Great! Will see in action!

but I know where the speaker is when I say forward gear it makes a beep and the image of the car appears on the radio and disappears in a second, and it no longer works

I think its the foam that degrades, you say it is becoming "increasingly uncomfortable", was the drivers seat ever comfortable? All my Skodas the seats have worn through the side bolster from getting in and out and the foam degraded well before the cars were run in, my figure for that is over 200k miles, the point at which the piston rings were finally bedded in and the tiny oil consumption (1/2 litre top up if I went well beyond my 10K mile service limit) stopped altogether. On the MK1 I changed the lower cover and bolster for one from a breakers yard, it was far more comfortable, I have just changed the seat on my 1980's micro tractor and my derrière is thanking me. Leather seats probably spread the load a little but once the foam has degraded they can be just as uncomfortable.

Ok. Went into the dealers on thursday, ALL DAY, even though i dropped it off at 8am. For them to say, they heard the noise but it is not loud enough to warrant a change under warranty? So, if the item is faulty but is not banging away loud enough for their ears, then its a no no? even though they say it has a fault as they can hear it...im lost on that one. They couldnt replacate the emegency anouncement or the voice system asking "where now", but did find the drivers door needed a new lock as the one on it threw a fault up? i didnt have any problems with the door. So, nothing fixed for what it went if for but something fixed for the joy of it.

That's the difference between the two B versions. 832 and 833? Other than the price

Thinkdiag pro output screenshot. Park assist will not engage and from the odb dtcs it looks like a park assist speaker has failed. Cheap swap out of I can find it. Any ideas where it is located.

I don't know what OBD reader is short circuited, but if a rear sensor is short circuited it could also block the system

Sorry should hve said oem wheels wanted

If you're lucky you may get an answer to your question😜

@anotherdownunder Great stuff. So are you all good now? What was the bottom line then on what it cost you to resolve?

Put a new power cable for car amplifier. Just wanted to share the easiest way. Remove battery and air filter unit. At the marked spot there is a rubber grommet already available. Cut small hole and put cable through. It will be accessible directly at the drive side.

Sorry just being silly! I get fed up with people saying that after 100K a car is past it. I fully expect this engine to last 300K plus. There is such an expectation to upgrade and replace anything over 3 years old! ( Our newest car is 8 years old with 85K and oldest is 43 years with 140K!)

Need to know engine code as well if you would like me to try to look up wiring info. A quick glance at a guessed CUNA engine circuit suggests there are two oxygen sensors, which surprised me, and possibly the garage that may have replaced the wrong one?

You obviously use a Ouija board to obtain answers that don't help. With no help from this forum but mucho from VW Forum I measured fuel pressure saying injector problem. Seems you lot more interested in Trump than helping each other! Sad!

You can't pay monthly when new - From Gov.uk:- "You’ll pay a rate based on a vehicle’s CO2 emissions the first time it’s registered." & "This payment covers your vehicle for 12 months." then "Rates for second tax payment onwards"

It's just a figure of speech - I've used the same statement in the past to describe good condition cars when middle aged. I wondered if it was a regional phrase, but possibly not as I'm from Yorkshire and OP is shown as in Suffolk.

but what if they had elected to Pay monthly? ;o) (ok highly unlikely on a new car purchase but.................................

Well it's been quite the scorcher this April, hasn't it? I hope the "climate deniers" are thoroughly ashamed of themselves! https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/met-office-speaks-out-over-28926560

Good. VW introduced the DQ380 in 2015 and the DQ381 after that. So what was used 2013 to 2015 or 2018? That is with 1.4 TSI or 1.6tdi,s?

As it's supposedly rated at 30 Watts charge I'm hopeful that it's USB-C as I believe USB-A is limited to 18 Watts. Either way, it's 99p and I'll find a use for it as not even sure I'll have it in the car.

You'll just have to wait and see what arrives.

I'm interested what you mean by "just run in" as your profile says you have a 2014 Octavia III? Saying "just run in" about a 10 year old car seems somewhat unusual to me?
