I read the figure as being 40% do not have off-street parking in the UK. No idea of the truth of any statistics from H M Government , RAC, AA or Insurance companies. No idea if that is accurate even for England let alone the UK. It is like the average distant from a filling station or a charger. Kidology. Not relevant for many in much of the UK not in built up areas.

Service History / Warranty History/ Service Campaign History on the Skoda System. With a Dealership, or Skoda Customer services. ? Which country are you in? http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

@lol-lol If a kWh of electricity is 28 pence at a public charger and a kWh takes you 4 miles than then that is 7 pence a mile. if 30 pence it is 7.5 pence. 42 pence a kWh then that is 10.5 pence a mile. So if we add in cold weather or actually putting people in a car and you get 2.5 miles per kWh than you get to costing much the same as an ICE vehicle per mile for fuel. 18 kWh @ 42 pence = £7.56. 18kWh getting 2.5 miles per kWh is just getting you 45 miles. There are incentives in the UK for Employers / Workplaces to have EV chargers and free charging and it is not uncommon. Not uncommon now that their vehicles are being charged at the workplace either. There are many incentives in the UK for Business Users to have EV's be them cars or goods vehicles. Thousands of EV's in Scotland are leased by Local Authorities and sitting doing nothing for much of the lease period.

You might want to get one that has not had the Service Campaign / Recall Action VW mission Cheat Software Fix carried out. So no Software Update and Plastic Airflow Device in the Air Intake. Then you want to check if it was one covered by Service Campaign '34H5' on the DQ200 DSG. That was on some from 2013-2015, and a software update. So was it done, was it needed, is that outstanding? It was started in 2017.

@PetrolDave I really meant people that are interested in EV's or looking at getting them. Obviously some of those might not even be aware though. As to the majority of car drivers in the UK it might be the case that they just drive whatever, put fuel in or someone else does and that is that. Car gets serviced or a mot or replaced before a mot is due and that is done some how by someone at sometime. EV's can be a total PITA as i am now very much aware & certainly not cheap to run if paying the commercial rate to charge them at Public Chargers.

50 kWh with 45 kWh usable & getting 3 miles per kWh is good when that is 135 miles, or better 3.5 miles per kWh so 157.5 miles or so. If just 5 miles in a 24 hour day uses 5kWh then there is something pretty crap. the 5 kW can take you 15 miles of driving without even needing to get much or even any regen. Must just be my car that is using up electricity like it is going out of fashion. I have no fancy features that should be draining the battery like the Teslas. & Not particularly cold so far this month. Fantastic.

TC / ASR so Traction Control / Anti Slip Regulation does not operate untill the wheels do spin. Then the XDS / XDS+ can nip the brake or cut the power. That is how it works. It is not Derren Brown so knows the tyres will spin before they do. The system does not even know what tyres are fitted, at what pressure or if the driver is away to floor the accelerator when dry, on gravel, at a junction with lock on or in the wet, cold, ice or snow.

People know about EV batteries and losses when colder and reduced range. I was doing lots of miles last year and charging and charging free and in the coldest weather plugging my car in to pre heat and defrost. This winter because local charging is not free other than at Tesco I am charging there. So last week I had 46 kWh from them for only 70 miles of driving. And I had 25 kWh free at CPS chargers on Saturday. What I am now aware of is the battery dropping up to 9% in 24 hours with only 5 miles of driving in that time. Driving a car that could do 40mpg of cold start short journeys would be cheaper in fuel than paying the likes of InstaVolt to buy 46 kWh of electricity. Or even Tesco to rapid charge at 28 pence a kWh. A Self charge hybrid would be ideal for me at the moment to satisfy my tightness when it comes to spending on energy. Edit. Today again that is nearly 40 minutes on a 7kW charger and 5kWh. Just above freezing night temp and only 5 miles driven.

Hopefully someone will have what you need to save your time, but does the car not have an exhaust on it now that has the exact information required?

@KenONeill Fair enough, but people buying new cars or used cars might look at the Spec and compare trim for trim. Plenty on here bought Mk2 vRS or Monte Carlo Fabia and might have looked on Autotrader to see what was showing as the spec showing is a take from Skoda be that Press Releases, Brochures etc, as are Skoda Main Dealership Adverts or just sellers adverts. (Salespeople will use the terms that is in the Brochure or Configurator or on the Options list were there are Options'. With the vRS it said 'Front Fog Light's which the vRS did not get as OEM or an option. It says Sunset Glass as well, and that is the glass behind the B pillar. Maybe you have never been in a Mk2 vRS Fabia and looked at the screen or the rear view mirror. https://evo.co.uk/skoda/fabia-vrs Basically it takes all sorts. Sunset Strip means a part of Sunset Boulevard so maybe why that term is not used.

If you look at the first 6 months 2021 then you will see that Scalla,s delivered were 1/5th of Octavia's, then just a bit more than 1/3rd of Kamiqs. They were twice the amount of Enyaqs as the Enyaqs were starting to be produced. Scala deliveries might well be low if the demand so orders are low.

Please tell the Dealer Principal that there are staff that can be telling customers the wrong information on servicing. That can void a warranty. They are quick to try up-selling but should be actually trained on what is the vehicles recommended service requirements.

The post says a 2020 DSG 2.0 ltr. A specialist is not required to know that has a Wet Clutch DSG that requires OIl changes as the Dry Clutch DSG's are not fitted to 2.0 TSI or TDI's. The issue is that finding a Specialist or even someone with a knowledge of Skoda's at a Skoda Main Dealership is a lottery.

