Older ones have no valve sensors. Look at the type of valve you have. It will be normal valves as get changed when tyres get changed.

I look for Early Build ones that were Demonstrators a year or more down the line if they turn out to have been good and snag fault free. Often the best specced one's before penny (euro) pinching comes in. This is with not popular cars. There are sometimes before refreshes / facelifts that these poor sellers then get stuff thrown in as standard and these might be worth going for a year or 3 later.

Neil Simpson popped up on this forum a few years back with posts, i wonder if he looks in any more to the forum. Maybe send off a communication to him. http://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/about-us/preston-team http://uk.linkedin.com/in/neil-simpson-5297a619

I doubt you can have that activated but someone might be along that knows how to. I would need to have my reading glasses on to see that, it would be easier to look at the gear sticks position for me, but then i drive autos and they are easy to know what gear they are in.

Welcome. Nothing says 'Factory' more than Blank Buttons.

Is you bought a 1.2 TSI / 90 ps then yes it has a turbo. that is the T in TSI. No turbo is a MPI. There is no dipped beam indicator on the dash as there is with many cars.

Does the car have to be scrapped, or sold Spares or Repairs, and is getting a replacement DQ200 DSG out of the question or having new clutches , selectors, flywheel if that is all that it needs? What ever 2 pedal car you get at that budget has the risk. Maybe go to a good local Automatic Repairer and see if they have anything for sale, like a customers car they repaired but could not pay the bill for. They might even want to buy the Octavia as they can fix it cheap enough. Or ask about them doing the work and your friend keeping it.

There was a thread or maybe just posts about the vRS Enyaq Coupe in the Enyaq Section and buyers being conned which seems to have been deleted.

Unlikely any more wear with a Wet Clutch DSG or a dry clutch. Coasting has been part of the set up for enough years now with VW vehicles. As to the WLTP, lots help them when vehicles are under the test regime, but Real World WLTP / RDE2 is not really driving cars around for an hour or 3 on roads with real people other than a driver and actual weather and road conditions on the type that you get winter, spring, summer and autumn.

Take care and all the best.

In the UK with speed limits on UK roads your sporty looking EV the size and weight of an elephant will get passed slower vehicles easily enough on the 60 mph national limit other than the signed 70 mph ones. That is without full throttle on the minimum power. If you drive yellow ones drivers might even let you pass as they think they are being taken like a King or by Traffic Police, emergency services. As to acceleration to get someone off your jacky that will be ok unless a fuller charged EV is what is there. PS. I read the post on this forum on the vRS Enyaq Coupe breaking the Guinness book record on the longest EV drift on ice . Good on them with a car that must have been producing the reduced power level for the majority of the time while getting the record. 15 minutes and 58 seconds of drifting. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/510386-skoda-broke-the-guinness-world-records-title-for-the-longest-continuous-drift-on-ice

Welcome. Sorry all i can suggest is that you get a Mobile Mechanic around to check out your car. Oil is the life blood of an engine. ? Any reason you never put oil in to have it at the correct quantity and have the oil pressure as it should be? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/510909-has-my-engine-just-died

ASG are Single Clutch Automated manuals. Really the most rubbish 2 pedal box / engine combination they could have. Suzuki was / is AGS. I had Jimny Auto's since 2000, and other Suzuki Auto's including Vitara. They do not fit rubbish Auto's, they use good boxes as do Toyota. They are not fitting worse Autos than in the past. VW have messes up the DQ381,s and need to own up to problems with them. Not ignore as they did with DQ200's until other countries like Australia and China made them act. VW Bought into Suzuki to find out more about small turbo engines and Hybrids etc and now Suzuki are ready to build them for sale totally tried and tested unlike VW group did. Suzuki bought back the final shares from VW the day before the Emissions Scandal broke in the US. 6041-VitaraFullHybrid2022Booklet.pdf

Currently i do not know because i do not know what engines are on offer. But the last 1.0 or 1.4 or AWD Vitara's i drove a couple of years ago had different autos in each, CVT or Twin Cluth or TQ boxes. They all worked. Now there are mild hybrids and new ones coming and i have not bothered looking as i have a EV, a Diesel 4x4 & a Suxuki SX4 Auto that is 11 years old with a 1.6 N/A engine and 4 speed auto and as good for economy as any newer cars. Looking to have 1 car that can tow when the EV goes back. It might be a Suzuki but i think maybe the Dacia Jogger with the roof rack system, hybrid / auto and loads of room. Very easy in and out and i find the seats comfy.

