It is OK to keep coasting if you have control of the car, it is doing it because no load in the engine, you might want to accelerate round a bend, you can change gear manually if you want, drop a gear and not touch the brakes, have drive by touching the accelerator pedal. I have only a left foot and drive with it on the accelerator and hardly ever touch the brake pedal. I like coasting function with a DSG and any Auto,s with it and in EV,s. But the MINI electric i drive now can not fully coast, regening / recuperation even in the low setting slows it down.

I had forgotten about him being cleared of speeding until i spotted the vid. There was stuff about it in a thread back a few years ago.

A bit of confusion here i think. Is it a case of being in ECO and the DSG going into 'Coasting' mode as in disengaging from gear and going from D7 to D, or D6 to D? Doing as it should be doing. Do not shift the selector out of D. If you want it back in gear you touch the accelerator or the brake pedal. If you do not want the DSG 'Coasting' ten disable it. You can select coasting. Best read the owners manual for the Octavia or do a search on a Search engine. briskoda coasting. Not all generations or models do it the same, not all have ECO.

@Pete_VRSthe B,B is a rating on fuel, noise i assume. I was really asking, and expecting they were XL / Extra Load and the correct Speed / Load rating no matter if the Budget option. Just really if just like for like with the Avon All seasons that were taken off.

Fabia Mk2 vRS on standard 205/40 R 17,s came from the factory with or without XL marked tyres. There was no change in tyre pressures if the Tyres were XL. Pretty low profile really. The Sister cars Polo, Ibiza, A1 twincharger same engines / gearboxes and 132-136 kW came on 215/40 R17,s. Go to Black Circles or similar sites and select the Tyre Sizes and Speed / Load rating and if you want Extra Load tyres or not. Or just search BRISKODA and Extra Load tyres.

XL / Extra Load, means reinforced sidewalls. Check the same Speed / Load rated tyres and see ones that are XL and ones that are not.

^^^ @StonekeeperAppearances can deceive. They are sealed as in there are filler plugs and drain plugs and the oil can be changed in the box and in the MCU. (Some might charge to change the oil and not change the oil in the MCU) Millions had the Synthetic Oil changed to Mineral when there was a World Wide / GLOBAL recall in 2012 that excluded Europe. *Internal corrosion, fuse blowing, loss of drive, VW said roll safely to road side. Sure thing in an outside lane of a motorway with HGV,s inside you.* Not required in Europe as seemingly different weather / moisture / HUMIDITY, even from NZ where all DQ200,s got a brand new MCU. They lie so easily. In Europe it became a Service Campaign 34F7 and tens on thousands had the oil changed and a software update. Started in 2014. So as far as sealed for life, who's life, the cars or the DSG,s. and when it looks like end of life might you change the oil? Plenty vids on how to change the oil if anyone wants or needs to, and even guides in Threads / Posts on Briskoda a forum for Skoda enthusiasts.

@Pete_VRSWhich tyres have you fitted, and are the XL (reinforced sidewalls.) ?

Some or many have the Oil changed because someone at a Dealership wrongly tells them they are due a change. Personally i might change both the oils after 8 years or 100,000 miles or so, but it should not be necessary.

1st charger, waited 17 minutes. Might as well have been using the AC while waiting. (When knowing you are going to a PodPoint then the PodPoint app tells you if occupied,) Same with BP and the others on their apps. 65 pence a kWh PodPoint Lidl. 77 pence @BP Pulse. Non subscriber, 50 kW charger. 75 Instavolt. 85 Shell recharge. All are a lot of money and can be quite a bit more expensive to charge than fuelling an ICE vehicle of the size of an Enyaq. 50 kWh @ 65 pence is £32.50 50 kWh @ 85 pence is £42.50 If you were to get 4 miles a kWh that is 200 miles. 3.5 miles a kWh then 175 miles. Petrol getting 40 mpg & @ 136.7 pence a litre. 200 miles 5 gallons / 22.73 litres. £31.07

You can not. Did you do a search using key words just for a 1.5 TSI ACT remap? Plenty threads on that. Maybe since the last posts someone on here had a 1.5 TSI ACT remapped.

