Maybe do a wee search on 1.5 ACT remaps just on this forum and then a wider search. Maybe spending £400 or so might mean you have a bit better bhp / Torque and get up to speed quicker and can coast more or be on 2 cylinders. Personally i would spend on a Warranty, keep it valid when it is a 1.5 TSI ACT.

Bump.

Welcome. What are they saying. 'Never seen that before' or "They all do that.'' Call them TOMMY, Selectively Deaf, dumb or blind. Some of these threads in forums might assist you. Or just show the known issue.

Bump again.

Welcome. I will bump the thread for you from this section. The other threads in section for other models often links to this. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/505730-weird-error-message-only-leave-vehicle-in-position-p/page/3

The Haldex is @ 3 years / 30,000 miles - 48,000 km. A DQ381 DSG service @ 130,000 km or sooner. (SOONER might be best done properly as there are a growing number of these having failures.) and if a DQ500 @ almost 65,000 km.

People say or write stuff then it all gets confusing. Was there a Liquid Fuel Generator used / towed by someone or just the Electricity the generated or used, which were the chargrs were could be from any source.

There is a Fleet News article i read today that there are Business / Fleets getting BEV SUV,s instead of Light Commercial Vans. Makes sense if they can do the job, safety features, comfort, range, availability. Also there are companies catering for this or gearing up to do more racking, fitting them out. Re the Pole to Pole. There is a thread and posts with vids on it included vids on their previous trips.

@SkodaManiaqIt was you that posted about the issue, if something is not wrong then lets word it as something was not right. Just because the man from Del-Monte has a device with no codes logged is not a sign all is well. At least you have reported an issue within your Manufacturers Warranty.

Many years since i have been there and it was OK then, and seems fine these days. 36 years since i lived pretty near to it.

^^^ Is it metallic Silver / Grey?. I assume it is. Can you post a picture so that someone might see if their car is the same Silver / Grey?

The Aberdeen / Area Scrap yards are not that good at parting with money. The Fife ones might sometimes have a collection to do up there and do pay more IME. You will find a buyer for your car, spares or repairs quite easily i think. Maybe an advert on BRISKODA Forum will have someone wanting to come and take away your car. If you need a good Skoda Mechanic anytime look no further than Victoria Garage, Maud. PS Is there a Mobile Mechanic you know of that can do a repair and let you sell a running car? They might even know of a buyer for your car. EDIT. Missed that the car is in Dundee. I hope it is at some trusted establishment.

So are you no further on other than being allowed to keep driving it because of the previous MOT pass and no MOT due yet?

^^^ Now i see. "Average charging speed" for the big battery given as 75kW. But smaller battery car showing as 75 kW max charging. That is how buyers or potential buyers get confused. & Motoring Journalists with a Media Pack and a top of the range test car. This battery capacity and then Usable Battery, and the terms, Fast or Rapid, Ultra Rapid adds more to any confusion. Then stories that in the USA the standard charging is to be something other than CCS.

@wyx087It is them that referred to a Rapid charger, so your 200 miles added with an Ultra Rapid really is a diversion. Tesla Super Charger or 75/80 kw. 100, 100 + 350 kW chargers are not Rapid Chargers. This is what those looking at BEV,s need explained to them and 50 or 100 kW max charging DC cars or maybe the likes of the new MINI and 80 kW if that is what it is, because journalists seem not to know. EDIT. I see now a figure of 95 kW charging for the big battery new car, the 41 kW one might be the same.

The Money & Investment experts and someone else said that the UK has the lowest incentives of European countries to go to BEV,s. The say something needs to be in the budget. Hopefully it is not the con of giving grants so that overpriced cars appear to be cheaper. The BYD sales and prices if they can supply enough cars in Europe and the UK, maybe from the new factory in Hungary will have the cost of BEV,s coming down more and smaller cars with a good range. The figure given for Rapid chargers and in 35 minutes you can add around 100 miles range. (A damn expensive 100 miles.) Well the 50 kW chargers give maybe 50 kW in 60 minutes. Some might do 52 kW. If you get 25 kW in and get 4 miles a kWh then 100 miles. or 30 kW in and 3.3 miles a kWh. Bigger batteries empty. But take car with a small battery like 30 kW, and it maybe only does 110 miles on a fully battery, it might be only 25 kW you get in 35 minutes. These are the things that RAC Spokespeople or DfT are not really that up on. It misleads people if you are a bit mislead yourself and repeat the spin. 'They can add', then again they might not in around 35 minutes. More Ultra Rapid are required and Rapids that perform and give what people think they might or a sales person tell them they "might"..