Welcome. Sorry i can not help, but have you tried driving your friends car to see if you would change gear according to what the car indicates? I have only ever read / heard of it being hopeless and best ignored.

It is nothing like a ASG in a UP!MIICitigo. Always worth trying driving Auto's yourself and the one you will get and not just listen to roadtester, reviewers driving a media car or loaner, and that might not like Autos of any flavour, CVT, DSG or any comnination. Just arriving into Dealers as Demonstrators soon. The New Dacia Jogger Hybrid (7 seat) is reported to have a 4 speed automated clutchless gear box. Actually, 4 gears 2 electric motors and that means 15 combinations of gears all working pretty seamless. 140ps Clio eTech has the 1.6 NA engine and a 7 speed auto. 145 ps The Renault Arkana Hybrid has 140 ps and really i have no idea what gears, 6 or 7. @lol-lolcan tell us about the last one. As to the Clio e-tech it can achieve amazing MPG for a self charge hybrid, but there is no heated seats or steering wheel available. The Capture e-Tech Hybrid is 140 ps not 145ps as the Clio as it is a different engine.

The Water Pump is not required when the Cam Belt is done. The correct tool is required but it is not a cost a fortune tool as with a 1.5 TSI ACT. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/510433-timing-belt The people you have doing the job need to be able to do it, simple as that really. ? So yes the recommendations, guidelines are @ 5 years. How many miles has your car done in that 5 years? IN THE DUST FREE UK. Not everywhere in Dust Free Europe or the EU...

The new engine. http://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/15-tsi-evo2-even-greater-efficiency-and-lower-emissions-for-the-volkswagen-world-engine-8064

Sales people can just be ridiculous especially at VW Group Dealerships. On job trained from someone badly trained on the job.

If they have used DQ381 in all FWD VW's including the 1.5 TSI ACT or 1.0 TSI, 150 ps / 250Nm or less and Front Wheel Drive they have not done the same with Skodas. *They have not actually used DQ381,s in all 1.0 or 1.5 TSI ACT VW's. & it is silly of a sales person to say they have, and the Extended Warranty can be bought before the car is First Registered in the UK, and better to be than wait till the 3 year Manufacturers Warranty has or is about to expire.* The Mk4 Fabia or the Scala, Kamiq, Karoq or Octavia even the Superb have DQ200,s that are no different from DQ200's since fitted to Yetis. No more robust now than before. Surely they have got rid of snagging faults. Well not actually, but the Manufacturers Warranty including the extended one does include the Clutch Packs now. The mild hybrid 1.0 TSI or 1.5 TSI use the DQ200e, but 1.4 TSI PHEV's use the DQ400-e. SKODA_Warranty_Terms_November_2021 (1) (1).pdf

There is only one DSG fitted to mk 2 or MK3 Fabia. The DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG. No service intervals. As fitted to almost all VW,s of 192,ps or less, No more than 250 Nm, and front wheel drive other than on a Kodiaq. So on the Scala, Kamiq, Octavia, Karoq,Yeti and even Superb with 1.5, 1.4 1.2 or 1.0 TSI,s and TDI 1.2, 1.4 or 1.6. pretty simple really. All lower powered Skoda fwd basically.

Those that did the repair are the best people to assist with help are they not. Hopefully others might be along that have done the same in the past and might have had to resolve any issues.

@RagadymanWhat were you actually doing with your car, was it just an oil change and letting the tensioner lose tension and the chain jump, or were you actually replacing the chain?

Positive. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/394621-skoda-fabia-mk2-vrs-positive-thread-part-2-part-1-was-locked http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/332715-skoda-fabia-mk2-vrs-2010-2014-how-many-left-driving-them/page/11 There are members than have had more than 1 Twincharger and moved on and then come back & bought another. @sharkrideri think is back again owning one.
