I will not use additives when there is a choice of Premium Diesels to use, or regular derv even in the UK. My 8 year old diesel without AdBlue was stinking badly when run on Tesco Diesel, but running smooth and smell free and getting a bit better MPG running on Gulf diesel. I used to use their Gulf Super on my Shogun but they do EvoUltra (XTL) now and it is too expensive locally. Currently i am running BP Ultimate Diesel because i am getting a good price and i like how the MPG is and performance fine and people are nit getting the bad tail pipe small / emissions when behind or beside me.

@Jim Reire Just being nosy, but what shows on the Plate for Towing weights on your car? Can you take a photo please?

@Warrior193 A PHEV is not an EV and EV,s can and are different. None i have had required any touching of the EPB to disengage to move on once the brake pedal touched , drive (or Reverse) selected and then the accelerator touched. (PS. As far as Autohold and not EPB, then as long as the car switched on an in D or R then touching the accelerator will having you moving, Autohold is just acting as though you are holding it on the brake pedal without you holding it on the brake pedal but activated Autohold by stopping touching the brake pedal. 4 corners are braked unlike with the EPB.)

@lichfielddriver Are you looking at a 1.5 TSI ACT or a 2.0 TSI, or even back to a 1.4TSI?

Sorry no idea. But once you have an idea remember advertising on Briskoda is 'Simply Clever'.

@skomaz My MINI Cooper S Electric came on Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSports which were pathetic but are they a different flavour from just F1,s.

Is the stuff AI shows just nonsense concerning the adaptors available?

@Ramsay7 Worth telling if a 1.6 or 2.0 TDI and saying how many miles on it now. http://autohausedinburgh.co.uk

Cars from AC can be straight from Auctions as well or bought from various sources & not just trade in's. They buy in the same way as WBAC does direct from sellers.

@sslizz22547 Could you say please which country you are in or the car was sold in?

^^^ Unless they do the 'Special Offer' as part of The DEAL. where you get free CERTIFICATE for an Extended Warranty & Servicing and a MOT. Which is anything but free and means they can Reduce what is their Profit as shows as 'Their Expense'. Tax being paid on the Profit. When the car goes in for a Service in a year & a MOT, you might get lots of Advisories and even a Fail of the MOT on something that it Failed on when Arnold Clark's MOT'd it a year earlier and was 'Repaired' then got a pass. Arnold never got where he did being 'Fair', and the business continues without him but taking the P1$$b just as it has for many decades.

^^^ As in Aberdeen.

Those BEV Police Interceptors in Forfar which are about 500 meters from the A90 are charging at 50 kW max. (Ridiculous sitting there hogging Public Chargers IMO) As far as chases up the A90 or A92 or any back roads around Angus there are plenty of them about as well as ICE vehicles. The Orchard Bank Public chargers, only 4 CCS 50 kW are far left, and the Police HQ is now where it says Carnoustie Country having moved the Police HQ out of the town. The area bottom of map is where the New Low Carbon Hub complex with Super Fast charging for HGV,s and the Hydrogen hub is supposed to be going.

Welcome to the forum. Worth doing a search & looking at many other threads with very much the same as your post.

A posse of Police EV,s charging at the public hub today. Including an unmarked Polestar. Public tariff is 60 pence a kWh and and an overstay fee of £10 after 1 hour 10 minutes. I wonder if that is being waived by Angus Council for the Police vehicles as 1 was into the overstay.

@bertJ You have the car and can easily drop the pressures and see what you think. (Reset TPMS), & increase as and when you want or need to. Just do not go too low.

Can you local garage fix a ASG if it need fixing?: Does your breakdown cover not give you uplift to a repairer. Drive Wheels off the road? The Automatic Specialist 12 miles away. It matters not what the codes shows to them. The specialist is going to know if clutch actuator, gear position sensor or just a transmission recalibration. worn clutch parts, fluid with dirt so contaminated, Failing gear position VX65 acuator. etc etc

If you are paying for the Extended Scope as well as the Oil & Inspection service remind the Service Desk person that Supposedly they are Removing the Wheels anyway, and removing the rear drums when wheels off does not take over 1 hours labour. Even cleaning out the brakes once drums off does not take 1 hours. As FABIA Servicing was for Mk1 & 2 the Minor and Major Service used the say Check rear brakes. This was when many FABIA had drums and they never removed the rear wheels. ......................... Extended Scope is first & 3 Years then each 2 years if on fixed servicing regime.

Are you going to be charging it at home? The oil changes were supposed to be on the fixed regime. with the PHEV. 9,400 miles / 12 months. The spark plugs should have been changed. The DQ400-e DSG Service is due @ 40,000 miles.

@nta16 1.2 TDI CFWA (CFW) These was part of the VW Defeat Device recall and the car might or might not have had the Software / Engine Management update. This was a disaster for many of these engines.

Well oil pipelines require gas and pumping stations to move the oil along, up hill and dales and through valleys. Water flows nicely down hill by pipeline. Also where there is flooding and then too much water. Pumping stations yet again requires energy, in some areas wind and solar provide that energy. What a pity that Countries and Nations will spend more on war than the worlds essentials for peoples daily needs. Then obviously wiping out the desalination plants and pipelines is part of what is happening in some middle east countries. (De-desalination??)

Yes logistical as in many world regions suffering drought and people dying. Starving people & crop failures, who cares? Just World wide greed. But the world being over populated & those dying it is hardly a concern for those with plenty.

Yes indeed, with micro plastics and forever chemicals added, also medication. So more chemicals needed to clean it up, or energy. The wars will be over water. Many world regions are short and desalination is required. That requires energy. Lots of energy, solar in lots of regions. That is renewable. So if half the world lives in areas that experience sever water scarcity for parts of the year that's something the UK can ignore is it. As it is UK farmers and growers where praying for rain. But then new technology obviously means H20 not needed to produce food. We can produce dehydrated water. I remember seeing that on the telly. April 1st i think. Anyway the millions of litres needed for Data Centres in London just take it in from the Thames and then put it out again. No harm done. I have no idea why England are so rubbish at having safe drinking water and never any shortages, and obviously being plentiful it costs so much. The UK can not even control human and animal waste going into rivers, lakes and into the sea. All about the CRAP, what a pity it can not be used to produce more energy as happens in some regions. PS. Hydro generation in Scotland being out priced by Solar & Wind generation.(Much of which is being paid to not be generated or used) Meaning many planned new projects for Hydro and on hold, or not getting the inward investment for it going ahead. Hydro is at its most useful in Winter months in the UK. Needed actually as a way of storing energy that comes from wind and solar.

Not rocket science. But that is what those and such as those are interested in. Burning up money to develop that further. They want the minerals. Minerals are mined for nearly everything. & mining under the sea and gathering from the sea bed is happening. Water is required for absolutely everything and what water there is on earth is what there is, there is no new water coming. There is water that is frozen becoming liquid. Doomed eventually, absolutely doomed. Humans are responsible for accidents concerning technology and speeding up making earths demise come sooner. Oil is very necessary for so much. Lots and lots is required to produce fertiliser which is concentrated energy put onto the land to then help grow crops. Crops, vegetation and trees capture carbons. Rotten down they produce gas and eventually oil, energy, and coal and vegetation can burn on the earths surface and bellow. It can all go on without human involvement other than the Petrochemical productions. The thing is that it is humans or some that are very wasteful with natural resources that are available on the earth and they need to be using more renewable resources.
