Hi, Currently my car stands on 360k kms - 2.0 TDI 4x2 (pre-facelift) I am facing a weird issue where when you stay above 120 kmph for most of the trip's time, the engine temperature increases to 95 celcius and comes back to 90 (which is normal) in few minutes. This is occuring from the past few days, sometimes it comes even when you are below 120. But most of the times happening above 120 kmph. It cannot be related to engine RPM as I tried this by driving the car in 2nd gear @ 3500 RPM for 45+ minutes. Oh and btw the timing belt was done I think at 358k kms or so, BUT the water pump was NOT changed. Could that be the cause? or the thermostat? The authorized Skoda Service Centre couldn't find anything related to it as well. Coolant check Temperature sensor check What else?

Good question, but to be honest, I am lazy and the rest of the time busy in work Actually I will do that as soon as I get some time and update here.

Hi, Searched around but couldn't find a specific topic. Any idea if you can replace the current 16' steel rim with a 16' alloy and 215/60 tyre but with less air, just so it can fit? don't want the false floor to raise and want to make it look normal as much as possible

I actually do the basic service myself, hence there's no doubts with the filters. I am very tempted for a remap as cars that cost 1/3 of the Yeti are now better at acceleration than the Yeti!
-
I am quite skeptical of a remap, given the car has done almost 350k kms and I am not sure if the engine / turbo would hold up the increased power. Also, is there any connection between the throttle and the emission update to the ECU they did?
-
Nope, nothing on the dash. Yes, I checked the car multiple times for any fault code, no luck. Do I need to manually check the throttle position sensors? I never took a look at them. Apart from that, all filters were recently changed and on schedule.

Hi, During the infamous emission scandal of VAG, all cars in India had their (I'm guessing ECU) updated. This resulted in loss of power, but to compensate for lesser emissions and being more fuel efficient. This was around on 150k kms. And immediately I noticed that the car became very sluggish, but I can live with it (a remap would fix the job). But apart from that I also noticed that on full throttle, there's barely any power and the car accelerates slowly!. In mid range, it's still good enough. Full throttle is where it loses everything. The car currently stands on 340k kms. The EGR and entire fuel system (common rail injection they say) was changed recentlu. Which includes injectors, pump, etc. So I don't think there's any problem with them. 2.0 TDI 4x2 (108 bhp & 250 nm)

Thanks for the suggestions. I have got the Osram Next Generation Nightbreakers delivered, can someone tell me how to install them? I'm a complete newbie in this case. Given the traffic conditions in India and people who 90% of the time drive with their high beams on, it's difficult to see what's on the road as well as the highways / expressways are pitch black during night.

Hi, current setup of the headlights gives very poor output at night on highway and in deep valleys where there is sheer darkness. I am looking to upgrade its stock H4 bulbs to something better which makes night driving easier on highways. Let me know which one would be the best for the car. Visibility is my only requirement. If there are other ways to increase visibility, let me know so! thanks. Its a Pre-FL btw.

Hi, is it required to first remove the front bumper in order to remove the headlights? or can we do it without the need of removing bumper, if so, how?
