Rob's Ur Quattro
Or not. The cars were originally partially hand-built on a dedicated line.

Skoda Fabia Mk1 1.4 MPI 16V Exhaust
Correctamungus! Standard VAG window switches are built into the armrests on the doors.

MPG keeps dropping
Why particularly? This used to be the normal way of distributing software, due to the need to supply the user with 10s or even 100s of MB of compiled code in order for them to install $package on their machine.

Moving from an ICE vehicle to an EV - my first 1000 miles and observations on The Good and The Bad
Where do these losses actually occur? If they do occur at all that is.

Can you say "rolling bomb"?

Antifreeze
It's a specific gravity tester; exactly what it looks like depends on your budget.

MPG keeps dropping
Well, there is at least part of your answer. E10 (10% alcohols) has a lower calorific value than E5, so you burn more of it to go unit distance.

ACC Braking when overtaking
Which just proves that EurokNeeCAP is not actually fit for purpose.

Over fuelling running lean black smoke out exhaust
Black smoke from a turbo is usually rich running.

Further worked example using Benbecula. Population ~2_000, vehicles ~1_000, total public chargers 4. Fuel pumps 8, and even if someone's at each pump at your chosen forecourt they'll be moving in ~10 minutes tops.

Does that include car parks "remote from the property" like I had in the Western Isles in the 40%? There was no, repeat no way to charge an EV at that location without running a charging cable across a public road, footway or both. My neighbour who had a Nissan Leaf had to resort to parking on the footway (illegal in itself), and running a cable across the footway and through her living room window. And, for the benefit of the English, Chargemap shows exactly 2 chargers within walking distance, both at the local hospital.

ABS and TMPS error
That's usually low oil level. Check on the dipstick, but I think you'll find the oil level is down around the bottom mark.

2020 1.5 TSi - some gripes/worries
OK. 1 - Question. What revolutions does the engine have at 60 to 70 mph? 2 - You shouldn't actually use full lock, back the steering off maybe 10 degrees and see if the PAS quietens. 1, 3 and 4 - Is the clutch slipping? You've given me an impression that it may be from these. 4 - If you're actually getting tyre slip, there's something badly wrong with the traction control.

Fabia 4x4 project
OK, O/T but this looks like a cross between an Opel Manta 400 and a Firenza droop snoot. Which is no bad thing.

Fuel Gauge not Working Replaced Fuel Pump
Why!?

Alternative engines for a Skoda felicia 1.6 petrol pickup
Pretty sure it's the same block and head, but make sure you keep all the Skoda auxiliaries until you're finished and have the new engine in the car and running.

1.6 Greenline - Car feels generally heavier, weaker
Compared with a V@*xh@11, for sure. Compared with a pure hydraulic PAS Citroen, not so much. As to the lack of power, I'm fairly sure you have a chocked EGR. A good mechanic (so not a Skoda main stealer "technician" then) would have ideas for how to clean it out.

sunset glass on skoda fabia mk2
Ah, I don't read manufacturers' brochures that often. Even if I did I'd still probably use the more generic term.
-
Fabia 1.4 mpi (68hp) to 1.8t auq
No. It's even a frequently removed part on cars that have a 1.8T as standard.

New clutch fitted and engaging on floorboard Yeti 2013 4x4 TDi CR 140
Ok, that rules out one possible idea. You seem to have covered most of the others except for faulty assembly.
-
Coolant temperature sensors
Well, if that were correct, then you'd either be running neat antifreeze or your engine would be frozen solid.

Winter wheels size recommendation
Step for a hint - What diameter are the front brake discs?
-
sunset glass on skoda fabia mk2
At least 80% transmittance unless you're actually asking about rear privacy glass.

Plastic Hub Caps over Steelies - A good idea?
They do keep the centre plates clean(er).
