Likely it is to not automatically put too much load on the battery. EV,s can be the same. Might let you have heated seats on but not heated steering wheel on if heated screens, mirrors, radio, lights etc. If demand not too high then you can just press button and have steering wheel heating on.

Inspect the tyres well. Not just the tyre wall you can easily see the one were you need to be under the car or have the wheels off. EDIT< Not a bad idea pre winter servicing, wheels off and brakes, cleaned, pins greased anyway. Checking wheels come off. You are looking for any bulge in the tyres. Rear especially in your case. Tyre out of shape. Ps. Are the spark plugs ok? Changed or checked. 40,000 life, maybe more but they are consumables.

Who manufactured the OEM ones for the VW Group / Skoda? because VW Group will not have manufactured them.

@wyx087I will stick with the Corsa until next August & even extend the lease while waiting on whatever as i really like the car, and hopefully on Motability there will be an affordable advance payment People Carrier / Estate that can carry bikes in the back and be good for an easy 200 miles even in winter. Then i will go for one of those. (I am interested to see what changes the Corsa comes back with as some have reported better efficiency after the software update, some have reported their car has been ruined.) Whatever i have from new now i not only needs to be comfortable for long journeys but also with simple controls and not any stupid touch buttons or sliders that are not lit up in the dark, or require reading glasses on to be able to see to use or stuff on the screen so small that i can not see. I hated an ID.3 when i tried and a Born was so so. The Golf's mis-mash is unreal. There are some quick use buttons for de-mist, rear screen, autolights etc. But the heater, face, screen feet are just not that quick to get to. The steering wheel buttons are all there, far too many, far too small and require looking at as not as user friendly like a toggle or scroll wheel. I will never have a new vehicle again without Matrix headlights. PS. For driving flooded roads i will always want to be in an EV.

Audi is part of the VW Group. VW/Audi as you see on parts on VW, Audi, Skoda & SEAT. Other manufacturers might be the same as VW but generation after generation of engine they do not keep having the same issues. VW took Software development in-house and that has been a total disaster. That is obvious with a little look in various sections of this forum where members have had their vehicles in several times and the issues are still not resolved. PS. My Corsa Electric is in for 2 Recall Actions. Maybe on Monday they might get it completed on the critical software update that they can not complete. They have failed on Thursday & twice on Friday. They can not get to 100% before their system crashes, it is supposed to be a 4 hour job. Some cars are out of action for days, some even weeks. I have a Hire Car for 7 days fortunately. Also new discs and pads fitted all round at 26 months old. Not from hard use, from no use as not required withe regen available. That is a Vauxhall, so PSA / Stellantis as they are now. *There is also a drop in coolant to MIN, it sets it's own level. seemingly the tech fired up the car and could see no leaks.* Well it is the Heat Pump system and he is unlikely too but it will eventually go below MIN if not topped up as i have been doing but not to MAX.

Welcome. Best you go talk with an Automatic Gearbox specialist and find out if they have dealt with ASG's before. Or if it is a VW Specialist or Tech you talk to they will need to have worked on them and not farmed the work out to a specialist.

I do not think that the VW Group make water pumps. Maybe someone knows better. They are pretty poor at purchasing parts of many kinds for millions of vehicles. It seems to be how they are always screwing down the manufacturers to sell them whatever to the spec they want. They are like that with tensioners, bearings, brake components, possibly door seals. Decades and decades to get things right and they fail. Vorsprung Durch Technik. Move along quickly, not our fault.

@BJMOnly in my EV or anyone's where it requires paying for public charging. Not something i have had to do or will do if i an avoid, which mostly i can. My comparison was the £7 i usually pay @ Edinburgh Airport for this Journey and the £41. That is £34 difference. The rest is what the 320 miles would cost at the different charging costs of 35 pence and more a kWh. Some might do their trips, business or other on cheap home or work tariffs electric. I have done 35,000 miles in 26 months in EV's for under £150 of paying for electric & CPS cards. (Charge Place Scotland) I allow an extra 60 minutes for 150 miles of a trip which can be as much as 450 miles once or twice a week. So charging time is not the issue when i have all the time in the world. When charging is a crap experience of waiting to get charging it is still 'much cheapness'. It is nice though sometimes to do 150 miles in 3 hours or so, then another 150 without waiting about. PS In my Diesel 4x4 Van i get 26 mpg. The 320 miles would require 12 gallons rather than 5 as with the Golf i was driving. Even with that poor MPG it would come out costing less and getting home sooner, most likely in winter than an EV charging at £1 a kWh & maybe getting less than 3 miles a kWh.

BRISKODA. Adverts. Cheap to sell just need to get Freedom Light, and good for Wheels & Tyres for sale, usually by BRISKODA Members / Skoda enthusiasts.

