Look up New Automotive - where that story about petrol stations not stocking diesel comes from - and you'll see the 'spin'...

Sounds like the alarm has activated when you started charging it...

What was done at the last service...

Measure your existing ones...???

I have often used Bosch in the past and round them very good but this time I decided to try 20Twenty ones from Autobulbsdirect and they've been excellent over the last few months

Definitely a retrofit fuse holder... Pearl Consumables 30A 12V Mini Blade Inline Fuse Holder - Screwfix Perhaps you're mishearing where the clicking is coming from? If you look left it's attached to the +ve terminal of the battery... probably feeding a dashcam or an accessory / amp / lights of some sort.

That looks to be a waterproof electrical fuse holder.

I'd suggest this is the reason - we had exactly the same for a while after I replaced the fan resistor in our Fabia with a pattern part. It disappeared after a week or so.

Both are EA211 the 1.5 with a. Improved miller cycle and management etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_EA211_engine STR PerformanceEA211 1.5 TSI: evolution of the 1.4 TSI, Miller technolog...However people do confuse the ea211 1.4tsi with the original ea111 1.4tsi twincharger

The 1.4tsi act is basically the same engine as the 1.5tsi act with a few minor changes . They are both EA211 engines

At a guess that's probably due to the colour temperature of the LEDs that means the light doesn't reflect back off the wet road

The time period might be based on driving time rather than just lapsed time - I really can't remember... However, I do recall many years ago some comments about putting the radio in a freezer for a while that seemed to reset things but whether it worked or not I cannot say.

From memory it's just a time-based issue - leave it long enough and it will let you enter a new number...

I'm not familiar with it but a small amount of tiger seal would probably do the job... It kept the roof to windscreen seal in position on my old Honda Civic at silly speeds and also held the sill trims on too.

The quickest and easiest (and probably what the factory used) is 3M Automotive VHB double sided tape.

I'd respectfully suggest that many of the electronic systems in a Dacia, that are largely proven technology from Renault et al (as Skoda used to be with VAG) are far less prone to glitches and far more reliable than those in the VAG stable at present...

But some people like a minimalist specification and don't want their vehicle to be all singing and dancing with lots of functionality they will never use... Added to that a minimalist specification seems to make them more reliable.

If she liked the Tiguan why not look at a Kodiaq... They are similar but larger

I've had two 4x4 Skoda's, neither of which have had those selectable modes (Octavia 2 4x4 and current Kodiaq 4x4 SE). I live at the top of a hill at the edge of the Peak District where we get a lot of bad weather and also have a disabled child. I have never worried about not having selectable modes as both cars have performed brilliantly in snow and rough tracks. If I were you I'd stop worrying. If you're really concerned invest in better tyres rather than sweating over a mode button as they'll give you a far better return on investment.

There is some logic there... I just can't work out in my head if it will work... I guess what you're doing is adjusting the cam sprocket to accommodate the amount of chain lengthening between the crank and cam which has put the timing out. With the tensioner taking up the slack on the other side it sounds plausible but I'd query why that isn't a typical 'fix' as opposed to a new chain... which makes me wonder if it wouldnt work. Need to think on it...

As above there is no time or mileage interval specified in the workshop manual only an inspection regime as it's deemed as a fitted for life part. Current anecdotal suggestions seems to indicate 10 years or 240,000kms might be about when it might be worth changing it but as yet I don't recall seeing any evidence online of failures for it or it's predecessor the 1.4tsi act at any age or mileage.

Regardless of the fact that at your mileage and age it doesn't need doing what your mechanic has told you would make me run a mile and ensure he never got near my vehicle. It is TOTALLY INCORRECT!

Had Bridgestone Ecopia EP 150 on the Swift when it came and couldn't wait for them to wear out...

I've been using an Ottocast mini cube 3 in our Kodiaq for the last few weeks and wouldn't recommend it for Android Auto as it seems to be Apple Car Play based. I'll probably be ordering an AAWireless Two shortly though based on recommendations

Don't know about the Enyaq but I have an underbody attachment for my jetwash that I've used on our previous Octavia and current Kodiaq for years. I'll certainly be continuing with that every now and then when I get time to wash it now last years hosepipe ban has been lifted.
