2.0 Petrol vRS DSG Services Question
Rooted replied to WaveyDavey's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
@WaveyDavey What car /engine do you have with a DQ200 DSG? A DQ200 DSG has no Service Schedule, Guidelines, Recommendation or Spec for oil changes. Just saying so people do not get the wrong end of a long stick. -
1.5 TSI booked in for timing belt replacement

£920 is an OK price on a 1.5 TSI SCT for the time / labour and Original Parts used and 2 year warranty including labour when at an Approved Repairer. (That does not include a water pump.) Cheaper prices elsewhere might not be OEM parts or places quoting on a 1.5 TSI ACT and just on a 1.5 TSI. -

@Stonekeeper That would be very useful if we had the numbers up to next week and the end of 2 quarters since that figure. Anyway the delivered 200,000 supposedly.

Good, makes sense. What has the 140,000 miles to do with things though? That is not a mileage Skoda changed to last July when they changed their Advice, Recommendation or Guidelines. The guy on the service desk might not have heard of issues with tensioners either. We do not know him or who he listens to, or how closely he follows stuff in the VW Group or outwith his work place. -
An article popped up on my phone. 'One-in-five-pure-electric-vehicles on UK roads is a Tesla.' 200,000 Tesla delivered to UK customers in 10 years. (They will not all be on UK roads, there will be scrapped and exported, but it will be near enough if the DVLA can actually say how many registered in the UK, doubt they know how many in the UK though.)

2.0 Petrol vRS DSG Services Question

Timing chain. But someone else can maybe confirm. (& If it had been a Cam Belt best not assume that it is every 5 years, because VW / Skoda dropped that in the Non-Dust UK last year for TSI,s.) As to the DSG, if a DQ381 7 speed wet clutch the Service Schedule is at 80,000 miles. You might want to think on that being done sooner. & correctly. -
There are plenty towns and villages in Scotland or Straights with Digital Speed Signs with a frown or a smilly face and a speed read out. An accurate speed if you check with what ever. GPS / Sat nav, GPS / app on a watch or phone, a V-Box etc.

Next generation MINI Cooper Electric pics & Videos.

At long last Right hand drive and the UK specs. This being the more powerful car. Maybe not long until they are shown being driven and reviewed with a driver have to use the screen while driving. The ICE Version. If that is not a Clam Shell bonnet what it is? There is no vent on the bonnet, that is obvious. ICE version. -
Those without ICE cars or the need to have food or goods delivered by ICE vehicles that live in the areas should have the right to clean air. That will be hardly anyone then. Those visiting on the odd occasion should maybe pay up and shut up. But then people like being rebels with a cause, even if they are not affected.
