But not if you scrap the car when the engine pops. OBVIOUSLY that's cheaper.

I change my oil and filter every 5k miles (SDi) and have had no engine problems yet. Am at 274k miles now. Using a pump it's quick and cheap (£17 today), and surely more environmentally friendly than scrapping a car early.

Some bl00dy stupid theories floating around on this thread....... I must be clearly insane as I change my oil AND filter every 4k...... In addition I also do my fuel filter at the same time..........quick, somebody lock me up in a padded cell!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.0 tsi ticking noise on start up

GSD · 17 minutes ago17 min

Hi all, Recently picked up a 2017 1.0 TSI. Every time I start the car there’s a noticeable ticking/rattling noise that lasts around 45 seconds then stops completely. Happens on every start, not just cold. Car runs perfectly once warm with no issues at all. Has anyone experienced this on the 1.0 TSI EA211 engine? I’ve read it could be the Turbo actuator rod linkage? Car was serviced by Skoda main dealer a month ago. Any experience or advice appreciated. Video link of said noise: https://y

How do you drive an EV for best efficiency?

Gerrycan · yesterday at 14:001 day

It may be a conceit, but I believe I have a reasonable idea on how to get good mpg from an ICE vehicle, especially around our urban environment and without breaking laws. I don't hyper-mile or drive slowly or do anything to annoy other drivers, I just allow a couple of extra metres and anticipate traffic conditions. I'm also aware that there is a difference in best economy and best efficiency of an ICE engine. I've got no real experience with EVs other than the occasional drive, but I am intere

Various fault codes and issues

BertH · 3 hours ago3 hr

Hello all. Have taken my 2016 1.4 TSI in to local garage today for diagnostics after encountering some odd issues - all struck as me as potentially interrelated. Was manifesting as: driving along, aircon on - Console screen suddenly reads “Park Pilot is not available” for about a second or two. Aircon turns itself off (AC light out). Dash temperature display was not reading anything (dashed out). Tyre pressure monitoring system error pings up. All of this would then stop, aircon would be
