Latest Infotainment version Bolero
paulobrien replied to aldouk's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Many thanks to @aki78 for sending me the process for this. I went from ancient version 421 to 475, feels a bit quicker but not been out for a proper drive yet! I did get hangs and all sorts of weird things on the old version, so hopefully they are fixed. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOMv-6aQbxp1scsEx2gRZSpjHGW6sG6NMG_t06U3KVYegw3stvKdx7FBz4qyyDEOQ?key=djVGT0hqZ3I0bk43aHYwZXBnUVpMaTJkWFRKVWNn P -
Headlight tweak to extend HID lifespan
paulobrien replied to xpower's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Ah, this is great! Where can I set sidelight DRL brightness to 100% rather than dimmed as they are now? I basically want sidelights with ignition off to replicate the 'off' position on the switch with ignition on. P -

Hah! Simliar config to mine but with the Geminis! Love the contrasting silver of the rails! P -
Some Pirelli Sottozero 3 225/40/18s going on the Pictoris wheels later this week... P

Yeah, I have the silver Pictoris and the silver rails, my first choice would have been yours with silver rails. P -

Intermittent DRL Failure
paulobrien replied to paulobrien's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Interesting, sounds like 2 potential causes, water ingress in the control unit or the headlight itself. I've not noticed any moisture in the headlight itself yet so fingers crossed...! P -
Intermittent DRL Failure
paulobrien replied to paulobrien's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
According to the dealer it's water ingress in the control unit, they brought it into the waiting area to show me. New one should be here tomorrow apparently so I will update then... P -
Intermittent DRL Failure

Love the way the pic shows the left one... P -
Off to the dealer tomorrow for them to investigate an intermittent DRL failure, indicated on the dash and clearly visible on the nose. Hopefully just a loose connection! Assume nobody else has had this? P
