How far away from the socket is your camera ? I have a 30cm cable and it is long enough to get to the camera just behind the mirror

Has anyone changed Skoda Octavia mk4 rear brakes?
RADIOTWO replied to Dandesc's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Rather than buy a ODB, just ask around you might find someone local that can wind the pistons back while you do the job and they may accept a donation !! -

RADIOTWO replied to Dandesc's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Hi yes you will need some thing like a ODBeleven to wind the pads back, but other than that it is just like changing any pads, You have not said the milage of the car but a 21 plate should not need pads replacing unless you have driven all round the world ! -
Earth Point for dashcam wiring near to fusebox
RADIOTWO replied to greyvrs's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
If you drop the glove box down, left hand side of the fuses there is a metal frame, I have screwed into that, but I am puzzled with ref the parking feature, surely there is a battery in the device and if there is a activation it wakes up and records the incident, but if it is powered all the time and stays recording there is every chance the footage will be over written -
I have sent a PM to you Tim

I have not got any photos but will get some tomorrow, I don't tow a caravan (I used to years ago) but to say yours have about 1600Kg towing mine has 2000Kg limit But have a word with this company who did mine: https://www.wezmorrell.co.uk/

Yes I have had a Tow-Trust removable Towbar fitted to my 2021 VRS, but you have to look on the data plate to see the cars towing limit, as a lot of the Octavia's have come out with a 0Kg towing limit so if you have that you cannot have one fitted

Changing brake pads yourself
RADIOTWO replied to PilsnerUrquel's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
You cannot say a size as I guess there is different ones for the different models (and different carriers) As Pete says make some calls with Vin number, Or what I do is go to TPS -
Changing brake pads yourself
RADIOTWO replied to PilsnerUrquel's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Changing the pads is a easy job, make sure you have the car on axel stands (don't just do it on the Jack) but make sure you have all the tools ready (even if you have to have a check before starting the job) get some "copper slip" grease for the back and the edges of the pads (this stops the squealing) and you will need a tool for pushing the pistons back in (to fit the new pads) and you will need a tool to push back the electrically operated piston on the back. One other thing to look at is the Discs to see it they are worn or deeply grooved, if so you will need new discs. You also mention about the pads the best place to find the correct pads is try Euro Car Parts and put your reg in and should give you the right pads -
Is there a problem with the base, ? I am 5Ft 10 and I have my seat about half way on the runners, admitting I have a gammy Knee so have to slide it back to get in and out

What does 'tow bar preparation' actually include
RADIOTWO replied to Maxi24's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Yes you are correct, so means you can tow 2015Kgs -
I have booked mine in for the recall and the day after it popped up 30 days to oil service so phoned them and booked the oil change But 4500 miles to the oil change is a long way away, you don't say the year of yours but that is roughly about six months driving and nowadays using synthetic oil you don't need to change too often

If you are doing jobs on the car like washing, checking oils etc, let it unlock and then open the door and it won't lock and unlock
-
I think you will find if it unlocks as you approach or touch the handle, and you don't open the door it will lock its self, idea being if you accidently press the unlock button while in your pocket (as such) and you did not know you had done it it will lock its self
