Welcome. You now need to use the Reg no., or VIN, or ask the vendor telling them the VIN. But then i am pretty certain it is this Number.

Halifields Car Park High Street Earl Shilton. Pod Points, 8 plugs 30 pence a kWh. Plugshare. *Eunice Kad with a Peugeot e-2008 charged there, but that is with a 2023 car.* E21 TJK is a 2021 Amp Sucker posted 40 pence a unit in 2023... ZapMap shows. Keates Lane Earl Shilton shows an InstaVolt at the Co-op so that is 85 pence a kWh. The Peugeot getting 4 miles a kWh would be costing £8.50 to go 40 miles. More likely 37 miles. Wentworth Arms Pub is 59 pence a kWh.

@glv Welcome to the forum. Maybe not worth reading through 1,000 + posts, but checking out just a few threads might be.

Just a silly plonker with an EV then.

If a 6 speed wet clutch DQ250 DSG then the service interval is at 40,000 miles so if not done before your ownership then long overdue. An Oil and filter change.

There have been Fabia that since new have the water come out of the bottom of doors. Or water gather for ages because the passenger door does not get used. There used to be Serviced Advice on regularly clearing the drain holes. Those that do not get water going in the doors might be more unusual than those that do. The new cars had new window seals.

What servicing has the gearbox had over the years and how long since the last time or how many miles since?

@arthurmo is it 11 months since the last oil change 2,000 miles ago and is the car set for fixed oil and filter changed? 9,400 miles 372 days. If it is set on variable so 24 months and 18,000 - 20,000 miles and was not reset last time then not much to be done than have who ever did not do their job fix things. If you are only doing 2,000 miles a year then fixed oil changed are correct. If you are not doing DIY checks, inspections / servicing you do need someone else to and not leave things for 2 years between.

Welcome. Sorry no idea but i bumped a thread in the Fabia Mk2 section. No idea if the right ones for it fit. with the hole in the door jam for the pin. Until someone that knows comes along look for these threads.

Bump for @Jake1

The drop links are so common an issue with Corsa's as is Main Dealerships getting in the wrong ones to do a repair.(Do they really not have any ever left in stock or do they just go through some many.) Replaced twice on the Corsa electric i had before it even had a MOT carried out, and they thought they were getting away with doing just one side under warranty.

Bump.

Yes others have had issues over the past 2 decades. & they accept eventually and evolve. Well VW Group have evolved and developed a bit while really not doing enough about their lemons, other than the RECALL,s Globally that did not include Europe. Or Service Campaigns that are not well publicised, So the DQ381 is the latest developed DSG / Twin Clutch other than the DQ400-e. They have ba-llsed up again and have not yet acknowledged publicly that they have. Globally there are premature failures. It is going to cost them and cost them lots, once in other world regions the amount of failures become clear. VW Group. VW, VW Commercial, Audi, Skoda, SEAT / Cupra, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini. Now they are even turning out Lemons partnered with FORD. Who made a right c-ock up with Durashifts & Powershifts.

The major difference was / is the 1.6 TDI CR and that belt snapping / chain tensioner failing. As far as we are with Euro 6 on 1.5 TSI ACT,s there is no common failures. Some are from people without a clue doing a cam belt change at what seems like a cheap price. Same with 1.0 TSI,s to a lesser extent.

Welcome. There are a couple of threads down the page from the past week on 1.4 TSI twinchargers with the same issue or dilemma as you have.

Not 'much cheapness' but i have found these handy and with EV,s with 100 kW max charging i got the 75 kW for quite well into the battery charging.

Bump for @tfspark

Sadly the reports of premature failures with DQ381,s MCU,s is becoming common and not just on this forum. An oil & filter change is unlikely to resolve anything. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/505078-mechatronic-control-unit-failure Those without issues with DQ381,s might be best to consider getting it serviced correctly well before the 80,000 mile recommendation, guidelines, advice or schedule given by VW / Skoda. Anyone getting quoted around £200 for the Oil & Filter change of a DQ381 DSG needs to ask themselves and the people quoting that if they know what they are doing and have not only the gear but more than just an idea. (on what they are doing.)

