Not a iv, 2.0 tsi

Mileage is low to be fair, 15k from new, only thing I’ve got is a ignition fed dash cam which only comes on when engine is running, just wondering if battery is on its way out or a fault on battery management System, it has got the dreaded Moll battery fitted

Hi all, 2020 superb sportline 2.0 tsi, comes up with driving battery low, drive to charge, battery comes up good on vw tester, charging rate is 13.9 volts when running, got a static fault of NV energy management alarm triggered in system which won’t clear, anyone seen this before as it’s got me stumped, thanks in advance

Ignore any comments about the 272, I’ve owned one from new 2020, it’s amazing, loads of power and very linear, I work at Skoda and don’t see any faults apart from the thermistor housing leak, but this is on all 2.0tsi, the gpf/opf isn’t a issue and the new 280 has one, to put it in context the early 280 was good the 272 is in my opinion fantastic and the new 280 is also very good, just depends on your finances at what you want to pay,

Not trying to answer your question, I don’t know why your dealer cancelled, that’s something you need to contact your dealer and find out why, it could be a number of reasons, but any of the criteria’s set by Skoda need at least a visual inspection to know what actions need to be taken, we do loads and some are literally a visual check but some are mats and heat pads, just need the engine to be cold to fit the mats as you can seriously burn yourself

Dsg only but petrol and diesel are affected, different criteria’s need different actions, some are a visual only, others require a addition heat pad fitting behind the current heat mat and some require both a heat mat and a pad fitting to the plastic take off, also the reason for some dealers wanting the car for a long time is the dpf or opf gets stinking hot and access is poor to do the job and techs don’t have asbestos hands lol

The petrol 2 ltrs can suffer from the thermistor unit leaking, easy to diagnose as you can see coolant stains under the front of the engine sump, easy job once you have done a few or even better if you have warranty

If the water pump/ thermostat housing was replaced under warranty a water pump belt would/should have been replaced, the cambelt wouldn’t have been touched, the cambelt doesn’t drive the water pump as it has its own drive belt

Right I know all the purists inc myself would say get a map but. ive got a 272 sportline and would dearly love to have it mapped but ive got extended warranty and don’t want to land in the **** if anything goes wrong and the claim gets rejected, part of the warranty process is to check for td1 (map) if it’s anything to do with engine/ drivetrain faults, looking at these boxes is a mind field so was wondering if any of you fine people had any dealings/ recommendations, used them on diesels in the past but not petrol, thanks in advance for any info or help you can give

Circled red for you

The actual adblue injector is near to the brake fluid reservoir on the exhaust, stand looking under the bonnet from the front of the car and it’s the top left of the engine with a adblue feed pipe and 2 small coolant pipes going to it

If it’s the estate then they haven’t got locating holes

Shift patterns aren’t adjustable just basic factory settings, the box learns the driver’s characteristics by seeing throttle positions and the amount of gear changes it needs for the roads its Travelling on etc, so a car that is sat doing motorway miles will change differently to a car that constantly does short journeys, also a driver that has a heavy foot compared to a driver that is a Sunday driver, those cars will change differently as well, this is called self learning, this can be re set by doing basic settings 👍
