@fabia29 Gas stations have filters for the fuel passing out of the underground tanks and the petrol / diesel pumps on the forecourt have filters. It certainly not Angola where your location is.,

Do 17" rims actually fit with the vRS discs?

Is this a TDI or a 2.0 l TSI ?

Go with what suits your use, comfort and safety, grip / traction rather than fuel use reduction. You know how the car is loaded or not and driven, and where. You can adjust the pressures to suit the weather. Summer in the UK is 2 seasons away.

VW Group / Skoda recommended CASTROL for many years. Nothing special in the way of oil. Dealerships used QUANTUM, just the same performance in the way of an oil, and now it is Quantum from Fuchs. The Oil to the specification might be cheaper in the price you pay. It is not crap though if to the correct spec.

It is almost certainly the brakes making the noise, so what more can be said. Once the pads are worn a bit more it might go. How many miles done in 4 months?

Well the thing is there is Skoda VW UK and the Executive Team, and then there is the Customer Services Contractor. Looks more and more like AI and not just people anyplace in the world with a keyboard and really no knowledge of Skodas.

It is moved.

Welcome. A mod can move your post to the Fabia Mk2 section and maybe help there. & there are similar posts you might get with a search. What is your car, petrol or diesel. Is it new to you, or just this issue new?

For decades Apprentices and others have been trained that Studs / Wheel Bolts get an 'Oily rag' wipe. No lubrication / greasing.

Tesco Unleaded or Momentum 99 Super Unleaded & diesel comes from Greenergy who produces Fuel for ESSO in much of the UK and delivers it. But not all ESSO Filling stations with Petrol or Diesel are selling the same fuel as Greenergy produce /import. It can be the same, same spec / formulation, but that is not to Say from TESCO filling stations is the same as from the ESSO one. location location location.

So much of the painful stuff announced in this latest budget is not applicable until 2028 / 2029. I suspect there being a General Election called early anyway. The Government & Cabinet Ministers do seem very detached from the day to day real world and how it is for many workers or non workers of whatever earning levels who do not get their days to day living expenses and travel and accommodation, utilities etc paid for because of a job they got elected into for a while.

Spec VW508 00 TSI,,s 509 00 TDI,s. Same oil / same bottles, but be sure it says it is to the Spec VW 508 00 / 509 00 so the 0w 20 FS IV.

Topping up just, The best is the Recommended oil from VW Group, so VW508 00 / 509 00, that is 0w 20 FS IV Who produces it on the Retail label / name matters not. Asda / Tesco / Comma / Shell / Total / Mobile etc etc Even Castrol, you decide.

Yesterday i read the article in 'This is money' and mention in the first 3 years the BEV would still be taken to a MOT Test Center to have the mileage checked, and the government / Tax payers would cover the cost. Yesterday almost every comment i read from EV drivers being asked about the cost of EV,s and would the 3 pence matter, were home chargers or business drivers. Discussion now on BBC Scotland Radio. Nobody seems to mention the 20% VAT at Public Chargers and the cost of charging possibly 10 times those home charging at offpeak. PS. Yesterday my trip cost £4 from the home charge & £6.50 public 50 kW charging. It will be a minimum £30 for the return trip if i do 7kW AC charging @ 50 pence a kWh. or £42 if i Rapid / 50 kW charge in South Ayrshire.

It is simple enough, VW Group modern petrol engines do not have wet belts. Did AI / Meta, Google not say that?

'They' do just say just anything lots of times. & you are not tied to Main Dealers. There are Independents with Licensed equipment, even ones that are Ex VW Group Master techs. So not just the gear and no idea like many Techs / Fitters. ? Who told who @ Skoda. Was this Customer Services or just some Dealership Employee?

It does not have a wet belt.

@Dann2707 Is it at this time of year where the ambient temp is down near freezing rather than OOP North were it was into the teens maybe. Is it the Coolant not getting to an indicated 90*oC on a 30 minute / 17 mile drive? It should do, maybe in half that even at zero*oC. What is it getting too? What is the oil temperature indicating it gets to?

@lol-lol Report 3. Winter, public charging. Not the fictional official figures.

@lol-lol 70 miles on Electric or 578.4 MPG. Amazeballs. Now MP,s and Lords or the Realm should get their mileage allowance based on that. Most those that travel the furthest could travel from and to their constituencies for less that £30. see the 3rd report.

@classic I never ran the Tyres the car came on for long enough, just long ennough to know they were ditch finders. Nearly new Toyo & brand NEW Bridgestone. Binned. (The garage fitted them before i bought the car. ATS Euromaster on the site the Dealership owns.) I would not have used them on the roads i drive & the conditions i drive in. I doubt very much there is any loss of range with the CrossClimate 3,s. If anything they would be more efficient. & regardless of that all that matters is you can get about in snow and in and out of Charging bays because they never seem to get cleared of snow. Over the past winters my experience is ploughs actually make them worse in many cases pushing snow to cause a barrier. .............. The MG5 EV is very keen to spin the wheels. & the steering is very light. Good tyres are essential IMO. The Corsa & MINI were very sure footed on All Seasons in all conditions.

Sorry it was in the Mk2 section, i bumped that thread.

Bump for @Hillybill

Have a look in the Tyre Section. Tyres are Summer & there are 'All Seasons'. There is a thread from a few days ago in this section. Maybe look at that.
