Turbo needs replacing

Im told the 'turbo has gone' on my Skoda Fabia estate 1.2 tsi (2013). It's only done close to 19k so a bit in despair. Is this typical?

I would very much hope not as I have a 62 1.2 tsi with 44k on the clock!!

What are the signs that the turbo has gone do you get a particular colour or cloud of smoke?

How do you drive an EV for best efficiency?

Gerrycan · Sunday 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

Does having a vRS with 4X4 bring a noticeable improvement to the car?

Sinbad1900 · 1 May1 May

This is a follow up to a previous question I posed recently. I had a 2008 vRS for over 12 years and really loved it before moving on to something different. Looking to getting back into vRS ownership again and toying with the idea of finding one with the 4x4 drive train. If anyone has been able to compare the two, is there a noticeable improvement in road handling with this variant? Thanks

Very strange brake feedback - Kodiaq SE

minimumcharacters · 7 February7 Feb

Hello! First post here... I'm currently driving a 2025 SE and I find the brakes absolutely awful. There seems to be varying levels of what I can only describe as servo pushback from the pedal meaning that in order to get it to brake anywhere near smoothly I need to try and modulate the pressure applied to the pedal to match the pushback. It's most odd, and not something I've experienced in any other car. When the pedal is pushing back against my foot it's as if the brakes are not being applied

Creaking front-end

travs · 17 hours ago17 hr

History is that since the coilovers were done, the front-left top mount has aways creaked on turning; classic top mount sound of juddering movement. I've tried rotating the spring a little in case that's a difference but I need to do try some more just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. In the meantime, the front right has developed a creak which is different. It's a heavier creaky rubber feel to it which is triggered on minor movement/weight shift. Going over speedbumps obviously makes
