete thank you for your effort! This morning, I ran a scan on a cold engine and got the usual cold-start behavior, and refused to clear: Immediate rescan: I cleared the code (P25AB00) on cold ignition. OBDeleven automatically rescanned the ECU a second later and caught the code again immediately. Checking the Freeze Frame data, I noticed a new timestamp and slightly changed parameters. I retried clearing it twice, and after each clear, a new timestamp and slightly changed parameters appeared. The 60-second delay: After failing twice, I turned the ignition OFF, waited a full 60 seconds, and turned the ignition back ON. Upon scanning, the frequency counter had increased to 2. I cleared the code, and this time it stayed gone! I then drove to work with no faults at all, and the Start-Stop system worked perfectly the entire way. A fresh scan upon arrival at work showed zero faults. I also checked the fuse box in the engine bay — I pulled out and reseated all fuses and relays to ensure good contact. All pins and terminals look completely spotless with zero visible signs of corrosion or oxidation.

400 hp?! Damned! 😃

Your title says octavia...I am afraid few people to noone can help you here, as it is a Kodiaq place...

Pay attention that your wife doesn't imagine there's a woman sleeping on the back seats of your car, once doors are closed! 🤣

Sorry, I thought I'd mentioned that. It's an IV

Hi, Could it be related to to current hi temps? Did you already notice this by cooler temps?

Thanks. The side skirts also help it bring it closer to the ground. No change in horsepower since the last update. Back then it was doing bout 200 hp, when i first got it. Now it's doing 400 hp 😁 That's not going to change anymore.

Top, dat ga ik morgen even testen. Bedankt voor jullie reacties!

Ja, je kunt het ook testen. Als je in de auto zit en je de achterklep open doet, dan merk je dat er meer bas ontstaat. Dat duid op de fase rotatie. Het verschil is enorm als je het stekkertje omdraait!

I just bought Skoda Rapid 2018 1.0tsi turbo, with radio swing but it doesnt have carplay or even bluetooth, any solutions or options to modify it to have that added?

Ja

Dankjewel voor je reactie. Ik wacht nog even af of ik een reactie krijg ... en anders misschien toch maar zelf aan de slag. Is het echt zo simpel om die 2 verdikkingen eraf te halen? En het heeft bij jou het geluid positief veranderd, waardoor het voller klinkt en ook meer bass geeft?

Hi, ik had dezelfde vraag. Maar helaas geen antwoord op gehad. Ik heb de lipjes met een mesje eraf gesneden en de stekker omgedraaid. Wereld van verschil in nog geen minuutje werk!

Hi, I'm also an owner of a Superb 1.4 iV facelift model (2021) with the Canton Audio .... The sound is ok, but I'm missing the bass, the 'warm' sound. I've checked the connector and there are 2 lugs unfortunately, so I'm not able to turn it around without modifications. I'm a little bit reserved in changing the connector, because I want to know if this will fix the sound for me. @spacelord , Do you still make and ship these adapters to the Netherlands? I'm currently not able to send a PM, because I'm new to this forum.

All went to plan (following this guide) until I snapped off the nipple on the DV valve! It's the Bosch one, looked a bit too shiny to be the original but who knows? Anyway that's VW hose clips for you, the devil's work. The rain didn't help, had to run for cover all the time. Fortunately I have Creation Motorsport about 30 mins away so will throw more cash at this crazy project, and get a new DV (they sell aluminium ones). Which spring should I put in it? It comes with three; my vrs is a stage one map but nothing else upgraded. Despite this I'm getting better at this ho ho

I'm not going to explain it further; you just need to think outside the box a bit. It might well be a load of *******s, and then again it might not. I merely offered another viewpoint; the technology is there, and it is now well proven that ANPR can identify the car. All that is now required is to network the ANPR data, and the government agency has all the info it needs to implement PPM. Join up the dots and see what you make of it. Revenue raised by LEZ, stays with the local authorities and should be used to improve local transport. Revenue from speeding fines goes directly to the government's HM Treasury Consolidated Fund.
