@Madvlad65 It hardly matters if done years ago if your car is not using oil. It was done when people complained enough about high oil use and should show on the Service & Warranty History as Skoda / VW Paid for it. If you know what the difference of OEM and then the Update Breather & even the 2nd Update as in Australia got you can look. Really it makes no difference as it never worked anyway and then the next cunning stunt was the Oil Spray Jet Upgrade which again never worked for many and they got a replacement engine. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/318553-fabia-vrs-mk2-breather-fix-yes-or-no-for-high-oil-consumption

That is why VW Group / Skoda started deleting under bonnet insulation on some cars. & no Spare wheel / Tyres, and using less sound deadening, less paint, thinner glass etc.. WLTP / RDE & now RDE2.

Because I can only drive so much these days now that I do not trade in cars. That being Skoda's mainly. Now if you worry less about me and my posts you might get on with your own happy clappy life.

It is also the case that if it was done for a previous driver like one having a 3 year Motability Lease car it is not changed back to Factory Setting at the service / MOT before the hand back or a car goes to auction at BCA. So plenty cars going about not back to Factory Settings over the past many years. Good to see the TPI. Sadly many cars including ones sitting now as Skoda Approved Used cars might not have had the Workshop Action taken. Some will not even of had 'Recall actions' carried out because not all Used Cars get a Service before Main Dealers sell them. http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

Was that 11 months ago? No matter. Long life oil was used. But, Someone that did it at 30,000 km has left it showing as needing an Inspection. If it is on Variable servicing it is a OIl & Inspection service due. There is no 'Inspection' only. They need to reset the Service Indicator if you can not,

Yes. So was your car serviced a Year ago and given an oil change? Fixed Servicing. Then the car left showing an Inspection due a year later. Or is this the first time it will be serviced? Variable Servicing is 2 years since the car had it's PDI and this is the first Service due. Not just an Inspection but an Oil & Filter change and Inspection. Fixed servicing at 372 days / 15,000 km or sooner. Variable servicing @ 24 months / 30,000 - 32,000 km No idea what setting your car has had on it, or any service reset since new. Has it had any servicing?

He hit the nail on the head. Cars you could love can be annoying because of stupid little things

@thomasaspinthat is remembering that your Twincharger cars engine was replaced was it not or was it just the CAVE updates that were done before you started modding it. So the Engine Breather mod was done, and was the OIl Spray Jets done. @dkneoEnjoy the car and there is no need to stay away from putting the DSG into S as that is it just holding the gears to a higher RPM before changing up. When you read of someone booting the car in S and maybe getting a misfire or the car going into limp mode that is just because there was maybe a bad sparkplug and the tip maybe burned up. So be sure there are 4 good spark plugs fitted. ? Are you able to run the car on Super Unleaded or are you just running it on Unleaded 95? ? Do you know for sure the car has not already had a Remap? You can check with Skoda or a Dealership what the history of you car is in the early years or if any Service Campaign work was done or even if the car has the original engine. There are over 20% CAVE cars in the UK that do not have the engine in that they left the factory with. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/350973-warranty-on-replacement-engine Your CAVE might have had a Software Update already years ago along with a Breather Update that was done from 2012 on. Also your DSG might have had the Service Campaign on the DSG which started in 2014 on ones 2010-2012. That was a Oil change from Synthetic to mineral & a software update of dsg. '34F7'. There would be a sticker in the Spare Tyre Well or should be. No matter if all is well now though. Pinned threads at the top of this section.

You plug in and you get settings like for 'Disability', sometimes a setting that Motability cars might have done at a PDI which is more Assistance and maybe less assistance settings. Sporty'. I am not familiar with Octavias but someone will be. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/381220-vcds-power-steering-assistance I am used to doing Mk2 Fabia with different tyres on and in winter and not Octavias. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/294303-vcds-steering-assist-polo-gti-setting

Car bonnets are not supposed to be getting heavier over the years as cars are supposed to be getting lighter and have been. We are talking about a medium sized family hatchback here. So adding complexity and weight with electrically operated stuff makes no sense. Maybe some of the gas struts as fitted by people to Fabia or Octavia will be usable. A google of 'front hood bonnet gas struts for skoda kamiq' brought up results including on Amazon.

