Come back at 40,000, or say 140,000. I think the complex procedure is about maintaining the long service intervals. Eg 300,000km belt change interval. I would agree that this will probably work in most cases, but its a bit of a botch job. Cam timing may drift a bit due to inherent tension imbalance between the cam pulleys and crank etc. Also, by loosening the pulleys and tightening the belt before unlocking the cams, you are ensuring the tension is consistent or at least correctly distributed around its length. By doing this, they can run the cam belt out to 300K no worries, probably even longer. Remember many cam belts had 100k or even 60K intervals (thinking Opel Corsa from early 2000s.) Probably more importantly, change the idler. The bearing in the idler is the most common failure I have seen. Obviously junks the belt thus engine when they fail

TDI is VW 508 00 / 509 00. Same 0w 20 FS IV, but VW 508 00 is TSI Fixed or Variable. TDI VW 509 00 is even if on Fixed Oil & filter service. Same with the 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III. 504 TSI fixed or Variable. But 507 00 is a TDI even if Fixed Oil & Filter servicing.

Ah yes, the was suggested by ChatGPT, I think. I ran some tests a few weeks ago and monitored the various temperature readings - the results seemed consistent with it just running cool or over-cooling, rather than a faulty coolant sensor. My local garage were asked to check/clear this too, but whether they did or not... no idea. I'll run some fuel pressure tests later today and see if that gives any useful clues. There were no relevant fault codes. When they very first had the car in for diagnostics (early June), they detected a single underboost error, but that hasn't returned - either in the additional tests they did that week, or in the few months since I had the car back. Bit of a longshot, but I'm wondering if that was a sign that the DV+ was starting to stick? Would've been about 9 months after it was fitted.

if 88 in xour nick suggest you are born in 1988, than you are to aged to have stiff car suspension. it will become unconfortable. if you like it, go on, aif not, stay with basic B4 which are like OEM.

The only person a locking wheel nut/bolt stops, is you. I had a rounded key on my first car, and sorted the issue with a blank socket and a mallet. I've kept the lockers on all cars since, as the wheels don't come off very regularly, but different designs have varying levels of usability. Usually, the BMW/VAG ones are pretty good - but the two-piece design, like on Ford, are horrendous.

VW Specification: VW 508 00 (petrol/diesel dual standard for 0W-20) or traditional VW 507 00 for long-life 5W-30/0W-30. if you living ih cold climate zone use 0w20, if you live in hot climate, than 0w30. manufacturer, i like Shell (Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV-L 0W-30) Shell, Castrol, Aral, Liqui moly...

What you need?

Not for many years as have not had an ICE vehicle. When my son went from ICE to EV about a year ago we tended to go to MFG stations and they seem to get the future as they oft seem to have EV chargers and petrol pumps. Do go in to the Tesco fuel station but only to get a meal deal but they always ask if I have got fuel and I can so no each time. Our Tesco is quite a poor one as no EV charging there and Sainsburys seems to be getting the jump on Tescos and I expect Tesco to lose a lot of customers due to their lack of foresight.

Hi @vmt, We're you able to get closure on this topic? Facing the same "issue" and I'm not sure what to do. Car has 30k km. Thanks

The below foam and jack kit can be ordered for the Fabia MK4 from any VAG parts department by quoting the relevant OEM part number, ie. 6VA093860A. The VAG parts department can confirm whether this is correct for your vehicle by reference to the car's VIN number. The Czech price on "skoda eshop cz" is 2079CZK which is about £74. The below foam and jack kit uses a 185/65R15 5.5Jx15 ET40 5/100 57.1 spare wheel.

How do I figure that out?

I know about that, hence my surprise that you actually admitted to using Tesco fuel after you posted this.

Interesting, how have you done that?

Turn your cornering lights back on and see if that brings them back. My Sharan has AFS lights and when one of the static cornering lights bulbs was out it disabled the AFS headlight function. Also, there is definitely and off switch for AFS as I have the option on the display to disable bend lighting, so there must be an equivalent VCDS option somewhere.

Hi, are you still active here or on the YouTube video? I am looking for a way to connect with you.

Nope sorry @Gaz ... It's actually not a bad drive, is from part of the Stellantis group and has lots of little 'easter egg' (unfortunately not of the chocolate variety) motifs all round it harking back to it's WWII forefathers. Enough of a clue??

Is this a LHD car on UK motorways?
