  1. Do you really need to be changing the oil @ 10,000 km, as 15,000 km / 9,400 miles would be fine with or annually without long life oil. Is it VW502 00 5w 40 FS you use or VW 504 00 / 507 00, 5w 30 FS III ? Is it E5 95 ron petrol you use, & is there a nice clean air filter fitted?
  2. @MoSalah Your 2014 DSG did not come from the factory with the oil that those 2009-2012 that was the reason for the World Wide Recall. Not the same oils as other DSG,s and the Wet Clutch ones have the same oil serving the MCU not like the DQ200 with 2 oils.
  3. From the Tilly Butcher. The Steak & black pudding, a Game Pie & Chicken white sauce and bacon. Standard Sausage roll & a Roasted Black Garlic & Jim Beam Sausage roll
  4. £11.96 it was for that 54 miles and that was not back to 100%. The next 50 miles took me to 50% battery from 98% and I am charging free just now on a 11kW AC charger. So that might be 30 free gratis when done.
  5. Actually plus another £2 to get to 98%>.
  6. Windy and cold and drizzle. Started off with 100% and 100 mile range. Onto dual carriageway and 54 miles in 56 minutes. Diversion Route into Aberdeen busy. Down to 44% battery so headed for nearest PodPoint at LIDL rather than a MFG or hopeless council chargers. PodPoint 65 pence a kWh. I will go to 98%. MFG are 75 pence and Council if I get one working 47 pence. I will have to charge again before heading back south so maybe another PodPoint at Tesco's 62 pence a kWh without needing to be back into Aberdeen. Running a diesel would be cheaper as I only have around 90 miles from my home 22 kWh tariff. Planned journeys with a small battery can often need changed because of road closures etc. now going to be where I was going first 40 mins later than planned but now no going to panic about chargers for another 90 miles and when I have plenty time to charge. Edit. 15.13 kWh cost £9.84 and my £10 top up to my account was not through so charging stopped. Now started charging again to 98%. Does not look like going to be getting warmer today but I will be on slower back roads. Bl00dy expensive so far £9.84 for only 54 miles driven. That was CC on and car at Green + so no heating on. Green, mid or sport and heating at 16,*oC would have reduced the range by maybe only 5 miles but today I wanted to see the best range and it turns out it is crap.
  7. POWER STATIONS, Coal fired, Oil fired. Where did cities get their electricity? & then Town Gas. Fire Places. How did the Millions in London get energy and heat? & maybe look at Edinburgh back in the first half of the last century. Auld Reekie. Blackened Buildings. yet there were Electric Milk floats with Tam Connery and his like out and about and filthy filthy busses. Lots of coal being burned in power stations, homes and factories, hospitals etc. Many now no longer here to remember those good old days as they are dead, and not from old age.
  8. When these Local Authority / council flats were Edinburgh Corporations & this was communal ground around them in most cases and dry greens around the back. There was often Land Grabbing, and gardens created, and looked after or not looked after by tenants and things evolved. When the different flats were bought how the land shows as far as allocated to each privately property then who knows.
  9. If it is 4 or 5 which it can be that does not necessary mean no. 1 is required. There are repair / upgrade kits. (there are 2 Gearbox oils, in the box and in the MCU. The MCU leaks were the reason for the Recall Actions.) Hold on and see if the Techs that know about this are able to post later.
  10. @MoSalah There was a Campaign or Recall, i know because a member from Egypt had that on a DQ200 DSG. Actually there were a couple of different software updates and the TPI numbers posted for Egypt, Israel, and UAE as far as i remember. Is it Skoda / VW Egypt that says there was not a Service Campaign or Recall action? Best get that in writing from them. ? Why not go see a Automatic Gearbox Specialist? @ApertureS or @Crasher might see this and be able to advise on the codes / issue.
