Your new fault sounds as if you have a faulty switch module.

Not available on SWMBOs Mk3 SE-L Fabia either, ignition needs to be on.

I believe that EFB and AGM charging regimes are pretty similar - My Ring smart charger has two settings only - regular lead-acid and EFB/AGM.

Have you used that method successfully?

Provided they do the job well, I wouldn't worry about how the tread pattern looks. Go for function over looks.

I'd suggest getting the oil temperature sensor tested ASAP - if that reading is correct, be aware that synthetic oil can start breaking down above 135 C.

I guess it really depends on workload, hard to beat the portability of cordless tools - provided you have spare batteries.

Hello Mark - is it similar to the DeWalt multi tool? Very handy tool.

Although not impossible, surely very unlikely for all three injectors to have failed simultaneously.

From other postings, I believe that faulty sensor will identify position.

Hello Harry, first thing to do is get the battery properly tested for condition, a simple test with a multimeter while cranking engine is better than nothing - do you know how the battery is? Even though it was on charge overnight, the battery could still be failing.

I'd suggest having the oil level sensor replaced as a first choice. Is the warning you get the yellow/amber indicator?

What year is your Superb - is it MK2 or Mk3? Does it have automatic stop start? How undercharged was the battery? If your vehicle is fitted with a 'smart' alternator, the battery will typically only be charged to around 75% max. on the alternator alone.

The oil usage was stated as .5 litre (1/2 litre) in 300 miles. Still excessive though.

Enforcement likely to be a problem if the speed limit isn't correctly signed.

Engine code is listed in the first part (3 or 4 letters) of the engine number, this will be found on the vehicle registration papers - it is also often marked on the B pillar load plate.

I tried purchasing a 32gb card from Ali last year, card never arrived and had quite a lot of trouble getting a refund - eventually got a transaction reversal from Amex - Ali customer support was non-existent!

So a TDI then? There is no way that changing the oil viscosity or brand will stop the high oil consumption that you say you have - > 1.5 litres in 1000 miles! There has to be something seriously wrong somewhere. Was a piston damaged when the valve spring broke? If compressions are OK as you say, oil must be getting lost via the valve stem or turbo seals.

Hello, welcome to the Forum. You have not said what engine you have. Were the cylinder compressions tested after the top rebuild?

'Computer says NO' 😬

Good morning, welcome to the forum. How old is the battery - have you had the battery fully tested?

Good morning, from your original post, am I correct that the rear alignment was within spec. prior to the accident - do you still have that report sheet? If the vehicle is still covered by the repair warranty, I'd suggest that you contact both the insurance Co. and the repairer. My interpretation of the rear toe graph is that the rear axle is toed-out to the left. When you drive in a straight line, are you aware of having to counter-steer slightly to the left?

Get the battery tested as well.

The reasoning behind replacing the water pump at the same time as the cambelt on TDIs is because the pump is driven by the belt - and the TDI pump was prone to a relatively short lifespan. If the belt was to be replaced without doing the pump, the belt would need to be replaced again in the eventuality of the pump failing shortly after. This is not the case with TSIs (not certain about MPI)

Hello, a strong possibility that the 'knock' last October is the cause for that small change in toe. Unless the axle was bent in the accident, I believe that it is actually possible to make limited changes in alignment with the torsion beam axle setup.