@sepulchraveGet a grip. I posted because the OP was asking a question with the correct term concerning the rear tint on Mk2 Fabia and getting given a bum steer. I do not know the percentage because i never measured it but had Fabias with the Sunset Glass and additional tint over and above the factory as did others. So basically Skoda call it Privacy Sunset Glass or Sunset Glass regardless of what you want to call it. The Top of the Screen when you need a new one with the tinted strip is Top Shade, Top Tint or some call it a Sunset Strip or top fade or what ever. Are you happy now?

They are wrong whoever they are and what ever their job is. It is not a dry box. There are no 2.0 TSI's or TDI's with a DQ200 7 speed Twin Dry Clutch DSG. There is DSG's that have a 80,000 recommended oil change rather than the 40,000. BUT, People are still getting them done at 40,000 miles. Re DQ200 DSG's, They are on cars with FWD and no more than 250Nm. So that is the likes of 1.0,1.2,1.4,1.5,1.8TSI;s or 1.2,1.4 or 1.6 TDI's.

Except the Skoda brochures call the Privacy glass 'Sunset Glass from the B Pillars back', not only with Mk2 Fabia. Sorry @joeskoda1i do not know the answer to your question. The Mk1 vRS Brochures also called it sunset glass which is why Wiki has that.

So left at 98% and 35 miles to Perth park and ride and it was and is torrential rain. Arrived with 78% and showing 105 mile range. Got on 1 rapid charger of 3 only 2 are in service. The 1st one had never been fixed in 18 months at least. 12 Tesla chargers unoccupied as usual. Not going to Edinburgh to cycle in this weather. So will hypermile when heading home. More down hill than up. Amazing but a Tesla turned up to use a Tesla charger. & the first Driving Instructors e-Corsa that i have come across. A nice man a very nice man. What is not surprising the out of order charger that has been for such a long time.

I am off down to Tesco for my paper and fruit so will plug in for 15 minutes and see what the battery % is after only 5 miles since yesterday. That used almost no energy as 2 1/2 miles was downhill and then back uphill. The battery can only take in a charge because of the loss since charged yesterday. It is nothing about what the guessometer shows as available miles. So i will be away to Edinburgh and charging in Perthshire before getting home. The car will do what ever miles per kWh today by how i drive it. After getting charged tonight to 98% before being parked up i will then see how much loss there is when parked up. I might leave it unused for 48 hours. EDIT. Battery was showing at 92% from 99% yesterday but less than 10 minutes on the 7kW charger and already at 95% and showing 136 miles range. I will unplug when that changes to 142 miles and see what % shows, likely 97 %. By the time I get to Perth in 30 miles it will be at 136 mile range showing and probably 95% battery.. 10 degrees C this. Morning.

Obviously a Remap adds no weight to a car and no matter what extra power you gain it makes no difference if you drive at the same speed as you do pre remap. If the brakes are not doing the job now when you have the accelerator at the floor and are constantly then braking well that is a different matter. If the car now does the job of slowing you and stopping you on UK roads at NSL's with 100ps then it will just the same with 130ps. But then if you are going to be going every place quicker and braking harder and more often then upgrading brakes is simply sensible. As might be tyres and suspension, but does the tyres and suspension let you down now when putting the accelerator to the floor to go as quick as the car can go with the power it has ? @VWD In the UK Mk2 Fabia 1.2, 1.2 TSI & 1.6 TDI Monte Carlo 2010-2014 and 60,70,75 or 105 ps came with rear drums. (People even tune them and do not do brake upgrades. Standard tyre fitment is 205/40 R17) Some Models like Greenline and others including vRS got rear discs. There were Mk3 Fabia that came with rear drums.

@kentdale If it is your Superb sport line plus 190 scr 4x4 dsg then it is not a DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG and it requires oil changes. (& your haldex does as well) PS 'Autohold' is a hold the car while stopped / stationary while driving system that holds the car with the engine running or stop / start having the engine stopped. So doing the same job as though your foot was on the brake pedal. It is not a hand brake / finger brake /parking brake, that is the e-Brakes job. the e-brake just puts the rear brakes on. The 'Autohold' has the 4 brakes functioning.

@nta16 Your time to edit a post on Briskoda is limited if you are not a Freedom member.

The factory management will be perfectly fine when a competent technician does their stuff. It might not even of been the Dealership workshop that did the clutch packs, many put them out to an auto specialist, like Parks Skoda who can even get in a new MCU and not fit and set and ruin it and try to charge the customer for their error. My buddy. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/444617-7sp-dq200-dsg-failure Once fixed i would want to keep a Skoda / VW Extended warranty on the already failed box by buying another. They can not say known issues as it has supposedly been repaired.

The OP's car has a fault/ issue, there is no need for the DQ200 to not change gear nicely and even get off from a standing start without slip or bogging, maybe just wheel spin. If the wheels spin and the TC is on then the power might cut.

@Ecomatt Not in my experience of driving various engine and DQ200 combination. A roll and boot it is preferable but not always what you are going to do. Never had one bog yet be it a lowly 1.2 or a 1.0, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8 or 1.4 or 1.6 TDI's. ? Do you actually drive and cars with a DQ200? We will not include Ferrari's. With a TMC Tuning box and a standard DQ200 DSG.

Just spotted this.
