You don’t need VCDS etc. It’s done through the infotainment screen Vehicle > Settings > Background Lighting > Brightness Button (bottom R.H. Corner of screen) > select area "ALL" > Slider appears at bottom of screen

Agreed, nothing fundamentally wrong. 190 4x4 L&K Estate. I’ve just changed out all 4 of mine at 29.5k miles. Fronts were @2mm, rears @4.5mm. All worn evenly. Now running Michelin CrossClimate Plus all around - so far so good

From Skoda handbook

There is also a procedure in the handbook to allow the adblue level sensor to update after you re-fill. You need to turn the ignition on for ~30 seconds without starting the engine. The display normally updates and resets after about 10 - 15 seconds then on mine. After that, start engine and carry on as normal. I certainly wouldn’t store an open bottle of adblue. It horrible stuff and goes crystalline. It certainly has a limited shelf life. I buy the VAG branded stuff from a dealer & keep all the receipts. I know it’s more expensive than using a forecourt pump, but if there are any future problems with the adblue system, then they can’t use the "contaminated adblue" excuses. Adblue system repairs are VERY expensive!

The display will tell you how much can be added. It will give the minimum and maximum volumes. I add the full 10 litres just after the warning comes on and it takes it all easily

Mine has similar issues from time to time. I find that ejecting the SIM card for 30 seconds, then re-inserting it usually cures the problem.

Whilst I would agree with this where traction is poor, there is no confirmation from the OP that the wheels were actually spinning. As above, the DSG7 changes to 2nd gear too early in situations like this and then slips the clutches-A manual hold of 1st gear resolves the issue of the apparent struggle to maintain forward motion.

7 speed DSG is too keen to change from 1st to 2nd at low speed. It will then not return to 1st until the car is stationary. This could well be the clutch slipping you heard. I first noticed this in slow moving traffic on a hill, but have also experienced it when driving through similar “car parks” Try selecting 1st gear manually when in tricky situations.

These are typical figures from mine- motorway driving, fully loaded boot and “making progress” where traffic volumes allow

Be aware, that is on a run-it doesn’t like going around town in traffic where low 30’s mpg are the norm!

190 DSG 4x4 Estate. I was pleasantly surprised with the fuel returns when I first got it 😀

Agree with what @Gizmo has posted. Mine is 4x4 Estate loaded up with tools and materials and will happily achieve mid 50’s mpg at 65=70mph on motorway. 190 DSG definitely benefits from having 4x4. It is very sure footed and allows acceleration without the risk of wheel spin.

My 2019 L & K has memory seats for driver and passenger too
