  1. Should be put off road until proof of fix.
  2. Hint, under section 4, vehicle details - line P.5 (engine number) - first 4 characters of engine number.
  3. I don't have ACC - just normal cruise😒 - but I think I'm safe in thinking that the distances for ACC control calculations would be significantly greater than the collision avoidance distance for front assist.
  4. Hello Tom, welcome to the forum. While not fantastic, 7.5 litres per 100 Km equates to a little over 37.5 mpg - which, depending on type of driving style and trip, is not all that bad - I wouldn't call it 'abnormal' You quote your previous consumption as around 6.5 litres / 100 km a year ago - this makes a little under 6 mpg difference. Are your tyre pressures correct? This can make a significant difference to fuel consumption. You seen a little uncertain when the oil was last changed - it is entirely possible that the oil used was not the correct grade, this could make some difference. How many miles since the last oil change - and how many miles do you travel per year?
  5. +1 for check battery condition for the stop-start error.
  6. Hi, welcome to the forum. Front assist will only 'kick in' with full ABS mode if the system thinks you are not producing enough pressure on the brake pedal to avoid any obstruction the front assist radar is seeing. If the system can see that you are already reacting, it will not do anything. It takes very steady nerves (and judgement) to test it in real conditions! - unless you have some sort of soft, reflective, target to try it out on.
  7. Also be very careful about small metal objects like that hair clip near the socket.
  8. Hi Snowman, welcome to the forum. Although not quite as lazy as my 1.4 TSI Octavia, my wife has a Fabia 1.0, 110 with the M6 gearbox - and I've found it to be pretty relaxed at (legal) motorway speeds.
  9. Hi Adam, welcome to the forum. Because the sensors possibly are sending fault messages due to low battery voltage. Check alternator output and battery condition.
  10. Ideally, use the same fuel pump to do the top ups if possible, that way you will know the fuel tank is approx. same level.
  11. Hello Marine, provided you have the correct camera (which it sounds as if you have) the modification is simply done via software.
  12. Hello Razvan, welcome to the forum. First check that your battery is in good condition. A failing battery can often be the cause of multiple fault indications.
  13. Good morning Hardy, I believe it's located between the LED indicator and the key release button.
  14. In addition to the intake plenum breakage, there looks to be significant damage to items behind the nearside headlight - is that the battery/main fuse panel?
  15. At todays fuel prices, payback time on the cost of the charger will be very short.
  16. Hi Top, JR got there first. Interesting that the Octavia load bay turns out to be almost exactly the same.
  17. Hi Top Topper, welcome to the forum. Not quite the same, but I will measure my Mk111 Octavia - Superb will not be smaller.
  18. Hi Munch, welcome to the forum. Scout has AWD and increased ground clearance.
  19. For the price of a new filter, certainly worth trying.
  20. Hi Gru, welcome to the forum. I think you should get a quote from a few other places! I had my cam and auxiliary belt changed during a service in November 2021 - cost was £436.66 for parts and labour. This was at a large independent. The cambelt kit (including tensioner) was £98.42.
  21. Possibly from the visor flexing when flipped down/up?
  22. Hi Rob, how do you seal those welds - Will that POR 15 sealant do all that?
  23. The energy recuperation system on these micro-hybrids tries to maximise battery charging on overrun or braking, meaning that the alternator will not usually charge the battery to more than 60-75%. One thing to watch - you say you have dash cam, does this remain on when parked? As Viking says, at 6 years, it is possible that battery is starting to fail. A battery condition test after a full recharge should give some indication is this is the case. EFB and AGM batteries require around 14.6 VDC to charge.
  24. Hi, welcome to the forum. The problem is probably due to a failing clutch slave cylinder. Try searching the subject on this forum.
  25. Hi Gaz, I think that is the way the fixed brake pad is supposed to work - correct gap would be critical.
