No but a £20 note could buy 10 lottery tickets. A stock of bulbs is handy but with DRL's on a Yeti if 1 goes you can just remove the other and have none working.

Not sure if worth buying these at a reduced price just incase they are needed sometime into the future if a bulb blows. It seems like a poor investment as they will be available 'at much cheapness' when actually required.

@Sarah44 Welcome. Are you near Girvan? https://www.thomsondiagnostics.co.uk

I have read the stuff on the Bosch 'remap', and non Dealer / Bosch approved and getting 3 chances and locked out or such like. My 'hardware and software' was applied / fitted before the bike was delivered from the EU by an approved dealer. https://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/content/how-to-de-restrict-or-tune-your-electric-bike-to-make-it-go-faster.aspx

? How many Kamiq owners on here took part in the What Car Survey?

On my Specialised Levo with a 'Hack' for speed but no 'Dongle' the wheel circumference is reset to cheat the Brose motor / controller. On my Cannondale / Bosch motor i have a Chip / Dongle allowing 'Offroad' mode in the UK. (28 mph max assistance) 2255 mm is the standard wheel circumference, and this can be reset.

Not great for anyone that has to pay out for repairs then on cars still within the Manufacturers Warranty but it appears that the faults were covered by Skoda from this article / survey. That is the cars of people that responded to the What Car Survey. (Maybe there are owners that never responded to the survey and never had faults rectified for no cost.) ? Did Skoda / VW UK provide the statistics? EDIT. RESULTS FROM A SURVEY of OWNERS. Reads like around 50% were in the workshop or waiting to go to the workshop between 1 day and one week then, *Skoda / VW Group so the Warranty provider covering the cost of the 12% of faults reported is good, seeing as the cars were under the manufacturers warranty.* The Manufacturers that are covering the cost of car repairs when out of warranty is impressive. But then if they are manufacturing faults they should do. https://www.whatcar.com/news/car-of-the-year-awards-2022-reliability-award/n23997 1. Lexus 2. Dacia 3. Suzuki Small SUV / Crossover / Tall roof Hatchbacks.... A Dacia Duster is a Small SUV by it's size / length / width / height / wheel base yet is not on this list, What Car has it as a Family SUV !.

Time will tell with lease cars going back at 2 or 3 years, one service having been done & then the Approved Used Vehicle vehicles that might need more money spending at 4 years, rear drums off etc. As it is it takes 2 years of private / business owners driving vehicles to know how they are after 2 years of real world use. The R&D with Left Hand Drive cars & Mules has never yet meant that cars have no snagging faults or that 2 years of supposed test drivers equates to real drivers. VW Group are still not at peace with Water Pumps yet all the decades after they gave up air cooled. They have not got Drum Brakes right by the time they stopped using them, and now they are back with them. The servicing included cleaning them and somehow some UK Dealerships did that without the wheels ever coming off the car..

The Lost in translation and pathetic proof reading has been the same for decades. Written in German, translated to Czech, Spanish, English / US English, Chinese etc or vice versa. Then when km is converted to miles VW / Audi have a different number by a few hundred from Skoda / SEAT.

Nail on the head. The prices Dealerships are going to charge or quote will be interesting. The Video shows how easy a pollen filter change is for those that want to give one a shake and a vaccum between services, or buy one at a reasonable price and not need to have a Dealerships ridiculous price charged.

Welcome to the forum. When you remove the springs maybe let @Aussiev6 know what your car had fiited. Maybe he can get his car with more ground clearance. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/503559-off-road-wheels-and-tyres/page/2

Some people do not see the point of checking tyre pressures because there is a TPMS. It does not mean they are right. Not quite sure were not inspecting a car for 2 years means a car 'stays in the best possible shape'. It will have a 'cheap servicing regime' though. Those that might do 40,000-50,000 in 2 years might see where there is the advantage of reduced maintenance but the benefit of a professional doing an inspection might be more important to them. Pre or post winter. Rather different doing the high miles really from those that do maybe only 10,000 miles a year. Brake fluid replaced at 20,000 miles on some cars and maybe 40,000 miles on others! But as long as the Cars ECU is doing the monitoring and coolant dropping comes up as a warning and anything else then 'what is the worst that can happen'. Tyres will likely be replaced by the 2 years on high mileage EV's so at least the wheels will be off and someone might give the brakes a look over. PS I topped up coolant in my EV this week as it was low. Car has not been serviced in the past 10,000 miles because the dealer can not supply an automatic courtesy car. The first 8,000 mile service was never completed or even started really even though they had it 4 hours in the workshop as there was no qualified tech. 2 Safety Recall actions have not been done and one includes a brake update. But then this is a Vauxhall. The 16,000 mile / 2 year service interval after the first 8,000 mile inspection first shown was dropped before customers got cars, but the Dealership staff appear to not know this. If VW Group find there are warranty claims or faults on the new platform BEV's that appear within 2 years of cars being first on the road they will be revising the 'Unlimited mile' firat servicing.

