@Warrior193 Which is a 3 cylinder 1.0 TSI with a GPF since 2018.

OK. Yes a 4 cylinder might well be smother than a 3 cylinder. But they stopped doing them in the Mk3 when the 1.2 TSI went.. Back to 4 cylinder as an option in the Mk4 with a 1.5 TSI ACT.

Welcome. If you had just posted in the thread you linked you might have got a reply. Maybe @ApertureS or @Crasher will spot it here now and can help.

@SkodaCJ You showed what the wheel is but never said what the actual tyre size is. It is the circumference / diameter. Outside size that matters. But anyway it will fit in the Spare Tyre well. it is just the floor might not sit low. As it is the wheel & tyre that comes off has to go in there, or should do for safety sake or because the boot might be full. What @Paws4Thot suggest is a good idea. It will be good practice for being sure you can get the wheels off,. have the tools and the jack placement.

@Warrior193 not as silky smooth as a 1.4 what? A 4 cylinder TSI or diesel

Something is wrong because a healthy twincharger can blast up Hardknott pass. Even cocking a rear wheel. EDIT. http://www.topgear.com/car-news/fabia-vrs-extreme-drive Do not Punch the TC, hold it a few seconds. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GOz6UsJO9mY Maybe worth a watch. He has errors. No Front Fog Lights.

Order books open 31st May.

What did you do in the way of servicing. Is it a clean air filter, a standard one. When were the plugs changed? Is it super unleaded you use? When did you get the car and has it been like this since you got it. Good that the DSG ignores you if you go for to high a gear, but normally it will go to low heads and get the turbo and supercharger working. Together. Do you know how the engine does work and at what RPM. Is the car standard. No tuning box fitted or remapped?

PHEV 1.4tsi is a totally different kettle of fish. A DQ400-e 6 speed DSG. Regeneration , hybrid mode, EV mode. Apples and pears!

Is it a DSG. & is the ambient temperature the same all the time you notice it? In 3rd cruising at almost idle speed in 3rd is that not the ACT doing it,s thing and you are going into 2 cylinder mode? No point in ACT / COD (Active Cylinder Tecnology / Cylinders on Demand) if it does nothing and does not use only 2 cylinders when no load on the engine.

Overthinking it IMO. Just use the car. The DSG will last as long as it lasts. Millions of DSG,s are driven in many ways by many people. Maybe just do not leave a DQ381 to 80,000 miles before an oil change and if you ever notice an issue with it do not delay in having it checked out. PS With DQ200,s & DQ250,s in slower traffic putting them in S has usually been the thing to do to stop them hunting between 1st and 2nd. It was / is most annoying with a 7 speed twin dry clutch as 1st is so low, compared to a 6 speed. (So a bit more like a 7 speed DQ381.)

@Jocko Simple enough. Opens the drivers door if that is all that is needed, and it can stay un-locked if you want as the others stay locked and un-used.

@Berisford Not all Main / Franchised dealerships that have Skoda / SEAT and workshops are the same as far as Service Desk Staff, Service or Workshop managers. There are actually places where a Master Technician might come explain things to a customer. But then that requires there to be a Master Technician.

Here is the MINI E rather than the MINI Cooper SE,s.

It needed oil then. So did you check when it came back after the last service that the level was correct or when did you last check,? Some oil use can happen, but unless you know how quickly it happened then topping up after getting a warning by light or message is a good thing. Check regularly.

Sorry no idea. Is it so much of an effort for her to double press the button?

Welcome. An early vRS so tell more. How many miles has it done,? Is it still with the engine it left the factory with? Is it all good service wise. Good spark plugs, clean air filter, running E5 super unleaded? Brakes serviced, tyre pressures correct? How long have you had the car? Is it maybe the DSG that is the issue? What about in S, does it get any more of a move on, or if you drop a gear or 2 in manual mode? How high are you going. Like up the Cairn o mount or Lecht in Scotland or just a road in England,?

The thing is as with cars of not for you just do not do it. There is years yet for the transition and stuff happens. The point is stuff is happening now with people and millions had been thrown to some people by this government in the UK already.. There will be new transport hubs, low carbon transport hubs. Hydrogen filling stations for trucks and 350 kW chargers for ultra rapid and chargers for off peak charging. BHS no more and House of Frasers owned by the man who can with a Son in Law running the Business that owns so many household names that were in trouble and snapped up cheaply. People do know the transportation business and importation and household deliveries. The days of the clubbie were great and now there is home deliveries for anything any time anywhere. Qué sera Sera. The futures bright the futures not owned by Britain.

