Thanks a million for getting back to me, I have the maxidot and the amp at the parcel shelf. I bought a DX unit cheap enough locally but the actual plug that goes into the back is different to the one currently on the loom. If I get a chance when I get home I can send a photo.

There seems to be a couple of other threads about this steering bolt issue, not surprisingly as a range of models are affected: I've just put my VIN (2018 Golf 7.5 GTI) into the main VW website as 17016R may affect me, and I just get red text saying it's not a recognised VIN: So I phoned my local VW main dealer, who checked and advised there was nothing outstanding at the moment, but if that changed I would be contacted. Not completely inspired with confidence. Gaz

I ran the OBD11 again this morning. It shows the exhaust as a passive fault with no error code - photo attached. I emailed the results to myself before clearing the codes. Nothing on them for the exhaust, they mostly relate to the doors! Any ideas??

I've just seen you can get MQB to PQ steering wheel decoder/emulator for a few quid on AliExpress. Might try something newer. I can imagine it's a faff though.

No surprise there, even less range if using the heating etc, far worse than it us with an ICE vehicle which use wasted energy for heating. . Why are you surprised by it, you always come across as well seasoned EV owner and driver of many years standing.

Welcome to the forum. Best say what car, what miles, what engine it has. So is it a petrol engine? Has it been serviced yet? EDIT, I see, 1.0 Fabia. So a TSI or is it a MPI? . Best have a different dealership deal with the issue. a very obvious Warranty issue, Spark Plugs, Turbo Accuator, Software issue or what ever. A Mod can move this to the Fabia Mk4 section.

Tory Boy Andrew Bowie MP thinks that the next Elected Conservative & Unionist Government can impose New Nuclear plants on Scotland. About time if there is to be New Nuclear in Scotland that they get building it. Start at Dumfries House, Balmoral Estate, Castle of May and any other Royal Residences. KC3 can just give his permission & lets see what the Local Authority Planning make of that. In England Jacob Rees Mogg's Estate looks like an ideal location for a Small Nuclear Modular installation. Maybe a AI Data Centre as well.

Wow first journey in one of the EVs in the cooler period. Mych less range and lower energy efficiency. Hine to look for a newer EV perhaps. Will be happier when daughter has her home charger installed which is due soon.

Indeed, but the reason why I commented on it in the first place is that A) it is not a PSA on TV where they normally show warnings/advice such as this, B) it is extremely early for such warnings and was possibly so because of the real threat to global oil because of the Donalds' illegal war, and C) it appeared on a site that I just happened to be one of long standing local moderators on, and this is the very first time that such a warning has appeared, and hence why I thought that EVr's might like to know.

Bought June 26, manufactured march 24 Has had 3 episodes of the well documented (I have now found), the intermittent fault which causes limp mode. Still in warranty went to have fault diagnosed, no code so no repair. Only way to get it sorted is to drive in limp mode in traffic or on fast roads to service centre! Leave running there.(Not recorded on car history) .Not an answer! Dangerous! Anyway just wondering if anyone has succeeded in fixing the problem. Thank you

Cairngorm Mountain showed snow yesterday at the CAIRNGORM sign and somebody said 'First Snow of Winter'. But it would be the first snow of Autumn 2026, Surely they should know the seasons. Frosty this morning and lovely blue cloudless sky.

No offence meant but if that's your idea of high mileage, it's very different to my experience !

Yeah, from what I gather, I'm not missing much other than key recognition, but it just seems a shame how weak the Infotainment system is in an otherwise excellent car.

I live in a semi-rural village & so drive lots of small lanes with overhanging vegetation. In the 15 months I've owned mine I've had a few warnings come up, but no actuation. The rear seems much more sensitive & has slammed on several times when I've reversed too close to a nettle for the car's liking. That is quite alarming because it feels like you've actually hit something.

I've had my 22 plate for over a year now and no phantom braking but the 19 plate one did it once on a heavily wooded road where I thought it may have been a bird or something that flew close enough for it to register in the system.

Storm cycle in Atlantic distorted by Super El Nino. Been no proper Hurricanes this autumn. Wet late Autumn predicted for Europe then snowy Feb like 62 / 63 maybe.

I gave up trying to be primary user and funnily enough I do not have any problems driving the car .

I've owned a 2024 Karoq for 7 months & driven it for over 4k miles on all types of roads with no phantom braking.

Did anyone have any thoughts about this? Škoda Support won't even tell me why they suspect it is hardware-related and are insisting I take it to a Service Partner.

Newbie here, with this skoda being owned for ~6 so far, and went 30k already. Car milage is 84k atm, pics are ofcourse related. Came here for general maintainance advice (I am changing oils every 10k). EA888.3 (european, facelift with 7g, 272hp). Im thinking of going stage 1 at first, and reliability is most important. I plan to drive around 60k km/year, and wish for car to last five years. Can I achieve that with minimum stage 1, like 300hp max to keep air to fuel ratio factory set, or can I aim for regular 350? I have googled that during stage 1 AFR is changed, and because of that there soot appears in oil, that degrades the engine faster. How much of that is true? Thanks for reply in advance! Any other advices for maintainance are welcome too, car doesnt consume oil (atleast for now, but I hope for futher 200k to be like that, will see how it will last).

Yes, as we head into winter. Around the time we get annual storms that bring down power lines in some rural or not even that rural areas. Charley says PSA films on the TV have been around since before I was born so it's nothing new. Here's a link to the Ofgem account. They often post helpful tips. https://x.com/ofgem

I am thinking 1.5 but seem to do lots of short drives at the minute. Some suggest the 1.0 as a better option. I will looking at an estate over the weekend - i need space for the dog!

Mine is january 2025. I am waiting for next week inspection.

Is it Motorway or Highway / Freeway as they are talking US EPA ESTIMATE figures, so if it is tested. Has it not been tested for the EPA results? with no emissions and no difference of a US or Imperial gallon. Highway / Freeway Speeds. Estimated to achieve 400 miles under EPA test and 450 under WLTP test. Well the World Wide Harmonised Light Vehicle testing matters not one bit in the majority of the world. It is designed to allow European vehicles to have fictional test results. Simple will be to run the Jag, Rolls Royce , BMW, Mercedes, Lucid, Tesla etc in convoy. So a Jag 01 & a 118 kW/h battery. getting 400 miles. = 3.4 miles to the kWh. *Mercedes EQS Saloon battery 122 kW/h usable.*
