Won't adding front parking sensors also require the PDC module to be changed from a 4 channel one to an 8 channel one?

2026 Sportline MHEV
On my early Mk4 (2020) there are options to change colour and brightness of the ambient lighting; I assume similar on the newer FL models so maybe check for the brightness settings.

2026 Sportline MHEV
How do i activate my ambient lighting? I can get the spectrum to show up and I can change the screen background but there are no lights on the door strips or across the dashboard. I have the free month trial of Ambient Lighting Additional Colours and Ambient Lighting Additional Features installed from the My Skoda app and activated, but nothing lights up. Can I get rid of or change the red ring around the 2 circular dashboard dials?

What are they?
Agreed... They are the exhaust hangers (or in this case they are 'inverted' hangers

Unless I'm missing something, aren't they supports for the exhaust rather than pipes?

Wheel Caps
I have the following wheel caps on my MY20 Mk3 Octavia. The chrome finish is prone to corroding and I am already on a second set. At £18 each, £72 for the set is a bit steep however, I will be getting my Geminis refurbished imminently and begrudge putting the old caps back on in their current state.

The MY20 Mk3 Octavia isn’t listed as a compatible vehicle however. Has anybody fitted these to a Mk3 Octavia or able to advise on how the finish holds up? I’ll probably give Wings a call to clarify the compatibility and report back.

RNS 315 Fabia mk2 Retrofit
All sounds perfectly fine. The radio will go into standby when you take the key out. Yes, you can still turn it back on as it's on a permanent live, but while it's off, it's drawing next to nothing. I did the same retrofit to my mum's (now mine) Fabia II Combi in 2014, 12 years later, both the car and the RNS-315 have been fine with no flat battery issues. However, that said I finally removed it about two weeks ago and replaced it with an RCD 360. As map support for the RNS-315 ended years ago, I wanted more functional sat-nav in the car, so the CarPlay support of the 360 - and its factory look - has worked well. I just need someone with VCDS to hemp me code out the reversing camera setting on it.

Windows, Mirrors and Doors Issues
Hi all, Looking at purchasing a 2010 Superb 2.0l SE at 160,000miles. Engine history looks confidence inspiring but it has a few electrical issues that are either a common fix, or a big deal, and I'm trying to work out if its worth taking the project on. Drivers (right hand) door only opens using key manually in lock. All other central locking works ok. Rear o/s door does not open from in or out (deadlocked) Both front windows and mirrors temperamental. Looks like the cables through the drivers door have a had small solder/fix at some point. Is this likely a simple DIY job with a new wiring harness, or a quick fix for an auto electrician, or might something larger be at play here? ordering a full loom? I have read the many similar threads on here, but its a bit of mission trying to decipher them all, so any advice much appreciated.

RNS 315 Fabia mk2 Retrofit
Hello, i recently purchased a RNS 315 with DAB and Bluetooth for a decent price to upgrade from the standard SWING radio that came with my 2011 fabia elegance. I have read about the CANBUS issues and how incompatibility would lead to a power draw issue that could lead to a flat battery, I scanned the CANBUS using VCDS and my version is 6N0 909 901 which i think is the older part and has issues with the RNS 315. When i install the RNS 315 it does seem to turn off when i take the key out of ignition, or atleast the screen turns off as i can still turn it on after using the power button, the MAXI-DOT screen does seem to recognise is as i can access navigation and phonebook tabs, the Bluetooth connection to my phone also turns off when the ignition key is taken out. I am not sure however if i can keep it installed as i fear a flat battery happening from a power draw problem as the radio does not recognise the car being off. I have purchased a "1.6- 2.0 CANBUS quadlock emulator" to hopefully test it out and prevent it from causing a flat battery hopefully. Has anyone had experience in this subject and can offer any information or help it would be appreciated.

SD cards and the Amundsen infotainment system.
Amundsen maps need to be on an SD card that had the correct ID so it is (or looks like) a genuine Skoda card (or it appears you can hack the Amundsen to accept maps any card) - I use a 32GB genuine card I got off eBay. Amundsen music can be on any SD card - I use a 256GB SD card.

Very wet carpets
I have spent a lot of time on this and made some progress. Firstly, for those who don't know (including my garage) the aircon drain tube exits into the transmission tunnel inside the drivers footwell, underneath the footrest ( same as Octavia (Screenshot_2019-05-22-21-35-34.jpg.9c10c83445932916cf97ab10ce1b31a2.jpg (1440×2560) Even though I had checked that water was draining from the scuttle under the windscreen, I took it all apart and found quite a bit! There was a build-up of debris (dense, like wet soil!) in front of the drain on the O/S, acting like a small dam. Just above there is a hole through the bulkhead, which should be sealed with a grommet - mine was missing. When I poured water onto the windscreen, which ran into the scuttle, it pooled in front of the 'dam' and whilst a lot went down the drain, quite a bit went through the hole into the drivers footwell just behind the accelerator pedal. I plugged the hole with a large amount of Bluetack, cover the whole area with Gaffer tapeand formed a really good seal - result no more leaking into car. I then removedthe mudflaps and prised the inner wheelarch covers away, to find a mass of 'compost' and dry leaves, mostly on O/S. Why this isn't part of the service schedule, say every 50k miles, I don't know. It would take a mechanic 10-15 minutes to do this and prevent a lot of problems. Having done all this andchecked the drain tube (shown in photo) was clear, I ran the car with aircon engaged and the drain tube end put in a bowl - water dripped in, so all seemed to be working, so reseated the tube end into the chassis hole and it then dripped out underneath the car. For the moment, I'm hoping it's all sorted. Placing towels etc. underneath the felt-type soundproofing under the carpets, to try to dry everything out. I'm now going for a beer and a lie down!!

SD cards and the Amundsen infotainment system.
Please explain. I'm O-L-D. 😁😁 What is 'Patch Unit'? If using anything other than a Skoda original/coded SD card, is it possible to use a card larger than 32Gb? (I have several ......)
