Any future planning applications for Battery Recycling Premises might only be approved for locations a bit isolated from other building and not near residential properties.

That is quite and accident to happen from a blow out at just 50 mph. EDIT. @Deepa is 80 km/h the max speed limit there? Looks a wonderful stretch of road. The type of road i might try to max out a car to see just what it can do. But that is just me, stupid and no longer young.

@J.R. The OP is posting about a Superb. I have reset the TPMS on Yeti and done it when the vehicle was stationary. It can take several miles to register and might even need another attempt. I read owners manuals and remember what they actually say.

This is the Project section and your post might be getting missed. I will ask a mod again to move it to the Octavia Mk4 section. ??????????? Does the Manufacturers Warranty really run from when Manufactured, leaves the factory? GET THE TERMS OF THAT MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY IN WRITING SHOWING WHAT YOU WERE TOLD TO BE SURE THEY ARE ACTUALLY BEING HONEST. Not in the UK. The Warranty starts From First Registered. Cars can sit months even possibly a year before First Registered, not just the Covid years, in Europe they were bunkered for months waiting for the WLTP certification. ? Why not get an aftermarket alarm fitted, maybe even better than the factory one? Certainly better than your factory fit.

Welcome under these sad circumstances. The car was not at fault was it, your son was steering, the cruise control was only holding the cars speed. Did he maybe hit a kerb? Is there any indication at what speed the car was. That information will be available to the Police or Skoda / VW from the ECU. The only repair could be a rebody and that is unlikely with the damage of the components, engine, gearbox, suspensions, grill, lights, wheels etc. So the car is in your name if registered to you and yet you had not bought your own insurance cover for the car and you or your son to drive. Why were you allowing it to be driven on VW,s insurance?

The OP says of when the low beam is on. That would be OFF Day time / daylight time if Headlights have to be on all the time. So no DRL,s. Someone might be along that knows how to disable the DRL,s that are on all the time on mk4 Fabia if they have ever tried doing that. If they have ones that are the same intensity day time and night time. I am interested in what the issue is with having them on with Headlights being on anyway. The issue with Mk2 Fabia vRS daytime and night time is they are in the position that people expect the Fog Lights to be and even Police Officers stopped drivers for driving with Front Fog Lights on. Other Drivers flashed you. MOT Examiners even failed cars as recently as last month with a member on here for the sidelights not being operational.

@Driverro321 Tell the story then. Which car with a 1.5 TSI ACT, how old, and how many miles / km has it done and has it made the noise from new or when did it start to?

@Driverro321 Welcome. @MPoll1994 has not signed in since 2022. Which car have you got & has it a DQ200 DSG?

The UK is not a EU member either. But was back in Feb 2011 when the DRL regs came in and New Type Approved vehicles required DRL,s as standard. Not that we had to have them enabled. The regs were they were dimmer when the Head Lights were on. Mk2 Fabia vRS even use the same unit, DRL,s then they dim and are the Sidelights with Headlights on. If the headlights have to be on in the Day in Serbia that is good, common sense and tail / position lights as well. I liked my Volvos and Dim dip headlights and tail lights, pre DRL times.

@JR RSWhich is why i mentioned the Superb. Because you posted that in the past discussions on TPMS and spares, it was you was it not. Not only Part Time AWD (Haldex) might have issues then. There are Superbs that did get a Emergency Spare really just too different in Total Diameter / Circumference from the 4 tyres / wheels on the car.

Hopefully someone can help. Very odd if the same intensity as far as EU Type approval & regulations. Are they not very bright when on as DRL,s then? What is the issue with having them on if you have the head lights on, do you not want to see and be seen?

Are they not your Side / Position lights (less bright) when your headlight, low or full beam are on?

D1,2, 3 etc or S1,2, 3 etc except if coasting then just D. What engine / drivetrain of a vRS have you, and what age?

But the point is that when you put a spare wheel on a slightly different size and not even knowing the pressure you can rest the TPMS and then not get a warning. Not with all. and with the Harldex, maybe a Superb then you might have issues. But that is the wrong size spare issue. Also ACC, CC might be disabled. Fair enough. The thing with the Heat is, if you track the car say and the TPMS is set, you might well get a warning, no flat tyre, just one very hot front tyre .

