Not relevant really, Stop / Start disabled. But do you have 'Autohold' enabled. So once stopped and brake pedal pressed 'Autohold' can hold the car with the brakes with still in D or S?

Proposed Hydrogen Filling Station and EV charging by the A90 just as there will be at the A9 outside Perth.

Maybe there might be a reduced 62 MPH (100KM) or even to 100 MPH time. But then again the car might show as having only 80% available power and there is no actual reduced standing sprint to 62 mph. ICE cars, performance or not can have the reduced performance with Heat Soak', or at altitude or when not up to efficient temperature, or just on less than their optimum octane rated fuel.

Yes. But not all BEV,s are the same in say the past 15 years of production. Reduced power available is really quite common in cold conditions, very hot conditions and even in the state of charge in the battery, not just small amounts of a reduction in certain cases. Just look at the various Vehicles, battery sizes, performances etc. 50 % available power reduction with many a BEV even less powerful ones might still mean a decent acceleration and max speed is still available. PS. A power meter / gauge or message / read out is pretty much standard to show available power.

There is no Maintenance / Service Regime for a DQ200 7 speed dry clutch DSG. But a 2013-2015 should maybe have had Service Campaign '34H5 done since 2017. Maybe best avoid, then there is the 1.6 TDI CR having the FIX done or not, Water Pump & Timing belt, and not great reliability. You want good servicing just the same with a 2.0TDI and water pump and cambelt done.

Vehicles with VED Class 'Disabled' will very very likely be treated just as now as far as being used in a ULEZ / LEZ zone as far as 'Parking goes' This allows vehicles old, big, high emission emitting exemptions.

Not had them on the Snow yet.

Snow Chains are allowed and not illegal on the Kings Highway. But, there needs to be total snow / ice cover and not to be used on Black Top. Maybe in the most extreme of conditions, in hills and glens and back roads. Where there are snow gates and snow gates closed and you are in that area within that snow bound area. Maybe not common, but it happens. When the emergency services are on unsuitable tyres like Police Vehicles, Fire Services, Ambulances etc there is nobody kicking off about you having on Chains or Studded tyres. If you have chains you can fit them just as you might fit Snow Socks until you do not need them.

The Scottish way of stealing fuel. Put a hole in the bottom of the fuel tank.

Yes a Oil & filter service, @ 3 years / 30,000 miles or sooner. Hard use @ 20,000. & now for a VAQ with a Mk4 it is @ 2 years / 20,000 miles.

It is VW508 00 / 509 00. 508 00 TSI & 509 00 TDI. But it comes as VW508 00 / 509 00 Not backward compatible, pre 2018. If you want to use VW 504 00 / 507 00, so 0w 30 FS or 5w 40 FS III instead of 0w 20 FS IV then just do it. If you even wanted Non Long Life, Fixed Servicing with a TSI even after WLTP certification by VW Group use VW502 00, so 5 w 40 FS if you want.

The DQ400-e 6 speed wet clutch DSG with a 1.4 or 1.5 TSI service regime is at 40,000 miles or sooner. It is not @ 4 years, and no DSG is by weeks/ months / years. Regardless of what a Skoda / VW Service chart shows, *Engine Oil & Filter services are Fixed Service Regime, 9,400 miles / 372 days. Because maybe the engine is not run often, long enough, unless you know you run it and want Variable / Flexible oil changes. Not recommended though. *

TPMS warnings are not only when a tyres pressure / circumference is less than when set. If a wheel centre was getting hot because of a binding brake caliper or bearing going the tyre can inflate more and you get a warning. If you only check pressures once cooled down you will not know why you had a warning.

The VW Group stayed in business even after Billions of fines for Defeat Devices and getting away with all sorts of nonsense over the decades. They partner with TESLA, SAIC and others to get away without penalties for not Registering enough EV,s in the EU and the UK while not importing into the UK all they could of ones they actually have built. They are the VW Group, money lenders, with investors / owners like Qatar. Loads of money.

Tyres need checked occasionally and the TPMS reset, so that is normal. Batteries do have a life and need replaced occasionally, so normal there. Loosing coolant is an issue, the leak needs finding. & fixed.

@JA1991 Are you turning off the blower totally. Are you closing the vents to incoming air from outside. Is everything off, everything closed?

You put in fuel, so brim and drive and then brim again. Easy to know how many miles it goes per litre or miles per 4.546 litres it gets.

It makes most sense when there is given what the outside / ambient temp is, and what the cars interior temp is. Then that gives an idea about what cooling or heating is being requested.

Do you let the cabin / car interior get to the temperature you are requesting. As in giving the heating / climate control, AC on or off the time to get to the requested temperature.

^^ Indeed.

^^^ Just as long as the BEV,s list price did not exceed £40,000.

VW did not in this case falsely claim anything. There was Internal Corrosion and issues with the sulphur. Humidity was the issue. What was false was a Global Recall excluding Europe yet Climate in parts of Europe or the UK could be just the same as New Zealand, but there there were only hundreds or vehicles needing a new MCU. Plenty articles from 2012 around, including Autocar VW,s favoured mouth piece where they said no need for a UK recall. China & Asia got 100,000 miles / 10 year warranties given. 2 years later in the UK / EU / Europe a Service / Workshop campaign. ** Never a retraction, apology or anything like. & never a mention of the failures of late 2012 to 2013,s never given a Service Campaign.

Sorry. http://team-bhp.com/news/understanding-vw-skoda-dsg-dq200-failures-detail

The World Wide Recall in 2012 which excluded Europe had the Synthetic Oil in the MCU changed to Mineral oil. That was a Service Campaign in the EU / Europe / UK from 2014 with a Software Update. '34F7'. In NZ all the vehicles with a DQ200 DSG got a new MCU as well. ? What age of DQ200 are you servicing. 2009-2012 late are the ones with the issue. Late 2012-2013 were not done. 2013-2015 is Service Campaign '34H5' a software update. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/501052-dsg-gearbox-oil-auantitycapacity Service Campaign Invoice.
