@JR RS Sorry but where did the number '4psi or more' come from if not 'plucked'? (that has me thinking about the pheasant pluckers daughter.) Sometimes the figure given by 'Publications' is that it is a drop of 25% that manufacturers have a warning given with their vehicles, that is a nonsense though. I have seen a low profile tyre like 205/40 R 17 give a warning when set at 33psi and lose 3 psi. Or even lose no pressure but give a warning hitting a bump in the road. I think most people here drive cars or vehicles and know what the TPMS's are. Most will have vehicles and drive them or work on them. The OP has said that there is a bit of pressure loss of 1 or 2 psi. If they are setting the pressures accurately & measuring a loss of pressure accurately then best see why any pressure is lost in a short time. A 1psi drop for a 10*oC drop in ground / ambient temp is about right. Tyre 'Experts' say a 1.5 PSI drop a month can be normal with car tyres. Well maybe that is for some, or was. It is not the kind of loss i have seen with tyres in the past 5 decades. Some might have experienced a warning where the pressures checked cold were OK & as they had been set but there was a TPMS warning. A binding brake or bearing on its way out can cause a wheel to heat and the tyre to overheat and the pressure to increase. Take a car to the track and see how one front tyre might start to heat and and if there is a TPMS set there can be a warning.

No matter on anyone's opinion on Lane Keeping Assist being un-necessary it is away to be compulsory to be on new cars along with other features. So people that do not like it or want it will need to keep switching it off, and if it is faulty keep reporting that to the manufacturers.

So easy to just put on the side / position lights and dipped headlights and drive about in daytime / daylight and not annoy anyone.

It is not illegal in the UK to not have the Daytime / Daylight Running lights operating during Daytime / Daylight. The law when introduced required them to be fitted at the Factory.

Sorry i had no idea you already had a vRS. I thought you were just thinking on getting one and changing it to a manual box. The Elegance 1.6 TDI to the left was what i was looking at. I have no idea what the Golf Manual box was or if you would find one.

That would be a terrible one to go for. They were a disaster for timing chain issues. Are you not best getting a 2 litre diesel engines and fitting that to the car you already have like @AMD87did. Maybe just making less power than his. Or mod your 1.6 TDI. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/276524-big-turbo-mk2-vrs-rep-970117-update

@JR RS That 4 psi might be true of your TPMS and your cars, but it is not true with all Skoda Models and different tyres / brands / compounds / sidewalls be they XL (Reinforced or not.) Easy enough to check for anyone that want to inflate their tyres, reset the TPMS and let it set / settle and later let out 3 psi from a tyre.

I have one of these gauges as well & had it for years. They are accurate. I use them when checking Motor Bike & Push Bike tyres when they have a Schrader Valve. I often use a Pushbike high pressure track pump with a gauge to check car / 4x4 tyre pressures and put some air in rather than a foot pump. (Because i only have one foot and foot pumps are like pedal bins, something i do not use.)

No manual VW Polo GTI 1.4 TSI Twinchargers. with the Polo Mk4 , 9N. Or DSG's. 2001-2009. Or manuals with the Polo GTI when introduced in 2010, the Type 6R 2009-2014

The servicing was called, Minor & Major, and this was Major each 2 years / 18,000 - 20,000 miles. Then that changed to Skoda calling it Interim & Major if Fixed Services. Changed again to Oil & Inspection Services and each 3 years Extended Scope. This is what they now show for cars on Fixed Service Intervals '9,400 miles / 372 days' which ever comes first. That is showing for car 3-10 year old on the Fixed Price Servicing & Maintenance at participating dealers. You can get stuff done cheaper.

Euro5 is 2009/10 - 2015. Euro 6 the end 2015 and by 2016. The Emission Scandal involved Euro 5 TDI's.

If you are meaning older than 2010 then yes 1.4 TSI's had timing chain issues. The 1.4 TSI Euro 5 140 / 150 ps engines are good and euro 6 with ACT or without. The Octavia 1.4TSI with the DSG is good but then many will swear by their manual.

^^^ The charging information is great, 10%-80% etc, and slowing as the battery becomes more full etc etc. Important to many doing trips where you need to stretch range, like maybe charging and going into areas without charging available is 50% to 98% charging speed at 50kw or 100kw. Arriving with a hot battery and plugging in and getting the car 'topped up' and having as much range as you might need because you might not get a charger available for hours. For many that is real world driving and charging, and going down to 10-20% and then just Rapid Charging to 80% might be OK much of the time but not all the time.

@Jo_ansisWill you really be fitting Offroad Tyres, or maybe will it be All Terrain Tyres? You had best be sure you are going with a wheel size that will allow suitable tyres for towing out of muddy fields. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/470122-off-road-tyres

Welcome. What you are looking at is a pretty reliable engine. Is it a Manual or a DSG? Not that old though if from 2010. ? What does the Full Service History Show, is it showing not everything done to the Manufacturers Guidelines or everything strictly carried out. Over 9 years how often was the oil and filter changed, the spark plugs, the brake fluid etc. Or is it just showing that the car had services? Older Skoda can be very reliable. as in pre Euro 4 emissions ones. Then there are Euro 5 emissions from 2010 that are like a 1.4 TSI, that is with the Turbo & as in the Octavia, Superb, Yeti, but not the 1.4 TSI Twincharger in the Fabia Mk2 vRS. 1.2 TSI's 2010-2012 can have timing chain tensioner issues 2010-2011/12. There is the DQ200 DSG's to be considered and the various Service Campaigns / World Wide Recalls excluding Europe. Then with TDI's there was the Emissions Cheat and some cars that have had The Fix. Euro 5 cars. Also DPF issues to be considered.

A Clean Air Scheme & charging to be allowed to emit high emissions has began for some high polluting vehicles in Bath. http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-56394921

I think the whole reason behind the DSG only was emissions for going to Euro 5 and the hike from 125ps & 150/160 ps to 180/185 ps. The DQ200 is 7 speed in D, but 6 Speed in S. Some early standard cars do go into 7 S under load and on full throttle at around 127 mph. The Ibiza, Fabia, Polo & A1 had the 1.4 TSI / TFSI 132-136kW Twincharger with just a DQ200 DSG from 2009-2014. The Ibiza had 150 ps or 180ps but both had the DSG. Then as there was a slight change / update of the platform the Polo GTI in 2014/15 got the 1.8 TSI (192ps) with a DSG and 250 Nm & the Manual with 320Nm. In 2014 the Audi A1 got a 2 litre petrol engine and Quarto to have a S1 for homologation. http://autoexpress.co.uk/audi/s1/86199/audi-s1-2014-review

There were / are manual 160ps 1.4 TSI Twincharger Golfs. Let us know how you get on with it. A member is breaking a Mk2 Fabia vRS, but that is maybe done now. Make sure you start with a good engine unless you are rebuilding that.

It would be good if you are checking the tyre pressures cold and setting the TPMS if there was no pressure loss. Is it one tyre that has a 1 or 2 psi drop? Is it the valve, bead or really nothing causing that. There should not be a pressure drop really if you are checking tyres cold at about the same ambient temp.
