More likely sequence of events is the alarm activating after some sort of electrical fault dropping the battery voltage. The alarm has its own self-contained battery that will operate the sounder if battery voltage is removed while alarm is set.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Did this problem start shortly after fuelling? If so, fairly rare, but it's possible you have picked up a batch of contaminated fuel.

New battery requires to be adapted (coded) into vehicles BCM if you have automatic idle stop (Stop/Start) and if ANY details of its specification are different to original battery. Coding is also advisable to inform vehicles BCM that battery has been replaced so that any recorded battery defects, that may be limiting charging rate, are deleted.

The response I received from DVSA was dismissive! In the reply I received, they stated there was considered to be no risk of fire from this type of occurrence, due to the lack of any ignition sources!

Agree ^^^ TC boxes have come a very long way since the old GM Hydromatic.

There is an Aisin 8-speed torque converter gearbox used in some markets, including North America and Australia. AFAIK, on 1.4 TSI, non ACT engines.

You should get a DTC scan done to find why this fault is being generated. I understand that this indicated fault remains even though the over-temp sensor was replaced? Unable to see the temperature gauge needle in that image, but looks to below 100 deg.C.

--- But if that was the case, the temperature gauge would indicate higher temperature. OP says that temp gauge stays at 90 deg. Even allowing for widely reported tolerances in gauge reading, if the coolant temperature is rising sufficiently to trigger any secondary warning, it should be noticed on the gauge. @LoadaSkoda are you able to post an image of the temperature warning reported?

That 115PS figure is what is being queried by Otohere - the 1.5TSI is rated at 150PS/148BHP. Or are you saying that there's a new, de-rated engine now being used?

Hello, can you post an image of this 'engine overheat warning' that you are seeing?

The low fuel light will be a correct indication as fuel level appears to be in the red area of the gauge. Have you checked the engine lube oil level on the dipstick?

If the vehicle has Automatic Idle Stop (Stop-Start) you require an EFB or AGM battery - which must be adapted (coded) into the vehicles BCM when it is replaced. If the vehicle does NOT have stop-start, a standard Lead-Acid battery can be used, which does not require coding.

A thought occurs - do you get normal Torque-converter gearboxes or DSG in the Land of The Giant Hopping Rat? US and Canada get the TC version.

The only thing I can see is normal operation during upshift. You could expect to see a slight hesitation on throttle-up due to turbo-lag at low revs - again, completely normal.

Hello, welcome to the forum. That looks to be perfectly normal drop in revs due to gearbox upshift.

Some research suggests your engine will be EA111. Not sure with Aus. rego - but you should be able to identify the engine model by 3 or 4 alpha characters at the beginning of the engine number. Some EA111 Twin Charger engines appear to have suffered similar issues to EA888 gens 1 to 3.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Strongly suggest that you do careful research on possible engine issues with the Twin Chargers. Find out engine model (possibly E888 Gen2 or 3?) Some E888 engines have had pretty catastrophic oil-use issues. I also recall that there were some issues with DSGs.

But no harm in fitting one - apart from to the pocket. The AGM should generally be far superior in life and performance. One thing that should be checked is if the alternator is capable of correct voltage output to properly charge it.

However, if there is any play in the distributor shaft itself, this could have a significant effect on dwell angle and timing.

^^^ Agree with this - or just a quick touch on the brake pedal to disengage CC.

It seems simplest way to disable Coasting Mode is by selecting Sport Mode - seems to be that to permanently disable requires accessing the vehicles software via VCDS (or similar) device.

From a search on a VAG site, that symbol is 'Automatic Shift Lock' warning, informing that the automatic gearbox is locked in neutral - press on brake pedal required to release - as you say you have a manual shift, this must be some sort of instrument cluster error.

You could ask the Dealer what they used on it and get a suitable product to wipe it off - but I'd guess that it will probably wear off naturally pretty quickly.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Going from the Dealer mat on the floor, I'd guess that its some type of treatment that they've ill-advisedly put on the steering wheel to 'dress it up' - it will probably wear off pretty quickly.

Hello, I assume that you have DSG gearbox - the feature you ask about is almost certainly 'Coasting'
