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.

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.

Surprised that past the MOT, looks like pretty severe leakage to me. I would change them.

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.

I'd rather deal with the stone chips than look like a tit. 🤣

Thanks for the update. Plus a happy ending. 😀

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.

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.

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.

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.

Title say sit all really... Battery, should be 12.5 volts minimum after 2 hrs of non use. If it's less than that, consider a new battery. Diesel batteries get clobbered, and with PAS alone capable of taking 60 AMPS a good battery is essential. Screen Wash. Use plenty of screenwash additive to prevent freezing of washer fluid. Too little and you risk blowing pipes off the washer pump or tailgate fittings. Wipers. Check blades are in good condition. Don't operate wipers if frozen to the screen. If you do F15 will most likely blow. Tyres. 3mm minimum tread. 1.6mm is the legal limit, but you really need 3mm or more for winter use. Check the spare wheel condition and pressure, Nothing worse than getting a puncture, only to discover the spare is flat. Aircon. Use it now and again during winter to prevent system seals drying out and leaking due to lack of use. Carry a bag of rags to clean lights between washes. Edit: Have anti freeze protection level checked. 50/50 G12 works nicely
