Hopefully someone here will have what they received. The Dealership sold you it and they were the ones that had to give you the T&C's, unless they were trying mis-selling. Some plans are 2 services on Fixed Service Intervals and that used to be called a Minor & Major & the owner gets a surprise because the Sales Executive never explained that. Hopefully yours is a 2nd year and 4th year service, but i would want @ 1 year and then @ 3 years, so before the Warranty Expires or the MOT is due. Best find out for certain what your Service Package includes and when.

It can only affect vehicles with the systems installed, so many of the 30 million plus UK vehicles still without the new tech will be trucking about for a few more decades.

Good. that will be useful, i still charge at Hermiston at the Park & Ride if not occupied by a hybrid taxi that fancies 90 minutes on the Rapid, so not near the retail park or handy for toilets. @domhnall Has any construction been done so near being switched on? I have a wedding to attend late October and running about to do over a few days so would be more than happy to get proper quick charging.

It is 24 months or 18,000-20,000 which ever comes sooner and how the car is used can have the oil and filter change coming up sooner, your look as being good all the way to 24 months on 19,000 plus miles. First Service not due. They must have forgot to take the Michael and move your Service from Flexible / variable to fixed as so often gets done to help their business model.

The UK Government can be trusted to have a fully operational system in place so that convoys of driver less HGV's other than in the lead unit can travel the roads with complete safety. Giving empty lanes and junctions as they bring all other traffic to a halt in the inside lanes as they barrel along past delivering urgent goods to London. 5G and even 6G technology all over the UK which still does not have overall GPS coverage or even digital radio reception.

The OP's car is rather different from other small TSI's with s DSG like a 1.0 or 1.4 as in that the 1.5TSI has ACT. Then later ones can be different from earlier ones.

Only heard back from the AC Branch asking me to book in for the Recall. So that will be when hell freezes over that it goes into them. Good to see someone doing miles in a e-Corsa. Stuff driving in ECO mode but each to their own. It has never helped by get more range. Actually less than when in Normal or Sport. The message if he read it when he selected ECO would have told him that the Climate / AC would be restricted. He was using 80 PS Mode. He would need to shift to B to get more regen. He was in the standard regen.

As long as they build it and the chips are available for your car while thousands are awaiting theirs.

Vids from 2019.

Plenty show on ebay. Getting good ones is something different, but if you can and it goes in and all is well you are laughing, if it has to come out and the seller honours the guarantee and they provides another one then more labour, but it is only money. Preventative Maintenance can cost less, like if the timing chain is pre upgrade then maybe seriously consider having your own engine done and not waiting until you need another engine and having to do a timing chain on it.

EV's are coming with all the gear and drivers really need to read manuals and get very familiar via social media / youtube or trial and error to use it safely. Some of the stuff is only half cooked and a bit of a PITA on UK roads due to road types and markings. Lots of the stuff is there early on vehicles because of upcoming regulations / legislation and is using Owners / Drivers as road test dummies. VW Group seem to have some 'Safety Features' due to be mandatory that they have not got working very well or safely and looking at the Octavia Mk2 Section & the Superb Section might show examples of that. They are actually sitting with peoples cars not safe to be on the road and meanwhile they owners / drivers have Loaners.

Any links or leads to sellers of good Euro 5 or even Euro 6 1.2 TSI's in the £500 - £900 range from trusted sellers that have a warranty might well be of interest to people. Post 2011 makes sense, or Rebuilt / Refurbished ones.

@Kenny Rposted this in the Enayq section thread on Delivery times, from the Skoda UK website.

New drivers will get in new cars from next year and all the new mandatory kit will just be what they grow used to. As it is the UK NSL for passenger cars is 60 MPH, and max permissable on the roads with 70 limits is just that, same for motorbikes. Plenty cars and vehicles pre 2022 type approval for those that do not want the latest stuff. Taxed by miles driven or parked on public roads must come to the UK eventually but then it will be decades before the government's clear the roads of vehicles registered up to 2021 no matter how they try pricing them off the roads, or by MOT,s being stricter. Vehicles are on the roads nowbwith out of date airbags that might well not function.

