  1. They come in plenty flavours now and different tread depths by size and name. CrossClimate. CrossClimate + CrossClimate 2 CrossClimate SUV CrossClimate SUV2 CrossClimate Agilis (Van) Many types of snow and temperatures, but most are talking driving roads here. Fresh Snow, Powder Snow, Snow on ice, Thawing snow, slush, ploughed roads, ploughed and gritted / salted etc etc. Not often in London it will be snow that fell days or weeks before and is hard packed and slick. It will be if roads open driven by vans, taxis, bin lorries, coaches / busses and motor bikes, scooters and push bikes and lots with the tyres the vehicle came from the factory with. Just as in Scotland or Wales or RofUK.
  2. Sorry but it is always good to RTOM. There are times that with Stop / Start enabled the engine will fire up, that is in the manual as well. Autohold is not Hill Hold Assist, that was a thing and still is for some cars.
  3. Breaking the glass and replacing is not cheaper than another key, and breaking the glass might not just be this Christmas, it could come around more often. Extra keys are for life not just for Christmas. Merry festive season all. Balls Buffets & Banquettes are calling.
  4. Things getting mixed up on here. DSG and if you have 'Autohold' on and you stop you can take your foot off the brake pedal and the brakes hold the car until you want to move. press the accelerator. Stop / Start also enabled, the engine can stop. With Auto hold on just touch the accelerator to restart engine, or the brake, or move the steering wheel. The Parking / e-Brake is not used to hold in 'Autohold' In Autohold the brake lights are on. If you want Stop / Start off turn it off. I am sure this is in another thread the OP started.
  5. No idea, but they have Bricks not just Clicks in this vid from 2 months ago.
  6. This was the first CTHE that he did i think. @vRSgone,s car was pretty quick running a BlueSpark tuning box back 9 years ago. Nobody had a Remap for them then.
  7. World Wide Web. I heard it on the news and the radio in the UK. Not approved in the UK. But that does not stop people having it and using it.
  8. @gregoir Lots of Quatrac on the go with differences. I went Old Skool with Quatrac Pro,s and really pretty crap on snow last week. Many Vresestein about for much cheapness. There are Quatrac Pro + & Quatrac Pro EV,s.
  9. In the DQ200, 2 oils, in the MCU and in the Box. So, is it oil from the MCU??? THAT IS THE QUESTION NEEDING ANSWERED BY THE AUTO PERSON. Unlike wet clutch DSG,s the same oil, hence the Oil Services, Filters, was @ 40,000 miles, DQ381,s @ 80,000. Plenty of those having issues now.
  10. @Oct10RheaForget all that stuff, i was just telling you so that when others know near nothing you know to go elsewhere. Yours is 13 years old and leaking. So the back story. There was Internal Corrosion and a blown fuse and failures and VW said only in some climates and Synthetic oil. A sulphur issue, Lose drive, roll to a stop, safe as houses, even in the outside lane of a motorway. B0llocks and in New Zealand because there were few DQ200,s all got new MCU,s.
  11. No! I am saying it will not or might never have been serviced, but will or should now have Synthetic oil in, not the mineral from the factory in 2010. Still leaking though, losing pressure, maybe just that, or maybe needs clutches replaced, maybe selectors, so a job for someone with the gear and more than ideas. Really not a New / Refurbished DSG. @Crasheror @ApertureSare experienced & have the knowledge. ? Where are you in the country? I have near me in Scotland an expert who is a mate that does them, but he will be booked up into the New Year as well. A member recently had someone in Glasgow fix theirs because he could not get seen in or near Perth for weeks.
  12. Hardly hushed up when the recall is on the UK Media / News. What is not that well known is how many are running cars using Autopilot in the UK as a Self Driving System. It has been sold in the UK since 2016 just not to be activated until approved by the regulators as i understood it. Someone will correct me if this is not correct.
  13. It probably had the Oil change and software update since 2014 for free, Service Campaign 34F7. Sticker in Spare Tyre Well. It was a world wide recall and a European Service Campaign. The Serviced for life or oil for life trotted out are probably by those that do not know about the World Wide Recall o DQ200,s 2009-2012. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/517146-what-is-this-oil-leak http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/518213-my-dsg-gearbox-seems-playing-up Likely the cheap fix is no use to your box, that is an accumulator kit. That is for the issue common on 2013-2015 DQ200,s and there was a Service Campaign on them from 2017. 34H5. That was a pressure issue and cracked boxes and MCU,s. Software Update was as a preventive measure. ................................... No matter, but anyone at a Dealership that does not know this stuff are really not a Technician. Any Auto Specialists should know it. As it is the diagnosis is important and this not relevant to your issue now, If the original DSG / Parts still fitted to the car.
