The brake pedal is pushed by the human driving and the actuators hold the brake pressure. Big deal. The engine can be off. Good thing. If the driver's foot was on the brake pedal the brake lights would be on. Not all vehicles stopped and held by AUTOHOLD have the brake lights on. If last car in a line the driver might decide to put their foot 🦶 on the brake pedal. What it does is keep you alert with foot off the brake pedal and car not emitting emissions and ready to press the brake or accelerator. @KenONeill have you driven a car with AUTOHOLD available yet?.

@Joss1733 There is an article linked in this thread or one of the numerous delivery threads specifically about Skoda chips and a Skoda persons comments. Fabia using the least, but that is not clear if only as is with Mk3 Fabia Estates which they are still building and not the new Mk4 hatch which has more available tech than a Scalla or Kamiq will have. Maybe the Enyaq uses the most or could it be the Plug in Hybrids with lots of options ticked. Does it really matter as members and buyers are receiving various models and plenty were built and delivered in the first 7 months of 2021. http://whatcar.com/news/chip-shortage-delays-how-long-will-you-have-to-wait-for-a-new-car/n23449 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/features/computer-chip-shortage-affects-skoda-according-boss

VAG Owned. That can just be Volkswagen Finance, so Lease / Contract, or Ex Management, Courtesy Car, Loaner, Media car, generally anything from anyplace, driven by anyone. Even just a member of the VW Group or a Dealership member of staffs relative. The OP's car had the parts replaced. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/487625-skoda-approved-used-vehicle-check-anomolies The Checks pre Approved Skoda sale are supposed to be rigorous. They are financial, and then safety checks on a ramp if done, the car might not be driven more than on and off a transporter or around the dealership. Servicing certainly might not happen if the Service Interval has not past or is not near. So what if there was massive abuse before a pre used car is purchased, or just a driver heavy on the brake pedal? Real world is that some have Skodas where the discs do not last anything like that as they corrode so badly before a year has past. Commonly the pads which should maybe require 2 or 3 changes before the discs need replacing, the pads are supposed to be ones wearing soonest. So there is no accounting for how a car that was pre owned by who ever was driven for its early life. Demonstrator or courtesy car and then a fleet / lease vehicle, one registered keeper and various drivers. You are not getting a Manufacturers Warranty Claim settled unless there are Defects with the vehicle or components and they can clearly be demonstrated. Instead of general google searches on the life of discs and pads on various manufactures vehicles there is Briskoda where you can search UK drivers experiences with a Skoda in the UK.

@Joss1733It is the VW Group, VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Porsche, Bugatti Bentley and the bikes and lorries etc. Skoda sell just over 1 million vehicles globally at their best which is a 10th of what VW does. So dealers need cars but there are not that many Skoda dealers. VW sell as many Golf & Polo in the UK in a year as all the Skoda models combined sell in the UK. Lots are sold to VW Finance obviously so are first sold as Used cars to private owners at end of lease / contract.

Yes, Ebay , Amazon etc are your friends and Youtube and how to apply it in many applications.

Bl00dy scammers.

Lug nuts are wheel nuts, so best check the likes of Demon Tweaks or actual wheel retailers for wheel accessories and Bolts. @Carlstonmight be along and know exactly where to get some or just 15" wheels and narrow tyres with tall sidewalls for your car.

They have hundreds of cars in Dealerships owned by VW Group and surely their staff driving these Management cars (demonstrators) must notice some as faulty.

So that will be Anodised car wheel bolts. Then to suit VW Group in the size for your Fabia. Or you get the covers, or the ones you have, prime them with plastic primer & then paint. Thinly.

Do you want wheel bolts. Or the plastic covers for them? This is a weird thread, i just reported it for a move to General Maintenance or Skoda Audio & Electrical.

Try a google search with like coloured electrical lugs

One! Is she having a giraffe, how many have they actually carried out the work on, only 1?

