I have just had the same issue as you, first thing in a morning, restart after 5 minutes and it would all be OK again - and my horn also stopped working at the same time. New battery solved it. After reading some other people's issue with the horn not working, and suggestions that it is related to the battery, I recalled my a comment from my service last November that the battery had 'failed' the dealer checks. I thought nothing more of it since the car was starting fine, even on frosty mornings. Last week I charged my battery over night to test the horn theory, and for the next 3/4 days I had no issues. Bought a new battery and fitted Saturday and so far it's not skipped a beat!

I bought a MY20 Kodiaq from the main dealer in Sheffield last month, and the PCP agreement was with VWFS - cancelled within 14 days to maintain the perks per the OP. Can't comment on the PCP provider you've been given tbh - just make sure that if you cancel, any additional perks are maintained, I must have asked my sales guy about 10 times!

Just following up on this after replacing mine with a unit from aliexpress. Can't fault the unit that arrived, even had the skoda logo in the plastic body. I did however have the same issue with the led not working and looked to strip down the new unit and swap over as per the OP above, but I noticed the positive/ negative wires were crossed on the new unit (albeit red/black v brown/blue) so simply swapped over the connections in the plug and tada, the scroll lit up perfect. 😁

The road noise is most likely down to your tyre wear tbh.

Thanks for this, I'll have look at this for mine, I've been looking at downgrading my alloys from 19's to 18's, for the combination of comfort and cost per corner.

I've done the upgrade on my MY17 from MIB2 to MIB2.5 (just need to change the dash trim insert as the newer screen doesn't sit as deep at the top - still need to do this one mine). I got a screen off fleabay and sent my existing glovebox unit away for updating to MIB2.5, alternatively i was told you can simply change the columbus MIB2 screen to the amundsen MIB2.5 (capacitive buttons on each side) screen without having to update/replace the glovebox unit as the resolution is the same, therefore a direct replacement.

Your seat controller is too old - i have the same issue. The seat controller on mine is 5Q0 959 760 B, and for the option to appear on the radio you need rev C or newer ( @SashaGracewill correct me if i'm wrong as she checked this for me when fitting my RVC 😉).

The additional cooling can be required on non 4x4, my dad was in contact with the parts guy at a local dealer who advised him of this and was able to confirm whether the cooling system was suitable for towing. Apparently there is no logic to the fitting, seems to be luck of the draw.

I used my spare wheel from my old mk2 and fitted 205/65 r16 tyre to it. Looking at the tyre comparisons it was a closer fit for the stock 18's/19's than 215/60.

Had my 19's done a 'light' anthracite. Love the look but actually thinking of selling to down-size to 18's (not a big fan of low profiles). Was looking at getting the 18 equivalent as @Martin201 has done.

I would have assumed so but seemingly not - at least on mine. I've since found through a friendly parts guy at the dealer the springs from my dad's, he compared and my dad's and his rear axel load is 2 steps higher than mine (but the shockers are the same), I've therefore ordered the springs for my dad's and intend to install on mine. 👍🏻

Towed for the first time with my S3 when pulling the caravan from storage last week and the rear of the car sat very low, even without the boot loaded (the nose weight was ~85kg). My dad has a 2019 S3 and with his caravan and a similar nose weight his sits noticeably higher. When solo my rear wheel arch sits around 25mm lower (both SEL Exec's). My query is, with my S2 i used Grayston Auxiliary Spring Assisters and was considering this for my S3, but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for slightly stiffer direct replacement standard springs to save declaring on the insurance?

I had been replying on the graphics on the stalk itself which only show speed being adjusted by flicking up/down with no indication of a 'flash' to adjust in smaller incriments, only resume - should have read the manual!!

i'll give that a try, thanks, i was just flicking up/down and frustrated at it jumping in 5's.

Yes that's right, but the first time it only adjusts to the nearest 5, then multiples of thereafter.
