Update: everything was good when I went to the skip. No errors thanks for the help

I think it was a 3rd party seller and I’m always reluctant and suspicious when a saving is too good? Besides we are taking £3 difference and Tanya almost did next day

Sorry I forgot about the full lock step. Now I just have the start stop error but I need to take the old battery to the skip so we will see if it goes

@varooomSo Tanya were fast getting me the new battery and the battery was a simple enough swap but now I’m getting several errors when I restart but they don’t seem related to the battery? Tyre Pressure Indicator, ESC, Hill Hold, Front assist and a Stop/Start error

@varooom looks about that size without taking it out Just ordered the Varta model from Tanya, probably with postage a few quid more than the Amazon Bosch equivalent but at least I have no worries about its authenticity

@varooom sorry to be a pain but is there any difference between the Bosch S5 and the Varta E39 option

Thanks @varooom your a life saver, I start a new job in March which will require quite a few miles so I didnt want to worry about the battery. Now for the next on my list, what do you know about all season tyres 🤣 joking. Thanks again

@varooom I keep getting a server error when I try to upload the photo but it is a Varta 7P0 915 105 12V 68Ah 380A DIN BEM Code: 7P0915105 VAO67050991XD

I noticed that my current battery does struggle sometimes now not helped by the keyless start up sequence. I had a routine service the other day and surprise they said the battery needs replacing soon which I knew wasn't cheap as its a stop/start 2.0TDi engine but I struggled to stay on my seat when they said it would be ~£400 😵 I said no thanks I would sort it myself..... Looking at the batteries it looks like the Bosch S5 A08 is the best candidate but I'm confused if it needs coding? Euro Car Parts have them for £250 but Amazon have them for £140? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-0-092-S5-A-080-Rechargeable-Starter-Battery/dp/B00SJ97O6W/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Car+Batteries+s5+a08&qid=1675246904&s=automotive&sr=1-1@varooom any advice

Just wanted to get the collective thoughts on the frequency to expect the Regen cycle to run on the engine (2.0Tdi 190HP) Mine seems to run almost every day but I am currently just doing short trips to pick up the kids. If the region is running too often is it ok or an indictor for something else ?

This is often the case with garages especially dealers where if no fault codes come up on the computer they don't have a clue. The cynic in me says that the diagnostic fee is just a free money maker. I often find open forums like this know the answer better than the people we pay it fix the problem. I had a problem on my old 52 plate Octavia with a faulty mass flow sensor but the garage couldn't find the fault after three visits and kept blaming bad fuel, it took me a bout 30 mins search on Briskoda to solve the issue......

40,000km seems a little early to have a failure in the water pump??

I need the collected knowledge 😉 I had all four tyres changed yesterday and since then I keep getting an error message on the display to “Depress the brake pedal” when I come to a stop. I have the auto handbrake enabled and the green light is coming on so I’m lost as to why the error message is coming on and if it’s related to the tyre change ????? any thoughts

I now also have it fixed I was due the cam belt change next year so also brought it forward and got the belt and pump changed for £458 at an independent VW garage and they even made room to get it done asap. Overall a good deal as the dealer quoted £699 just for the belt

It would appear that someone in Skoda HQ has pressed a button to trigger the water pump on all 2017 190ps TDI's 😜 It's going to be an expensive job but I found a independent VW garage who is doing it for almost half of the dealer cost. And its still cheaper than replacing the engine......
