A TSB from Skoda on cold start behaviour with 1.2 TSI's. Something that Dealership Employees should be able to explain to customers.
To me it is temperature related. Thanks. AG Falco

Mileage
1.2 TSI 90 2016 89K Miles 5 door manual gearbox. Had from new. £20.00 VED. Tyres last about 30K miles. Last fuel tank 64 MPG Original clutch & battery. Brakes are all original but about 2/3 worn. Had 10 services. 8 Small and 2 big ( including spark plugs and air filters in the big ones every 4th service. ) No oil consumption between services. Never missed a beat. Never broken down. Apart from service parts. Both lower front wishbone rear bushes have been replaced. One had delaminated. N-S-R brake caliper rubber boot over the piston was ripped. Possible impact damage? So cost for parts less than £50.00. Plan to keep long term. I do try to look after my cars. Thanks. AG Falco

2020 vRS 245 - Oil?
GM in the states are having some engine failures and their solution is :- ''After over 28,000 reported engine failures, GM is recommending thicker oil as a potential solution'' From a C5 to C3 oil but the API equivalent. Thanks. AG Falco

2020 vRS 245 - Oil?
If it is a C3 oil then :- ACEA C3''Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use as catalyst compatible oil in vehicles with DPF and TWC in high performance car and light van diesel and petrol engines, with a minimum HTHS viscosity of 3.5mPa.s. These oils will increase the DPF and TWC life.'' As apposed to C5 :- ACEA C5''ACEA C5 oils are high performance, lower SAPS lubricants. The primary goal of ACEA C5 oils is increased fuel economy in high performance petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars where advanced after-treatment systems such as Diesel Particulate Filters and Three Way Catalysts are used. HTHS viscosity must be in the range 2.6 to 2.9mPa.s (i.e. low) - typically SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 and made with Group III base oils.'' The 5W-40 oil I use in the other three cars I run is a C3 VW 502 / 505 oil. This will eventually go in my VW as well after it is three years old. Thanks AG Falco

2020 vRS 245 - Oil?
I have a VW that I bought new in Oct 23. VW recommend a C5 0W-20 oil is fitted. You can also use a C3 5W-30 oil. At the first service in Oct 24 the VW dealer fitted the C3 oil for me. I keep my cars for a long time so the oil I chose is important to me. Details I found were:- VW 504 is a FS LL 5W 30 C3 oil and is better at reducing engine wear with a HT/HS viscosity of 3.5 cP than a C5 oil. VW 508, VW 509 is a FS LL 0W 20 C5 oil has a HT/HS viscosity of 2.6- 2.9 cP. They can improve fuel economy by 1%. Engines using this oil will suffer more engine wear than one using a C3 oil. 5W oil is still a flowing liquid at -30°C. 0W oil is still a flowing liquid at -35°C. Thanks. AG Falco
