  1. I would be concerned about the oil ash residue percentage figure - I've seen mention of 80% being the limit so if you feel that you're having too frequent regens and your fuel consumption isn't great, it might be because the DPF doesn't take long to go from 'empty' to 'full' in terms of soot because it's already holding a lot of ash. If I were you, I'd keep a very close eye on it and consider getting the DPF cleaned (after getting proper, professional advice - I know very little about these things). All that said, the VAG DPF is very sensitive to engine code and you can get strange readings if it's not the correct one. Here's a similar post: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/442991-dpf-questions-i-know/
  2. Mine regens roughly every 250km/155 miles. I get (very roughly) 1000km to a tankful so that's four regens per tankful on a mix of rural/motorway running. Mine's a 2021 model but it definitely regens a lot more than any other diesel that I've had. For some reason, it uses a lot less AdBlue as well.
  3. Mine shows between 0.7 hPa and 3.6 hPa in normal use and over 7 hPa when regenerating
  4. I've tried a few dealers around (I'm in Kildare too) but have settled on Spirit Foster as they've looked after me very well for recent servicing and a warranty claim. Dalton's aren't too far away in Portlaoise and they'll usually give a free courtesy car. I'd also be interested in the details of the indy in Blanchardstown if you find the details. I'm out of warranty in July and main dealer prices for discs/pads etc are hefty
  5. Who was the helpful dealer? - it'd be good to know for future reference
  6. Its hard to spot in daylight because of the way the reflectors, well, reflect but easily spotted at night with a torch. There's a small recess and the damage is occurring at the edge of that recess. My warranty expires next month but I don't fancy my chances of persuading the garage staff that the issue is there, unless they view it at night. I would love to know if there's a TPI about it. The German Skoda forum is silent about it.
  7. Mine is doing the same on both sides. I've a 2021 MY with non-matrix LEDs. When I saw this post originally, I had a quick look and didn't spot anything. You need to look at the light from below to see the melting on the upper surface of the reflector. Second in from the side of the car on both sides. I live in Ireland so obviously not a warm country....
  8. Some of those symptoms sound like a broken/damaged loom in one of the doors. Might be worth inspecting the driver's door wiring if you get a chance
  9. I have Primacy 4 S1s on mine and find them better than the Eco-contacts that they replaced. They're rated as A, A, 72db. If I were buying a new set again, I'd go for 245 45 18 as the Primacy 4 is rated at 68db in that size (with a small penalty in terms of a B rating for fuel consumption). I'd prefer the wider size mainly to gain a little in terms of rim protection. If you're just buying two, there's a Volvo optimised version (VO) rated at 70db in the original size. They're not a noisy tyre by any means but on rough asphalt, every little helps.
  10. One of the things that I use mine for is keeping an eye on its movements when it's being serviced. When its moved out of the service building, I know that it's probably time to go and collect it rather than waiting another three hours for the service receptionist to phone me and tell me that its ready. Remote locking/unlocking is a really handy feature too.
  11. Over here in Ireland, Skoda are giving HVO vouchers up to €500 value when a new diesel Skoda is purchased (https://www.skoda.ie/discover-skoda/hvo). Its more or less the same price as B9 diesel here but its still not widely available. It is an attractive option, given the immediate CO2 benefits as well as reducing fossil fuel dependency but it really only has environmental benefits if its fully traceable and can be proven to have no links to deforestation associated with palm oil. Crown Oil in the UK and Neste in the Netherlands have documented and certified their sources. As to the OP's question, my 2021 MY Superb regenerates the DPF every 275 to 340km. I've used the DPF Monitor app to look more closely at this and can see that it can regenerate the DPF at idle and will resume an interrupted regeneration within a few minutes of a cold start. No need for motorway runs to help regenerate the DPF although I suspect that it would be quicker and use less fuel to regenerate at a constant higher speed.
  12. Your gas temperatures look very low - mine are showing higher than that for normal use and especially for regen
  13. Yes, the third one. I agree that it looks like something that was at hand rather than the actual Skoda one. Is there much adjustment time with adhesion primer? Does the door have to be left ajar for a period of time after fitting the seal?
  14. Has anyone replaced the outer door seal on one of the rear doors? The seal on one of mine was replaced about a year ago as part of a damaged door replacement. The repairer left a gap at the bottom of the seal, there are no drain holes at the lowest part of the seal and the seal itself does not quite match the one on the opposite door. The replacement has a rounded profile whereas the original has a slight peak. I could bodge a repair by filling the gap at the bottom of the seal and creating a couple of drain holes but for the sake of €50 or so for the seal and the risk of leaks, it seems to be better to replace. Rear seat passengers have complained about motorway noise on that side of the car and the inner door shut is getting dirty whereas the other three stay clean in comparison. I've looked online for a video showing the replacement but can't find any. I'm really looking for information around the application of adhesive. Any videos that I've found for other marques show seals held by clips whereas the Skoda one appears to be bonded. Has anyone here replaced the seal?
  15. What is the coolant temperature showing as?
