Red oil light intermittingly flashing
Can I suggest you check / replace the oil filter. I had similar on a 1.9tdi Fabia with the oil pressure light coming on intermittently on the motorway and it turned out to be a faulty / old filter that had either been missed during the servicing and was starting to collapse.

Given what you've said I'd be drilling the hole in the sdi firewall...

He he... Sorry!

The Kia EV6 GT - supercar performance - well done Kia/Hyundai
I think you'll find the EV6 low sales numbers are down to a lack of supply as last time I looked they had a huge waiting list.

Hi
As above you may need to adjust your driving style... These small capacity turbo engines seem to be more economical if you give them their head and let them rev a bit rather than using low end torque like you would a diesel (says the man having gone from two 1.9 or 2.0 pd TDi estates to a 1.4 tsi kodiaq...)

That'd do my OCD in as you've not put it on straight...

Yeti rear Diff - which one?
MandT are a decent bunch... They are only about 10 minutes walk from me and I've used them quite a lot over the last 10 years or so for tyre changes, MOTs and servicing. They may not look like much from the outside but know their stuff and charge reasonable prices.

Tweenster's 2019 Suzuki Swift Sport
Good stuff. Spotted the wheels but it also looked like it had lost a load of lacquer off the paint and side skirts...

What's happened there? Has it been in the wars?

iPhone 11 won't charge or connect to Apple CarPlay via USB A port on 2019 Kodiaq
Is the one that did work still connecting? I only ask as I know we've had an issue with our USB socket and it needs replacing.

Diesel or Petrol
You do have a point there... 🤣

Diesel or Petrol
We have the 1.4tsi 150 petrol 4x4 and I worried similarly but have been impressed... Its coped very well with 4 up and the boot loaded up to the gunnels travelling from Sheffield to Belfast over the Pennines and likewise up to Lancaster. OK it's no rocket ship and I'm sure the tdi would pull better but it does us and is very quiet and smooth. As for mpg we get about 40mpg on a long run like the above but a bit less if hoofing it or really loaded up heavy but only about 30 on short runs round town.

New Karoq owner
Strange as Carista has the option to enable them on a Kodiaq (or at least did for our 2018 one)

Anyone else ordered a new Kodiaq?
I do like that blue...

UK Stickers for France
Indeed - I have a friend who has lived and worked in France for many years and is married to a French lady but still got caught out by this - his car was written off and it was deemed his fault when a 'local' exited a T-Junction from the right in a Priorite a Droite area. He had no sightline to the junction so was unaware of the local approaching the junction and, when the other vehicle emerged it was far too late for him to stop, or avoid them...

Which light bulb? ''Rear right light broken''
Yep w3w... These are the ones I used to use when I had an Octavia estate... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-Genuine-Neolux-501-W3W-T10-TW2-1x9-5d-Wedge-12v-3w-Clear-Bulbs-N504-/192105231608?hash=item2cba5d34f8:g:wlEAAOSwax5Yo0DH&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAwLIiF9IlbuUoflN5dmWoF0CYfbDfeLGymDfF7g4xU5Vlol18/PZPfQ0DxIkYjwtCzv8o6H+Vt5RJfOfwsoElXMNQ8t5dCct9bg0QpiloBr194pa1HDVi2cjTsKJaznsLz9Pr2+CIdnIJy+BGmjPIaDei5rKFDSViT7DGLoakSvWkxRYgufUFECtNB9rfUZJVhS4qnyLJOwkcgeAVoSODQjJ6tTfmBjuuBP1tP7fDHw4JZbFZoiA0ZKrTCZGZo3KtXA==|tkp:Bk9SR-K2q6HlYQ&pageci=644f28cd-c912-49e6-be00-173dae35721e&redirect=mobile In fact I've probably still got a load somewhere in the garage (not sure where though...)

280 Tyres
Interesting - I had the Goodyear's on my Honda Civic and didn't rate them at all - crap in the wet and noisy - they were replaced by Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's which were a far better tyre (shame they're not made any more)

the truth about electric cars
I'm assuming there is no 'emergency release' option on the Tesla then and they don't unlock the cable once fully charged so it can be removed and re-used? (if not hey should be mandated to do so under Construction and Use Regs).

1.2 TSI shuts down after start and could not be started again
I'd guess at an immobizer issue there and the key not being recognised. Might be worth checking the antenna on the ignition barrel?
-
280 Tyres
I may be unusual but we have the Falken Azenis FK510 on the Kodiaq and I've been pretty impressed. Very stable quiet and good in the wet. Maybe no tup with some of the top stuff but very good in my opinion.

Pretty certain they are w3w. If they are the ones that light up the 'c' shape.

Kodiaq Owners Register
Nice... Although I do still prefer the nose on the old one.
