If the electrics haven't been too molested I'd go for the 2019 car. It'll have been regularly serviced and the mileage will be low enough such that there are unlikely to be issues such as prop shaft doughnuts on the way out etc.

Buying it but really giving money to charity and getting the car because he was so generous.

Has the DSG had an oil and filter change yet?

We need to know what system you have. I can't remember how to bring up the system info.

Strange, I have the same version of the app (on the iPhone). Here’s a screenshot

First time ŠKODA owner here. Went all the way to Colchester from our home by Loch Ness to pick up a Octavia diesel estate which was pre registered with 31 miles on it. It had the premium winter pack which I really wanted as handy up here in the cold weather. Hope to get a few tips on getting the most out of the car. First impressions are really good. Great quality and drives really well and averaging almost 70 mpg on a run. Martin 👍🏻

I have noticed when moving slowly or coming to a stop i can hear in the background the DSG slightly noisey. Best way i can describe it is like a bearing graunchy dry loose worn cogs kinda sounds. It’s quite low but i notice it and it’s annoying. I feel like i’m driving an old car. Is this normal? The car has done 67k miles.

It is not common problem, try hard reset of multimedia with long press power button until logo show up. If still not working, try reset to factory settings whole unit. And last step would be to check with diagnostic tool for faults or posssible wrong coding/adaptations.

Hi again! Just letting you know I ordered a part corresponding with 6Q1 423 893M and 6Q1 423 893H and it worked out. It was 16mm. Thanks for your help Pete

Well he looks a complete **** and exactly the sort of person I thought might be stupid enough to have bought it... 🤣

Could you manage to solve the issue at the end? Just asking as I have the same issue after 200k and bought a really cheap one from Autodoc and after fitting it the problem constantly comes up at every start and never goes away. Thinking of getting the pricier one (grey one what it originally had) if that'd make any difference. Thank you

Hi Is it possible that I've disabled the USB read function? At first, I thought I was using the wrong USB cable after the activation process, and I tried about 10 of them and two phones - neither the radio recognized the phones nor the phone recognized the radio. I dug into the USB port and checked its number: 5Q0 035 726 M (black port) - it should support Android Auto. Then I decided to connect a USB flash drive - the radio doesn't recognize it :/ It worked before - I changed the station logos to color ones.

Left foot braking is disengaging drive. Well not for me as i have only a left foot so it works the accelerator or brake pedal but not both at once and for 17 years of driving DSG,s using one foot and D, S or R i have never had issues parking or have a vehicle creep.

2016 Fabia Monte Carlo here. I had this issue on both windows after picking it up new a month or so ago. Tried lubing up the weatherstrips as recommended here with not much luck. After looking a little more into them I saw that one of the weatherstrips had folded over about half way along and was rubbing, causing some noise. Pulling it back into place fixed that side thank god. The other window had the noise coming from from somewhere else, deeper in the door, so I had the door card off to see what was what. In the end, it sounded like the noise was coming from the front rail of the window regulator. The fix I found was to get in through one of the bung holes inline with the regulator rail and spread (admittedly a little too much) red grease on the rail and slider, running it up and down 10-15 times. It's not come back yet, so knock on wood I think that's fixed it.

I came across this before in my son in laws vw caddy. Never seen one before. It disables the cars rear fog light and also the rear parking sensors plus a few other things to do with stability control. You can get a 13 pin socket with microswitch. Alasdair

Lots of things last longer than five years.

Welcome to the forum. As glowplug number three is the only one incorporating a pressure sensor, that does stand out. Were you able to read absolute boost pressure?

If it's the same as any other VAG group car then yes it does.

I did email their service manager for an explanation of the two different prices, he didn't bother to answer..

@Warrior193 yeah I guess I’m sticking to the fab for a while longer. Shame really I did want to celebrate passing my probation for my new job. But I’m going Egypt for my birthday this year so I’ll just enjoy that a bit harder with my lil lady. i did explain insurers will ask for MOT after car is written off regardless if it had a valid one before the accident. And true out there is the same Spec but with a seller that doesn’t have to omit any details. and I’ve had a look at the link and explained my offer further so let’s see. MOT expires in November anyway.

Is there a proper full Service History for the Ex NHS car? At least 2 Haldex Services, Annual or sooner oil changes, brake fluid done at least twice etc etc.

I’ve moved this to mk3, as I think the questions are mostly about the 2019 car.

Crumbs, the Land Cruiser must have had a hard life! - those things are practically bomb-proof!

Seal came today. Really easy fit, just need something to hook the old seal out. The old seal was quite compressed, i think it stopped clicking as well when you tighten the cap up. It clicks again now. £3.25 delivered, much better than the £64 Skoda quoted to just change the seal... Pic is the old one, the cracks are quite obvious once you get it in the light.

Common on totally standard Yeti,s with Haldex. Much depends on age rather than miles covered and location location location as in weather, salted roads. Rusty Coupling, also cracking rubber. But often the obvious cracking is not an issue.
