40k for a 9 year old diesel? That's not low mileage. That's extremely low. Have you owned the car since new? Someone might have "modified" the meter.... And isn't there a maximum age (in years) for the DSG oil?

I've had those nice cheap lights, but they generated lots of errors in my electronic modules (visible via VCDS). So I put the originals back in.

If the chain tensioner is still the original one, than it is definitely not the latest version, there have been many revisions since 2012.

If your temperature is 90°C while stationary and decreases while driving the issue is not a sensor but definitely a thermostat. And since you have a 6-speed DSG, the issue is most likely the thermostat of your DSG. Have it replaced and the problem will be solved.

If there is no park sensor switch on the center console, than the park sensors are after market (or not present at all ...). In any case we will not be able to help you, since we do not have a clue about what specific system has been installed.

I may have to correct myself: After some more digging around it looks like my memory let me down on this one. The 15" wheels did fit on the mentioned models, but it looks like they were never officially approved by Skoda. I know however of quite a few people who did use their old 15" winter wheels (195/65R15) on these models without issues.

That is not correct. They were approved for some early 1.9 diesels, and maybe also for the 1.6 successor? The versions with larger engines (1.4 TSI, 2.0 TDI and up) have 312 mm front brakes and need at least 16".

I have the same problem, but I can still open the bonnet. I think all S2's have it. The problem is that the plastic lever has deformed over the years. Study the mechanism if you want to fix it. Maybe a small mechanical modification will help, otherwise you'll have to exchange the mechanism.

@SailorBob74133, why don't you change the chain (or have it changed)? It's obviously lengthened. The oil pressure is not your problem, a worn chain is! Keeping driving with this worn chain will likely destroy your engines (ones it jumps a few teeth).

No. The S2 doesn't have that feature.

Just to be sure that your battery charge isn't consumed by a consumer: If you are handy with a multimeter, you can also measure the current consumption when the car is parked. After a few minutes this should be around 10 mA. I measured mine a few months ago (had a dead battery as well) and the current consumption was only 6 mA, which was excellent. My battery was very dead, after a few days the voltage had dropped to around 10.5V. Since both the original and the replacement (Varta E44) batteries only lasted about 4.5 years, I have now changed to an Exide EA770 battery. Hope that one lasts longer.

Most likely your battery is dead. With ignition off the reading should be around 12.5 V. 11.4V is way to low.

Why do you want to decipher these codes? Simply fix the broken wire loom, and reset the fault codes. 99% chance that they will stay away.

I may have a similar issue (window mechanism doesn't sound too healthy). Can you post that info in this topic as well?
