Any Skoda specialists in Norfolk ?
Ive been using Clive Attowe on Salhouse Road. Can't fault their service and honesty. Been using them since 2020/21. Clive and Dale are very knowledgeable with all things VAG. Up front with pricing amd some bills have been less than expected or quoted.

Leave selector in position P => will it pass the MOT?
Mines been doing it for about 3 years. Sometime I get it flash up 6 times jn 10 mins, other times once every 4 months. Just never got rou d to applying the fix. But jn those 3 years it's never failed an MOT and I've even had it flash up when I parked it at the test centr. It never leaves a light on the dash as it flashed up and goes. So don't worry about it.

tyres
I've always sworn by Goodyear Assymetrics, had the 3 the 5 and the 6. Friend the same and now on GYA 6 (albeit on a 130i) Due to cost and a refurb I ended up with a set of Hankook S1 Evo3.l currently. I've had PS4's before in the VrS. For me the PS4s were fine wear wise but we're poorer than the GYA's in cooler or from start up. Once warm both performed as good as the other. I'm not able to eek any extra benefit from either on the roads so I always ended up with GYA's as they were cheaper. The current s1 Evo3. There is no rim protection at all, which is annoying as whilst I'm not in the habit of hitting curbs the protection on the PS4' and GYA's saved the odd nic a couple of times over the years. They are very slippery in the cold, damp, as all summer performance tyres are but these are worse than the others. Having said that a recent 2hr drive in heavy rain I found them to be as good as the others sure footed and dealt with standing water. I had confidence in them. Dry weather they are all I need but not as much grip as the GYA's. I paid £75 fitted a corner at a time when the GYA's were £105. But prices seemed to have come down considerably since I purchased about 12 months ago. Hence I got them as with a refurb it was a hefty bill. I'd go back to GYA's but I'm a matching 4 kind of guy so it means rotating and then a bill for all 4 again. Milage I've always had 15k out of GYA's. Got 28K on a set of rears. 20 years ago I was doing GYA's and Potenzas in 6K on my old 150 PD Leon. But I've grown up, and slowed down a little since then, well I tell myself that. In short Goodyear Assymetric 6's

Columbus Map Update 2024-2025 (MIB2 HIGH)
To confirm the above link (the mega.nz one) does not support MIB1 Columbus? My MIB1 columbus + canton is MY2015, I last updated the maps in 2018 via a link on his forum. Will I need to go back to the previous map update 2024 or have I read it wrong and this latest update can be used for MIB1? If I can use this latest posts links, which link do I use, the Mega.nz or the ones listed under VW portal? I've read previous years updates but things get way to technical with file types and all sorts and I put it off until next year! Thanks Steve

Skoda Octavia Vrs Petrol - What mpg do you get?
2015 220 TSi DSG here. I used to do a cross country 20 mile commute which saw me easily get 38-41mpg and on average 400-420 miles a tank with a 38mpg long term average. My commute is now 3 miles at 40mph and a lot of short distances running kids about. I'm now getting 280-320 a tank and long term average has dropped to 31mpg. Having recently been on a long run (and back), 90 mins at 70mph I saw 42mpg and 39mpg. With 200 miles down I'm showing 250 left in range which would put me back to my old 400 odd miles a tank. From what you've posted I'd say it's about right. On a summer holiday last year winding across the a47 and a17 at 50mph, fully loaded after nearly 3 hrs I saw 49mpg.

Local Norfolk Skoda Expert
There is a waiting area but no seats now (I'm sure there weren't any when I went 4 weeks ago) following on from covid. I've never waited, just left mine for the day.

Local Norfolk Skoda Expert
Clive does indeed have Odis, im fairly sure the sevicing hes done will come up on a skoda dealer print out. There is a car marked up as courtesy car, a little Dacia I think. I've not used it as I don't live far out the city so the bike gets put in the car and I cycle home.

Local Norfolk Skoda Expert
Likewise just seen this. I fell out of love with Robinsons so now use Clive Attowe on Salhouse Road. Whilst I'd love my bills to be cheaper I can't fault their workmanship and honesty. I've been using them for 3 years now

LED Lights in Europe
I had to manually switch to right but once back I tried to switch manually and it kept saying function not available and remained on right side traffic. A few junctions up the M20 and it had auto switched to left hand traffic (2015 Xenon)
