New chargers going in. Between Turnberry and Girvan @ Dowhill Farm and Country Fayre. KA26 9JP. Already there is a DC charger and 2 AC, and it has been cheap at 55 pence a kWh, maybe not for much longer.

It is a Tiptronic then. I assume a 1.6 petrol.

..

They have a Warranties Manager. Ask the Dealer Principle who theirs is, or ask him / her if they are covering that position.

@jim-mapps Re it being an Auto. Is it a Tiptronic? Has it ever had the box serviced with an oil change? Even though VW / Skoda never gave them as Schedule, Recommendation or advice on Oil Changes.

Just heavy rain like stotting on the roof. As Forestv Gump must surely have known. Hopefully someone can help with this Rather Important Issue. All my vehicles get Wind Deflectors fitted as i have dogs in the car. Some have been EV,s so regularly sat in while charging and windows open.

Am i missing something, why is a tilted open sunroof ok if it rains but open windows are not?

I doubt you can change the rails or seat frame. Best see an car interior trimmer to reform your seat.

Which country are you in? Would all-season tyres not suit you? How about saying what size tyres you have on, and what Speed & load rating they are, & are the XL (Reinforced) Also what tyre pressure you set at? There is a tyre / wheel section on Briskoda.

eg http://autohausedinburgh.co.uk You need to check your own regions.

Independents can have Licensed VW Equipment and do Software Updates and keep the Service Record available. Even do Warranty work in some cases. You just need to know who and where they are. Many have Ex VW Group master techs who want return customers and are giving a damn while many Franchised Dealership / Motor Groups could not. You have a Service History of many things never done or even looked at.

'call me Dave' Cameron. The PM back in 2016. This is the stuff you get with films like this. Find pictures any pictures.

^^^ Aluminium smelting. "This Country", he must mean England. Alvance British Aluminium Ltd. Fort William. Uses Hydro Power. Limits what it produces to the times of low cost electricity so Production is at 70%. High energy cost is what limits boosting production. According to MD Tom Uppington on BBC 5 live 'Wake up to money' 31/7/2026.

Refining, that is the thing. Refined petrochemicals from Russia. Lots, Oil exported to others to refine, lots. Venezuelan Oil imported to the USA to refine, not the refining capacity yet in the USA and not in Venezuela. Why is the diesel price so high in the USA? The Donald has lost control, but then never had any! No refining in Scotland and less in the RoUK, and yet today there is guff on 100 licenses that could have North Sea oil providing half the UK,s oil and gas needs. Well there is 'The market', & then lack of refining in the UK. Its all balls, buffets and banquettes and loads of talking rubbish. How much energy is used to produce diesel or petrol from Venezuelan oil compared to Brent Crude or West Texas Intermediate, (WTI)? Light sweet crude oil.

How soon are diesel passenger cars really going to be banned from being first registered in the UK, EU or Rest of the World? When will be the current date given next be rowed back on? Russian Oil and Fuels were supposed to be sanctioned anyway and the USA were seizing ghost ships, even taking them into UK waters / ports. DONALD TRUMP was talking nonsense yesterday as usual. Diesel is produced during the cracking process and before you get to lighter products like gasoline and uses less energy to produce.

Vorsprung Durch Technik. or Das Auto. Good Tag lines but really for VW Group the slogan should be 'Just do it'. Because they spin stories for years, £17,000 EV,s etc and never get to there. If the can build light and efficient and reliable as in properly designed without fundamental issues or just snagging faults do it. But it seems now if they are going to it needs the assistance from China.

If you have Haldex then that is at 3 years / 30,000 miles so needing done before the New Warranty starts. Brake Fluid is back to @ 2 years and each 2 years. Front 2 wheel drive a DQ200 DSG so no service. An AWD with a DQ381 is at 80,000 miles bit you might want before that. Dealerships try to sell the AC service at 2 years, you might want that before 6 years old.

Maybe try Tesco Momentum 99, not just cheaper, sometimes exceeds 99 ron, especially once the Winter Spec arrives at filling stations. Starting earliest in the Northern regions, late September / October Scotland.

Are you running it now on E5 / Super Unleaded so 97 ron or 99 ron Minimum?

The spark plugs need checked / inspected as a minimum & gap checked, and best replaced. Best get it on a Dyno before a remap, maybe already re-mapped.

Welcome to the forum. A 12 year old DQ200 DSG might well need new clutches. How long have you had the car and how many miles has it done?

The ECU might of been replaced or more likely removed and opened to be remapped as early on it could not be done via the OBD port.

Scratched clean. After the service and supposed body inspection. Best hand it over clean and with a note inside Do not wash, and tell the service desk at handover and be sure it is written in the tag put on the keys.
