Brake Energy Recovery in detail. 3 seperate recordings of voltage and current on the VAG “Smart” alternator. Very interesting the wide scope of both voltage and current across the 3 seperate runs. Equipment used to takes recordings was Fluke AC/DC Volt meter and Fluke DC current meter. Both meters able to record live data. Voltage data recorded directly from battery positive terminal and negative earth connection on the firewall. Current recorded directly from main positive cable 100mm from positive battery terminal. All three runs were over a total of 100+km distance incorporating Urban, highway, and back street roads. SKODA RUN 1.pdf SKODA RUN 2.pdf SKODA RUN 3.pdf

Yes, start/stop turned off. Never liked it anyway.

Just another night on the Gold Coast.

Just have both of them, like I do. Weekday Limo, Weekend Racer👌

I had ATE ceramic pads fitted at 15km service on my 280. After a few days bedding in on the original discs, they stop as good as the originals. They are virtually dust free. I can go 2+ weeks without washing the car and the wheels look like I washed them the day before. They still have the shine on the Anthricite whelels. The rear pads in my 280 are ATE and my euro mechanic tells me that they are ceramic as well (no corrosion or uneven wear on the discs) I can’t fault them in any way and I will be buying a set for the front of my Golf Gti Clubsport on it’s next service.

When you make the changes next time, you need to save them via the seat memory. Then each time you start the car it will remember your selection.

Just a quick stop to check out the lights of the Gold Coast!!!

Thanks JR. I see there is 2choices for the Discover pro. Left or right. It’s a 50/50 bet???

Which vehicle did you choose to source the maps from on the VW portal?? Also which Nav system did you choose.

Mine does exactly the same after 5 attempts. Even tried a different SD card. The message is the same on my screen. Definitely an issue with the ROW 2018/2019 maps.

What brand of “add on” chip did you try?

You took the words right out of my mouth. When the flag drops, the bull s&#t stops. Winners are grinners, second is the first looser!!!

Up the tune to 260kW which is well within the current engine limits