Enjoy it. First thing to read up on in the manual and understand when in the car is 'Autohold', no need to sit with a foot on the brake pedal and have brake lights on. (Well actually 'Autohold' will have the brake lights on in your car'.) So get to know how the PHEV works and if you are going to need to use the e-Brake if you want the brake light off when people behind for extended periods. Others with the same as your car will be along.

I did my usual return trip of 320 miles in an efficient diesel instead of my EV. 115ps 2.0 TDI 7 speed DSG 21 plate Golf. I enjoyed it very much. Missed heated seat and steering wheel and physical buttons. 80 miles of 60 MPH limit roads getting 70 mpg average plus displayed & 240 miles motorway getting 60 + mpg displayed. I used 23 litres brim to brim. 5 gallons, so an average 64 mpg.. 177.9 pence a litre. ****cost £41. **** Usually with just paying for a 30 minute charge at Edinburgh airport it cost me about £7. Other charges are free, before i head off, then first charge after 65 miles then after 90 miles then the Edinburgh charge after 99 miles home. Then free charging gets done. That is lots of charging time on sometimes hopelessly slow chargers. But if i was paying 35 pence a kWh and getting 3.1 miles per kWh which i would in this weather that would be 103 kWh so ****£36.13.**** At least 90 mins charge time needed, often much more. @ 50 pence a kWh then £51.50. 69 pence a kWh then £71.07 £1 a kWh £103. That would be crazy. Average speed showing is odd as @ NSL's with only a few miles in total through 30 mph villages. Yesterday when showing 80 mpg plus for about 10 miles after filling up the range was showing 620 miles.

There is a catalytic converter and a gpf. There is the need to get these hot as well as coolant then oil.

@Snapper1725, did the interior never get to 22*oC then? Any clues you could give on what engine and gearbox the car has and even what the outside temperature was. What about if you ask the car to heat the interior to 18*oC. Can the system heat the interior to that?. If the outside temp is less and the inside starts cooler than that,.

@bigdavyrich still the same thing. What size engine are you looking at with a DSG. 2013 with a 2.0 TSI or TDI with have DQ250. Good, but oil changes should have been every 40,000 miles, documented.

Fitted to what engine? DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch has had issues. Not all obviously. Then then there are 6 or 7 speed wet clutch DSG,s as fitted to 2.0 litre TDI or TSI that have serviced schedules. All good as long as fault free. A few might have issues, just like manuals can. Edit. Sorry welcome to the forum. If you mean your 2012 1.6 TDI DSG. They have not the best of histories. Check if 34h5 was needed or done since 2017. No matter if not if the box is ok now. Maybe it has had clutch packs already if ever needed.

Someone can tell you hopefully. Ask for settlement figure right away I think. Still keep the benefits. But those that have done it know best. The salesperson does not want you doing it.

Easiest to open the hatch. Unless the sticker had worn off the 3 letter transmission code is on the sticker. Maybe beside it the Service campaign stickers for what done if done or sticker applied. There is only one DSG used anyway, ECU, software is different. If 34h5 was done that is a software update . Different from the 34f7 on DQ200 2009-2012.

I bumped the thread. Post there with the link to XDS. There are others. Car gets plugged in and XDS, steering assist or brake assist can be changed from factory setting. If you have good tyres on now and want a LDS fitted then splash the cash and get one fitted.

Bump .

That is not stability. It is the XDS. Have you adjusted that. It can be turned up or down, or off. It turns off on a track or when the brake system overheats anyway.

@Crucian. Why do you need to know? Your car if it still has the original DQ200 it left the factory with should maybe have had service campaign 34h5 done since 2017. Ps. Edit. Everything is possible. @thomasaspin should be able to advise. Or use search and you can read the threads. DQ200 Quaife LSD. You will see it showing for the Polo GTI 2010-2014.

It is a dq200. The code of yours is on the build sticker in the spare tyre well beside where it shows the engine.

Brakes work approved by Motability. Damn right. Software update not carried out. Seemingly Vauxhall's system is down. That will be chocolate. So Monday maybe. 150 miles today in Golf. 60 mpg average. Lane assist very good. DSG needs in S crawling in traffic. Dies in 1st moving off in D. Annoying. Stop start is great as is Autohold. Lane assist very good. Disables in 30 and 40 mph speed limits.

@toeFind a proper mechanic to resolve the issue on a 3 year old car rather than looking for this wire.

At the dealership, Open the bonnet, dip the oil level cold. Know where it is. Once home you can check at operating temp and be able to know how the car arrived. Look at the coolant level. remember where that is at handover. Check those tyre pressures as already suggested. Reset the TPMS if correct. If not safely set have the Salesperson get someone out to do that. They can also get the Master Tech to check who did the PDI.
