Skoda fabia 1.4 tdi remap options
On brakes, what is standard depends on the engine tune. The TDi 90 and 110 use FS111 calipers and (at most) 280mm discs. To fit DS3 calipers to a car, any car, with FS111s needs new front uprights as well as discs, pads, calipers and caliper carriers. So the only diesel Furbie with DS3s as standard is the vRS, and even then you need to change the carriers to fir 320mm discs.

Middle Rear Headrest
- It does also look like a rear head head restraint out of an Octavia 1.

Fuel consumption
KenONeill replied to Romanyshawky's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman@HappySkoda - Or, in plain language, YES! Well, that's your problem, since those data are totally discredited and anything from 10 to 30% better than real world driving achieves.

1.9tdi 2001 struggles to hold 70mph on slightest hill
No; you don't get limp mode until the sensor is FUBAR. I think you're still in the earlier stages of the failure. That said, I can't describe it any better.

Towing...
That's the change without all the preliminary waffle that repeats the present rules. I do have one question to add to yours though; How does anyone at all get 3 years category BE before 15 November 2024?

Superb 3 - power consumption is high
Well no, not now. You could have when you made this post by selecting the ellipsis "..." top right of your post within an hour of making the post.

1.9tdi 2001 struggles to hold 70mph on slightest hill
Well, for sure that won't help. As for the throttle, IME this works, with maybe a slightly jerky pickup, or throws a CEL and puts the car into limp mode.

Winter wheels size recommendation
That and you'll get a higher ground pressure, which reduces the chances of aquaplaning (aka hydroplaning) and cuts a bit deeper into fresh snow whilst reducing snowplough effect.

How Does the Service Reminder Work?
At that rate, in Feb or Mar it will jump to 1_000 miles to go, and count down from there til the 366th day from the last service when it will change that indicator to saying "Service due".

Scrub radius on vRS
Search "Citroen Kegresse" then.

ABS and TMPS error
I'll partially recant my last. The fault lies with whoever did that bodge job on the sensor wiring.

How Does the Service Reminder Work?
If it's on a fixed service schedule, then it will "jump" to lower mileage to service sometime in March '22.

Tyre size query
Vredestein BV being themselves a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo was not germane to my point that they make tyres and Camskill don't.

Superb IV - daft question - interior lights
If it's like every other car I've been in, the courtesy lights have an Off position as well as Door(s) Open, and On.

Tyre size query
No; I'm saying that the "ratings" are effectively meaningless (oh and AIUI Camskill are a retailer, not an importer or manufacturer). Vredestein are definitely a manufacturer, and Vredestein UK a wholly owned subsidiary company.

Help with oil for my high mileage 1.6 tdi
NO!! Do not use snake oil additives.
-
Scrub radius on vRS
As if by magic, this article appeared. It won't tell you an actual number for your car, but I hope will tell you what the term means, and the effect of fitting different offset wheels, or spacers.
-
Tyre size query
Big hint - EU "tyre ratings" are self-certified by the tyre manufacturer (or importer), and the drive-by noise rating is outside the car.

Electric vehicles and charging
You don't need a Scalextric car, or even need fuel, to plan trips (back) to Scotland around a stop at Tebay North.
