Does anybody know on my Mark 3 Skoda 2020 at what point and at what RPM does the turbo charger come in my previous car didn't have a turbocharger I'm just curious obviously it's just a little turbo so you wouldn't feel a massive amount of power at a certain powerband I would have thought it would come in somewhere around 1500rpm and also because the car is brand new you if I doing 80 on a motorway and come off at a service station should I leave it running for a little bit to let your oil circulate around the turbo or turn the damn thing off straight away would that starve the turbo of oil and damage the bearings it thanks guys

No idea about your RPM.

 

Come off the motorway and park and turn off the engine if Stop / Start has not.

The engine is designed to be off when stationary and the pump deals with the cooling if necessary, you will hear if you listen and things are doing what sitting letting an engine cool used to..

In my younger days when the lads were running Escort RS turbos or similar they had turbo timers that let the engines run for anywhere up to 2 mins after turning engines off when they had been giving it the beans ---- If you used that as a benchmark, your doing 70 (As thats the speed limit  ) and coming off at services, by the time you've got into the slow lane say up to 1 mile prior to the exit, pulled into services and parked etc, that should be more than enough time to achieve cool down as the turbo wont of been working hard for that period of time, approx 2 mins.

 

I would definitely take it easy when driving from cold.

This is more important IMO.  Like Scout said the natural slow down of any journey should be enough for the turbo to calm down a bit without worry.  It is far more likely that too much is asked of the system when starting from cold so tak it easy for a mile or so at least.  With my tdi I wait till the oil temp shows a reading on maxidot (>50c) which also coincides with the water temp getting to its usual 90c.  At the know there is at least a little heat in the block etc before I ask much of it.

Read a blog by Revo and as they stated the engine oil starts quite thick and as you drive and everything warms up they state you shouldn't give the turbo some beans until engine oil reaches a minimum of 80C.

spelling mistake

On my 1.4TSI Octavia 3 the engine is very flat below 1500rpm and then "wakes up", so my guesstimate is also that you start to get positive turbo boost from 1500rpm.

Just looked at my dyno graph on my 2.0TSi Superb and as the boost builds even when standard it reaches 350nm at 2,400rpm even though peak torque of 369nm arrives much later at 4,500rpm due to the large IS38 turbo. Smaller turbo's spin up quicker and earlier of course.

VW Group TSI's & TDI's since the WLTP arrive with VW508 00 / 509 00, so 0w 20 FS IV.

 

Not particularly thick at UK winter temps. 

 But sympathy with cold engines, gearboxes, bearings, brakes, tyres etc is 'Simply Clever'.

So 0/20 is safe Longsight follow the 5 0 recommendation could I also use 0/30 and what benefit in your opinion would this have obviously I will not be racing the car on a racetrack so the temperature shouldn't hit more than 150 Celsius my local Skoda garage stocks shell Helix that's what I was thinking of using and also is it worth doing a oil change once the car hits 1000 miles obviously the services next year but I was worried about metal contamination in the engine because it was brand new you not changed the filter but just changed the oil and putting zero 20 or zero 30 thank you for the help

Thank for the response I couldn't tell when it damn thing came in the car feels just like my old non-turbo car but quicker after 16 years of driving an old Vauxhall Zafira from brand new this does make a change well happy with the car it is very light and responsive thank you for your response

I would not mix the grades topping up.

 

You can go to 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III at the first Oil & Filter service.

That suits Variable and Flexible Servicing. 

 

I would be changing my keeper to Fixed Servicing and going VW502 00, so 5w 40 FS.   But then i believe in long lived TSI's and not using Long Life Oil or Servicing.

 

PS

No way on modern engines would i do a 1,000 mile oil change on a road car.

Maybe worth letting the car do 5,000 or more miles and it be driven in and changing the oil & filter if it is your car and you are keeping it for a good few years.

 

Read the Owners manual.

This is not a problem, you can mix up grades if the oil is the same spec. What you will get is an average grade, meaning, if you only top up, you will get quite small difference. In other words, if you top up Castrol Edge Titanium 0w-20, ~5l with 5w-30, ~1l, you will get: 1w-22 mixture.

 

It is better if you mix different grades of the same brand and oil type, then same grade of different manufacturers, or even spec.

It is not a problem.

But high oil use has been in 1.5 TSI's in the first 5,000 km.  

So until you see best not mix oils IMO.  

 

If near a service using a different spec, but in the first months of a manufacturers warranty i would not,  but then i have experience of dodgy TSI's.

 

PS

Oil to VW 508 00 / VW509 00 is not the same spec as Oil to VW 504 00 / VW 507 00.

 

Check oil regularly when Driving in a new car, and check from collecting the car and know where te oil is when hot / operating temp and when stone cold.

Thank you for information something to think about I think I will leave the oil change until the first service I was only worried about running in the first 1000 Miles and        having light bits and metal     due to the running in period I bought I'd flash it all out but I think the consent is on the forum is don't touch it and tell it's first Skoda service I suppose these new oil filters would trap any debris in the engine in its first Thousand Miles and I suppose they were in this car would be best 0 -20₩  thank you for the advice

I know what you mean, as I have asked the same question to my dealer. They were strongly _against_ flushing that first oil prematurely, so I have replaced it at 13000km, because it was just ahead long trip to Spain (4500km), which would breach maintenance interval (15000km) severely. 

 

Just do as dealer says. If you need top-up, go to them, or buy exactly the same oil regardless of the grading, and freely top-up yourself. 

Thanks bud that does help ok I will leave it alone until it's first Skoda service I suppose these modern filters are that good they will take out all the metal particles my only worry was being a brand new car they would be metal particles due to the running in period but I think you guys are all now saying don't touch it until it's first official Skoda service do not want to to mess with the warranty and blowing engine up thumbs up to everybody that gave me help😎
