She arrived! But 1 thing..
seanantenbring replied to shanemeh's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
No simple setting I'm afraid, sound like an issue with the microphone. Fingers crossed it'll be sorted quickly when you drop it in. Nice colour! :) -
No car since October !
seanantenbring replied to vrs red's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm in a fight with VWFS and SUK regarding on going issues with my car since my purchase in December last year. My car has been in the garage the equivalent of once a month for various issues, albeit not major mechanical failure but various different issues varying from rattles/vibrations to touch screen issues with the radio. One issue with a vibration coming from the engine bay they haven''t been able to fix for over 5 months and 7+ visits to the dealers. I'm trying to reject the car but they aren't bending over backwards, they're trying everything in the book and most of all the dealer don't give a monkeys, the one time they had the car they damaged the interior and scratched the drivers door paintwork! I hope you get your issues sorted soon otherwise I might join you in a campaign! -
Reliability/build quality issues?
seanantenbring replied to iDENTITi's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I am in the same boat, loads of issues since I purchased my car in December and almost a year later not all are fixed. I to wish I'd kept my Mk2 and saved my money :( Can you PM me the address of the MD at Skoda please roblatus? I'll be typing something up to send across. Cheers -
Hey folks, Just been doing some digging with VCDS and I've been able to increase the brightness of the DRLs on my VRS when the engine isn't running so.... Parking Lights, Coming Home and Leaving Home. Bit of a gimmik but I like the fact they're brighter when the cars unlocked in a shop car park, looks epic! Better still for those who have chosen DRLs and Fogs as CH and LH lights The great thing is they dim back down when the car is started to prevent blinding people. Go into [09] Central Electronics Go to Security Access and enter 31347 Go into Adaptation Search for: Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert CD 2 35 is the default setting. I set it to to 85 (percentage of brightness). Of course you can play with this yourself! Again search for: Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert CD 3 35 is the default setting. I set it to to 85 (percentage of brightness). Of course you can play with this yourself! I parked the car on a quiet straight road so I could check the brightness after walking away from the vehicle to get the desired setting I wanted. I haven't seen this on the VCDS guide section so of course if its OK please add this Cheers Sean

vRS TDi occasionaly slow to fire up.
seanantenbring replied to Mence's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Taken mine in and mentioned this and the TSB number and they insist that there is nothing on the system for my car (VRS TDI) and give me the keys back. Are you guys just lucky and they're doing it for you or are there actual notes against your vehicle VIN to be able to get the update? Cheers -
Those who have raised their height a little, have you had any issues with MOT and the headlights being too high? I ask as I'm thinking of raising mine a little as find them way to low! If I park them on my what appears to be flat drive and point them at my garage door how much should I raised the cut off by!? How much is too much?

Anyone had any luck with this? Mine still does it and two different dealers just use the "nothing in the logs, nothing we can do" card. -

Spoke to Skoda UK regarding this after having my car handed back by my dealer who explained that there was no fault found. Skoda UK say that its a characteristic of the car and it can happen from time to time! hmmm -

seanantenbring replied to Mence's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm having this issue with mine, took it in and they kept it to look at and told me nothing logged and Skoda UK report no known faults and no solution. They've given me the car back but don't know where to go from here to be honest! -
vRS Xenons - questions
seanantenbring replied to johnrowley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I find mine too low on dipped also. You can from what I've read put the xenons into learn mode in vcds, adjust the hex bolt on the headlight and then the car knows where to default back too after its dance when you first start. I've never done it but if someone can confirm then I would have a go It has to be done on a flat surface also. -
Interior rattles when in sport mode
seanantenbring replied to TheBinarySheep's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Mine does this and its going in next weekend for it to be looked at again. Skoda UK looking into it also to find out whats causing it. Apparently the factory are testing a new bracket in the engine bay near the sound generator which can cause a vibration when in sport.... -
2016 mkIII xenon's,somewhat underwhelmed...
seanantenbring replied to T5DKO's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Hope you got your VRS today and you love it! Were there hex adjusters on the VRS the same as your GTD? Cheers -
No worries, I hope you found it useful! I ended up putting two 3.3uF capacitors in series which gave 1.65uF which for me is spot on and works a treat! I had spare 3.3uF capacitors and wanted to take a tad more mid range from the tweeters after making the first capacitor change in the guide above, so rather than buying more capacitors I just used two of the ones I had which gave me 1.65uF. Why on earth Skoda didn't test the speaker setup properly in the first place I have no idea! Really poor in my opinion and clearly a major quality control issue. I will do the rears when I can be bothered TTFN!