@apd007 is it a 90 kWh battery ? (84.7 usable). It has 100 kW max charging speed. ? What size of charger do you think you would be to take 2 hours to get to 50% ? Your are just putting in under 45kWh for half the battery. On a 50 kW charger that might be 70 minutes. For a 100kW charger JLR says charge up to 80% in just under 40 minutes. The WLTP range of 285 miles might be pushing it but surely a full battery must give at least 3 x 80 in summer weather so 240 miles.

If all the fluids in the car / engine are colored or have a smell or taste and you are losing none of them it is water that came out of the sky or formed as ice / condensation and then dripped.

A MINI Cooper S or JCW petrol FWD or AWD getting 36 mpg on super unleaded @ £7 a gallon could go 108 miles for £21. If you get 45 mpg then near 2.5 gallons @ £7 is £17. A quick diesel getting 55 MPG 110 miles from 2 gallons for £14. MINI Cooper Electric, Remember, figures are 32.6 kW/h battery with 28.9 usable supposedly. Starting from 100% from home nearly always, or sometimes just 99%. So counting 30 kWh needed for 110 miles. 110 miles from home charger, £6.60 110 miles from a 31 pence AC £9.30 110 miles from a 37 pence DC £11.10 110 miles from a 45 pence Tesla £13.50 (Offpeak) 110 miles from a 55 pence AC / DC £16.50 Edinburgh. 110 miles from a 62 pence PodPoint £18.60 110 miles from a 63 pence BP Pulse £18.90 (GeniePoint off peak.) 110 miles from a 65 pence PodPoint £19.50 110 miles from a 69 pence BP pulse £20.70 110 miles from a 75 pence Evyve £22.50 110 miles from a 79 pence ..............£ £23.70 the likes of Osprey, Grid Serve, GeniePoint. 110 miles from a 85 pence InstaVolt £25.50 Mostly setting off with the 99% if at a cheaper public charger. examples from the last 6 charges, but pretty much how it is from having got the car. Arrive at a charger after 80 miles with 32% battery showing 27 miles range, and it takes 22 kWh to get back to 99% shows 95 miles range. Arrive at a charger after 70 miles with 43% battery showing 42 miles range, and it takes 17 kWh to get back to 99% shows 99 miles range. Arrive at a charger after 75 miles with 43% battery showing 43 miles range, and it takes 20 kWh to get back to 99% shows 109 miles range. This how it is most of the time of not hanging about, having the heating set at 16*oC & AC on now and again. Sport mostly, low regen, occasional cruise control and into Mid or Green mode following having been spirited driving and the range dropping fast. The car shows this, the kWh paid for is usually less than this as the car rounds things up. 109 miles divided by 3.3 miles a kWh is about where i am. I can get 4 miles to a kWh on slow roads, so 30 x 4 = 120 if needs must. There will be a bit more left but i have never been to less than 5 miles left.

@Telgolf any chance you can share what the quotes were on the TDI and was it belt and water pump. ? Do you think you were asking a service person that might not of known about the schedule for cambelt changes? There every working day answering enquiries as it is their job and know nothing much about cars! Guidance did change last year as more and more 1.5 TSI ACT,s were coming up for Cambelt changes in the UK and many were getting traded in rather than people paying the £1,000 or more some Dealers wanted. The Dealerships were not all equipped to do the Cambelt Change that had been the Golden Goose or Cash Cow in the UK with the VW / Skoda advice, recommendations or schedule unique to the Dust Free UK. Anyway. They say all Cambelts, or people think all Cam Belts. You decide with a car that is a keeper, a TDI rather than a TSI. As long as tensioners last as long as belts then fantastic. If everything in life was a reliable as Volkswagens components and how deaf dumb and blind VW are then who knows where the world would be. Cam Belt Guidance change (1).pdf

The YETI issue was a Zinc Inclusion problem and well documented. Worth a search here or any Search Engine. A member happened to post with that mentioned on a newer car than a Yeti last week. Not relevant to the OP,s issue though .

Is that a RAC warranty Platinum Cover? Regardless, you have consumer rights with the seller / Dealer before any need to use the Warranty. They need to fix faults and there is a time scale.