People and business,s do think, and plan.

It was not an ERROR. It was advice, a warning, a heads up. You can open the bonnet when the oil is low, add no oil, close the bonnet and the warning might not show again for 100km. ..................... Is that the oil as it was Hot with the engine stopped a few minutes,.? I can not really tell what it shows. Anyway, where was it hot checked or cold checked after the last oil & filter change? When was it last checked? You needed some oil, to take it to the Area A, top of cross hatch. How much oil did it need? .................. You do not want low oil on a Motorway and less oil gets hot and needs to work harder, takes more to cool. ? WHAT WAS THE OIL TEMPERATURE SHOWING AT, OR DO YOU NEVER LOOK?

I used to know International Truckers, my wifes first husband was. they traveled for weeks and months across the Continents. To the Arab States, & with Lorries too big to come across the channel to the UK. Well you start someplace with EV,s, and see what works. Head for thinking, feet for dancing. Drive Time Directive. In UK, in the EU. Maximum of 3 15 hour days a week. Must take at least 11 hours not working a day . Max 56 hours week, 90 hours in 2 weeks. No more than 6 hours without a 15 minute break. 6 hours if you were doing 50 mph is 300 miles. It is the UK, unless you are doing the 300 miles you are at a depot / customer starting or ending. Depots are going to have chargers. Maybe a part charge is what is required once or twice in a working day of 15 hours. Maybe a vehicle has 3 different drivers in a day, or 2, there is charging time can be scheduled. Do not work in that break. Like plugging in and unplugging. So charge starts with working time and stops. Or a Depot person has the Unit charging while the Trailer is loaded or unloaded. The Driver drives in one unit and leaves it and continues the trip in another. Day Drivers, Night drivers. Fleets. If the Depots and Distribution / drop offs have Green Electricity they can have chargers. So the Service Stops on Routes need to have 'Wellfare' facilities now or soon. Toilets, Food, a proper break. Not in a lay-by.

@Graham Butcher Re Porsche. Especially as the platform was shared and is with Audi and engine development was straightforward and carried out by different people from their usual. Getting braking, suspension and control of H2o should be simple, VW have a century of failures to have learned from. Vorsprung Durch Technik. Should have let the Chinese built the Porsche. No PUBLIC HGV EV Charging stations is different from having HGV Chargers at Distribution centers. & there are EV Bus Chargers. Not for the Public use. Early days for the HGV EV,s in the UK but the video the other day posted on here showed the new Fleet that is going to be out delivering. 2 Logging / Timber hauling EV HGV,s are operating just now in Scotland on trials and running loads to the port in Inverness from forest sites. Scania have EV HGV Logging trucks in operation in cold climates. The chargers can run on Hydrogen in the Forests, or Solar or Wind Turbine to Battery Storage. The Forestry Commission and others, Hydro and Water Board are generating electricity and running vehicles and not alowed to export / sell the electricity or let the public use the chargers. Hydrogen at the Free Ports in Scotland as well. As used for the Ships in Aberdeen.

bump

@Buddxrs Look in the Modified thread i am away to bump. Look at websites for companies like Awesome GTI,s website. Darkside Developments, and http://ecotune-scotland.co.uk & the Fabia Project section. on BRISKODA.

It is a Continent. Places in Europe are not in the EU. If you want to say you can not leave the UK with it then that is quite clear. If really you have not 40 minutes for a tyre fitting centre visit then so be it. Do not go to Ireland in a borrowed Porsche. But Northern Ireland's fine. Regarding Porsche & Not the Original buyer of a Porsche Taycan which is in Warranty not being covered for the fan replacements. If that was / is what they say. Will be ripped to shreds. All Demonstrators, Pre Reg cars with a Registered Keeper showing , Media cars etc are Used Cars and the 2nd named Registered Keeper never bought it new, If there is a Safety Critical issue and a fundamental design, manufacturing or material fault then a Voluntary Recall or a DVSA / DVLA Recall would be required. Just like the 3 recalls that were on the 2019 models, then 6 covering 2020 and 7 on 2021. Not all need all doing obviously, but they are RECALLS.
