Skoda Octavia mk3, CKFC engine, 2.0 TDi 150hp, coolant looose
The coolant does not need to be at MAX. At services it might get filled to MAX then after a run the coolant sets it's level between MIN & MAX. If there was a FILL TO THIS LEVEL, that would be marked on the bottle. If the level does not stay steady and drops to MIN then that is an issue / problem.

Fabia 2018 DSG question
There are gearbox specialist recommending that they do get Oil changes. Probably best to leave a working well DQ200 alone, especially at so low miles. @RickW was it you that had the failure with a Mk2 vRS that required a new MCU? EDIT. Sorry i remember now it was @AJR77

Fabia 2018 DSG question
What recommends a DSG fluid change for your DQ200 DSG? There is no schedule for that. You could go get someone to change both oils if they know what they are doing, maybe Main Dealership might be prepared to do it. Not all will. But the service desk staff might book it in not knowing what you actually have.

the truth about electric cars
We will see over the next year just how things all work out. Just how much fuel prices do rise for those that do not have their own oil wells or run on UVO or have their own solar, hydro or wind generated electricity. That is probably the majority of drivers in the UK.

Superb towbar
Probably no pre teen child available there that knows how to use the equipment.

Bye Bye Octavia
The Peaq is going to be even bigger & looks like it might be available before the Epiq. It is a real shame that Skoda could not of got out a BEV Estate before more SUV shaped models.

Skoda Electric Models
Are Skoda no place yet with a Small EV, £17,000, £20,000, Under £25,000 The Epiq ? I thought the Peaq was going to be something smaller but i totally got that wrong with it being a 7 seater and bigger than a Kodiaq. ,

Ron 95 to 99 back to 95 rattle
Private Hire driver, car a necessity and tool of the trade. If £3.00 extra a tank for Tesco Momentuim 99 or Sainsbury 97 ron feels better than 95 ron then 'simply clever' surely to use it. Its an overhead and not a big one.

2024+ Superb or Octavia is independant servicing an option?
Yes they can do Servicing without. Oil & Filter and Inspection Servicing. Then there are those with the Licensed Equipment that can do Servicing and do it properly & update the Service Record online. That is more than many Main Dealers Techs, Fitters or Apprentices can do. Some can not be bothered to reset the servicing on the car. Or look at an airfilter before 6 years / 60,000 miles. Or change a Filter each service of a DQ381 DSG.

1.2tdi injectors
There were many that never had The Fix because not compulsory and of no benefit to the owners. They might have had issues, but many will not have. Sadly there is something far wrong with your car or the Injectors supplied.

1.2tdi injectors
What a pity you had the Fix done but then at least your car is still going which is not tru of many 1.2 TDI,s that were done.
-
1.2tdi injectors
Where ever you fuel will have Filter from the tanks to the Pumps then the pumps have filters. There will be hundreds or thousands of diesel vehicles in your area that fill up there so surely local Mechanics would see many cars with FUEL issues. Did your 1.2TDI get the Emissions Fix carried out, new Software / Engine Management applied?

the truth about electric cars
Lets hope there no haters that thinks throwing a brick at your EV is payback. PS. There is plunge pricing this afternoon of 15% at many of the Main Public Charging providers. I just received a email. 15% off some pretty expensive tariffs.

Shirley, you have the car. Put on the Rear fog light then no need to wonder.

the truth about electric cars
REAL WORLD EVing. Who is it that is going to issue a Parking ticket at chargers that are not in areas covered by Parking Wardens. Parking camera companies can send notices where they have contracts. or there are Private contracted wardens. The are EV drivers just as bad for using charging bays to park yet not charge. There are people out their without the brains cells they were born with, or are just stupid and lazy. PS. Parking Attendants were posting Parking tickets in Angus at cars on chargers that were no longer charging, yet it was faulty chargers often cutting out and leaving the vehicle plugged in and no longer charging. Big clue, RED Light showing Charging Off. That could be someone pressing the emergency button. Quite common because the same Greedy Barsteward local business people would keep hogging chargers back in the days the charging was free. The thing was the Car Parking was free after Covid and the ticket machines were covered and the council had passed free parking. What really pees me off is PHEV,s abandoned for ages on a CCS charger when there are plenty AC,s they could be using. Too lazy to get their cable out and use it. Too stupid to not think they can use the AC Tethered lead.

the truth about electric cars
I was kicking my self for not getting my deal fixed when 6.9 pence a kWh which would then have received the 3.1 pence off when the price came in. I did thankfully at least for for the 5.99 pence a kWh for 12 months. As far as the public charging possible increases time will tell but surely it must being going up. For now there is only one way i get free charging & that is at National Trust For Scotland chargers which is OK if there for a few hours and i can get a charger that is available and not blocked by a ICE vehicle. Only 7 kW charging but then i am paying £13.15 a month for my membership. I will be visiting Culzean Castle more often and staying for longer each visit. Just not buying their very very expensive food or drink when there.

hydrogen powered cars
Not just the Aberdeen City Hydrogen bus scheme a failure and the cost is not just for the busses it is the Hydrogen Hubs so far that cost many millions. The Hydrogen scheme for heating homes in Fife a failure. The full costs from the public purse for the various schemes in Scotland will be revealed fully very soon. After all there is an Election in just 3 weeks. Somebody has obviously made money. Many will have.

Rust around fuel filler door
@Williami33 Wonderful. Do you have any pictures showing how bad it was? Did you have the support of the dealership and did they photograph and submit the Warranty claim. Did it require an inspection by other than the Dealership workshop or warranty manager?

Skoda Karoq 1.0Tsi 2018
The 1.0 TSI is simple with a Simple locking tool. Plenty have been messed up by people without a clue or the tool. Which is not more than a few quid, unlike that for doing a 1.5 TSI ACT. PS. Euro 6 1.0TSI,s with a GPF are only 9 years old now.