  11. @MoSalah Welcome. How many miles / km has your car done. Is it a 1.4 TSI with a DQ200 7 speed Twin Dry Clutch DSG, & which country are you in? ? If a DQ200 DSG is there any record of the Service Campaign '34H5' having been carried out since 2017? A software update, preventative because of possible leaks from high pressure / temperatures. Recalls in Australia, New Zealand and other world regions. Service Campaign only in Europe / EU. Many never done. Not all 2013-2015 did need doing supposedly. eg. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/512772-dsg7-recall-advice-accumulator-component More than just a Software Update here. Back in 2012 the World Wide Recall excluded Europe / EU / UK and that was '34F7' Synthetic Oil changed to Mineral Oil, & a software update. In New Zealand all vehicles with a DQ200 got new MCU,s fitted. Eventually in 2014 in Europe a service campaign was started on cars / vans 2009-2012.
  12. Not really if they are not there. Nor the slabs that have to be removed, as the picture might be prior to completion of the installation. Was the gentleman maybe going to be advertising it as an AirBnB or rental property with off street parking, or just a long term rental, or even just rent out the parking with chargers rather then being his residence? Bins not obstructing access. I see from the pictures in the papers the pavement resurfaced. Did someone maybe have the kerb dropped?
  13. More stories in the press today on the channels across pavements for charger cables Trial location number 3 after the one in Stirling and someplace else. I could have the Council pay to drop my kerb. Ex Angus Tayside Council workers who are now Tayside Contracts / Direct Labour would have done the work. They sent out someone to survey and access / assess, survey the address, access !!! me. The thing was they wanted to paint a disabled bay and put a post on the street as well so i said no because i just needed off the street and not an opening and a bay on the street. I asked for them to take away the disabled ramp that the previous tenant had and that was in a bad condition.. They said they could replace it and i said i did not need a ramp that gets frozen and dangerous. So they had someone from Glasgow come and drill holes in it so that it would drain. They were from the company that had installed it many years previously. Angus Council likes if they can spend thousands having works done, ramps, dropped kerbs etc. They do not like cheap. If they were to start checking how many dropped kerbs people have done in Scotland without approval or how many have rubber tamps or pieces of wood to mount and cross a kerb that will be jobs for the boys / girls aplenty.
  14. He has been on a pretty high salary for many years as has his wife of 14 years now. He used to run a business that supplied merchandise for the SNP supporters, along with a MP & MSP. If they wanted a Motor home they had the means to purchase one themselves surely. Mont-blanc pens, key-rings and other such things as well. Hopefully coming out in the wash.
  15. @StonekeeperThat will be why they are being told to reinstate the fence. My Granny stayed in exactly they same kind of block.
  16. Strange. because 'They' claim the Ford e-Transit with a 67 kWh battery will do up to 350 kM / 217 miles on a single charge. Simples they give km for those in countries that use km & not miles. They do not do that, but if making a point then make it well. 260 km to miles is 161.557 miles. If they are doing 160 km only then that would be less than 100 miles. 180 km / 112 miles, Maybe true. Probably realistic. If you can read the numbers correctly. That would be more than 1.5 miles to the kWh with a 67 kWh battery. Pod point shows official range as 196 miles, and confident range 167 miles. But then you need to go by which e-Transit they actually are showing.
  17. That's how it was right enough. But nothing to do with actual MOT tests. Just getting a certificate when you did get certificates. Plenty got actual certificates from MOT centres when the vehicle was never at that test station. Or was and nothing in the tail pipe of that vehicle for the emissions test. But then that still happens.
  18. Peter Murrell re-arrested this morning. Not charged with anything. Innocent etc etc. All the police time spent making enquiries maybe getting someplace after all this time.
  19. Not the best of ways when parking on anything less than flat as there is a strain on the Pawl in the DSG. Actually applying the Parking Brake is quite common for some before putting i P so that it is not held by the pawl before the hand / parking brake operates. Being a DSG there is Hill Hold Assist / Control to hold it a couple of seconds as the foot goes from brake pedal to accelerator. Each to their own though. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/522689-learn-how-to-drive-an-auto-including-what-neutral-does-more-driving-tips
  20. @gm73 Was your engine low on oil when you collected it from the people that were doing the 'Health Check'?