As the owners manual says, May use more oil in the first 5,000 km. so now the car has done over 7,600 km. So checking oil with VW Group Engines is something needed, especially when collected new or after services as below the correct level is not unusual. & the cold checks are good to see if there is oil, but the checks should be done with the oil at operating temp. So that needs done now with the VW 508 00 oil you have used put in. That is 0w 20 FS IV, and not VW 504 00, 5w 30 FS III PS Forget about the past and TSI's and TDI's that were before the WLTP / RDE and VW Group going to 0w 20 FS IV, Plenty 'Burning Oil' threads in the sections over the past 3 years for Kodiaq, Karoq, Octavia and Superb were owners never checked the oil in a 1.5 TSI. There is not a problem, just the need to maybe top up oil early on depending on how the vehicle is used, do not wait for warning lights or messages.

So sad watching Ant last night. I wanted to love it. They are going to drag out that programmes as long as they can 'American TV style', repeat bits over and over again . Not so sure that chassis is an original and had not already been replaced. Experts will be able to tell.

Touch the brake or touch the accelerator and you are back in D, and out of coasting mode. Coasting is perfect for Scotland, it can increase the range of your tank and decrease the fuel consumption. Get up the hills and come down are run on slight decline with the DSG gear indicator showing 'D', it is a DSG and if you want to drop a gear or 2 then use the shifter or paddles, that is what they are for. I did not have a Kodiaq but a 2016 2.0 TDI SCR DSG which had a 63 litre capacity tank. 630 miles from a tank with 50-60 mile range left before brimming was normal and when coasting mode was used on the likes of the A9, A93 or A939 over the Cairngorms then high 600's -700 miles plus was usual. Coasting enabled and toe off the accelerator if not required, and you got places just as quick as you do without enabling coasting and less fuel would be used. My Alhambra did not have a ECO mode and Coasting could be enabled in the menu. (Vehicles that only having 'Coasting' when in ECO are a PITA IME.) The longer i had the car the better i got at getting great economy on trips when using Coasting and sticking to speed limits, or maybe going a ickle bit quicker. 6 points gained in 3 years. I had winter tyres fitted all year for 3 years. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/437857-making-the-most-of-eco-and-coasting http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/475731-amazing-mpg http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/470440-coasting-to-save-fuel Perfect roads can be perfect for coasting with toe off the accelerator.

It is a stretched version of the Polo & Ibiza chassis, a longer wheel base than those, even longer than a Mk8 Golf, and in that same class size wise.

I find that nose out of one lane in front and arse out of the other behind with my lights on works best.

Just for @Lady Elanore Ant Anstead Master Mechanic. on Quest tonight, 10 -10.30 pm & 10.30 - 11 pm.

There are 4 Perth Main Dealerships in Scotland. None show a 350kWh charger. The Ionity 350kWh charger in Perth is less than a mile away though, and the other is in Gretna Green. A new Ionity charger is going in at Polmadie near Glasgow. (Near Hampden Stadium) Pinched from a website post.

Real world if you drive in this part of Norway in a biggish family car all alone.

The important bit might well be that City traffic, gridlock traffic is crawling along and stopped lots so turbos are not what matters for economy or emissions. Stopping them being there is how it is going. Stop start has its place but in cold conditions many vehicles in gridlock traffic will just have engined idling. Too many large people carriers with just a person in. Smaller lighter N/A vehicles might well be more fuel efficient. But then the WLTP is not testing in that circumstance. Turbos in diesels and petrols are here to stay but there were non turbo cars certified for the WLTP and RDE quicker than some manufacturers Turbo engines. The manufacturer's had to go and mess up the good behaviour of the engined to get the low figures required. Eg VW group. A 1.0 Citigo would do good economy from cold starts and driven at slower speeds. You would need to do side by side testing with a 1.0 TSI Up!. That would be apples and pears. EV,s will take years to be the vehicle of choice for many but Mild Hybrids or plug ins can work well as long as it is not the ICE powering them along commuter traffic, holiday traffic, gridlock situations. Once the new regs come in next year then there should be able to have traffic that gets government grants or tax breaks because they can emit low emissions to actually be emitting them.
