OMG my attention was all on the black vRS next to yours. Having met him last year spent a considerable amount of time in conversation!

Skodafest 2026 Stanford Hall LE17
I managed to give it a wash last night as the sun was not so shining, out front. Hoping to give it a quick spruce this morning, might have to cover it due to potential rain overnight. The plan is still to attend. You know this Stanford Hall is Lutterworth not Northampton. Plus there is an entry fee? There are various sites like Facebook etc listing it. 30 year anniversary of Octavia and 125 years of Skoda motorsport amongst other things. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/stanfordhall1/2086735

At the moment yes but getting around to giving the car a wash is proving a challenge in this weather. The thing is filthy 🤕

Anyone with more than one car ?
It’s the torque that puts a smile on my face on the diesels. The Fab just pulls really well. I do find it very noisy in the cabin and it has quite a firming ride, as it should. I do want to go faster in it for sure. The space is small inside for the family plus there are no mod cons Bluetooth, cruise both could be sorted easily but left it standard for now. In the 280 I wish it had some of that push you back shove. You do go fast without realising it as it’s very quiet. I have become more calmer in that 280 just set the ACC on my journeys and let it do its thing. Remember it is an L&K estate maybe what it was made for 🤔

280 losing coolant
Thanks it is in fact G13 as I went to check at lunch, at the same time half a litre may not impact the strength too much if use water instead? My main concern is to understand if it could be the waterpump on the Gen 4 engines also

280 losing coolant
Thread revival time My 280 2023 came up with a coolant light warning yesterday, i think it might be on the min as opposed to max. What do we use to top up these days I have something in the garage G12 or 13 of the proper VAG stuff from TPS. On this generation of EA888.4 do these water pump issues continue to plague the TSI. I am not sure if I should call out the breakdown to check this now as I have 2 years full RS and warranty cover on this used car and its better then being stranded if it gets worse all of a sudden. PS its just under 50k on the miles. I did about 240 miles yesterday it went off on the return leg from Enfield. Once the bonnet was opened it never returned, on the drive at home when still warm it was more low level biased. Advice welcomed

Another Misfire Topic
Direct injection maybe needs carbon clean get them intakes etc checked. It does happen.

Burned electronics smell from engine compartment
Sometimes if you spill some oil on top up you may get a burning smell on some cars ?
-
Standard or Damptronic dampers?
I used the same trick I have before and unplugged the battery monitor cable and I have disabled stop/start. No tools and no cost.
