the truth about electric cars

Some charge locations need a battery box as a buffer.

But sad that ths sites who nearly always getting it right ars TESLA. Over 99% uptime which they allshould have but only TESLA seem to manage it.

The Gridserve Electric Forecourts are also great, and have battery banks to ensure published flow rates but as to others still hit and miss

Ever bigger car batteries mean less public charging and now home charging, with the VAT off, is great.

Creaking noise from roof console

Hi everyone, I have the same problem with my 2024 Octavia 2.0 TDI. About two months ago it started making a loud creaking noise from the roof console (the sunglasses holder area) when driving on uneven roads. I found this thread and it looks really helpful.

Does anyone have a video showing how to remove the console? I searched YouTube and other sites but couldn't find one. I'm not very experienced with car repairs and don't want to break anything.

From what I read here, I need to pull the console down from the side of the sunglasses holder (put hand inside? and release the 4 black hooks with a trim removal tool. Can I do that with hands?

Thanks in advance!

Brake pedal soft but brakes fine. Doesn't pump up, no fluid leak - air in system or master cylinder problem?

Also to add "Isn't the pumping hard with the engine off just depleting the servo vacuum though, nothing to do with compressing the air in the system by ramming more fluid in?"
Yes, I'm sure it is. But the differance is the ABS unit is off. I can only report the symptoms I had and I think it is because the ABS pump is not in an active state, valves in it closed etc.
I can only report what happened in practise until someone with confirmed knowledge tells me why.
The thing is if it was seals in the master cyclinder then the same seals would let by with the engine off, yes I can see more foot pressure needed as you'd have no servo assist but the pedal would not be rock solid with hard pressure even with the engine off.

Amazed Skoda has become so BAD..

Certainly the DSG in ours drives just fine. It changes up just about as early as is reasonable, and I think the downchange on braking from speed is something it's supposed to do.

The only time I've ever used Sport or manual changes in ours is for experimentation - I've never felt the need to use them in normal use.

Maybe newer cars are a bit different - could the OP have a more sporty mode being used by default in the driver profile (or drive mode)?
