  1. 1:Yes 2:Yes 3: 4.3 litres (Service fill)
  2. U1030 Meaning Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. So you have a canbus datalink problem, or it might be a sensor that is built into the radiator. Not a spare part so new radiator required.
  3. The battery management system, needs to know the battery has been changed to adjust the charging curve for the new battery. The BMS is tied into the alternator freewheel clutch, and the start stop system.
  4. Surprised that past the MOT, looks like pretty severe leakage to me. I would change them.
  5. 2020 just keeps getting worse. RIP Eddie.
  6. Good to see someone putting safety before cost. You will be fine with a 7mm tread on one tyre and 8mm on the new tyre. Provided the new tyre is identical including the load rating. I know of people who had traction control problems after fitting a new tyre, when the other tyre on the same axle had 5mm tread remaining. This was with the Kona EV running Nexen tyres.
  7. I'd rather deal with the stone chips than look like a tit. 🤣
  8. Yes quite sad, despite a good innings. Whale Meat Again was popular with Eskimo's.
  9. There's a new fix for the 'Park' warning. Used to be a new gear selector assemble,, now it's a new micro switch. As for not changing up, it could indeed be the EGR as EGR values are directly related to engine load, and it's a closed loop system,, so gear change mapping can be messed up if EGR values are wrong.
  10. Might be the same fault symptom (coolant loss) but if it is the head gasket, different cause,, so not covered by recently replaced parts warranty. The car is now 6 years old, so I doubt Skoda UK would even consider a good will gesture at this point. There are only three head gasket thicknesses available, so if any skimming is required any warping will have to be minimal. so minimal cost will be light machining of the head, new gasket, and a set of new stretch bolts (old bolts must NOT be reused.) Plus of course labour costs. These heads sometimes develop cracks between the valve inserts, so that would be a new cylinder head.
  11. idle speed seems a bit high to me. could be the common throttle position sensor which is built into the actual throttle pedal assembly. Could also be a slight vacuum leak in the fuel vapour vent system.
  12. I found the same when i had my 1.4TSi SEL The DSG mapping seemed a bit 'off' Tried the same 'experiment' in my kona 64Kw EV when it was delivered a few weeks ago. Only one reduction gear, so only difference between eco, comfort and sport mode is throttle response. getting low rolling resistance tyres to plant 204bhp and 395Nm of torque into the tarmac requires a great deal of throttle feathering. i did discover though, that it's very quick.
  13. You need a special puller to get the coil packs out. Known problem, and even with the correct tool it's easy to break the coil packs and sleeving.
  14. Or...................................Because...............................................Dealer. 😀
  15. Quite how a dealer thought changing the water pump would fix a DSG error is quite beyond me. 😂
  16. Nail on the head mate, when the leader of the most powerful country on Earth rolls back changes Obama made, and doesn't even think climate change is real, well. Can you charge an EV using the EMP pulse from a nuke?
  17. Yes it all looks marvellous,, and I hope it all turns out as planned. As a single country solution it's fine. However, as a global picture it's a drop in the ocean. In the USA big oil have blocked charging grid attempts on several occasions. I guess we have to start somewhere, but I have only seen one BBC documentary that looked at the real climate change problem. Global population, 7.7 billion and rising rapidly. IIRC the birth rate for sustainable resources needs to be 2.4 children per family. In certain countries the figure can be as high as 15 children per family. IMHO the main stumbling block is going to be the USA. Petrol is dirt cheap even taking the fact their gallon is 20% less than the imperial gallon. Donald doesn't know what day of the week it is and oil companies are, well, powerful. I'm looking forward to getting my 300 mile range Kona Electric. I love electric cars, but they are still rather expensive despite having far fewer components than an ICE car. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/16/oil-industry-electric-car-1729429
  18. Just to be clear, I am all for the switch to EV's currently driving an Ioniq Premium SE Hybrid, and plan to switch to a Kona EV in a few years time. Call me cynical, but I have seen so many government plans that state the following. "We are going to do 'X' it will take five years and cost 'Y' Rapidly followed by 'X' is now Yx2 over budget and will be finished in ten years.
  19. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-7353297/Surge-electric-car-sales-crash-National-Grid-2040.html
  20. Not long ago the energy commission stated that the national grid was in a bad way, and a severe winter would cause power cuts. Given that this latest 'save the planet' project is being rolled out by politicians, I wonder how much thought is going into the infrastructure needed for every car on the road being electric. Then there is the whopping tax on petrol and diesel sales at the pump, how will they recover all that lost revenue? Then look at countries who's sole export is crude oil. I see change for sure, but dangerous change. In a perfect World, everyone would have access to an EV charge point, and garage forecourts would still sell petrol and diesel as the ICE car slowly died out. With clowns in charge of the entire circus, I see strange times ahead.
  21. Checkout new MOT regs. Also consider the GPF is there for reducing DEATHS from vehicle particulates.
