I've just tried the website & it's working. I did this update without any problem a few weeks ago. Download the 2 files separately. Delete the old files from the sd card (make a back up copy first) then just drag the new files onto the card. https://mibsolution.one/#/1/15/MSTD

Th That's how it's set up. All normal. Turn the key to the start position and release. The glow plugs do their thing and when it's ready the starter kicks in. No further input from you is required.

If you can't charge the battery, can you get it jump started?

763 for me.🥹

Is the central locking working using the fob?

This is the best advice, quick and easy. I'd have to do this if my car was in my garage with the passenger door almost touching the wall.

You mean spark plugs?

Get it checked for codes.

If you are using the sat nav now, it means you have an original Skoda card. Only Skoda cards will work. You can download the new map update from the Skoda website, delete the old files from the card (back them up 1st) and install the new files.

Look under the bonnet to see if there is a servo.

Used the wrong term. No letter, just told about it when it went in for a service at a main dealer. Should have been a recall in my opinion to avoid more expensive claims for damaged gearboxes.

Yes. I did have it done. That's what I meant by the recall.

Mines on 65,000 miles. Only had the recall work done on it. Faultless.

I'm on my original battery and S/S is always used, so have to disagree with your statement about a shortened battery life. I go along with your other point re coding.
