PS Is it the Yellow Oil Can / Low oil warning, not the Red Oil Can, low oil pressure. Be aware that if you have a Oil Warning light and open the bonnet then the light goes off for about 60 miles. You still have low oil though. If there is a sensor fault or issue then hopefully someone will be along to give advice / help.

Get the oil to area A then. ? What oil did you use and how much went in? Was it VW504 00 / 507 00, so 5w 30 FS III? Were you checking the oil cold on the flat this morning. That is good to know there is oil, but you need to check it at operating temperature. Not Warm as some Skoda owners manuals say. So once the oil has got to 80*oC indicated or more towards 90*oC. (You can never be sure the correct dip stick is on the car, unusual but not rare.)

You started right with an estate with the longer roof. Add very little extra crap. Just add lightness so strip the car including wipers. Narrow wheels / tyres, underbody smoothed and always drive where you have a tail wind or it is downhill. If not draft a vehicle uphill that might help.

@Chriskoda2010 Good that you did it before the Warranty Expired and you are still covered if they did it wrong and have to do it right. Better still if you paid anything towards it. The reason it is not normal is because there are Clutch Slip issues and there are TPI's covering them. Not only Mk3 Fabia, it covers various models in the VW Group. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/439395-the-story-of-the-famous-dq200-clutch-slip/page/15 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/439395-the-story-of-the-famous-dq200-clutch-slip/page/9 PS As far as not being able to not just floor them in S. What tosh, you can put the TC / ASR off and with good tyres and grip absolutely floor them. As many do that do to the 1/4 mile strip with a car with a DQ200.

@Chriskoda2010 It would be handy to post the whole story in the first post. What engine is this DSG fitted to. What year of car and why the clutch pack needed replaced. How many miles has the car done. If it is from 2013-2015 was it one that require Service Campaign '34H5' which was a Software Update called in 2017? That was done because of possible failures due to heat / pressure and leaks that could occur.

There are hot days oop north and wet and hot or cold and wet days. Primacy 4 are not much better than Primacy 3. There are people that say they have no issues. I have driven with both on Hybrids & EV's and ICE vehicles with the tyres well scrubbed in and really they are garbage when moisture is on roads. They are ECO tyres because the lack of Grip / Friction so that means traction. You just have to see how often TC / ASR lights flash or power is cut with a car with these tyres, then not when they are changed. Too many cars do have them at too high a pressure, like demonstrators / courtesy or hire cars. PS My CrossClimate SUV's are crap on my Shogun, that is on wet, cold and snow. I have liked CrossClimates and used them lots for putting them on was a mistake on it. (CrossClimate 2's are VG.) They are wide though even though narrower than the OEM size. 265/60 R 18 instead of 285's. They are only for road & some farm / forest track use. I should have fitted BFG All Terrains.

If it is the Master Technician says that is how it is supposed to be then strange there are millions around not like that. Best get the car back to them to have the fault fixed. How old is your car and how many miles on it, and how much were you charged for the job? 2 years warranty on their work / part i hope.

@smipx Primacy 4 can actually be worse than Turanza's. The Mitchelin Primacy 4's are on EV's to help get range. They are just garbage. Which is why i have 4 take off's with less than 100 miles on them, they were removed the 2nd day i had my new car and on went CrossClimates. Then when the proper snow came i put on Alpin6's which have stayed on ever since and have been great.

Best have whoever did the work sort it out if they have all the gear and more than just an idea. Or is it yourself that did the job? ? So what have you, a DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG or s wet clutch DSG?

So colder weather this week for 3 days & night time. (only 1 frost though.) My local authority are now charging 23 pence a kWh to charge. This week i have only done 19 miles locally from being charged on Sunday night until now. 3-6 miles a day and sitting doing nothing the rest of time. So 26 kWh required to be sitting charged to where i was on Sunday night. That is a lot of loss of kW from the battery per 24 hours. That is OK at free as i have charged at Tesco. If i had a Off peak 5 pence tariff then £1.30 would be much cheapness. If on my home tariff of 18 pence that would be £4.68 & if at 23 pence on the Public Chargers that is £5.98 So basically if public charging the electric & paying for the charger it can be cheaper to run just to the shops or short runs than a gas guzzler but not as cheap as an efficient ICE that can maybe get 10 miles per litre of fuel. (45 mpg ish.) My Auto Picanto used to get 42 mpg with similar use & that was over about 7 years. My Auto Jimny's never bettered 25 mpg over 17 years. Tesco 7kW free charging.