No because they are bl00dy expensive. As it is i went to £100 Praxis cassette instead of £50 ones. My needs are different as i am cycling with only one leg so i use the small ring until it is gubbed. This is just on my Specialised, the other bikes do not have the instant power.

Nothing to do with Brexit, that filler flap is on a 2010 Skoda in the UK. Brexit means that today is the day that it begins that New Type Approved cars in the EU need to be built with a Speed Limiter, but not so yet in the UK.

Because. Well you are buying cars built abroad. It used to be Kilopascal / kPa & BAR.

If. So you check tyre pressures and reset them, and not everyone runs the same pressures front and rear. Less than 2 minutes and done because you do not know if AN Other has done it, or when the TPMS was set. As it is regular checks is simply clever.

Easy to wreck cassettes in not a lot of miles on bikes with lots of torque. My small rear ring is often stripped in a couple of hundred miles and then i adjust the derailleur and just use the rest and when the next one replace the gears and chain. Damn expensive.

Possibly low miles and gentle use is the issue. Maybe it was TPS for the parts supplier, that is the VW Group one.

At least any Face Lifts / MY23 are not new models so not new type approvals so from today in the EU do not require the mandatory speed limiters.

First thought is always, what tyres are on and are the pressures correct? 2nd is, is this car new to you, or you are used to the car and the steering is now heavy. Then it is. Is the car as it left the factory or has the steering been adjusted to suit AN Other by the steering assist being reduced.

Can you not go back and ask the tester, and was that at a MOT test station or at the dealership? Have you been OK with how the brakes have been for how you use them or has the performance of the braking been reducing? Appearance is one thing as far as the dealership goes, and passing the MOT is another. Was the Master Tech happy enough with the braking when they road tested the car? What discs and pads went on last year were they main dealer supplied? I have had brand new Automatics over the years with pathetic brakes from new and that when on brake testers and were pathetic but would have passed a MOT.

Welcome. Someone will be along to help hopefully. How many miles has your car done and is it the first MOT? At services what have you paid to have done to your brakes? Have the wheels ever been off the car, the brakes serviced / stripped, cleaned, greased. the brake fluid tested for H20 or the brake fluid changed? Or is it just an inspection that has been done?

That might need clarification and is it start no more production of them but there are ones unfinished MY22 car and just requiring parts that will be getting completed.

Skoda 1.0 & 1.5 TSI FWD cars 150 ps or less and no more than 250 Nm are DQ200's. (Except with the Kodiaq or 1.5 TSI Hybrids) Wet Clutch DSG's were and are 40,000 miles in Europe and other World regions other than DQ381,s that are now 80,000 Audi had the S-Tronic at 38,000 miles even though the same boxes.

@Plentyrightfoot The difference with your 6 and 7 speed wet clutch DSG's are there is a single oil in them. (DQ381's are now shown with a Oil change at 80,000 miles. some are still doing at 40,000) The DQ200 DSG 7 speed twin clutch has 2 oils, so in the box and in the MCU. Wet Clutch DSG's have never had a no oil change or filter change guidelines or schedule if they have one in the UK or anyplace. There certainly can be bits (dust / stoor) in the clutch area of DQ200's and there are people that change one or both oils. There is no schedule or recommendations from VW Group globally to change the oil. So not adopted by the VW Group or approved repairers / main dealers. (There was the Global Recall in 2012 excluding Europe & the change of oil from synthetic to mineral and the extended warranty in some world regions, but never any change from VW group since on the Servicing.) Pictures in here. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/471908-dsg-box-oil

Look in the fuel filler flap and decide by that guidance, or reduce the pressures to your usual. At least at the service they bothered checking and increasing the pressures. hopefully the spare as well if there is one. Also they reset the TPMS. Remember and reset it if you adjust or check the pressures.

Lovely. http://skoda-storyboard.com/en/skoda-world/skoda-and-volkswagen-three-decades-of-partnership
