  1. There is a heater in the adblu tank, with a control unit. On a 4X4 version, they locate the unit under the offside rear wheel arch! Sounds a good idea! Not when water gets into it! My battery flattened at 3-01 am due to the shorting which occurred. Brilliant technician, Noel, (AA VWG recovery service) detected it, ordered a new one, (are you ready?) £300 retail. Fitted in about 20 minutes, but then testing, resetting elecronic facilities & recharging battery etc. VW used to have a reputaion for good design & engineering. Glad I took out an "All-in" service/warranty.
  2. Picking up again from last year. Car is July 2019, diesel 4wd, 33000 miles. Been reporting gear change to dealer. Adjusted & lubricated cables which made smoother change, but still baulks on 1 & 2, and now on 3. Dealer's test driver said it was faulty, but dealer says I might have to pay nearly £2000 if they don't find a fault or it is not 'approved'. Got warranty for two more years. Not a gambling man! Any others with same problem. If so, what experience in getting it fixed.
  3. Am told water gets in, hence they reject warranty claim. Friend had two wing mirrors fail. Told it was warranty, but charged £450 as water had got in.
  4. Friend just had his replaced by dealer, £230
  5. Skoda extended 2 year warranty. How do I find build date? They didn't commit themselves yes, read t&cs.
  6. 1st and 2nd gears clunky. Dealer says all are. Thinks it might be "tired fingers on clutch". In 60 years of motoring and repairing, I' ve never heard of it before. Says they won't know if it is warranty until they remove gearbox. Any thoughts welcome. Diesel 4Wd edition. 28000 miles. Bought secondhand. .
  7. Try Screwfix - £10 -43 for 10 litres with pouring tube. Screwfix staff did not know why they were selling so much, and didn't know what it is for. Halford's is £14+
  8. Ignition ON Click on screen - menu Click on vehicle Click on settings (gear wheel bottom right) Scroll down to Units Go to speed - option appears KMH/MPH Select. The key being used might vary this, so if second key used, it may need to be reset.
  9. Brand new Fabia elegance petrol estate. Started up & waited 10 minutes for screen to clear. Tried various settings. Eventually, driver's side clear, but passenger's side only half clear. Temp gauge did not move until after 2.5 miles. Tiguan diesel clears in 3/4 minutes from cold & temp gauge up to 1/4 within half a mile. Will try screen cleaning.
