It is straight forward for the trained but takes quite a few hours and the equipment cost them lots. So leave as is. & the DQ200 DSG has no service interval. Requirements. But have the spark plugs changed at 40,000 miles, look at the Air Filter and change when needed, do not leave 6 years until checked. Pollen filter check now. . ? What is in the FSH? Was the pollen filter changed in 2021, 2023? Were the spark plugs replaced at 4 years so 2023? Was the brake fluid changed in 2022? That is a History of Full Dealer Servicing to the Manufacturers Guidelines, Recommendations or Schedule if they were.

Aaa Parks of Hamilton. I would seriously advise you avoid. What they do not know at their service desk is really amazing considering how long they have been a Dealership. I suppose it will need to be Henrys you use. Sir Arnolds being as trusted as Parks. If you can find a good Independent VW Specialist.

You are unlikely to see much about a schedule for the rear diff oil change. But i would think that use like maybe doing water crossing / wading, launching boats in fresh or salt water or offroading might have owners think about having it done when ever they think. Certainly within 8 years or 80,000 miles even if just used for road use,

The UK really has not that much of a car manufacturing industry for the home market & they can not meet the requirements that will not have them meeting the percentage of parts from Europe or the EU, and will have even less since really we have not the materials to build them without those being imported from the far east or the Americas, North or Southm and certainly not the chips or batteries or the facilities to manufacture with imported materials. As it is the Car Workers there are in the UK will very likely with the encouragement of the unions be balloting for strike action over a demand for better pay and working condition. It is the British way. Cut your nose off to spite your face.

Did you not read that from 13 months ago the Recommendation / Guidelines / Advice or Schedule from Skoda / VW UK is no longer 5 years or 50,000 miles. The Water Pump would not be included in the £973 if you want to have the cam belt done. But then the water pump does not need doing. Nice fixed price from them, did they advise on the new schedule? Or not mention that?

What will be the big issue will be 2nd Hand / Used EV,s on the market in the UK and their loss of value to who owns them which is the Financial Institutions manly other than were there is a Owner that bought with their own money. If the Manufacturers / Importers have to unload enough EV,s to meet the 22% Zero Emission target this year then there will be an affect on used sales. An issue for the Government and everyone's works Pensions with whatever Fund Managers probably. The Budget Announcement will be important and any othef announcement from the Chancellor or the Secretary of State for Transport, Energy or whoever.

Yes, And differences across the USA on infrastructure and tax benefits, as there is across Europe / EU or UK. EU Interference really is a major issue. the WLTP con that is no more World Wide than fly in the air. Just a nonsense as is EU Countries that have held back years of improving engine efficiencies. Kicking Euro 7 emissions into the future as much as they could get away with. Euro 7 Emissions meaning that manufacturers will not offer small ICE vehicles. There are electrified though with MHEV,s.

But there are many Plug in Hybrid cars on the market because this is Europe. & the Government made them cheap for Business users regardless of if they run on electric. So location location location matters. But then in the UK a £40,000 limit or over makes a difference to many. The Car Manufacturers caused their own problem by keeping pumping out big fat fuel guzzlers that make profits and then electrifying them for the Tax Reasons and not just getting on with sensible cars at sensible prices that go as far as they are supposed to according to Fake Testing, WLTP / RDE2. Diesel Hybrids can work, but VW / BMW / Daimler Benz were caught cheating.

Really Mericans, Australians and others are on whole different continents. Mericans have a car and vehicle manufacturing industry and Australia has not. Plus big places with different parts of the countries with very different ideas on Energy, pollution, climates and even water. The Far East will be what makes a difference on what happens in Europe, and in America & Australia and elsewhere around the globe.

Madness of the Westminster Government that was Conservative and Unionist and the Labour Party in waiting being no smarter. But then Politicians do not pay for their travel expenses for work or even lots of time for their families to get about. The UK is what it is and England is what it is. Lacking Energy be it Electric or Fossil Fuels or Energy Security from Bio or Synthetic fuels, because resources poor. Leave the EU and pith off the world, and support Oil Rich countries in killing the innocent and still have no energy security. You reap what you sow. The Labour Party think they can stop Petroineos doing what they want in Scotland. The Billionaire Business (Steel) Magnets are hands out again to keep open the works that the UK public have put billions into foe decades.

Missed by miles / ev miles because VW Group had all the stuff about under £20,000 & under £25,000 EV,s and could not do it and get them sold. They stupidly did not ramp up UP!MiiCitigo electrics. Truth being not enough chips or batteries. Dacia never got the Spring on sale in the UK. Tesla never did the cheaper model & Stellantis never dropped the prices. So now they are stuffed and are going to have to import and first register cars and punt the cheap, maybe at a loss to save from paying a £15,000 penalty on the ICE vehicles.

More than double the distance so an extra 80 miles return trip.

@Johnboyab Where in Scotland are you, or the car?

Steering lock, parking brake lock, wheel clamp. Or a hidden cut out switch. If someone wants a 7 year old Fabia that is parked up they might just pick it up with a crane arm and onto a flat bed to take and part out. Nobody is going Joy Riding or Ram Raiding in one are they.

@Johnboyab What is the back story, not just on the 'Back Order', why do you need a New ECU. I doubt they are a common thing that people are having to order via TPS.

Welcome. Try an internet search. Were they a Spec / TRIM for the EU including Ireland and also sold in Northern Ireland (UK).

Have your new in 2024 1.5 TSI Fabia Mk4,s being arriving with Rear Disc brakes? & in the UK other than Northern Ireland since July with Speed Limit Warnings activated / enabled and if so in what form just a Audible Sound warning?

Is there no reference to VW508 00 / 509 00 so 0w 20 FS IV for fixed or Variable servicing. the VW509 00 being for a TDI. (As VW Group went to in 2018 for getting WLTP results for Certification.) Then it can be VW504 00 / 507 00, 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III, VW507 00 being for a TDI. Fixed or Variable / Flexible Service Regimes.

Yet another not a BMW M135i !

January this year. It is nearly a year since i last used that chargers.

UK / Scotland. Really there needs to be more than that happening. EDIT. Strange nothing about a Car Fire, disabled driver or passengers or not in Falkirk. But anyone with a Fisker has been put on notice.

Do Electrified cars that burn out be them a MHEV, PHEV or BEV just get left on the public highway after the fire has extinguished & the emergency services, fire fighters have left?

The recent deaths in the car accidents in the Falkirk area, and building fires are in the news this past weeks. As for the Car Fire, strange not even on Facebook or in local press.

No use with keyless entry / start where you can not lock your car because you left a spare key fob in the car.

This man needs to get real. Maybe visit Falkirk. Falkirk so not posh or known for money about, disabled bay so probably a Motability car and an EV. What a tw-at.
