'Shouldn't , couldn't. wouldn't be an issue. But can be and has been with some cars and you know with some cars when you release the footbrake or autohold and it then goes with a movement onto the pawl that it might be.

Sadly you can not count of Skoda UK / VW UK smiling on you or actual goodwill. There have been the various Skoda Brand Directors in the UK since 2010 and 3 of them were in charge of VW Warranties in their career, @ Bentley, Skoda & VW as well as for the VW Group. It became more hardball from one to the next and yet with a good Solicitor and Trading Standards you could get them to do the right thing eventually. Now you can be peeing in the wind with Skoda UK. They have the default position of saying no these days then it is each owner fighting for the right to party. They have a mission, to increase profitability. Pity their mission is not to reduce lemons imported and sold and warranty claims by customers that get landed with one. Earning a reputation deserved for reliability would be a real achievement. VW put in front men and women and some have no knowledge of the product before getting the gig and others have loads, but it is the VW way, deaf, dumb and blind. Alasdair Stewart at least knew right from wrong with Fundamental design, manufacturing and material failings. After him came the puppets.

If not heading to Continental Europe or elsewhere with your EV it will make no difference if the UK Chancellor helps more buyers or manufacturers with 100 mph as a max performance vehicles purchase or production. If UK Business Users or those wanting tax payer help with getting EV's for actual business use there could be an unladen weight and performance limit put on the passenger cars if they are not going to be towing in the UK or carrying goods. Limiting or make restrictions on the cost of the vehicles is not going to be putting lots of people off buying or leasing, but requiring efficiency of energy use and restricting the acceleration and max speed might mean more spend their own money and without getting the tax breaks. There are really too many fat heavy EV's about already and more being launched and Journalist complaining that they feel cheap or have scratchy materials. If the platform materials can be lighter and the batteries heavier to give more range that can get more EV's using roads and not needing the chargers out and about that are not yet available in enough numbers or locations.

All you can assume is that they have the DSG that starts with e- before the code. e-DQ200, e-DQ400 etc. To suit the 1.0 & 1.5 TSI Mild hybrids then the ones to suit the Plug in Hybrids.

Best tow a trailer tent or caravan or fit a roof tent for accommodation as your queue to depart the UK and then return incase you are there a good while. You will eventually get away and get back in regardless of it being after the 31st December 2020. The UK left the EU Club, but then there is a world wide pandemic which is not Brexit related. Those travelling into the UK might consider doing the same after the transition period is over but there is still Covid 19 about.

Handy that the Steering Assist can be changed from the factory setting to give more assist or less assist as required as long as you can plug in and make that change. Brake Assist can be changed as can XDS / XDS+. Some do this as they change the tyres width or to suit winter driving by maybe reducing the Steering Assistance.

@Koreenium Higher octane or winter fuel might have made no difference but you are the one that mentioned fuel and the car behaving differently now and you might use fuel from somewhere else. It is usefully IMO that you actually have some idea what you are actually buying and using when a car is having issues like starting and running. PS In the UK Super Unleaded has not been sold at 98 ron for a good few years. There is 95 Unleaded, then Super Unleaded, but it is 97 ron minimum other than the 99 ron minimum sold by Tesco as Momentum 99. Esso Synergy Supreme 99 or Shell V-Power Nitro+. VW Group in the UK might well not be aware as they never changed their website. http://volkswagen.co.uk/need-help/need-help-faqs/fuel

You simply buy a Skoda extended warranty as the car has no known issues after a Skoda Approved Repairer has fixed it. As it is there are people / members that had DQ200 DSG,s replaced while in manufacturers warranty and asked for and got an extended warranty as part of the agreement. The difference being the DQ200 had known potential issues and VW Group might or might not had them as part of the 2 service campaigns covering them and still were having premature failures. Also other world regions had Warranty extensions given.

TESLA would need to get their act together really or it would still be the blind leading the blind, and deaf and dumb. So much needs changing and the article in Autocar about Volvo hits the nail on the head. EV do need to be different in design from ICE cars. Also for UK vehicles range needs a priority over top speed and acceleration.

VW are unreal. Shameless infact. First they need to get their Software sorted on the cars already being delivered to customers, be that with the ID.3 or the Hybrids and ICE vehicles. Stop the kidology of WLTP figures with Hybrids and the range when using electricity. Then get out the ID.4 and Enyaq with no snagging faults. Maybe produce and deliver the ID.Buzz that they have been teasing with for years now. 'Autocar' / Haymarket Media Group' should be asking questions of VW Bosses and their tech and what they actually are selling customers now rather than just being Fanboys and publishing what ever VW Group tell them. *VW Group are putting out vehicles now to get them registered and lower the C02 g/km average even though all functions are not available on the vehicles.*

Welcome to the forum. @silver1011has a roofbox on his Kodiaq, no idea what type but maybe he can say.

Comparing apples and pears then as the OP has a DSG.

A good place to sell car and Skoda related stuff is on a car forum, and surprisingly a very good place is BRISKODA. Not expensive and those looking there quite often know what the want and what things are worth.

It will be good to know once there are members driving them that can say how far they go from a full charge in the real world of the UK at whatever temps. It would be really good if Magazine Motoring Journalists also drove them and paid attention and put it in print. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/487433-supern-iv-improving-battery-performance

Temperature related as in not only the Ambient temp but the temp asked for the interior. If set 16 degrees higher than the outside temp Stop / Start may not operate.

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully Superb owners or past owners will be along to help. ? What engine / gearbox has the car you are looking at?

It has been this way for over a decade and something owners should remind Skoda UK about and their Resolution managers and before it ever gets to that the Dealership managers and Area Warranty managers. It is mis-advertising by Skoda UK and they know it is. All there for Trading Standards or any solicitor to see.

Welcome to the forum. Very unfortunate. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/487699-dsg-failed-at-30k

@Hudson1 Where are you seeing in the press that mk4 Fabia will have a 1.5 TSI engine as a choice? The articles say 'expect to see it with a 3 cylinder engine with or without a turbocharging. Manual and DSG transmissions are on the menu, while a hybrid powertrain has allegedly been ruled out'. No mention of 4 cylinder engines or ACT. As it is 1.0 tsi & 1.5 tsi are going mild hybrid if they have a DSG, so odd that a Fabia could get low enough emissions with a 1.0TSI DSG without being a mild hybrid.

No point 'Inspecting bodywork' unless then noting and reporting damage that might void the corrorsion warranty, also bringing that to the person paying for the services attention.

The Body & Glass inspection was shown on the Skoda Websites as a Service Action up till January this year. It was on the page after the Services for each 2nd service when there were service books. Dealerships were quoting £100 for Body Inspections when vehicles were not getting Dealership Servicing a few years back. As it is the Paint and more importantly the corrosion warranty Skoda / VW Group Manufacturers do not even mention, annual, bi-annual or regular Inspections to have a valid Manufacturers Warranty. It is only Skoda UK that says there is no record of inspections being carried out. SKODA_Warranty_Terms_August_2018_New_Car-1.pdf

^^^ That would have been 2 simply clever for the UK. A Green Plate might show others that a vehicle can be in a bus lane, restricted areas etc but ANPR is still needed to check a vehicles class. That is for the vehicles that are allowed because they are 'zero emissions' and the Green Flash Plates are not going to be compulsory. I have had 'Traffic / Street wardens' checking out my car closely to see i had not stuck the charger in the fuel filler. One warden actually told me i had as he was preparing a ticket at a car park with chargers and free parking for EV's but a ticket machine for the other spaces.

? So was the use of 'Offroad mode' actually required rather than just choosing a lower gear and using the brakes if the tyres had traction?
