    Best Oil for our Kodiaq (mine is a 2.0 TSI 4x4)

    If you believe that to be true then best use only VW504/507  or VW508/509   

     

    If the Long life oil is good then one might wonder why so many TSI's over the years have been short lived. 

    & is VW502 that can be used for Fixed Servicing actually substandard?

    I would probably stick with a FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL - and a fixed OCI (1 year or 15000KM) 

     

    The oil I am using is a Mid SAPS PAO based Ravenol 5W-30 VMP

    Do you think if it's a good choice?

    Personally in hot places and cold places i would do fixed service oil and filter changes in a TSI engine, forget about possible fuel consumption improvements with VW 504 00 / 5w 30 FS ll.   Long Life oil, short life engines IMO.

     

    Stay VW502 00 so 5w 40 Full Synthetic.

     

    But isn’t VW 504 a tougher standard to pass (protect better, less wear) oil than VW 502?

    for Kodiaq, what is the normal coolant temperature range?

    Thanks for the detailed comments and explanations , it did help a lot.

    Cheers.

    The Coolants function is to cool the engine and the engine oil.

     

    So ASAP after starting the Coolant gets to around 90*oC-92*oC.  The gauge indicates 90*oC but it is that not accurate, but close enough.

    So the air cooled radiator and cooling fans try to keep the coolant cool, and when working does that perfectly.

     

    So the Oil which is also a coolant heats up much slower and after a few miles or more miles if starting from very cold ambient temp then eventually gets to around 90*oC

    then higher as the engine works harder.

    The object is that when the oil goes higher the coolant / cooling system brings the oil temp back down or keeps it from going too high.

     

    Hence up to efficient running temp the oil is between 90-120*oC .   

    Obviously globally and by environment and ambient temp there will be big differences, but not that much, you use different oils maybe. 0w 30, 5w 30 or now 0w 20 FS LL.

    ie Arctic vs Temperate Forrest.

     

    *When VW Group get the Water Pumps suppliers wrong and the Thermostats wrong and sensors wrong which is often since they went from Air Cooled to Liquid Cooled decades back then people come to Forums or to Dealerships asking why does my Coolant Gauge go sky high, then right down low and why am i loosing coolant.*

    Vorsprung Durch Technik.  You wish!

     

    for Kodiaq, what is the normal coolant temperature range?

    Dear Kodiaq owners,

     

    My Kodiaq 2.0 TSI coolant temperature once it reaches and keeps staying @ 90C and being steady like forever during 2 hours driving journey...

    But I check the engine oil temperature did go up and down according to the driving condition (mountain climbing it goes up to 110C, if freeway it goes down to around 100~105C)

     

    What are you guys' experiences?

    Is my Kodiaq's coolant reading normal?

    I've just joined, so please bear with me. I have an 18 month old Kodiaq. Last week I was driving along a dual carriageway with ACC set to 70mph. There were no other vehicles in front of me and none coming towards me on the other carriageway when my car braked hard; objects on the rear seat were thrown on the floor; the dash board indicator displayed BRAKE. If an HGV had been close behind I doubt that I would be writing this!

     

    Gees, my bear is also around 1.5 years old now, I'm also curious about this issue and how would it go?

    After 6 months driving my kodiaq and noticed one day when I washed my car...what the hell is wrong with the headlights and that's it.... blurry from inside...its like a oily front glass or something. Barely ised my headlights...no night driving...Bloody cheap materials is used to build a kodiaq. My 2015 suoerb MKII never had these faults like a kodiaq has...so does your dealer change these lights for new one?

     

    It's under warranty and they replace it for new one for free. :)

    But you are using up your free Services quick.

     

    So why would you be doing the DSG at 1/2 the Service Guidelines and not the Haldex?   The parts that commonly have the issue.

     

    Good that your Service Plans include the Haldex, because in the UK a 'Full Main Dealer Service History' at 4 years might not mean the DSG, Haldex or Brakes have had the Fluid Changed.

     

    Our Free Service Plans don't cover DSG oil change either, it's scheduled @ 60000 KM. 
    It however included the engine oil change @ 15000, 30000, 45000 KM (using 5W-30 LL III oil, looks like a Castrol one) 

    The Haldex oil change is also included (45000 KM) :)  


    Halex oil is relative hard to find here, but probably a good idea for me :D  , will give it a try

    Good stuff if you do not do many km / miles or do and have loads of money to change engine oil sooner than every 5,000 miles and the DSG before 19,000.

     

    When are you doing the Haldex oil or has that already been done at half the guideline distance of 48,000 km?

     

    Haldex oil exchange is included in the free-of-charge service provided by Skoda @ 45000 KM. :)

    I am the guy who intends to keep my Kodiaq for 10+ years,... 15 is even better... lol, not sure if it's a realistic idea though..

     

    So, I feed him the best oil I can get form the market (it's a Vollsynthetisch oil made in Germany), https://www.ravenol.de/en/products/usage/d/Product/show/p/ravenol-vmp-sae-5w-30.html

    and change the oil every 7500 KM 

     

    We do have 3 times free oil change service in Taiwan, the factory suggestion oil change interval is 15000 KM or 1 year, which comes first.

     

    And I am also considering to change the DSG ATF oil on 30000 KM, which is half of what Skoda suggests in the manual.

     

    Fortunately, after one and half year my Kodiaq is still working like perfectly, but only has one flaw: the headlights case getting "blur", and it's under Skoda warranty ..they replace it for free.

    I don't want to disable...

    Just  Off by default. Then if required, switch it on back.

     

    Nope, only can be set to either DISABLE or ENABLE.

    So the 1st thing to do for me after getting in the Kodiaq is to disable it by pushing the button.

    I rarely need it to work... unless waiting at a very long stop-go signal.

    anyone knows where to get the Skoda Kodiaq Sportline emblem?

    Is the Sport Line available in Taiwan? If so the best method will be to ring the parts department at your local Skoda dealer.

     

    Nope, we only have Standard Kodiaq, no Sportline/Scout versions.

    Local Skoda dealer cannot find any relevant information regarding any Sportline items/part number etc. (I have no idea why)...

    There is really something money can't buy  lol~
