Funnily they are not the crappiest of vehicles with crap Full Matrix LED headlights. That honour belongs to prestige vehicles costing much more. But you are fighting the good fight. Sadly VW Group could not give a monkeys about the UK and vehicle safety. They would be more proactive on serious defects that many have issues with. Cutting out, fuel rail leaks, DSG failures, Software faults and update issues.

VW Group UK / Skoda, Audi, Seat CEO,s, Brand Managers, Senior board members, after sales directors, dealer principals, master techs, techs, sales staff etc etc are all drivers one might presume. So are they all blind, or just being blinded by the light?

What a wee cracker. Immaculate.

I can not recommend you anyone i know that are VW Specialists that is good near. But VES Sport Performance Dunblane are someone i have used, but they are tuners . Skoda / John Clark Perth Techs not a patch on Skoda John Clark Dundee IMO.

Yes those with issues. But not those without fault. Who is 'They', The Master Technician? Or the Service Manager, with no Technical Knowledge. Have word with the Dealer Principal. Get him to drive your car and you drive his / her Perk, Demonstrator. ?? Where in which country are you?

AI is getting better, but as far as trusting it???

.Odd this says, E10, not B10. But other bumff says B10 not compatible. ACEA_B10_compatibility_2022.pdf

It could very much be residue left over if there was not sufficient cleaning done.

Welcome. Arnold Clark employ many called Tommy. Deaf Dumb and Blind. It is how they roll. Maybe say more about your Kodiaq. What engine, gearbox and miles are on it. What servicing of the Haldex if it is a AWD, and done by who and when. Service Interval is @ 3 years / 30,000 miles or sooner, and not just an oil change. A mod can move your post to the Kodiaq Section. (I will alert them.)

Nice. A reduced tariff.

Good. That you are all sorted. Just out of interest, What is the ambient temperature you are talking about here for Cold Starts? Are you running on E10 or E5 fuel? How old or long / miles have the plugs been in. Did you measure the gap the plugs have when they were out.

The new quarters price list is available from today.

How many actual buyers will there be in the UK compared to those Leasing / Renting them and how many will be private users compared to Business users?

How long do you keep your cars? What mileage will do before trading in or selling? What are the mileages / km,s on them? Manual or DSG? Are they both with a Fixed Service Regime history or Variable / Flexible. Both had Brake fluid changed, spark plugs changed on the 2023?

If it has a DQ381 then 80,000 miles is the service time, Oil & Filter, nit the filter waiting to the 2nd service as some Dealership Staff say. But, VW Group / Skoda as far as i understand limited those 2.0 TDI 115 / 116 PS cars with a DSG to 250 Nm. Manuals have 300 Nm. Same as happened with Polo GTI 1.8TSI 192 PS cars. Manual 320Nm, DSG 250 Nm. Funnily or as you get with VW Group the lower torque and heavier DQ200 DSG car was / is quicker.

@KinderBean Is an independent taking off the MCU to change the filter? Many UK Dealerships refuse to service a DQ200. Others have Service Desk staff that says required, but have no idea what the DSG is they are talking about.

Is it the 2.0 ll TDI 115ps? Has that a DQ200 7 speed Twin Dry Clutch DSG with no Service Regime / Schedule. 2 oils, in the box and in the MCU. Only a small oil filter in the MCU that is only changed if stripped? Or is it something else?

Loved by many Car Reviewers / Journalists / Vloggers over the years. There are some big time Youtube Vloggers that have done vids in the past couple of years bigging up the Yeti. Funnily none seem to have ever bought or owned one, just driven ones lent to them.

@Aspman E5 Super unleaded? Tesco Momentum?

I am getting 3.5 miles a kWh and am paying 55 pence a kWh. (50 kW DC charging) Getting 180 miles or so for £28. Local unleaded is £6.50 a gallon. 41 mpg would be 4.3 gallon and £28 . PS. Once home it is back to £3.50 for a full charge.

The video with Carl Cox DJ and some of his cars is something special. So many of my dream cars in it. PS. There are 2 vids. Outside with cars and a sit down interview..

@DieselMonte might be able to help. Maybe look at his build thread and 6 speed gearbox conversion.

The tyres must have gone as they did between services. A service plan is no big deal. A driver of drivers that never checks tyres or oil is common. An ex motabilty car can have had all the servicing and lots of not carefull drivers. As can cars from any source.

As long as the repair is better than factory standard because that can be terrible. As it is can you trust the dealership. PETERS & LEE.
