Front Strut Brace?
Media Teams, Journalists and those in a parallel universe on UK 60 mph NSL roads with a max 70 mph limit. They all love sportiness and handling and ultimate driving machines that corner flat etc. Then when they get a hard riding crashy car they tell us about it. We are not talking BTCC cars here, just people carriers the size often used for Airport Transport or Wedding / Funeral cars. Big motors with warm hatch performance.

Steering wheel not straight – wheel alignment unsuccessful
The car should have gone no place other than back to the Skoda Main Dealership network since a Skoda Approved Used car. Then they could have employed competent people to correct the fault. It had supposedly had 'Rigorous Check's pre sale. 'Multi Point Vehicle Checks' Carried out by partially deaf blind and full blown daffties. Now that is an issue since it has been to others.

the truth about electric cars
As to the amount of oil and gas imported or brought out from around the British isles it is the use of it or any that is to be refused and the emissions from the final products produced or used. Right now it is renewables / wind being used to reduce the emissions just getting it out of under the sea that is a huge project. The court cases on the exploration licences is about the final use of the products emissions not being part of the applications and licences already granted. Court cases pending and objections dropped last week over this. Lots of sh!t hitting fans to come. Electric fans, Fossil Fuel Fans. Just all kinds of fannies.

the truth about electric cars
England really does need to get a grip of this. The electric, the oil the gasses, and so much else that it depends on importing. Wales or some Welsh do not want the overland transmission cables to export electricity to England any more than some in Scotland do. They say spoiling beauty spots and ruining tourism. It is England that needs to be moving quicker. Frack, drill, extract and build for your own needs. PS. You say UK. You posted the National Grid for Great Britain. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Islands. Or British isles. PPS. If England get on with the Nuclear projects that eat up UK money then maybe there will be less importing needed.

My 2023 MINI Cooper S Level 3 Electric leased from Motability which will be with me for 3 years & now a 2021 MG5 as a dog wagon.

the truth about electric cars
That is fine, if used in a City, Town, Village or countryside it is a SMALL Car and requires a driving licence in the UK. (Just the Appropriate licence then for a Quadricycle with a speed up to 90 kmh in the UK and get insurance.) A Heavy Quardricycle that can go on Motorways. (I posted the vid last week in the Under £25,000 ev thread. It gets possibly 3 times the miles per kWh than i do in the MINI Electric used in town or maybe a city..)

9 miles to the kWh is quite amazing.

Problems with Kodiaq, after adding adblue
AdBlue is Adblue regardless of the Producer. It is Trade Mark. Licensed. ISO 2241. So as long as nobody sells Snide products it does not mater who produces it.

Dunblane instead of Stirling park and ride to get the toilet and turns out a 9am opening Sunday. Charger started ok for me, says 40 mins max. It is 50 and I need all that. Then an Enyaq turns up and needs charged and onto Glasgow and charger will not release. Just the usual. I might be ok with charging speed and getting to 100% as I have 100 miles until charging again.

Probably moving to an Audi A4 (update 21/03/25 - or will it be a Roomster?...)
Passing tumbleweed time with 1.9 TDI thoughts until there is more to come on the possible in coming A4.

1.2 TSi DSG Reliability
If it drives ok then that is fine. If it has not been done and outstanding it still gets done Free. It was a Service Campaign / Recall Action. Worth having done. http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions It did not show on here for a few years ans still might not, and would not show if carried out, but there should be a sticker in the spare tyres well with '34H5' and a date and dealers stamp.

1.2 TSi DSG Reliability
@SteveXFR Check if it,s DQ200 DSG required and had the Service Campaign '34H5' carried out at the Main Dealers in 2017. That was started in 2017 on some from 2013-2015. Not all required it doing, but ask if it was done. A Skoda Main Dealer can check or Skoda Customer Services might actually. or just refer you back to a Dealership. (It was a preventative measure against pressure / heat issues and failures, a software update. Has it had new spark plugs, is there a clean air filter fitted, and when was the brake fluid last replaced?

- the truth about electric cars
Parks Motor Group (of Hamilton) have dealerships for various brands around Scotland. They have what used to be known as the Golden Lion Garage in Arbroath. I see they have an application in for signs for their new Dealership of cars from a Chinese Manufacturer Chery. Never heard of the brands Omoda & Jaecoo. ICE, Hybrid,s, EV,s.- 2013 Paint code

- DSG box
@Nico1881 You can ask the Sealer Person to show that the car has not only a FSH or FMDSH but actually serviced before you collect it to the Manufacturers Guidelines or Schedule. The Car is maybe out of Warranty but they have to be selling a car of merchantable quality. and 30 days without the new Warranty is nothing because they have the Consumer Rights to be thinking about. ? Any reason the car is not a Skoda Approved Used Car? ,- DSG box
Fixed Service Regimes as Manufacturer Recommendations, Guidelines, Specification, Schedule. The Cam Belt & DSG not applicable as shown here & the Air Filter schedule is ridiculous. Check Annually.- DSG box
A DQ200 DSG does not need Oil Changes for peace of mind. Leave well alone.- 2024 Lead/Delivery Time
@Plobber I assume that was a Dealerships Sales person (Executive) you spoke to. What else are they likely to say? 12 weeks or 16 weeks. ? Which Dealership Group was that at? - the truth about electric cars
