@ronniebarker£105 for spark plugs replaced at a dealership during a service is a thing of the past, add another £15 or more to that. @EnterNameHaving the Air Filter as a 6 year /60,000 replacement is taking the pith, and even more is those that do not even check it at services.

Seen by Monday seems like good service then. Lucky lucky Tesla driving or as it is not man. Thursday & 'down in Aberdeen' so must be North of Aberdeen or it would be across or up to Aberdeen. Sorry i can not listen to his voice. Does my nut in.

? Where is he? A wonderful TESLA service requires people in at the Dealership or to get to you. Central Belt Scotland dealers can do so much, further afield in Scotland & suck it up & wear big boy or girl pants. I was not interested in a Funky Cat even though the new dealer would be in Dundee. Now shut since August. Or a MG from 11 miles away in Brechin . Parks Hamiliton. No bl00dy way would i have a car from them. A TESLA would be no use for me or a Polestar. Even if given one. Skoda or SEAT EV,s OK because of the Dealership with very helpful and local staff for lifts if issues to get to dealership.

Mans car breaks down. Big story. Or not really. My electric car broke down and i posted on here about it and the uselessness of the RAC, the recovery company they called and of Arnold Clark Service Centre Dundee. I would have done the same if it had been an ICE with a 'shifter' failure and the Drive & e-Brake locked.

Welcome. Petrol, Diesel or even a PHEV vRS? Make sure you let a Skoda Dealership know this happened. Just so they can not say there that 'They have never heard of this', New person just started, no interest in cars, or deaf. Or that 'They all do that'. Then they can tell you why.

@kentdale How far back was the Service done, days / miles. Get onto them if the Inspection never picked up on the tyres. The Dealer Principal, not the Service Manager or Service Desk staff. Was it the Main Dealership that did the MOT and these advisories are from the MOT, or are we talking one visit, Service & MOT,d? @numskullWhat was a MOT examiner @ Halfrauds on about with the driveshafts, checking gaiters.

Can we assume the car was not serviced before 3 years old and the MOT and you do not check stuff, tyres, pressures etc? Not able to inspect at a MOT because of covers is normal.

@LeeThat is 2012. no idea about the 2017 car, keeper etc.

There is a good article linked on another forum which covers much. I will link it for those that missed it. EDIT. Actually that article was 2015 and not as good as the thread here. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/226003-the-twins-and-yeti-rs/page/118

Was it not his Mums when a grey one? I remember the thread was on here when the garages Demonstrator was wearing YETI Show plate and he got the NIP. @Leeyou were in the colour discussion of the tuned car.

@ Is it a DSG and in what gear is it in if it does shut off and when you start moving? How many km on the car, and is this a recent thing, car new to you or always been the same?

@LeeDo you mean still shows as a diesel, i know that i checked. Or do you know the vehicle and have seen under the bonnet? I know how long it has been Grey.

^^^ Those with their AWD,s /4x4,s never think of that as the reverse their water crafts down a slipway into fresh or salt water to launch after arriving with a nicely warmed up vehicle. Even people crossing fords or big puddles on a journey. Hot Cat / Exhaust / Diff / Axles. Then people think maybe change the rear diff oil @ 80,000 miles or when ever if ever.

Yes you are. & people do not. Actually the Police in England seem not to bother on the TV programmes, they do in Scotland. YET 1 maybe like that. (Is it a diesel still?)

Welcome. That will be Stop / Start as you coast to a stop / halt off the accelerator. Does it restart ok if you press the accelerator once stopped or while still moving?

@Graham ButcherMy personal plates show on the DVLA Data Base & ASK MID. But on the number on the car now, not the registration that it had at First Registration / leaving the dealers wearing. No idea if that red Tesla car was photographed this week or last month or before. ie when it was wearing that registration.

29,000 Canadian Dollars. SG22 YAY not showing as insured on theInsurance data base , or showing on the DVLA database. On a personal plate maybe. SG22 YAV White Tesla. SG22 YAW Grey Tesla. 7th October 2023. Original article 15th Oct said last Saturday.

@GrumpyOldGitSadly batteries are not always good for 3 or 4 weeks of no use on many modern cars, even in mild weather. So it is what it is.

^^^ 2020. This is 2021. we are @ 2023 now.

The T&C,s as the Warranty they got will be relevant, and an Independent Experts Report will be important as things are. tesla-new-vehicle-limited-warranty-en-gb.pdf

It could be, it could be that they did not know how to if they could not plug in. Do you want to leave it 18,000-20,000 miles between oil changes or more than a year? I would not now at 11 years old unless you do high miles in a year. Have you checked the Air Filter yourself, has the Diesel Filter/ fuel filter been replaced? Have you looked at the pollen filter, cleaned it out in the area or replaced? More needs doing than just Oil changes.

You get 1.6 or 2.0 TDI CR. Not that it matters really. Must be on fixed servicing then, 9,400 miles / 372 days. Oil required is Long Life for fixed or variable service intervals, so to VW504 00 / 507 00, 5w 30 FS III ? Do you have Haldex (4x4). is it a manual gearbox?

Is the Manufacturing Engineer a different Robert Hussey? Just being nosy. (Would at least understand about H2O.)

You have to find humour from events. Well as long as not your crisis,s. This company made me laugh. But i am sad!
