With an Elroq 60, the lesser charge means in NMC technology, you'd have free space (I imagine similar idea as for old vs new e-Golfs). For Skoda as a manufacturer, the less-dense LFP technology most likely utilizes that theoretical void. The LFP offering is also seen in Tesla model 3 etc. I found it preferred, as it is less strict on the charging practices (takes 100% more frequently and by recommendation), and also seems to be a technology which is less prone to fire hazard. So far really chuffed with ours for even long journeys, even if driving an Octavia is a good thing.

Hi Buddy. Good to see you here. So a Superb choice hopefully for you. "A lot of car for not much cash" was Which Mag verdict this last year's guide. My Octavia estate is a bit slim in the hips compared with my old Mondeo Mk.3 estate. Your diesel will pick up some high re-fuelling prices but my PHEV Mk iV came with a Covid infection and fragile tech that your diesel is blissfully ignorant of. Enjoy your old school car!

Hi Guys. Had a guy bang on the front door saying my hazards were on.Went out and unlocked and hazards stopped.Connected my smart charger this morning and it said battery was at 34%. Car starts easily. Anyone had this or any ideas? By the way 2022 VRS

Gearbox or differential bearing

If you still have these, I'll take the vents please Andy.

Sorry very late with reply. Wiring to work the unit should be the same, but unless you have the tmc/gps and the maxidot display, it won't fuction correctly. Also, without the skoda amplifier in the boot/parcel shelf, it'll sound awful. I have this in my superb and in the MK1 Octavia, and in that it's terrible.

One would certainly hope so, but as we already know, they don't; journalism is rife with inaccuracies, and used in clickbaits and draws people in.

Not a problem, so they were welded into place and not clamped?

Anyone compiling stories or involved in research surely asks which particular vehicles it is. Maybe EV only models, or does it involve EV,s that can also come as a model with a ice or hybrid engine.

Hi can anyone verify the method of resetting DSG transmission? Or is this even possible? Thanks .

Hi, 0339.323 installed successfully yesterday. I'll check if this solves the problem...

VW were developing a 10 speed DSG a decade ago which would basically be like a CVT. (DQ511). Honda was doing a 11 speed triple clutch a decade ago and binned that.

Sorry it has taken a while to check. It is not good news, the 14" wheel does not fit over the Mondeo calliper, even with the 25mm spacers which I have fitted.

The 5x4mm is presumably 3-phase, 400V.

Thanks binx, it's the 7 speed so that's good to know.

The OP also asked for typical mpg. According to the MySkoda app my 2024 Karoq 1.5TSi DSG has returned 45.2mpg over the last 30 days. That has been a mix of motorways, main & minor roads & Cotswold hills. Very little town driving. Total mileage in that time around 1400 miles.

That kind of makes sense; it must be to do with the way the cars start and stop. We all know that they have tremendous torque right from the start; even the mild hybrid Qashqai had that, and we also know that the regen can also be very powerful, so unless the driver adjusts their style of driving, the passengers can experience lots of whiplash moments, especially in town driving. I know from my car that my wife can suffer from sidewise motion, as she has zero sense of how to react when taking a corner or rounding a bend, for example, and sorts of rolls with the car, whereas anyone who has driving experience automatically stiffens themselves instinctively accordingly. The author of that article suggested that could be the quietness of the car; that sucks to me, as there are simply loads of very quiet cars. Even diesel cars can be very hushed, as witnessed by the number of diesel-powered luxury cars around.

Supposedly VW had a program to design a new torque converter gearbox platform to replace DSG but canned it as EV legislation meant ICE cars have a limited production lifetime. Interestingly, Skoda just launched the Slavia in India with an 8 speed torque converter auto in the 1 litre, but they've stayed with DSG for the 1.5. Touch wood, our experience of DSG in Tiguan and Karoq has been fine, but I do think they'd be a 'nicer' drive with TC autos.

If it’s 6 speed dsg it should be due a gearbox service soon. Interval is every 40,000 miles. (7 speed dsg is “sealed for life”) Check the service history when you get it to make sure it had the first one. If not I’d get one done asap for peace of mind and worth asking to see if the dealer will cover the cost as it missed the first one. Expect to pay around £300 to £400 at an independent and a bit more at agent. Otherwise so long as it’s had all its other servicing then it should be all good.

Dogbone one at gearbox watch the bolts. On my sons there are two but one is longer than the other. If you mix them up you can wreck the steering rack which is above. Top ones look ok but difficult to tell. Maybe replace gearbox one first and see if it make a difference. Alasdair

Younger daughter does not like me using powerful Regen. Scenic has 4 levels i can use. So when she goes in the car I stick it mild or mid Regen and just leave it there. Hard to do when so use to doing lots of variable Regen. It can add 10% to the range.

Question for you electric car owners/drivers: have any of your passengers ever complained about motion sickness? Why electric cars might be making some passengers feel sick - BBC News

Hello from me! I drive a Skoda Fabia Mk3 Colour edition with 1.0L 95HP TSI engine. I have minimal knowledge on how to modify my car but everything else with maintenance I have a good idea on it. I would love to learn about modifying for a smoother ride and also the looks aswell. Thank you, Boifreson.

I'm guessing that's 1.0mm2.
