octavia mild hybrid generator belt sound
@mantasgaj Is the noise only there when it is wet roads?

Tyre Pressure Monitoring fault
Are the pressures all correct if you stop as soon as you can when the warning shows. In a safe place. Check when hot that there is no sticking brake caliper or bearing going and the hub, wheel heating and a tyre expanding. The warnings are not always a loss of pressure / circumference.

Good that you have registered your concerns with them early on in your Warranty Period. Is there only one Dealership you can visit, and one master tech? Have they driven the car, or have you asked the Dealership Dealer Principal to test drive it?

octavia mild hybrid generator belt sound
Welcome. Are you asking if others with the same car have the same noise or no noise? What is it a 1.0 or 1.5 TSI MHEV?

Ordered a new Kamiq today...
@OldKaroq The new car should drive as you drive after you cover some miles and not like a demonstrator that some Dealership employees or potential customers drove it. Enjoy.

Help and advice! Front top mount fabia 2013 vrs
Rear vRS Mk2 Fabia estate is where they are different, it is. 9 3/4" longer and not really just 5 kG heavier. Rear does not squat under acceleration and lose traction at the front. But then then the hatch need not so much when you remove the 'Success Ballast' off the rear crash bar. What allows the Estate and Sister cars from VW, Seat & Audi that are really heavier and not quicker 0-60, or 70 or 80 mph to get the VW Kidology figures..

Oil change service
@QuinFin Does that work if the car is set for Variable / Flexible servicing & you want to put it to Fixed Service Regime warnings?
-
Another Oil Consumption Topic
They are not for town / city short cold start trips really. But then there are plenty Delivery Vehicles around that do just that. Or Taxis that simply keep the TDI ticking over while 'waiting' on a fare.

@Carlston might see this and comment. vRS Standard 'Sport' springs were stupid expensive a few years back, or there were the cheaper to buy 'option springs' (Dealer fitted Eibach. There were Monroes for the Twinchargers. 'SE3387' Front.

the truth about electric cars
So anyway. Change is coming. Westminster is changing planning in England and will sort out those councils and NIMBY,s that are holding things up. Not anytime soon. No big rush to get things more green for everyone. More Nuclear eventually and the next generations will still be paying for the decommissioning of what provided cheap electricity for past generations.
-
Oil change service
I take it now you will want it set for Fixed Oil & Filter servicing so 12 months and a week / 9,400 miles and not on Variable if it is still set for that.

the truth about electric cars
Money, easy come easy go to those with money. Millions in the UK have not enough money to pay bills and feed them selves. While Haves get Free or Cheap electricity and grants for Heat Pumps. The law is changing in the UK to allow plug in Solar and prices will supposedly be cheap. Battery storage to power your home is not cheap yet. Then we have the fire hazard. As it is many hundreds of thousands of peoples residences have still not had Cladding sorted out, and have properties they can not sell.

Oil change service
Was it a Demonstrator that got a Oil & filter change 3 months ago, or why was then if only 5,000 miles from new. Was the Service Indicator reset and did you check so that after the Oil Service it showed 24 months, 18,000 to 20,000 miles, or if on Fixed 9,400 miles / 372 days? Did the person maybe reset the 'Service' indicator and not the Oil Service indicator. They can be set for the same time and not 2 different setting.

AC not working - no pressure
Did they just have a trained fitter that could do a check but not any work if required? No quotes from them? I hope you have checked your wheel bolts tightness and tyre pressures and reset if needed and the TPMS reset. Best go to an AC Specialist IMO.

the truth about electric cars
@lol-lol You really live in a parallel universe if you really believe nearly every household can make their own electric and store it in batteries. Not everyone is in detached homes, terraced or blocks. There are Flats in all sorts of heights & multi-storeys. Places with no Gardens or places that are Listed or in Heritage areas etc etc. Housing Associations, Local Authority / Council houses, buy to lets etc etc. Houses of Multiple occupancy. Then on Canal Boats / River Boats, Caravans, Mobile Homes & many types of residences. So solar and battery is a major investment which someone has to pay for if it is possible to have. It is like the factual nonsense about how many vehicle drivers have Off Street parking where they can charge BEV,s or PHEV,s.

Cambelt and head repaired ?
Even with a new MOT i would be avoiding unless it is no more than £500. Maybe it has another years life.

the truth about electric cars
They have the 8 Nuclear Power stations in the UK & abroad including Torness in Scotland. Even if only 5 are generating in the Uk and all that electricity available. Torness supposedly produces enough to power 75% of homes in Scotland and it is not being used for that. As well to make it 'Much Cheapness' or Free.
-
Cambelt and head repaired ?
Is it a 2010 car. 1.4 VTi. So 'Timing chain' issues with some of those. Not a belt as far as i know. Hardly bumping price if it needed the head doing. So ask again about the CAM BELT. See if the sales person knows Jack Sh-!t. Non VTi is 8 or 16 valve and cam belt. Known to possibly have head failures
-
Cambelt and head repaired ?
There is no way of knowing. Is this one of the Peugeot 1.2 Puretech engines that have Wet Belt issues / failures, hence the repair required. Maybe best leave that one where it is if it is.

@Dieselgate Which company was that from?

the truth about electric cars
PS. Not just Pylons, Sub Stations, huge substations, blocked in planning by residents that block anything. Well reduce power to their regions. Put their tariffs up, and be sure their homes get reduced power day times and stuff them. Not just the issue in Scotland. The Southern parts of the UK need to be dealt with.

the truth about electric cars
The UK needed the National Grid upgrades a decade past. The UK needs to 'Take back control'. Have ENERGY SECURITY. Nationalise the NATIONAL GRID. Forget the Arms race & the spending to be able to fire missiles costing millions of quid or to get a train trip to be 20 minutes quicker (for some, very few. HS2) . As to the Navy, it looks like half the fleet are under maintenance and the rest going in for running repairs far too often, and still not enough humans to be operating what is working.

EPC and Check Engine Light On
How many miles has it done. When were the Spark Plugs replaced? Miles. Needs a proper scan to see if there are logged Fault Codes like Misfires. How long ago was it refuelled.? Filling stations started getting Summer fuel or should have at end March. Should not make any difference as E10 is E10 or E5 is E5. but funnily there are cars throw a wee misfire this time of year.

Newbie to Briskoda (2017 Mk3 Skoda Octavia 1Ltr)
Welcome. How many milers has the car done. When were the Spark plugs replaced last. They are a 40,000 mile / 4 year thing. 3 cylinder 1.0 TSI can need done sooner. When was the Air Filter checked or replaced? Unlikely dodgy fuel from ASDA because they sell so much and the Internet would be telling as thousands of cars get their fuel there . Pumps have filters. Fuel supplied has changed from Winter spec to summer spec at the end of March, or should have depending on what ASDA has bought up and from where. It is not quite as volatile in summer but still 95 ron minimum.
