@Kachaka Has your car had the VW Group Emissions Cheat FIX carried out, so the new Engine Management and a flow device fitted in the Air Intake? Was that done before you got it or since? http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

Nothing wrong with a blast. Thrashing not necessary. Still not sure what this has to do with the OP and the Oil Temperature. If going for a blast or thrash or just a drive to do a regen you want the Engine up to temp, that will be the coolant to temp and the Oil to Temp as it is a coolant. The Normal Oil Operating temp indicated in the UK with a TDI is about 90*oC and the oil gets hotter but the Coolant helps reduce that to around 90*oC. If the Oil after 15 miles or so even in cold weather is showing only 70-75*oC then something needs sorting.

Simply Clever is if a tyre or another tyre is losing pressure between setting the TPMS and a warning is check if the tyre bead is leaking maybe because of corrosion on the wheel or a valve before looking for more reasons. If the tyre pressure check is accurate and the odd tyre is only dropping 1 or 2 psi as in the OP maybe the issue is not just that reduction in pressure so the tyre circumference.

The OEM Fabia Mk2 TPMS if that is what the car has has no valve sensors so no batteries in the tyres. @Murdockman Does your Mk3 Fabia have Sensor Valves fitted and show individual tyre pressures on your dash or which tyre has lost pressure?

VW will eventually get there hopefully. Vorsprung Durch Technik. Get them out and registered and save on penalties for not meeting average emission requirements. That was not with just the cars was not just with EV's Plug in or mild hybrids it includes full ICE vehicles. Re miles per kWh and cost. 15 pence a kWh then 3 miles per kWh is 5 pence a mile. Nice. If a kWh costs 50 pence BP Pulse 100+ charging and you get 4 miles per kWh then that is 12.5 pence a mile. 3 miles per kWh is 16.6 pence a mile.

^^^ IMO what tosh, thrashing is not required. That is from someone that 2 years ago used to get a DPF warning light out in a Euro 6 2.0 TDI / SCR DSG after 8 miles of a run out on back roads, then a few thousand miles later it started to need to be 20 miles or so. Thrashing has no place in this just 60 mph on NSL roads was fine. The clogged DPF was just happening when maybe 5 days in a week only doing a few miles in a 30 mph limit. Cold starts. That was when 25 mpg might be normal from cold starts. On a run the car got 45-60 mpg.

Check that measurements given. But you sit at the front corner. Do you live / drive where there are lots of roundabouts or even mini roundabouts. A pity that before now like a year / 9,000 miles ago the wheels / tyres were never swapped front to back or even checked. At some point there was 5 mm then 4 mm tread on the tyre.

I do not think so. Amazing that only a 1 or 2 psi drop when checked cold has the warning coming on. Seems like it is doing the job well that it is there to do. Being sensitive is better than a warning too late allowing you to drive about with tyres maybe getting too hot or just warning when there is obviously a puncture. Best sort out the tyre or tyre that loses pressure between setting the pressures and resetting the TPMS.

Other than the usual mechanical / electric stuff that there are lots of threads covering, when was the brake fluid last changed or checked for H2o content? Could the brake fluid have been overheating?

I read Mk2 Fabia Owners manuals and any typos / revisions and there it said + 2 degrees C for the AC to work. Remember that cars take the ambient temperatures at different heights on different vehicles. Some might be at the front and low or at the mirrors. The temperature is different at Grass / Ground temp or 'Air Temp' which is well above ground temp. There can be a few degrees temp difference 0-18" above the ground or 36" above.

@kodiaqsportline Were you a member previously that left the forum last year and who's posts from then show as Guest? Those were posts that often referred to 'Armchair experts'.

@Zigaka Welcome to the forum. Did you get a copy of the official Oil Consumption Test & was the oil shown as weighing 856/ 857 grams a litre? Here this Technician seemed to think a litre is 1,000 grams. Here the member got a new engine since the official test was total rubbish and actually 0.3 litres in 1,000 km was not acceptable oil use. (Bottom 2 was the old way of an oil consumption test.)

Much cheapness buying food at my favourite Scotmid and just the £7.44 for the electric.

Plenty post on here that they were happy with Dealership services. They post in the Dealership section and various sections / models of this forum. But you have to be reading threads & posts to maybe notice that.

@Kachaka What is the cars 'Coolant temperature' showing on the gauge once it should be up to heat?

http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/490693-e-10-fuels

You get Techs, Master Techs and fitters and trainees / apprentices & Work Shop & Service Managers. The Master Tech or Tech might support a warranty issue / claim, but there is a Warranty Manager who might well not be a Tech, Mechanic or Motor Engineer. There are Area Warranty Managers as well.

@Kachaka Was it the indicated Oil Temperature between 85-90 and now 70-75? Strange that the Oil never went higher than 90*oC. I would have expected the Coolant to stick around that indicated temp but the Oil to get hotter in warmer weather and at higher speeds.

Welcome to the forum. Worth asking on the threads in the Fabia Mk3 section. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/468348-fuel-leak Rapid Section. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/495523-major-fuel-leak-due-to-bolt-shearing-on-the-fuel-injector-rail-assembly Octavia Mk3. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/486004-fuel-leak-from-injector-rail

Something wrong with the Dealership staff. They are driving nice Demonstrators and Skoda UK owned vehicles this weekend. Skoda Assist can get a Hire Car to you before the day is out. Call them.

This about the Yeti Bonnet and opening it applies to the Mk2 Fabia and other Skoda & VW Group vehicles. (Some have Oil Warnings that are an issue with the connection @ the bonnet and the bonnet catch, so they address that as the oil sensor might not be where the fault lies.) The Oil filter on too tight, the wrong one as happened with some 1.2 TSI's from 2012 and then the failure to remove a seal and having 2 on are other common issues.

The Cross Hatch Area A, B, C are for checking at Operating / Normal Operating temp and not as the Mk2 Fabia Manual says which is 'Warm'. Checked Cold the engines oil level might well show on the flat bit above the Cross Hatch area. (VW, SEAT & Audi owners manuals for the same engines can say 'Hot' or Operating Temperature'. ) ***The thing with the Low Oil Warning / Yellow Oil Can or sometimes the REd Oil Can for the Low Oil Pressure is that if you open the bonnet and shut it and do nothing the Warning Lights or message can go out for 100km / 62 miles. *** A Light or message extinguishing after dipping or checking oil or opening the bonnet does not mean then that the oil level is safe to continue with.

The 'Inspection Service' flashing up is a total nonsense. Pretty much a UK think with Fitters / Techs at the PDI not setting the Service Indicator correctly. A few years back some Skoda Main Dealers were quoting £85 for an 'Inspection' which was the Body / Corrosion Inspection to keep the Warranty Valid. This is not a T&C in the Warranty that an Inspection & Report should be done Annually or B-Annually. Back when there were Service Books there was a Page after the Service Page to fill in showing the 'Inspection' and any damage. So that is nearly 10 years since that ended.

I should mention that when the DC is Out of Order on the chargers the AC still works usually. Again lack of knowledge or consideration from users means that they ignore using them and tie up a bay at a Working Rapid charger where getting your charging port near the charger can be an issue. Luckily you can get parked behind these chargers and still get plugged in. Getting a good charging speed from 50kW CPS Chargers is unusual but thankfully out of 4 free charges in the past 24 hours they were as good or better than at a PodPoint 50kW charger. Podpoint was filling to 99% so longer on the charger.