Without humour bypasses Skoda CZ being simply clever know that it is a feature not required for cars that are being delivered with right hand drive.

Welcome to the forum. You will find several threads around the forum with the SOS issue. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/491089-sos-error-message/page/3

@J.R. I bet it is brilliant at what it was built to actually do. My one drove perfectly well on road, but it was not on Portal Axles, it went places the RR Bobtails on Portals did though.

@smipx Actually no. Seriously some of those fast foot fitters and dancing chancers would not put a year or 3 old rear tyres on to the front of their own pride and joy. I have driven enough cars that were just terrible having had some muppet that says the new tyres must go on the rears. But then i have driven FWD cars lots over periods of winter with just the All Seasons or Winters on the front while a good tread summer tyre was still on the rear. I do not care what 'apparently' others say. It is easy enough when you are driving long enough where there is winter conditions to know what does work or what does not. There can be times when it is enough that the tyres are good at both ends. Some are OK with getting traction, steering, braking and full control. Matching tyres is sensible, but then plenty cars and especially RWD's might not have matching widths / sizes front and rear, Even some FWD's or AWD's like Audi.

& the issue is the rear tyres with plenty tread that never were changed rear to front and have spent their life on the rear while the fronts were wearing can be total crap if moved to the front. They look good but have take a shape that suits the rear. Put them to the front and the steering feels crap because it is crap with these tyres that are fine while at the rear and ditch finder once doing steering and braking duties. The thing is that it is easy to find if this is my internet myth. Just do it and see. You find out if the case or not.

Skoda UK should certainly know if your car was in for 34F7 so the oil changed and the software update sometime from early 2014. Or if it was one they oddly said was not part of the Service Campaign. Some people just never had it done. It used to not appear on here then it did start to if outstanding. http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

It is obvious in the 2nd half of the year if they are only going to be able to build / complete half the vehicles they would want to then they are not going to send out ones that would bring the Average C02 emissions of vehicles first registered to a figure that would mean Fines imposed for going over the figure they need to meet, be that Skoda or the VW Group. If they can get the ones with lower emissions out to get the average low they will. (They can not just leave it to MG Motors to get the average down for them.) They are not total idiots. https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-releases/strong-first-half-of-the-year-skoda-auto-significantly-increases-operating-profit-and-revenue They need to complete builds, sell the product, receive in money as that is the business they are in, but not having to pay millions or billions in penalties if they can control 'First Registrations' to suit the dates / timeline. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vw-faces-eu-fine-missing-2020-emissions-targets https://autovista24.autovistagroup.com/news/vw-group-and-jlr-face-fines-exceeding-2020-eu-emissions-targets

VW 508 00 / 509 00 so 0w 20 FS IV is the oil used from the factory & the recommended oil and it is Long Life oil for Fixed or Variable (long Interval) Servicing. The TSI engines in a Plug In Hybrid that VW Group have as requiring 'Fixed Oil & Filter changes, by miles or days can use VW 504 000 / 507 000, so 5w 30 or 0w 30 FS III. Not that Dealerships are going to be saying that. A 1st year Oil & Filter & Inspection service can be a good earner for main dealerships and really over priced considering that is the VW Group / SKoda recommendation to be on Fixed Servicing.

So you need to be sure the right amount goes back in. Maybe best drain it and replace. Has it had 34F7 done so the factory Synthetic oil changed to mineral since 2014? Is there a sticker in the boot? @krigl shows you how to top to top it up here. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/439395-the-story-of-the-famous-dq200-clutch-slip/page/11

ATS Euromaster are owned by Michelin just as BlackCircle as previously posted.

Ok. So is that an answer they gave you from the technical department via a Communications manager or Kate Laws senior resolutions manager? Funny that they know nothing. It is like their memories are wiped at the end of a shift.

It will be good to know what Skoda UK & Skoda Main Dealers think is the correct price to charge for Servicing the EV's to Manufacturers Recommendations. Surely by now there must be a price that Dealerships can quote. ? Does the Warranty read the same as for other Skoda Models? SKODA_Warranty_Terms_November_2021.pdf

Was it SKODA UK or CZ that were not aware? Who was it, an engineer, senior management or the CEO? Or was it some muppet at a Dealership who must never drive their products? Funnily they never know about stuff, yet 'They all do that', or Never heard of it before.