Welcome. Worth putting in a post what engine your car has that you are asking about. Also worth giving the thread a title that has something to do with what you are asking about.

The Radio & TV news is covering the rule change and Manufacturers having to have 22% of cars sales being Zero Emissions this year, so basically BEV first registrations. (Some said 1/5th, nut clearly 22% is more than 1/5th, But one person on Wake Up to Money on 5 Live this morning was all over the place with numbers and just after a Motor Trade insider had said 80% said 70%. Then one person on the programmes worry was the Insurance cost of EV,s and the lack of Motorway Chargers for her 90 miles a day drive. Put of a BEV but looking maybe at a Hybrid. You need to wonder sometimes if they really understand Hybrid and PHEV and the charging or no charging and how efficient they are on a 90 mile motorway trip each way.) Also on the story from earlier this week and the Government target for Motorway EV chargers being missed. Probably a UK Government target that was really about Motorway chargers in England. Scotland has not much of a Motorway system if you consider how much area there is north of Perth and zero motorway. From September. http://bbc.co.uk/news/business-66875554 Yesterday. http://bbc.co.uk/news/business-67858961 EDIT, yes England. Just somehow the presenters on the Media miss using the word England most of the time. Good that they will collect Data in the New Year, so this new year, then spin it as they want. *The Country they speak of is England not the Country the Prime Minister or the King often speak of which is 4 countries.*

& maybe a Self Drive bus. This Golf i got as a courtesy car was just hopeless for no physical buttons on the facia and them not lit up at night, but the GPS / ACC and the economy were amazing from the 2.0 TDI 115 PS with DSG. (needed to be in S to not bog down as it shifted 1st to 2nd) Lane keep assist with it was very very good on the same roads as @fabdavravhad issues on. (The slow average speed was on the back roads taking it home and seeing how everything worked and before filling it to the brim and seeing how the economy was before going up around the North East 250 Snow Roads.) http://snowroads.com http://northeast250.com GPS / Sat Nav can disappear as does Mobile and Radio reception and the car can be constantly searching and telling you it is. Hopeless in EV,s just as the Chargers are unreliable and hardly any Rapid chargers. The 2 fast chargers at the Lecht are a joke. 1 Rapid charger in Tomintoul that might or might not work. More in Aboyne, equally as unreliable, and 1 in Braemar. http://lecht.co.uk/webcams Just be aware of those that can not stay on their own side of the road even when there are central white lines, solid or broken.

There are very much differences in oils and the sheets of the correct specs from what is acceptable to VW Group are easy to find. Asda / Wall Mart / Tesco have Containers of Oils to the Manufacturers Specifications and standards and these Multi National Companies do not buy in the oil from Own Brand Bean or Digestive Biscuit Companies, they buy it from Oil Producers. Could it be from COMMA, or Fuchs or whoever. But it certainly is not some crap they buy in to sell across countries / nations. VW Group recommended Castrol, French Manufactures were TOTAL, Japaneses might have recommended Mobile. Funnily the highest engine failures out of manufacturers warranty period were or are German Manufacturers Engines. BMW, Daimler Benz / Mercedes but they might be a Renault engine. VW Groups reputation from engine failures and excessive oil use is well deserved. Especially with Euro 5 TSI,s.

Before you go wading in what you think is not too deep water remember as you do it some idiot might come through in the opposite direction and that is then the issue. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/508199-wading-depth

Millions have never been in for the Takata air Bag Racall and that is from cars back as far as from 2001. Lots of tardy manufacturers with the Recalls and VW Group probably among the worst. Seemingly only 2012-2018 with Skoda,s and some. So the RECALL now on Mk4 Fabia and recent manufactured cars must be another Air Bag potential fault.

Those were the days and then the cost started going crazy. Good if you find Service desk staff without a clue. Anyone now might be paying what the DQ381 costs, and anyone with one of those need to be sure they are changing the filter as dealerships say this is not required.

Enjoy your new car. The part numbers are likely in one of the 3 threads in the Fabia Mk4 section on removing the trims.
