Been into Skoda dealership twice and it keeps detaching - so intermittent fails to detect when it's raining. Anyone else had this issue?

Is the bulb for these strip lights something that can be done by Halfords?

But these batteries are a tiny fraction of the capacity of those fitted to EVs so the actual risk is also a tiny fraction, so are you advocating that same rules should also apply to them?

The do do something as we would arrange these power tools with biggish Li batteries terminating in Gernany. Tortuous jortney as getting past Iran, Russia cannot be easy. Kazakhstan, Caspian sea, Azabajan, Georgia, Black Sea and into Romania just would guess but very convoluted and was about 3 times more than sea ie $7k or more a box but the Chinese goods are oft going south of South Africa and raking about 2 weeks longer. Arctic route would be a great time and cost saver. Norway / Sweden preparing to open a Barents sea port to link in to European rail network.

They are taking the Pith!. Totally. A full service is not required at 12 months / 9,400 miles, Fixed Service Regime. The car left the factory on Variable / Flexible servicing. If it was reset to Fixed then an Oil and Filter change is all that is required. Or Interim. Oil & Filter and a look see. Not a 2nd year / Major service. That is Oil & Filter, Pollen filter and look see, and brake fluid changed if you follow their Schedule / Advice. Oil & Inspection Year 1 or Year 2, or both years. Oil & Inspection Service year 3 & extended scope. Haldex Service year 3 / 30,000 miles. Spark Plugs year 4 / 40,000 miles. They will up-sell AC servicing year 2. DSG DQ381 @ 80,000 miles or sooner. Be sure the filter is replaced. HAVE the Air Filter inspected every service, not left till 6 years / 60,000 miles. Lazy barstewards.

Considering they originate from China, is there a direct rail/road connection from here to there?

I have a 2025 Kodiaq SE L diesel. The first service is due at the end of next month by which time I will have done approx 2000 miles. My dealer recommends a Skoda approved full service to maintain the warranty at a cost of £412. Seems very expensive to me. What are the experiences of other new owners?

Car was MOT'd this morning. Passed with no advisories. 😁

Plus 1 for low oil. That sounds like a "dry clunk" to my ears. Could also be dry CV joints.

Thanks. Oil has been changed recently and is currently just seeping out of the fill hole. Both drive shafts are new from wheel to flange.

Thanks Gary, I would imagine that at 6 months the battery should be in a good state, im probably over thinking this. What other documents should I I look for as I don’t think the car will have had its first service ?

My Enyaq was also 6 months old when I bought it and although I didn't see the SOH certificate prior to buying it came with all the other documents. These are all alsoheld electronically through the dealership website.

If the shaft seals are leaking it may be low on oil hence the clunk. I would get gearbox oil level checked and also the condition of it first. Could also be worn cv joints. Alasdair

Hi. I have a Skoda Octavia 2006 2,0 tdi. It has just begun to have a sticking clutch pedal, like if i pump it a few times it will stay down. Do somebody know what is the cause of this problem? Greetings from Denmark

Hi been to Skoda and purchased new antenna booster tried to fit new on at rear of windscreen different fittings Skoda told there are 2 antenna boosters in car 1 for FM and 1 for dab and FM 2 does anybody know where dab 1 is located as I can only see 1

Are you getting 12v at N522 valve with ignition on. Just wondering if its a bad fuse or relay problem. Read the valve is supplied with 12v at ignition and ecu connects earth to operate it. Alasdair

The car is a 2023 Karoq with the 1.5 engine so I assume the gearbox is the DQ200 dry clutch. I am a DSG newby so don't know any more tech details. Mileage is 11000.

Yes, adaptations and coding via OBD11 pro subscription needed

Thanks! That looks great! Did you have to do coding to the car?

We see oft in airfreight logistics. I would hope the 30% SoC test is done but I fear not as oft it should. Should push much of freight on to rail and truck rather than air and sea but that is not happening perhaps ad myxh as it should. I must have at least 50 items with Lithium batteries I reckon, maybe a lot more. Must do a run to the recycling centre rather than leave devices hanging around.

Hi, I think it really depends on the country and the level of map coverage. Today on my trip, I saw this kind of magic for the first time. I was guided in exactly the right lane. And of course, for the first time, I enjoyed the automatic acceleration to the newly recognized speed limit and slowing down according to the road signs.

Bumper off for a good look and possible reservoir replacement. "Dramatic leak" suggests more than a misplaced hose. Have a look at this; https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/147230-mk1-fabia-5-litre-washer-bottle-conversion/?hl=%20litre%20%20washer%20%20bottle#entry2798069

Received my first delivery with batteries included with a label like this.
