@jaychen What is the law or regulations in Australia (or is it Austria) on a Decat / DPF removal?

There is no REGULAR Servicing scheduled, advised or recommended for a DQ200 DSG which has 2 oils and a tiny filter in the MCU. This is not to say that you can not change both oils, but a main Dealership might not be prepared to, but a Service Desk person might advise it is done and will book it in, and then have no idea of the cost of Servicing a DQ200 DSG. Get done at an Automatic Gearbox specialist if getting done.

There are bound to be 1.4 tsi PHEV,s that did not get Fixed Regime oil changes. No reports I am aware of these engines in a PHEV having issues. Are you getting a warranty? As long as the warranty provider would not say 'not serviced to the manufacturers schedule, recommendations or advice '. Which is something Skoda UK does quite regularly.

Is that a 1.5 tsi phev? They are on variable oil servicing. Vorsprung Dutch Technik. But if you run one mostly on electric would you leave the same oil in from the factory for 2 years?

Location location location. Long queuing is not necessary if you are visiting charging hubs with plenty ultra rapid chargers and these are not very busy sites. Towing is an issue as far as charging unless it is the type of charging hubs designed to allow vehicles to charge while still hitched up to what ever and not requiring unhitching and re-hitching. I expect the range with a horse box and horse at the Max Gross weight allowed will be greatly reduced. Could it even be half the range.

PS, maybe more important, change to vw 504 00 / 507 00 5w 30 FS III, or even vw502 00 so 5w 40 FS since you are going with fixed service oil and filter. Remember the DQ400e DSG service oil and filter is @40,000 miles. As are spark plugs, and check the air filter every service not at 60,000 miles as per Skoda schedule.

1.4 tsi PHEV,s came from the factory showing fixed servicing intervals. But then the cars might of got plugged in and charged lots and the engine not run much. Many were never charged and the engine always running. So why many would go with Flexible / variable oil and filter changed. 18,000 / 20,000, 24 months.

@Bap33 This being on 199kW chargers. Are you going to be using Ultra Rapid chargers like that? Instavolts are only 160kW max.(92 pence a kWh) Tesla are 250kW max. there are Osprey 300 kW, There are 350 kW chargers. The Xpeng G9 can charge at 300-525 kW. So 800 volt chargers.

@daveo138 Cross Climate 3,s ?

It is the coils getting greased to make removing easier.

150 bhp with a remap maybe. Talk to the tuner / remapper you plan on using. Plenty threads and posts that might help in the Fabia Mk3 section on tuned / remapped 1.2 TSI,s or in the Fabia Project section. Even in the Rapid section.

PS 92 pence a kWh. Ultra rapid up to 160kW. "No parking" just charging in bays.

New Ultra Rapids at McDonalds Forfar just at side of the A90. 100 yards from the 4 hopeless 50 kW max and often much less Angus Council chargers.

Only 8 days supply of gas stored on the British isles as a maximum. AI says 12. Jackdaw gas field is almost ready to go into production. The pipelines and platform are in position. £3 billion spent already by Adura the joint venture between Shell and Equinor to prepare jackdaw and Rosebank. £1 billion on Jackdaw.

There is so many strange things that the UK Government & politicians think is acceptable and then others that they are dead against.

Worth doing a word search with Google or Briskoda.

The UK Government with the loudest voice (Sir Ian) AKA Sir Iain Duncan Smith is so very worried about China that they got their nickers in a twist about China and France building the new Nuclear in the UK. This government is so concerned over security and China that they do not want a Company fabricating wind turbines in a Yard in Scotland. No issues with how many Oil licences that a Chinese business has for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea because the is in partnership with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company. (China National Offshore Oil Corporation / CNOOC) No issue with how many ports / terminals Chinese companies own (3), or business,s or allowing a huge Embassy to be built in London. This is a very very strange state of affairs in the UK. So wind turbines could spy on shipping. China has satellites............. & Oil fields and structures in the UK,s North Sea. & already many Chinese built wind turbines.

If the DATA centres or large retail and communications corporations in the USA are building their own SMR,s then that is maybe who should do it in the UK. Again it is public money in the UK thrown at the already huge & wealthy corporations and shareholders.

'Warm' was the term Skoda used, while VW, SEAT & Audi for the same engine used in owners manual 'Hot' or 'Normal operating temperature. That is Germans for you and lost in Translation from Czech, Spanish, German, to English or US English. Lost in translation.

Support for Rolls-Royce's small nuclear reactors much the same as far as supporters, Boris, IDS, Andrew Bowie etc.

@imart143 & Is it in the same place when you check the level as per the cars Owners Manual?

There is still the drive for Small Modular Nuclear & that was a wee back pocket earner for some Tories when in power and now some Labour party elected or non elected members will do OK out of that, same as happened with Hydrogen and JCB or family members connected to JCB.

We are all supposed to be mugs, just because some are that believe politicians & spin doctors.

As to the Data Centres and the many seeking planning permission in Scotland because of the temperatures and the supply of H2o for coolling. This is not going well for those spinning the story of jobs etc. Maybe they should be built at the Nuclear or GAS / COAL fired power stations that are decommissioned or on ex Military of Defence sites and air fields. But the water is very much the issue.
