Had mine changed on Saturday. The Indy uses Mobil Longlife 5W-30.

I think the word bullsh1te comes to mind, given Skoda couldn’t build vehicles without the said unit. I would be calling and emailing Matthew Bowden at Skoda U.K. as he is the main Director there. Do you own, have a PCP or have the car on another form of finance? Oddly, you have greater power if it’s on finance.

Had an oil change on Saturday at Wheelbase in Hersham. Great service as usual.

A-ma-zing!! Yet more respect for you, AS! 👍🏻 (you lunatic!).

I don’t think so, because I think if you look closely at them, all the buttons are different shapes, designed specifically for that position.

Who did you use Awesam?

My insurance through Sterling, which is part of Adrian Knott, more than doubled in June 23. it increased from £267 to £590. Thought s0d that so I got it to £390 through Chris Knott, a Briskoda sponsor, so a mere 32% increase. Yep ripped-off in the U.K. once again.

I hope to gawd it never leaks. 😳

On our 2016 car, the flaps open about 15 seconds after starting from cold and seem to remain open when idling. What happens after that I honestly don’t know. As Kete said, whether they’re open or closed, the interior noise seems to be the same.

No idea if it’ll fit, so where’s the car park? 😂 Seriously, someone will be along who’ll confirm!

523bhp?? 😳Holy Feckin’ Feck!!

During lockdown, I kept the battery on trickle on my CTEK charger. I’m sure that helped with the longevity. Anyway, I’d get it changed-over ASAP. Of course, one can just get a duff one; yours might be one of ‘em.

WTF?? Yeah that’s crape, Colin….😳

Sometimes major units fail; they just do. The differential and gearbox were replaced under warranty on my first Skoda, a 2001 Octavia 1.6 Ambiante. It had 24k. I had a courtesy car for a month. They replaced the diff first because they thought that was the cause of the whine; it wasn’t, so they replaced the gearbox which fixed the issue. When they’re unsure what the cause of an issue is, It’s normal to first replace the cheapest associated unit which could be the cause.

Put Conti AllSeason on in December 23. Such an improvement on the OE Pirelli P7’s in the dry and wet and, of course, in snow. They’ve covered about 6k and have no perceptible wear.

I’m so sorry, Nick. Been there and 17 years on I still very occasionally think “I need to tell Mum about…..oh dammit”.

New battery needed methinks. Same issues you’ve had and then needed jumping twice, but finally it went kaput. Replaced the OE MOLL EFB with a Varta AGM. Bloody annoying Colin but it’s done pretty well.

Quiet here, innit….? 😴

I think it should be on a sticker in the boot?

Comprehensive? That’s the understatement of ‘24. You do know this lunatic removed the dashboard…. in its entirety for one of his mods?

The bottle is filled either filled with 100% premix or 50% topped up with 0ppm softened water and still the top nozzle gets blocked.

I’d’ve thoughts a 4x4 diesel Superb would be fine, but the max towing weight might be an issue (albeit I don’t have a Danny what a horse trailer complete with said horse would weigh!).

Nah, I’m absolutely not a genius in any way. 🤪 All I sought was an alternative to the teabag, which appeared to be safer due to better materials in a better delivery method, which I think the cartridge provides.

That’s correct. So here is the new tank… I popped it into the tank and it fits no problem and with about 80% immersion too. I’m therefore guessing it should add the protection needed to increase the operating life of the G13.

I’m guessing a dealer can tell you that. But it’d be a MKIV now; no MKIII around now.
