Ok all noted thanks for that.

Yes you are right that's very true I have noticed that, of course it doesn't know so it's really up to me i guess. Tbh i have been doing that even after short normal trips, is it overkill do you think to let it run 30 sec even after short trips? I guess the worse that could happen is I'm probably burning a bit more fuel. Ahh that is good to read, I want to have your experience with the turbo engines. Yes that's why I'm trying to do what I can to prevent these things happening.

Yeah perhaos, still I had to make sure 😄 Firstly apologies for my long rant. Yes of course growing up here in Australia i have been more used to the big straight 6 or v6 and v8, not that we don't have smaller capacity engines, we do but from memory they weren't the best sellers but I'm talking about 20 or 30 years or so ago of course things change. Yes about that not really sure of capacity in cubic metres i never cared for small engined cars I've always had interest more in bigger engines. Actually it's not like I've never heard of turbo powered cars too here in Australia as well, albeit not that common or known to me. A few friends and aquintances had these but they were 3.0 L turbo or 2.8. Maybe there were smaller engines with turbos as well here, I just am not aware of. Hey don't take wrong they were fun to be driven in but i never really wanted one. Well here I am now an owner of a turbo powered car. I guess my point above was that a lot of newer cars with small capacity engines are built more for the purpose of economy than performance when the manufacturers implement the turbo i could be wrong with my statement here but it's not for the purpose of performance that they are built rather for an economical purpose. For me though in the past whenever I've heard of turbo boosted vehicles I've always associated turbo powered cars with performance and with aftermarket, and never thought of them as economical option, but that's just my ignorance talking I guess. Fair enough point taken. I'm still to roast my car 😂😂. Maybe when I've broken it in which isn't too far away but I'm glad to half bake for now 🤣🤣. Actually that was going to be my next question, I was wondering if that is what happens when the car is driven hard or the temp gets very high though the manual says to keep the engine running. Does the engine keep on running even with auto start on? For me it just stops but I have to manually turn it off I guess it would if i was driving it hard, wouldn't as it does when the aircon is running.

Not sure if these instructions and info below (see images) from the owners manual are referring to the "matrix lights" as per se' as I don't see that particular wording, but it does seem to indicate that there are moments where you may need to manually turn the adaptive high beams off to keep other drivers from being dazzled, as per the conditions, ie barriers or dirty headlights or not functioning. Apologies if these don't refer to you. It does seem though that the presenter in the youtube presentation had no issues which is great, though if he had them on at low speeds as well did he have any issues 🤔 . Anyway I myself haven't had an opportunity to try this function but am looking forward to trying it.

Wait, are you referring to me, i can't tell. Well if you are, yeah I guess I'm that clueless😂😂 and no not a troll🤣🤣. Just learning about a new car purchased from those, with experience and better knowledge 😀

Ok sir thanks for the scolding🤣 i probably needed that. Sorry i don't disclose my age😂. Noted, I know turbos have been around for years. I guess what I meant was it's more common now widespread where manufacturers install small turbos to small capacity engines to give them similar power as larger naturally aspired engines whilst offering the economy of a smaller 4 cylinder engine 😀.

Yes i wasn't sure if it was the radiator fan as it's very quiet I thought it was probably a small extra fan just for the turbo. Ok not thanks for the info. Yes I have been leaving it on about that or more even though I don't do fast runs, I'm thinking it's probably unnecessary unless I find it hard and fast which I'm not, I would think a normal short drive would not require that.

Oh didn't even know about this. Thanks for sharing.

Ok so we in Australia didn't get that engine then, interesting. Which spec engine was it? I don't recall of hearing anything about any issues with covers, but then and again I wasn't really paying any attention, and if it was in a different state, which it looks like it was I wouldn't have known.

Yes I do that already I have the oil temp displayed on the virtual cockpit. Is it the radiator fan I can hear working after the engine has been shut off. Well you would hope so but turbos on small 4 cylinder engines are a relative recent phenomenona.

An update. So I've scheduled an appointment with the skoda service centre for them to have a look at the problem. This should be covered under warranty.

Ok noted thanks. Yes I agree the radiator does have that role and should be enough. Was just I guess pre-empting trying to reduce the risk of anything untoward occurring. Yes you're most likely right normal highway driving should not offer heat it. Thanks for your response

Mine shows 90 all the time. I guess more of a precaution in a way due to it being a turbo and turbos are known to run at higher temperatures. Anyway it's not difficult to put back on. Yes of course 😄

Actually sorry my eyes must have been deceiving me, it's like I was looking at some optical illusion and thought there was a mesh or something covering the turbo. Anyway yes I do have that shiny material. Oh and yes I've taken the, cover off so ...🫣

Yes that's true..... Not sure if I'm seeing right but it looks like, you have some type of mesh there or something like that behind the plastic cover over the turbo. What is that I don't have that

Exactly all good points I totally agree. 👍

Just a trip from one city in one state to another. What??? racing?? for 10 hours?? I don't think so, I'm just an average driver lol going to visit family for Christmas new years. Ok thanks 😆 anyway I doubt I will turn the heater on lol 😂. Yeah, nahh. I'd rather not cook myself as well.🤣

Thanks, yes that's exactly what I meant improved cooling and airflow. To be honest the engine hardly heats up at this point as our trips are short in the city up to 10 km one way hardly anythingmore. It is summer here so temperatures are climbing so that is a factor. Most I've noticed the temp of oil is 107 to 108C. We are scheduled to drive do a long trip Christmas 10 hours plus, so i guess that will be good to have it off for that. Ok thank you.

I I'll call the dealer when I get the time I think that's the best solution. I just saw that email and a number and thought that was the best way but I just read in the warranty t&c as mentioned above from Rooted and yes that is the correct way.

I I'll have a look at it. Yes I guess you're right.

I didn't even know about this. Have you noticed any difference in any way

Ok thanks for the reply. I probably should have done that first, I guess I just wanted to have something in writing.

I believe It was Skoda Australia [email protected].

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience and advice, i did get a confirmation email just was wondering how long I needed to wait. I was thinking of calling them. I think i may call customer service department if i don't get a response soon.