  14. ? Makes no difference, but Is it just Pre-Reg and not actually down as a Demonstrator, so they have to have it for 3 months / 3,000 miles to get the tax break from HMRC? You could just charge at home using a 3 pin charger and normal tariff if you do not have a 'offpeak'. 11 kWh @ 27 pence now is new Β£3.00, OK if you get 25-30 miles on electric. If back up to 33 pence then Β£3.63, still OK. The Oil Services are Fixed regime so 9,400 miles / annual with the 1.4 TSI iV, so any Service plan available needs to be taking that into account.
  15. REAL World questions. Many questions. WLTP just nonsense! Did they from a fully charged battery zero the mileometer and go 109 miles, or not zero when full, maybe from collecting the car the 146 miles? Because if they had the 54 & 58 % left that is not good for only 109 miles. But then when nearly 1/2 way there there was 72% left. Is that half way on 109 miles so just over half way, say 60 miles using 38% of the battery. 200 mile range left. That might mean 260 miles possible. 'But nearing end of journey just over 100 miles completed.' Only 58% left though. 2 hours, 109 miles sounds about right. But not doing 146 mile???? 82 kWh total capacity battery, 77 kWh. X 3.3 miles per kWh. Would be 254 miles. 54 % of the battery left and only 109 miles done. It would have made sense, split the load between the cars on the return journey and see how well they do and if actually identical efficiency. 77 kWh usable getting 4 miles a kWh before you have 308 miles range. official range 345 miles. That would need to be getting 4.48 miles a kWh.
  16. A 4 cylinder 1.2 TSI then. & low mileage. Since July Skoda / VW removed the advice to have the cam belt replaced at 5 years / 50,000 miles. But at least it is done and really that should not have messed it up. But whoever did it are the ones to check, surely there is a 2 years parts and labour warranty if it was a main dealership. The Spark plugs are a good ca;; as they were due changing at 4 years / 40,000 miles. ? Is there a nice clean air filter in? has it even been checked? If it is running any better now would still run a tank or 2 of E5 Super Unleaded 97 or 99 ron if you usually use E10 95 unleaded, just to see if any more improvement.
  17. Next generation models or Euro 7 compliant will need the bits and pieces of tech that VW Group have been using the paying customers to do the R&D over the past decade. Many models from the 4 brands at the price level of Skoda have some features and some of VW Groups cars have all of them.
  18. Welcome. A mod can maybe move your post to the Octavia Section. ? Do you actually want to change the light and change to what? Or is it a bulb needing replaced, or some coding to change how they work?
  19. ^^^ Location location location yet again. Plenty 20 mph limits are in place and have been for years and more coming. People should maybe choose their fights sometime. If slowing down is required and in appropriate locations then good. There are no blanked bans on speed and the likes of 20 mph max other than in built up areas where there might have been a 30 mph limit anyway.
  20. Traffic flow and in traffic is very different from knocking on on great driving roads. In that traffic and dual carriageways or motorways or even single carriageways then using ACC might come into the equation. @Gabboif off the accelerator and in D or S or M1,2, 2 etc uses no fuel then WTF did they bother introducing 'Coasting mode'. Was it just for testing under WLTP or RDE2 Conditions? **Probably to have the gas guzzlers look like they are quite efficient and have low Co2 k/km and be able to sell them and still meet Average Fleet Emissions in the EU and the same in the UK.** AUDI / VW even had a Defeat Device with 3.0 litre engines with DSG,s to cheat under testing and were fined for that. The future as VW are forced to for causing all the emissions crap and cheating is when not full BEV, ot PHEV, is Mild Hybrid, the ACT / COD but with less polluting ones & coasting. & Sat Nav / GPS knowing the road and switching off when the ICE not requit=red.
  21. Welcome. A Mod can move this to the Fabia Section if they know if a Mk2 or actually a Mk3 that first were built late 2014 and delivered first then or early 2015. Showing to the left as a 2013 is it a Mk2 Fabia? ? What engine, What Gearbox. How many miles was it that you had the timing belt changed at?