@6nations it is the 96W that is the issue. Lots of choice in 92V XL in that size. @Carlstonwill know if you have to stay with 96W XL As to your hopeless below 18 degrees C (UK) do you mean below 8*oC or really mean pretty much the temp that much of the UK is at or lower much of the yea? Goodyear Eagle F1 are a tyre pretty much like slicks when it is damp even in warm weather.

Why do people keep saying what an ICE vehicle can do? Is everyone on here not familiar with petrol, diesel or LPG vehicles and have ones or had ones and bee used to putting in fuel? No idea the difference of the cost of public charging in Canada compared to buying Gasoline or Diesel. That would be useful to know.

VW / Audi on a bottle of oil is not Oil Produced by VW / Audi, the oil comes from an oil producers. As far as VW not selling VW504 00 / 507 00 as in 5w 30 FS III and only 0w 30 FS III, not the case in the UK with VW Group / TPS, and the Oil is now from Fuchs Oils / Quantum range of oil.

Nice, lots of us think of others. but it is necessary to understand he can only charge DC up to 50 kW on the CCS anyway and he was charging so little and quickly that he could have been on the 11 kW AC if he wanted to head off leaving the car. No point him being on a 100 kW charger. As to getting a shift on to get the battery hot. He could of gone flat out at 94 MPH and honestly it would have made no difference from going at 60 mph to how quick it charged in cold weather on the 50 kW charger. My last charges in the Cold. 10 kWh on a BP Pulse 27 minutes. To 100% 68-99%. 15 kWh on a BP Pulse , 17% - 67% only 20 mins. 17 kW to 100% 41 minutes. CPS. He was charging to 80% so quicker than i charge going to 99 or 100% I have 9% to 87% in 47 minutes for 24 kWh. That charger was slow and i arrived having been on the Motorway. PS. @ around 0*oC 45 miles and charging at home is costing me £3.88 so 90 miles £7.76 or there abouts. 21 pence a kWh tariff. 41 pence a kWh Local Public charging is too expensive & above that crazy & paying too much to be in an EV IMO. @ 35 pence a kWh i am paying about 10 pence a mile.

Is it showing it as 0w 20 FS IV, so to VW508 00 / 509 00. ? The oil filled at the factory and hopefully at the Oil & Filter Services.

Sorry no idea. That sounds terrible, like a diesel. What is the story over servicing history, anything recent, is it had an oil & filter service recently? How many miles / km has it done? What is the writing on the engine cover to do with?

Collecting Cars. Rally with no name. Premier at 12 pm today. Taster.

This part of Canada looks pretty good for availability of chargers. Charging to 80% maybe only had the car with 75 miles range though and taking it to 90% is not much longer, or even to 100%, but he did not need that range i suppose unlike anyone venturing out in Scotland today in a EV with a limited range who might be ignoring the weather warnings.

^^^'Defensive?' Are you being stupid? If you are happy enough trying to defraud the Warranty Provider / Insurer. *Loss adjuster are about all the time on forums.* But if you are don't post about your mods on Social Media / Forums. & if an Loss Adjuster is acting for a Warranty Provider / Insurer and a claim of a few thousand for an Engine, or an accident claim they can check. You might be asked to sign a Claim Form on a Warranty Claim and if you did have a tuning box that is fraud you are attempting. But we never mention such things. All an Internet Myth. Well not when they ask if you want to withdraw your claim.

@SweetcorneThe twin charger engine in your car, 2010-2012 is a CAVE Late 2012 - 2014 /15 they are CTHE.

Being able to simply take off a Tuning Box means nothing. If you were in an Accident, your fault or not you are not removing it before maybe the car is recovered. Same if your engine expires on a motorway. You want to declare it to your insurers to have valid insurance and not just the 3rd parties being covered, so any Loss Adjusted might not find the tuning box if removed, but checks your declaration with the Insurer. If the engine had an issue and had a warranty it is invalidated with non factory approved hardware or software. That covers the remap then and a tuning box.

Most likely the regen. As to the cold start and higher RPM and load on the battery and alternator putting charge into the battery. = the rise to about 1,000 rpm.
