No, the estate has much larger roof, so...

Stop using them then, they're completely unnecessary in the UK, you won't be able to fool the ECU because it works on current drain and LEDs use a lot less current.

Modern turbo engines such as yours run better on E10 because it means the ECU can use more ignition advance so it's definitely not that. You're catastrophising, relax.

That is a crazy price, did you have the car towed to them?

That's part of the reason for the move to mani-cats, they're basically impossible to steal.

...or mobility scooters.

I would have broken the rear door glass rather than the front, smaller and easier to replace with less stuff in the door but not the quarterlight, much harder to find and fix. That windscreen is worth an insurance claim with a £75 excess @AnnoyingPentium

Under bonnet.

PD engines are robust but only takes one duff oil change to kill them, this means you have to be careful where you get the service work done, find a decent independent VW specialist and stick with them.

Reliability on the BKY is excellent, one of the most reliable VW petrol engines.

Are you kidding me? Engine Oil should always be checked when cold, it's always been that way, my 1967 Hillman Imp was the same!

3% at worst, in this case that's 52mpg instead of 54mpg. OP, If you're basing this entire thread on the MFA reading then it's a waste of time, you need to brim the tank and calculate average mpg that way, the MFA isn't accurate.

There might be about a teaspoonful of oil left in the engine after draining, but you should put in the full 3.5 litres recommended.

We know, you're just here to argue about semantics. What is that dark tint at the top of some Skoda windscreens called please? My Elegance has it, I could have sworn it was called a sunset tint because it goes from a very dark tint at the top to a lighter (legal) tint all over.

...because sunset glass is for the windscreen with the deeper tinted band along the top.

I wouldn't worry who does it, most TDI remaps on 15 year old cars are generic by now, all the clever stuff happened early on during map development.

There is no stage 2 remap, you'd need a bigger turbo but the engine isn't anywhere near as strong as the 1.9 so I'd be chary of going any further than where you already are. Further mods would frankly be a waste of money.

If you cut neat holes in the seat cover and fit the plastic trim sockets it should slide straight in I reckon.

Fabia is a Polo 9N platform, Octavia is a Golf platform, Golf is wider than Polo so the driveshafts are too long, driveshafts from a 1.9 or 2.0 Fabia should fit but you'll probably need the struts and hubs as well which is a good idea because then you can fit the big brakes.

There's a lot of hot air in this thread but I suspect there's precious little actually getting into your engine. The first place to start is to check you're getting boost because I think your turbo has failed, god alone knows how the remapper missed it but there is no way that car should be slow, remapped it should go nearly as well as a standard VRS so it's seriously ill.

Miles. Just reset it.

You'd better get the paint code from the boot floor sticker or there'll be some spitting and sperging, I'm readying myself for a torrent of vitriol for getting the name of the colour wrong...

I have a sneaking suspicion it may be electric blue, just got that vibe from the last photo...

So just to be clear, are wet sills normal or should they be dry?

If your car is standard then a generic remap is fine, a rolling road tune is really only necessary on highly modified diesel engines, and by standard I mean it has the standard turbo, not that it has fluffy dice and a load of coloured crap stuck all over the engine bay. So that's a 'yes'.
