I do not click on his vids anymore. I have now read the various news articles covering the fire

See the pinned thread at the top of the Octavia Mk2 section on the 1.8 & 2.0 TSI,s.

Other than the engine issue. Servicing it should have had. DSG every 40,000 miles or sooner. Haldex 4x4 serviced each 3 years / 30,000 miles or sooner. Properly serviced.

Welcome. Sadly the 1.8 TSI is the engine to avoid. Obviously everyone can not be bad, some might have had replacement engine, or a rebuild, or have just been looked after and lasted till now. But!

They will be getting desperate to get EV,s first registered before the end of the year if not meeting the 22% that they and their partners need to have, or they will be getting fined £15,000 for cars sold / first registered. Unless they ration the ICE vehicles to get to where they need to be. That might result in pre reg cars, lots of pre reg EV,s. But then they need to get new ones punted again next year, and year on year more and more.

That is the Kia EV9 then. £65,000 starting price though.

Waiting for the smart people on this forum that know about batteries or EV,s to maybe comment. I thought you knew stuff and were just looking for others to confirm.

They might do if they see your post. I will flag for @Breezy_Pete, he might be able to help.

I do not know any of the answers. Electricity is magic as far as i am concerned. Fires are scary. But i think. The Battery will not discharge if not running anything, getting over the air updates etc. Well the 5 Electric Bikes i have sitting with 75% of charge have never dropped. You can not charge the EV battery more than the cells will take can you? If the battery pack has less capacity than when new. The reduced capacity battery (cells) will still charge at the maximum charging on AC will they not. & take no more than they can take. Is that not what Onboard Chargers and controllers are all about.

^^^ Nonsense. It covers the hole that is there if it is not fitted. & put tape over the slots in the cover and you might know why they are there.

Plenty threads here over a decade plus about actually fitting the glasses holder if the car came as in the picture. The colour etc.

Good seeing driving in what might be common weather conditions, traffic etc even if not done in the UK.

@Plums Spending the money on an Extended Warranty might be more sensible than remapping a 1.4 TSI and having no kind of warranty on a PHEV.

^^^ As said in the Youtube vid comments. He 'could give used car salespeople a good name.' I will just put this here, it could go to the Legal section. I am interested in the law in England / Wales or Scotland or Northern Ireland if buying a used Renault Zoe with Leased Battery. Say i see a Renault Zoe for sale. I get a HPI check, i check the MOT history, i go see the car at where ever, private seller at home, work, at KFC or a trader / dealer. I check the car, the V5, their ID, i test drive it, want to buy it, i have cash & i insure it and buy it and drive away. ? How am i to know there is a Battery Leased if Renault UK are not the Registered Keeper, or the person with the V5 & the car and they do not tell me they only own part of the car. (Same thing if you buy an ICE vehicle that has a new engine and gearbox that the Registered Keeper got a loan to fit, or paid with a Credit Card and it has an outstanding balance to pay.) ? Are Renault UK going to try and get the car i am now the Registered Keeper of, are they taking me to a Court in the country i live in or keep the car in. ? What legal redress have they against me, or even who i bought it from who also never knew there was a Leased Battery and never signed any agreement? ***There should be a Plate on the vehicle that is not easily removed, or a message that appears on the car when charging stating. Battery owned by Renault UK. Lease payment agreement required or return battery to owner. Return Postage paid..*** LOVE THE BIT ABOUT A BANK MAYBE BEING ABLE TO DISABLE THE BATTERY REMOTELY. Is this a UK Bank & is this after some COURT JUDGEMENT or something issued by whoever? ? Can Court Bailiffs in which ever country of the UK actually seize a vehicle because part of the vehicle is owned by A.N.Other and if the person requires the vehicle to earn a living can they even disable it?

@gocitigo did you not consider an Enyaq?

Welcome. Sorry no idea. Is this a 2010 Octavia vRS or a Fabia vRS? A mod can maybe move your post.

I will just put this here instead of a new thread or in the Mk4 Superb Section.

Sorry i know nothing about your car, but is the no Key for turning off for having a Child Seat in the front seat. Or does that have a different message?

& for some reason the Secretary of State for Scotland and others in the last Westminster Government thought a Small Modular Nuclear could be at Chappelcross. Seemingly destined now as a Green Energy Hub focusing on hydrogen production and storage. Loads and loads of public money seemingly going to be spent, just needs a developer and loads and loads more money.

Park them on the Thames and power London.

Maybe best stick to the original thread. Has it had the Haldex Serviced at least twice? @Jimbobnob Was it the Dealer Principal, the Sales Person or a Tech or Master Tech that test drove your car and says it is characteristic of the car? Was there not another one there that you could have driven to compare and see if it was faulty because it never made the same noise?
