2014 Fabia TSI 94,000 miles. Few weeks ago came out from work and engine mgmt light went on. No issue for good nr of miles but then misfire started accelerating / hills. Then misfiring on idle quite badly so got it to garage. They borescoped / pressure tested and reckoned some carbon cylinder 4 pressure 80 so said valve job - £2k estimate. Drove it home to ponder - all misfire gone! - for 3 weeks. Interwebs thinks got lucky and bit of carbon causing loose valve seal dislodged. This time much less misfire - but there in 3/4 esp with hill but no idle misfire. Driving and this time ESC / ESP / TMPS lights - with bigger judder - but these clear with engine switch on / off and smooth drive except accelerating 3/4 gear. Have booked in for review. Garage think because under load its the valve. Interwebs thinks this time more likely ignition related - spark plug cables, spark plug, coil pack, maybe dirty throttle or sensor fault. Thoughts appreciated!

Could be failed turbo seals and oil is ending up in intercooler plus being burnt . Check its not full of oil. Had similar on old volvo. Seals failed and was burning oil and intercooler was pretty full. Used to smoke like mad after idling for a while. Alasdair

If it helps, I found someone who logged their TSI here The OP also had some issues, but claimed that during the logging, the engine worked fine and values look OK.. so it should provide some data for reference.

Welcome to the forum. Is it a 1.5 TSI ACT Front Wheel drive? If a DQ381 then according to Skoda /VW it is at 80,000 miles and the filter not til 2nd service & 160,000 miles. But best go with 40,000 miles, and the filter then and at each service. AI has it wrong according to the VW Group Schedule but for once wrong for the better. IMO.

@pab567 May know a way around your issue Welcome to the forum btw 👋

Need advice on dsg service schedule for my KODIAQ SE DRIVE TSI S-A 2021 plate

^^^ & they do Premium, Performance & Racing car oils as well as perfectly good regular oil.

It has changed with the 1.5 TSI. Can be Fixed or Variable / Flexible. 18,000-20,000 miles / 24 months. (But if running mainly on Electric and seldom firing up the engine best stay on fixed.) DQ400-e DSG is an Oil & Filter change at 40,000 miles or sooner.

Same happened on my Octavia but in my case actuator was sticking and causing overboost randomly. I lubricated it and its been fine since.

If its any help I have been using comma oil for years from tractor/forklifts to fabia/octavia and many more cars. Never had a problem and it lasts. Generally a reasonable price and readily available. Alasdair

2026, who's still got one? I have been seeing a few knocking about on the roads, got loads of information from you guys, the remap did wonders!

Hi. Are the fixed or can the variable system be used? Were fixed on the Octavia and Golf PHEV with the 1.4 engine, wondering whether that's changed. Thanks

Do you have TPI no for that?

Hello everyone, my name is Winston and I live in Sydney, Australia. I recently took delivery of a 2024 Octavia RS wagon. I have been a happy Skoda owner for over 10 years. I also have a 2007 Roomster and a 2014 Yeti. Luv 'em to bits.

Hi We got 2024 kamiq on Saturday. Husband tinkering with infocenter settings and somehow he has managed to delete the navigation button on the infocenter display. We used android auto to drive home but would like the option to use the skoda navigation is case the phone is stolen or lost. I have spent all morning trying to get it back but have had no luck. . I have tried going to the widgets but no nav shows to add. Tried forgetting phone just in case this overrides anything but that didn't work. Any suggestions gratefully received Many thanks

Is this the Skoda tablet-holders? I have one and the head restraints didn’t need removing, just pushes between the two poles. Get your viewer some headphones; downside of it is the sound is right behind the driver’s head.

Hi, When I drive for about 10 minutes at 230 km/h, the oil temperature goes up to 137 °C with an outside temperature of 26 °C. In my opinion, the oil temperature is still quite high when I compare it to my Passat B8 2017 with the same engine. I also noticed that the ECU is reducing the speed when the oil temperature goes above 135 °C. I think there is still an issue with the oil temperature, but I can live with the current situation because nobody drives at over 230 km/h for a long time with diesel prices these days. On a normal drive between 150–180 km/h, the oil temperature does not exceed 120 °C. Based on the input I got from other forums and Facebook groups, the problem could be related to one of the following: - Oil cooler - Dirt in the radiators between the AC radiator and the coolant radiator, where the shutters were. In the future, I will probably clean the radiators and change the oil cooler when I change my oil next time. I will give feedback if I make progress with these.

look for the F&R sway bar links, but mainly look for all the rear subframe bushing, I suspect for some multilink arm

A Dolomite Sprint, just around the corner from my house: Gaz

A question that I can't answer I'm afraid. She has had it serviced regularly by the Skoda dealer she bought it from, so who knows? My experience of main dealers of several ilks is not good..... Charging for parts and not actually fitting them. I've looked up BOSCH dealers in her neck of the woods and come up with Deepcut Garage - anyone had any experience with them?

Sounds a ridiculous price for Coil & Leads. Have we to assume the 4 spark plugs are good and have been inspected and not needing replaced?

^^^ VW are the masters of screwing down the cost to them, and never knowingly 'over spec' consumables.
