  1. Are you comparing them to the likes of Stapelton's or MTS? Their one depot / warehouse in Whitehaven is not that big. Their stock value is showing at about £500,000 last year. MTS is over £85,000,000. With orders I have seen come through, the tyres have come from the tyre manufactures and/or their distributors. Also run Etyres & RAC tyres. Thanks. AG Falco
  2. And note that neither will have them in THEIR stock, both will be ordering the tyres from a third party. Thanks AG Falco
  3. Skoda Citigo 2018 MPI 85:- Best of this year is 63.2. Worse of this year is 52.8 VW UP 2023 MPI 66:- Beast of this year is 62.0 Worse of this year is 55.7 Both cars do more rural than city miles though. Fuel consumption is also worse in the colder months. Thanks. AG Falco
  4. No where near me then. Was going to suggest I do a scan if you were local. Thanks. AG Falco
  5. Sounds like a trip to a workshop to get a scan done to look for a fault. Where are you based? Thanks. AG Falco
  6. Is the trip still working on the infotainment system? Thanks. AG Falco
  7. Yes. All good for me as well. Thanks AG Falco

    Don't know if this is your engine, but there is a choice of three on their website:- https://www.celtictuning.co.uk/services/performance-stats/skoda/scala-2019/petrol/1-0-tsi-114-bhp-2019-ECU-remap-chiptuning/stage-1#t3-content Ring Celtic Tuning direct. Thanks AG Falco
  9. Sorry wrong post. Try this one:- https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/03l963319d-glowplug-tdi-cr-skoda-15152.html Thanks AG Falco

    Which exact engine do you have? Which ECU, Bosch MED 17.5.21 or MED 17.1.27? Thanks. AG Falco
  11. This it? https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/6r0857785a9b9-seat-belt-cover-center-skoda-49792.html Thanks. AG Falco
  12. Are they these:- https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/1J0857781B47H Thanks. AG Falco
  13. The one to the right that you have arrowed is as follows:- 1 x H7 halogen bulb with a projector lens for dipped beam. 1 X H7 halogen bulb with a reflector unit for main beam. 5 x LED bulbs for DLR/side/parking lights. 1 x Orange tungsten bulb for the indicator. Per headlight unit. These were an option on my 2016 car when I ordered it. So the headlight bulbs are NOT LED. These are better than the single reflector unit that uses 1 X H4 bulb which is to the left. Thanks. AG Falco
  14. I have OBDeleven because I have 3 VW cars and do most of the maintenance on them as well as changing some things myself. Look at their website for some cost details:- https://obdeleven.com/products Initial cost, yearly costs and per change costs need to be considered. Yes, you can mess things up using this software. Thanks. AG Falco
  15. The cheaper option would be to find someone with VCDS, ODIS, OBDeleven and offer them some beer money. Don't assume the features you want will work on your car. Thanks. AG Falco
  16. Is it still playing up? Has the tyre pressure warning from weeks ago been solved? Thanks. AG Falco
  17. That is about the difference between the best 64.8 MPG and the worse 55.6 MPG my Fabia has done this year. Thanks. AG Falco
  18. Where in Dorset are you. You can PM me if you like. ( Private Message, use the envelope top right ) Thanks. AG Falco
  19. Emden to Immingham is common. Looking for one ( your ) car to load from their car park in Emden can take some time. 😉 Look here and count the cars you can see. Note how the cars are parked nose to tail. You will need to zoom in a bit:- https://www.google.com/maps/place/Emden,+Germany/@53.3461752,7.1615142,3040m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x47b639c08bb2e6a9:0x528ec46574ad913f!8m2!3d53.3594029!4d7.2060095!16zL20vMDE5eTgx?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTEyNC4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Thanks.

  20. You could get 2% better fuel consumption! But the thing they don't tell you is the increased engine wear. Read this for my VW UP:- VW 504 / VW 507 is an option to fit with this engine but the car under bonnet sticker did show different on mine. I replaced my under bonnet oil sticker with one that had VW 504 / VW 507 on it. VW 508 / VW 509 is a 0W-20 C5 oil and VW 504 / VW 507 is a 5W-30 C3 oil. There are two main differences between C5 and C3. In red below 1: C5 has a lower viscosity than C3. 2: C5 has a lower HTHS rating than C3 which increases the engine wear. HTHS is the abbreviation for “High Temperature High Shear”. See below. 'ACEA C5 Stable, stay-in-grade Engine Oil with Mid SAPS-Level, for further improved Fuel Economy, intended for use as catalyst compatible Oil at extended Drain Intervals in Vehicles with all Types of modern Aftertreatment Systems and High Performance Passenger Car & Light Duty Van Gasoline & DI Diesel Engines that are designed to be capable and OEM-approved for use of Low Viscosity Oils with a minimum HTHS Viscosity of 2.6 mPa*s.' Car manufactures are tending to use a lower viscosity oil to improve fuel consumption. But the improvement between C5 and C3 is listed as only 2% better. I check fuel consumption so will notice any difference. Since the biggest controller of fuel economy is 'the nut fitted between the steering wheel and the drivers seat' I tend to sort that out first. 'ACEA C3 Stable, stay-in-grade Engine Oil with Mid SAPS-Level, intended for use as catalyst compatible Oil at extended Drain Intervals in Vehicles with all Types of modern Aftertreatment Systems and High Performance Passenger Car & Light Duty Van Gasoline & DI Diesel Engines that are designed to be capable of using Oils with a minimum HTHS Viscosity of 3.5 mPa*s.' HTHS viscosity The HTHS value is a measure of the viscosity of an engine oil under demanding conditions. Defined limit values ensure that even with high-performance engines, the engine oils can maintain a tear-resistant lubricating film in the bearing area at high temperatures and high speeds (shear stability). The unit for measuring HTHS is mPas (millipascal second). If the HTHS value is above 3.5 mPas, the HTHS viscosity is to be classified as normal. An HTHS value below 3.5 mPas is referred to as a reduced HTHS viscosity. 'SAPS stands for sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur.' You need a MID/LOW SAPS oil with an engine with any exhaust emission controls. So to sum up: A lubricant with low HTHS viscosity improves fuel efficiency. A lubricant with high HTHS viscosity offers better protection for engine parts. I keep my cars long term so I want long term engine protection first. Thanks. AG Falco
  21. Is it's a 110bhp 1.0 TSI engine? When were the spark plugs changed? Thanks. AG Falco
  22. Cheaper RFL stopped on 1st April 2017, so you need one before this date. Thanks. AG Falco
  23. Normal engine protection. Any warning lights? Is the engine running normally? What is your normal MPG then? When were the Spark plugs changed? Presume this is a 1.0 TSI. 16K is very little mileage for a 2019 car. Thanks. AG Falco
  24. In the photo I can see what looks like two reflectors , but can only see the top of the outer bulb. The bulb looks like the end of either an H7 or an H4. I can't see enough of the bulb to confirm, hence why I asked for a photo. There is still the possibility that the second reflector could use an H1 bulb. These can be used for main beam which is normally the in the inner position. HTH Thanks. AG Falco
  25. Get them to check with TPS on what oil's are listed for your engine. Thanks. AG Falco
