  1. That will take several years, maybe even decades, to kick in as many people will have pre-existing health issues caused by pollution levels.
  2. It would help if we knew what model Skoda you have and what year it is - not all of them have the same tweaks.
  3. Is that the link you intended, that thread only has one reply which says:
  4. That's still direct injection.
  5. Remember these engines have direct injection so there is much less hydrocarbon crud in the inlet manifold area to dirty up the MAF than on older indirect injection engines.
  6. There is no market for a professional thief to sell a stolen Skoda, they focus on "premium" brands and often steal to order. Have you managed to get data from ANY of the tracker type companies on how many cars are NOT recovered? No, because they refuse to publish it since their return rate is not significantly better than cars not fitted with a tracker type device, which IMHO makes them a waste of money. The car immediately before my Octavia was an Audi RS4 Avant which I owned for 10 years from new WITHOUT a Tracker - your Kodiaq (while a very nice car) is not in the "radar" of professional thieves to anything like the same extent as that RS4.
  7. It might if it would only let me login, even after changing my password (so I know I'm using the correct password) I'm stuck in a loop where Skoda Connect Lite is asking me to login - not impressed
  8. Not a 1.6D but we have a 1.4TSI manual estate and over the 3 years we've lived in North Devon our long term average is 47mpg, so 44mpg from your 1.6D does seem low.
  9. Are you using the same cable between phone and Amundsen?
  10. WOW! 14 sounds a very large and pretty random number?
  11. But my vehicle, a 2015 Octavia 1.4TSI Elegance, is NOT a compatible vehicle so there's no point me buying a subscription as my car wasn't built with the hardware to enable Skoda Connect. So by discontinuing the MySkoda app they are making it impossible for me to access some of the data I currently can.
  12. Which if you don't have Skoda Connect because you have an Octavia that was manufactured without the hardware to use Skoda Connect means you lose some of the (very few) useful features of My Skoda - like access to the Digital Service Record
  13. Conspiracy alert! Has Hamilton really tested positive or is he just making a point about not wanting to drive in a country that he has said has a bad civil rights issue?
  14. What I've been doing since the start of Lockdown 1 in March.
  15. Can you get XL rated tyres for your Yeti? Or maybe tyres intended for SUVs in the correct size for your Yeti? They are usually built with a tougher constructions than tyres intended for cars.
  16. Y is the speed rating, i.e. 186mph - simples!
  17. That's the F1 Autocentre showing the Load Rating combined with the Speed Rating. Load Ratings The clue is it says 92Y XL - which means the tyre has a Y speed rating (186mph/300km/h) and a 92 XL load rating (630kg, higher than a non-XL version of the same tyre due to stiffer sidewalls).
  18. Shy - we're still in National Lockdown until December 2nd, which according to gov.uk means: So enjoy your birthday celebration but admitting on a public forum that you're breaking the lockdown restrictions isn't a particularly bright thing to do?
  19. There's a simple table of what the tyre speed rating letters mean here.
  20. I've had 2 NIPs (one in 2003 and one in 2008) both of which arrived in time so I had to just accept the punishment. First one was 3 points and a fine PLUS a speeding awareness course (I was in potential 6 point territory), the second was just 3 points and a fine.
  21. WOW! That's a 56% to 80% price increase for the 150kW chargers.
  22. I don't think you'll get very far as Skoda clearly quote that the up to 55km is in the WLTP cycle and not in the real world.
  23. Golf 8 deliveries were delayed several months after the press release to enable VW to sort out "software problems" - it sounds like they didn't delay long enough? Worst Golf launch ever?
  24. I'm still on the original battery after over 5 years, start/stop left active.