Welcome to the forum. A 'upgraded' replacement cover should be coming to you at no cost eventually, but then the salesperson doing the handover should have known that and told you. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/503054-what-is-engine-cover-security-on-a-multi-point-inspection-report

Use the oil to VW 507 00 so the 5w 30 FS III. Skoda / VW recommendation of Castrol counts for nothing or what name it has. 'professional '. At a main dealers you might get Quantum / Fuchs oil. The spec matters. Castrol is nothing special. Note Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French manufacturers do not recommend Castrol. But then they have no special partnership with them.

@lol-lolShe nails it on the head. I see that there are those that advertise the Stellantis cars as having 45kW batteries which is what they should have done from the start since only the Usable actually matters, and 3 x 45 is 135, and 3 times 50 is 150 obviously. 4.6 miles x 45 kW is 207 miles and not going to happen. Well not very often with people, luggage, weather and going places. Regardless of a heat pump.

Spark plugs come pre-gapped so when you have the correct new plugs for the car you take then out the box, remove the plastic or cardboard sleeve protecting the plug end. You inspect the gap, you measure the gap and fit the plugs without knocking / dropping them. Reason being. Someone else might of had those new plugs, looked at them decided they were wrong and hand we d then back. Assuming a pre-set gap is correct is a common error even professionals make because they were trained by someone wow also did that.

@RobClubley maybe you have not seen this.

Here we are. So not 'Compulsory' So that is the Warranty sorted regarding Servicing to the Manufacturers recommendations. But those that do want a Skoda Main Dealer to do an Inspection Service before 2 years should not be turned away being told 'We can not service it before 2 years'. ** Maybe those doing 'Higher miles' might want to be checking tyre wear themselves if the car is not going to be getting checked by others for a couple of years.** Pollen filters that are good for 2 years regardless of were they are used, cities, countryside etc are not unusual but drivers that are doing high annual miles might want to change them sooner than cars doing much less miles. Just as well they are so simple to change. *Simple enough to check it, vacuum it and clean the area and put it back until it is replaced if you are paying for a service with a fixed price / service plan where they charge for a pollen filter.* Time will tell if this 'Service period' of 2 years and not by miles requires a change as cars are on the roads for over a year and higher miles. Vorsprung Durch Technik.

^^^ It certainly should not be that. It is ridiculous if a car does not do that and the driver does not experience that and then it gets a 'Minor Service', so an Oil & Filter / Inspection service and then does behave like that. If the spark plugs have been touched, the coils, a software update done then maybe, but not just an Oil & Filter service.

@domhnall Is your service indicator on the Enyaq counting down in days to the first service? How many miles have you done now? It was my bad using 'vague', but you prove the point. It does read some places as if the first service is due at 2 years and there are those at dealerships that say it is regardless of miles. You said Skoda are 'pretty clear', but it is Skoda Global on Facebook that we have to go look for ! People should not need to ask on social media / forums or have to search and find contradictory information. So 'Simply clever' would be that SKODA CZ, SKODA UK state clearly on their websites what the 'Recommended' Servicing is, or even call it a 'schedule'. If it is like Petrol & Diesels and 'Regular Service Intervals' are and that is like Flexible / Variable then it is 24 months / 19,000 miles, which ever comes first. It surely could not be at 2 years for someone that does 20,000 miles a year. But then that driver will maybe use common sense rather than what some call handler working for Skoda / VW tell them.

^^^ That is really just (TDI) CR S-A (Semi Automatic)

The toerags that puncture fuel tanks would have unscrewed it to get the fuel and not left it in. But then they are not as stupid to not know where the spare tyre well is. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/430385-fuel-stolen-new-trick-vulnerable-sump

? Have you checked yet how it is valued on a Sales Website if you were flogging it. That is as pre accident, as it is not written off yet is it? WBAC, Evan Halshaw, Arnold Clark, Motorway etc. That is obviously not giving the Buying price of getting one from the places that would have bought it. That is £1,500 or more.

The PSA / Stellantis EV's have a heat pump. Just how poor would efficiency be if they did not because with it is garbage.

^^^ Remember that back in 2020 you told us that you had bought a Yeti that had had The Fix.
