delivered with 58 miles on it… transporter to a compound about 50 miles away and the driven here. PDI wise, no idea sadly. I have to say there is zero new car yay feeling at all and I find myself thinking should I have bothered…

Please don’t cross post in multiple forums. I will lock this thread and the discussion can carry on on your other thread with replies.

Well nothing useful back yet, looks like the dealer is giving the lease company the run around too. if it doesn’t improve quickly I’ll tell them to take it back. Slightly concerning on the low miles per kW as it’s mind bendingly quick even averaging 3+ m/kW. Is there anything I need to do or be aware of to make I’m covered on this?

Indeed they were my thoughts too. To get below 2 they must have absolutely hammered it.

Scratches, front reg plate on too low and there are rubs/damage to doorcard, glove box area and other trim pieces. possibly some damage to chrome trim and a black trim piece from cleaning chemicals they must have used. over full coolant loop, it all suggests there wasn’t a pdi done well. plus a small paint blemish that needs to be noted. Still the delivery driver got less than 2 miles/kW according to the onboard trip computer and kept saying how fast it was. To top it off they faked a signature and said the car was perfect. All reported shortly after delivery to the lease co. 😞

Well we’ve had the ev6 delivered and it’s sat waiting for the dealer/lease company to decide what to do with the delivery damage. It’s quite funny getting people staring at it when they deliver the post etc though.

I was thinking leased batteries, charged, maintained and swap facilities run by suitable companies. Instead of filling up with diesel on a fuel card, it’s a battery swap on an electric “fuel” agreement.

Truck Truck stop = battery swap for a fully charged set. Could replace the fuel card 👍

Why recharge them on vehicle? Standard pack, do a swap if you have driving time left and otherwise replace them after your rest period.

Please repost your question in English, as per the forum guidelines. thanks

Missed that. As long as it’s a suitable battery and a recode was carried out, then that’s covered.

I’ve given a descriptive title to the thread and moved it to the Octavia section where you’ll likely get a better response. At nearly 5 years old and I imagine having sat through CoVID have you checked the battery? A dying battery can cause a whole world of crazy on modern cars and 5 years is not an unreasonable battery life.

None of those offer charger planning do they?

I’d love a superb EV based on the 800v architecture platform. edit…. Especially an estate 👍

As per the title, which route planning apps do people use for their EV Journeys? Which do you avoid? And the obvious why. 👍

Ask for disc thickness measurements in writing as well as the manufacturer stated replacement thickness. then get your own tools, measure and if they have spoken incorrectly report them if a skoda dealer/large chain. How much meat is left on the pads as the shadow on the photo doesn’t suggest they’re worn in the second picture (but you can’t tell from a picture so they might be worn)?

Red light is low oil pressure. If you drove like that for a week I would imagine many parts of the engine are going to be deeply unhappy . Getting the car running again is a trade off…. You could easily spend £800 + fitting repairing your engine. You could also buy a second hand engine and have it go bang shortly after. I would get a price for a complete rebuild before you let anyone start on repairing bits. This will likely be cheaper than fixing it piece at a time, then the next piece etc. Only then with prices etc can you make your choice an informed one. Good luck and please use this as a prompt for the future as why you have warning lights.

I did 😂😂 Since the eGMP platform has a tail happy weight distribution in RWD format I imagine it’ll drift pretty well.

You might get away with a complete rebuild… could bore it out get a 1.7 tdi 😂👍

Sadly my advice would be listen to warning lights. Was the oil light orange or red? If I had to guess (and it is a complete guess) I would think you might have damaged the engine internals by causing higher friction due to no oil. This may then have affected the cylinder compression.

Same sort of results for every vw group car on that floor pan/platform. I’d be very worried if I was VW that they’ve designed an iffy platform.

I read the report, the most common problem was in fact listed as the infotainment? That system was one of the major reasons that the next car won’t be vw group.

Try finding a safe quieter stretch of dual carriageway with nobody on it. 70-10MPH firm braking (not quite emergency stop) and do it 4-5 times with suitable time between them to make sure you don’t get any brake fade/heat issues. That should clean up the surface well. When it’s all cold you can run a wire brush over the very edge of the disc (not the braking surface) to get rid of any there, but that isn’t required.
