Was it the right type of battery ( EFB ? ) Was it coded to the car? Do you have stop / start on the car? Thanks. AG Falco

Most people don't check their pressures often enough. Some garages, to compensate put them to the eco / full load / high speed pressures. I often hear ' but they were checked at the last MOT ' 😉 Thanks. AG Falco

With mine, if it didn't start, I need to turn the key all the way off before trying again. If I don't it does nothing. Thanks. AG Falco

Have you tried turning the volume wheel up when you are talking? Thanks. AG Falco

With my Fabia 1.2 TSI at this time of year ( autumn ) I notice the following. I am down in the South. Water temperature can take 3-5 miles to actually get up to 90 C. The temperature gauge in the car will show 90 C from about a real engine water temperature of about 75 C. It also wont rise above 90 C until it reaches about 110 C. I use an OBD dongle and an app on my mobile phone to check the actual water temperature. Oil Temperature takes even longer to rise. About 5 to 7 miles to reach 90 C + Oil temperature will rise and fall as per use the engine is getting. If your car is getting warmer quicker then perhaps it is burning too much fuel too fast. Hence the poor fuel consumption. Do you know the actual MPG the car is doing from recently? ie. How much fuel does it take to fill the fuel tank and the mileage at which you have done. Can you smell fuel? Thanks. AG Falco

Yes, but it also has a lower HTHS rating, down from 3.5 CP for C3 VW 504 VW 507 5W-30 oil to between 2.6 & 2.9 CP for C5bVW508 VW 509 0W-20 oil. ( the engine will wear quicker ) At a potential 2%. Thanks. AG Falco

Normally steels are lighter than modern alloys, especially if you are going down 2 inches. Thanks. AG Falco

Is it not under guarantee! Thanks. AG Falco

Goodyear Efficient Grip xxx Goodyear Asymmetric xxx Or Bridgestone Turanza xxx Correct. Thanks. AG Falco

This shows how the car was set up at the factory. Although they can change this from QI6 ( Variable ) to QI4 ( fixed ) it won't remember this. When they start a service booking it does ask, when the last service was and what was done, and will then calculate what needs doing now. It gets complicated if there is no history on the system. Sometimes the customer might know / have records. HTH. Thanks AG Falco

Looks like it is listed as a Fabia 1.2 TSI 110 on the invoice which is a CJZD engine. But a CJZC ( noted in the next box ) is 90 as your avatar notes show.🤔 Thanks. AG Falco

Others would. Thanks AG Falco

Yes it does. If you PM me I can check. Thanks. AG Falco

Have you the MOT paperwork? Is it online? https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Service details should be put on an online ' Digital Service Schedule ' website. This can also be checked? Thanks. AG Falco

Quite normal but my last two tanks were:- 506 miles at 59.3 MPG in Oct. 527 miles at 63.5 MPG In Sept. This is in a June 2016 1.2 TSI at 83K miles. Are all your journeys short / around town? What actual MPG are you getting? Sounds like something is wrong though. Thanks. AG Falco

Was it an EFB type battery? Thanks. AG Falco

Was it coded to the car after it was fitted. Was this a wheel speed sensor? What fault codes do do you still have and have the warning codes been checked /noted and cleared? Thanks. AG Falco

Mk III's don't prime when you open the drivers door. it's at ignition on with my petrol one. Thanks. AG Falco

You can get ones with a resistor in them to fool the car. Canbus error free type. But check carefully before ordering. Thanks. AG Falco

Can get you out of trouble if the puncture is in the tyre tread. But still no use to a cut/hole in the sidewall of the tyre. If you have a spare then you still have a get out of jail free card you can use. Thanks. AG Falco

Michelin's take:- Thanks. AG Falco

All four of my cars have one fitted during the winter. https://e-heko.com/en_GB/c/Winter-covers/1323 Thanks. AG Falco

Don't forget to code the new battery to the car after fitting. Thanks. AG Falco

If you PM me the Reg I can look up some details on Erwin, if anything is there. Second thread looks like you have found your answer. Thanks. AG Falco