@GUESTY Is that cable / wire connectors? or Lug Nuts or Ears. A Motor Factors, Ebay, Amazon or other retailers.

Not a bad idea before winter to see if the back wheels will come off if a wheel needs changed. So while doing that is done as well to remove the rear drums to give them a clean out and inspection. At that point as well to make any cable adjustment or replacement, grease etc. Not a problem with a Fabia really just Service & Maintenance and the kind of work that should help pay mechanics wages. Skoda take money for Major Services and do nothing etc like touch brakes, only look, even the brake fluid change costs, and that is @ 3 years and each 2, or at least check the Fluids H20 content.

The Dealership or the Warranty Provider does not have to prove anything. Those claiming do and the Dealership gets paid to do warranty work if approved, they are not paying. @5koda51mon When did you become aware the discs were 'warped' & at how many miles, was it just recently? SKODA_Warranty_Terms_November_2021.pdf

Maybe not 3,000 miles, Brakes that are Faulty because of Material / Manufacturing are covered longer than the 6 Months / 6,500 miles that some things are limited in the Manufacturers Warranty in the UK. She needs to go ask whoever she spoke to again if she said 3,000 miles. But wear and tear items are listed in the exclusions. SKODA_Warranty_Terms_November_2021.pdf

I bottled it a few times and backed off of loose climbs on shale or slate, but this has me feeling dizzy just watching.

GOOD NEWS. There are extremely good prices offered on going out of date Meal Deals so Sandwiches, Crisps & Softdrinks, also Yorkies. Sadly there is a Water shortage currently since it has been such a scorcher of a year due to Climate Change.

Senior Ministers are meeting this afternoon about no fuel shortages, from Cabinet Office, the Transport and Environment department heads etc. They might have to discuss was BP at it with a little ploy that CF Industries pulled that ended up with the Government gifting millions for them to fire up the Ammonia Plant, and then being able to bring in the product that was supposedly in short supply from the USA. The Senior Ministers and Department heads drivers were told to keep the engine ticking over while waiting as the UK had a C02 shortage or were kidded into thinking there could be so that the price could rise.

I attended anger management so no longer have the urge to kick in the Front Fog lights that some like to have on or upgraded headlights that are illegal, or the rear fog lights people think are needed on when in a line of traffic when the fog was yesterday or miles ago. I still do wash my windscreen when being tailgated though. You can not teach an old dog to stop old habits.

Likely it just needs a 12 year old with the skills to disable the Kodiaq brake lights when autohold is actuated.

@Routemaster1461 Do not take me seriously. In the threads where people are saying they are noticing a change i will be posting that i did at the weekend as well. My 10 year old Suzuki 1.6 N/A is loving more ethanol in the E10 95 ron just like my 1.4 TSI Twinchargers did with 99/ + Super Unleaded when there was any, bring it on. I want Greenergy to deliver E5 Tesco Momentum 99 or Esso Synergy 99 they distribute with the up to 5% ethanol. As it is most often it has where i buy it.

Banking is Bunkering, That is Storage of Vehicles until Certification Approved or Completion of Build. Sat at an Airport or Multi Story car park etc. Like at WLTP time 2 years back.

There are those that needed their Salary / Benefits paid and have their Airbnb, Glamping, Festival, Protest, Holiday. work plans already and need fuel. Very soon Grant Shapps or another Minister will make their announcement on the supply of fuel to Emergency Workers / Vehicles, Prescribed, Essential /Priority Workers getting fuel. The Stations used for supplying their fuel will need to hold on to stock. Boris might as well call off his trip to the country retreat this weekend. eg, Contingency plan for Fuel Shortages, but there is no fuel shortage, just panic buying. business-continuity-plan-fuel-nov2008.pdf Fuel-Shortage-Plan.pdf

Well if it was 1.5% as some are saying, as RAC / AA sites even mention, then yes that would require buying 1.5% more fuel, or pumping up your tyres, slowing down a bit, or driving less. Even putting the car on a diet and the passengers.
