£1.50 per mile??!!
That will take several years, maybe even decades, to kick in as many people will have pre-existing health issues caused by pollution levels.

Change to MpH
It would help if we knew what model Skoda you have and what year it is - not all of them have the same tweaks.

Skoda Connect Lite
Is that the link you intended, that thread only has one reply which says:

MAF
That's still direct injection.

MAF
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.

How To Stop Our car being stollen throught OBD2 port ?
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.

Skoda Connect Lite
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

1.6 TD DSG (spirited) mpg question
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.

Android Auto not working with new phone (Android 11)
Are you using the same cable between phone and Amundsen?

Expansion bottle replacement
WOW! 14 sounds a very large and pretty random number?

Skoda Connect Lite
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.

Skoda Connect Lite
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

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?

Suggestions for rough surface and windy roads
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.

All Weather tyres and Summer tyres
Y is the speed rating, i.e. 186mph - simples!
-
All Weather tyres and Summer tyres
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).

2020 F1 Discussion
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?

There's a simple table of what the tyre speed rating letters mean here.

Superb IV improving battery performance
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.

KPH/MPH
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?