They just say any old stuff. If their lips move it could be a lie or stupidity. They say VW502 00 is not Full Synthetic and can not even be used for Fixed Service Intervals with TSI.s. Then did Service offers, Bronze, Silver, Gold or whatever and wrongly used 5w 40 FS VW502 00 even when the cars were going Variable / Flexible service intervals. The story about Twinchargers & DQ200,s and their incompetence has been posted on here in the past. They are really unbelievable.

It has to be set when stationary. that is at a standstill. Ignition on. As was pointed out to @J.R. last time he gave the duff gen.

Waste incinerators are opposed regularly. In Dundee the one next to the Michelin tyre factory was always being opposed and the public or some wanted closed down. The Michelin factory had 2 wind turbines. They are still there. SWARCO head quarters and the CPS offices are there now. The Innovation Parc. And where they wanted the Battery manufacturing. Not near rail or ships. Well not where it should be 3 miles away at the port. In Angus the refuse had the methane captured and then generating electricity. It just needs the use of what there is readily available. Waste food,waste from agriculture, waste oils, solar, wind, hydro and tide. Places can do it, others places make no effort. Coupar Angus in Perth and Kinross had a bio-digester near the Chicken process factory turning waste into gas and they have battery storage there now. Wind farms near, a substation and giant pylons coming soon. That will all be in place and still the electricity will be over priced for consumers. Pathetic public charging for EV,s as well other than in Perth. The last figures I read on Dundee city was 223 of their fleet of vehicle were EV,s and that is 30%. 25% of the licenced taxis in the city are EV,s. The new council charging hub and solar canopies is impressive. Angus council need to do more with solar and wind turbines for charging their EV,s and use in buildings.

Well there is the facts of the car parks, the chargers and the cars not getting used. Then other places plenty cars, not enough chargers and cars are not being taken home. There is spending in a tax year, use it or lose it with councils and then cut backs in the next year. Places can run car clubs and do and efficiently. Councils and local authorities should be the first out of ICE vehicles where appropriate vehicles can be bought or leased. Government Agencies and contractors next. Not like Contractors for the likes of Edinburgh City though who have a hopeless charging infrastructure for trades people as well as the general public, residents and visitors, tourists. That is the Council, no matter how they big up the supposed improvements. Solar panels and a wind turbine or 3 can be erected and battery storage at many council buildings or head quarters and NHS buildings including hospitals. Vehicle to grid used. A small health center like in Girvan has a wind turbine and bio-mass.

Can i ask who supplied the parts. Euro Car Parts? There can lay an issue.

When you removed the original pads did you not hold back to back with the replacement ones to see the shape / size were identical?

Tyre pressures do not need to be equal. You can set front and rear differently, even set an odd pressure. Once logged it is differences by enough of the circumference being identified. / Flagged.

@lol-lol I know all about the low paid, hard working etc etc. & the thousands of EV,s the Councils and NHS, Care Companies and others in Scotland have and drivers who do not want to drive them, the ones that get to choose cars and want the 'financial leg up to have a Range Rover Evogue' or what ever, not a Peugeot e-208, Niro or whatever. There are thousands of EV,s not being used for work, not available for car clubs, loan for the public but the public are funding them, then they get replaced in 3 years virtually unused. That is not just because of Covid. There are some 'Senior Managers, Supervisors, Civil Servants doing no work miles or virtually none and getting mileage allowances for what they do when the Fleet Cars are sitting charged up and they could just take one of those. Too much kidology going on.

I get that the checked cold pressure has never changed. From when set. But if you get a TMPS warning and stopped and feel the wheel carefully could one wheel feel pretty hot. Or if you checked the pressures might one be higher than the others, or the opposite one. I just mention this because people say 'False warning' when sometimes it is a timely warning, just not of a puncture, but a binding brake.

Here we go here we go. Business users. Company cars are tools of the trade. Let's bother about private buyers / drivers and let those driving for work get on with work and overheads. Too many company cars assisted be tax payers where a big premium car is noy a necessity. A van might be more useful than Just a status symbol EV supercar which might be used for no more than commuting to work not anything to do with the business.
