Some goodies arrived today. SuperSkoda. Will be a few weeks before I get a chance to fit them. Have to wait until the paint guy is finished before adding the new bits.
Car being debadged for a 2 stage  Polish to remove swirls that the dealer put on car with weekly washing. Then being nano coated with the self healing stuff. 
Then I will fit the new stuff. Most excited about the backlit door sills. But the new black badges ( still can’t believe they don’t come standard on a Sportline), and the mudflaps will make a big difference to looks. 

Sport menu is activated

@RomanB Hi, How did you activate this Sport Info menu on your L&K? I didn't succeed to do it on my MY2017. I would be happy, if you were OK to share.

thanks.

Hi, for that you need activation FEC code, OD will not activate it. I wrote the topic "how to activate carplay mirolink and so on" on this forum, all that you need you can find there. Or just ask)

I've posted to fast and found you other post few minutes later... Seems way to far for computer skills. Seems too risky for me compared to simply (un)tick a box with VCDS.

Too bad for me.

@RomanB Once the Sport information menu is activated, do you get the all the gages from the Off road mode in the same menu? Simple assumption, since your picture shows the coolant temp, which is available from Off road mode (which can be activated with VCDS). 

Do I understand correcly?

I've run a bottle of STP fuel system cleaner through mine........as it's running ****e, to the extent that I think the turbo (or just the actuator) is gone or malfunctioning. It has very little initial boost.........you wouldn't be able to kick the ESP in on a wet road but if I treat the throttle gently it will build up a head of steam.

 

I had it into my Skoda dealer for a full service and asked them to check it out but they said it was fine and not showing any errors or codes. I'm sorry Skoda.......but I know when my 190ps 400nm diesel is not boosting properly. It seems fairly intermitent with how bad it boosts.

 

Is there any known foibles or issues with this 190 engine or am I looking at jammed vnt flaps that have screwed up the electric actuator.

 

To be clear.......it hasn't gone into full limp mode yet.

 

Throttle body....EGR......boost pipe.........someone please throw me a bone!!!!!

@k.young Hi, I also drive a TDI190. To me, this should not be a turbo (or its actuator indeed) issue, since this would raise a fault code.

The EGR valves is probably not frozen (otherwise, it would also raise a fault code too). But it may be partially 'clogged' or dirty.

 

Just a question: Do you some time press the throttle pedal generously  to 'clean' the whole exhaust line (incl. EGR valve)?

Upon warm engine, make frank accelerations in low gears to get rid of soot around EGR valve.  

 

 

Little bit of engine bay tidying up, thanks to @CoverdaleCP for the part and top service 👍

I did the same to mine a few months ago. 

It "Completes" the bay.

Nice!

2 or 3 more plastic covers and it will look like an AMG engine bay! ... Almost... 

Just kidding!  

I didn't do anything, but a rock decided to hit the windscreen and left two small little pit marks. They're like dead pixels on a screen, once seen never unseen.

 

4 days into my ownership, must be a world record. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFck. Someone make me feel better with their stone chip story!
