  1. Attached is an example of what I meanExample factory build data print out(1).txt
  2. I have an early Scala and can confirm that the stickers are not fitted. If you ask a main dealer they can print out a more detailed factory build description for your individual car. My dealer did so and I'll try to link to an old post of mine so can judge whether it is worth asking
  3. It does not stiffen normal suspension. It does stiffen and Lower in sport mode. On my early Scala there are modes for normal, eco, sport and individual. Mine is a 1.5 petrol dsg. And if you select individual mode you can choose whether on not to have sport suspension on. In sport mode it is on by default. In eco and normal sport suspension is off. In my experience sport mode noticeably improves handling but at the expense of comfort.
  4. Yes they are. The rear ones if you have them are not.
  5. I think my first post lacked detail, so here goes. My 2020 Scala has Amundsen head unit and I have a connect package which can update traffic conditions for the inbuilt sat nav. Within the sat nav there is a setting to warn if travelling faster than the speed limit for the road driven on at any time. The warning is an audible double beep. Beepbeep. If I'm travelling faster than 30 on a road with a limit of 30, or 40 on a road with a limit of 40, and so on then I get the beepbeep warning. I choose to have it enabled (don't want points on licence after attending a speed awareness course already!). You can of course turn it off if you don't need it. It's most useful when speed limit changes downwards on a journey. Ignore all of this if it doesn't fit with your sympton. Cheers
  6. Overspeed warning may be turned on? Will vary with speed limit
  7. I had asked dealer if I should wait until it reoccurred (as mine had only displayed briefly) they advised no bring it in and we'll fix it which they did.
  8. I had this a few months ago. Dealer said there was a technical bulletin on the issue and it was fixed under warranty. No reoccurrence
  9. On Monday this week my Scala displayed restricted functionality message for SOS system, contact Service(garage).Did so and car booked in for probable new module. Asked garage if I should still take car in if error message disappeared (it duly did) which it duly did! I'll let you know the outcome.
  10. Thanks to all for valuable information and advice
  11. I could probably claim on warranty but as I intend to keep the car for a while I want to avoid a like for like offer by Skoda and go for an option that will last more than 3 years
  12. I know there have been previous posts on the topic of car battery replacements for the Scala, and they mentioned best to fit an AGM rather than EFB. My car was built late 2019, and probably because of the pandemic, was not registered until September 2020. I bought it a couple of months later when it had done less than 1200 miles. It's described as first edition or launch edition and although basically SEL spec. it has sports interior, external styling pack, panoramic sunroof, heated front windscreen. The battery is obviously now over 3 years old (and for 9 months of that before being registered probably was unused and depleted of charge), Stop start has become increasingly reluctant to kick in (saying consumption high). A fifty mile run does not kick it in. I previously had an Octavia for 5 years with AGM battery, and stop start always worked (subject to ambient temp. and the other criteria being met) The car currently has an EFB battery. I have checked on the many sites which say which battery will fit my car (using reg. number) and none bring up an AGM option. So after that long winded introduction, here is what I could do with ideas and thoughts/suggestions on:- 1) Is the consumption too high message on stop/start a common issue. 2) Does that indicate poor battery condition ( the car always starts promptly on the start button) 3) Anyone with an AGM battery fitted and what are your experiences? 4) Will a new EFB or AGM battery need coding to the car? 5) I have checked stop/start with no heating, air con windscreen heating or other current draw on and that does not make any difference. It does have rear camera (Skoda fitment) but that does not seem a likely cause of current draw, as it does what it should and only operates when car in reverse. It it possible that other modules are not powering down when they should? Any thoughts. The car is still under warranty and has done less than 15000 miles with a fair amount being 700 mile trips. 6) What battery rating does your 1.5 tsi act Scala have? Is the fitment different for colder climates than the UK? Many thanks
  13. Dbpoweramp does batch conversion but is not free
  14. I believe Audacity which is free to download and use will help you convert your PCM files to MP3 which is more easily able to be tagged in a way that your head unit understands. PCM can be tagged but I doubt the Skoda unit can read the method used. Hope this helps although I'm sure someone will be along with more info.
