Not keen on that colour personally and I don’t like the look of the facelift model as much. MIB3 as well which can be quite buggy

Depends where you are, as I’m based in the South East. Drop me a message!

Damn - that’s surprising, sorry. I know Awesome GTI and Powerflex themselves don’t have them, but you should be able to get them. Is there any word on how long?

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202610167041901?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app This is the low mileage one. Anyone on here recognise it? A proper history background would be nice. But then it doesn’t have the other options, the paint needs a pro mop quoted starting from £700 depending on scratch depths and damage. Looks good in the photo, but up close so disappointing. And it’s a bit too bling, I’m more for an understated paint job. Electric blue, I thought it was Cobalt blue. Think Audi called this Nogaro blue on the RS4 B5 I had a midnight blue S4 as even then the nogaro was too bling.

Perhaps see if you can negotiate them fixing the advisories if you pay asking price. Make sure you show us some pics if you do buy one!

Glad you got it sorted and impressed on the effort of coming back after 4 years to post the solution!

Personally I’d go with higher mileage for the options.

Hi! 🚗 I'm looking for people with a VW / Audi / Škoda / SEAT / CUPRA to test my VAG Diagnostic app (Android). So far I've mostly tested it on a bench with a simulator, and now I need readings from real cars. The test version only reads data: it detects control units, part numbers and fault codes. It does not clear faults, code anything, or change any car settings. The test takes about 10–15 minutes. What you need: • an Android phone, • an ELM327 Bluetooth OBD adapter (e.g. Vlink); Wi-Fi adapters won't work, • a VW group car, ideally from around 2012 onward (Golf 7, Octavia III, A3 8V, Leon III and newer). Older cars are useful too. 📥 Download the app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-jvtmcPDvu_mjCv1VXyD7VxkI3PqVS8l/view The current version is tester-2 from 4 November. The app is available in English, German and Polish, and it automatically switches to your phone's language. How to run the test: 1. The car is standing still, ignition on, and the adapter is in the OBD socket and paired with your phone. 2. In the app, tap the OBD connection card at the top, then "Connect" next to your adapter. 3. Choose "Full diagnosis." The first time, press "Activate PRO test" (it's free, you're not buying anything), then press "Full diagnosis" again. 4. Press "Run Auto-Scan VAG UDS," then "Run full Auto-Scan UDS," and wait until it finishes without locking your phone. 5. Press "Show result and fault clearing," take screenshots of the result, and go back with the arrow. 6. Press "Copy diagnostic log" and paste it to me in a private message or by email at [email protected]. Add the car, year, engine, gearbox and adapter. 🔒 The app masks the VIN and serial numbers in the log by itself. In the screenshots, cover the VIN if it's visible. Please send logs to me privately, not to the group. ⚠️ Don't use clearing in "Engine diagnostics" or "OBD Terminal," since Auto-Scan is enough for this test. Scan only with the car standing still. If you have VCDS, OBDeleven or Carista, please also send a screenshot of their fault list. That comparison would help me a lot. A log from a failed scan is valuable too, so send it freely. Thanks for your help! 🙏

So now you got no vibration at all?

First of all, thanks for all the input in this thread. I know it's been a while, but I finally found the root cause of the problem and wanted to share my findings. The problem turned out to occur almost exclusively on hot summer days. I suppose that explains why it didn't happen very often, considering I live in Sweden! Then the car started draining the battery. When I measured the current draw, I discovered that the infotainment system was consuming power even when the ignition was switched off. At the same time, the infotainment fault was still present. You were right that the problem was related to the CAN bus for the infotainment system. When I scanned the control units, the infotainment unit wasn't even detected. When I measured the CAN bus at the back of the infotainment unit, there was no voltage. About two years ago, I had problems with the electric tailgate actuator. Back then, I discovered broken wires in the moving wiring harness near the actuator. So this time, I removed the rubber boot for the bigger cable harness and found several wires with cracked insulation and broken conductors.

So the low mileage one 25K is 1K GBP more, built within a few months of each other Doesnt have DSG paddles, road sign recognition camera, drivers seat massage and has 19 inch rims rather than 18s. Massive difference in price and I have a trade account with a massive tyre wholesaler. The higher mile one has the above options 1K less but digging into its history, it had a cracked sump and lost oil to point red pressure light was noted but immediately turned off. Sump was replaced at a dealer and no issue reported since. Has the much cheaper tyres better colour but note on last mot for front lower arm bushes rear worn but not displaced or causing excessive movement. Im going to buy one or the other this weekend unless something else comes up.

Hi, Take a look at the thread I've mentionned in Superb Mk3 forum. Problem solved for me with version 339 or so (see one of my last messages).

Apologies if this has been covered by I can't find an answer. I'm new to both Octavias and rear fog lights. I have a 2011 Octavia estate and am installing a Quasar WH2Q-S-G7 bypass relay for a trailer. Everything is connected and working except the rear fog light connection. I can see that there is only one wire for the running/rear fog light and the light somehow brightens when the fog light switch is activated. How should the rear fog light wire from the bypass relay be connected? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Definitely much cheaper without it!

Radio - no auto power off setting Starter probably is power hungry Blower and lights don't seem to dim or turn off. Dash lights, backlight remain. Radio reboots after cranking but on a few occasions it did not. I told wife it defaults to standby sometimes so it wouldn't come back on. I've ordered radio loom to smooth out voltage drop. I'll report back.

Here!

It may have all electric with the same pr code. I'm pretty sure I read when they changed from electrohydraulic to full electric they kept the same pr number 1n1 for standard steering and 1n3 for speed variable. Main worry would be that where is the fluid coming from. Does it look like engine/Gbox oil or maybe brake/clutch fluid. Alasdair

Yes. Typical problem is either FEC/SWaP corruption or EMMC failure. Pls go to service menu (long press MENU button) and check what are installed FEC/SWaP codes and if they are valid.

Hi all, Android Auto worked fine in my Fabia Mk3 until 7 November 2026, then stopped. I hadn’t made any changes. I’ve been through everything I can find and I’m stuck. Unit Skoda Fabia Mk III, Bolero (MIB2 Standard, Technisat) SW train: MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0369T Symptom Android Auto on the phone detects the car and tells me to go to the head unit to continue. The head unit then abandons the connection and drops. The screen shows MirrorLink, then it disconnects. It then re-initiates the sync over and over and never gets anywhere. It’s the same across multiple phones and multiple cables. I’ve cycled through the cables. I suspect something at the protocol level. What fails Samsung S24 Ultra, wired, with several known-good cables Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), wired: Android Auto won’t initialise Two different plug-in Wi-Fi Android Auto dongles: each one attempts, sees the phone, then abandons iPhone (a passenger’s) over Bluetooth: it pairs, the car presents it and there’s a handshake of some sort, but audio and other functions won’t connect. The passenger tried several times without success.

Similar threads I’ve found pab567 on a Fabia Mk3 where Bluetooth suddenly stopped: the BT module is built into the glove-box unit and may be faulty. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/profile/112491-pab567/content/page/22/?type=forums_topic_post P0369T to P0480T refused with “dependencies of update not met”: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/536550-cant-uppdate-from-p0369t-to-p0480t/ A P0369T reflash on a Fabia stuck in a Retry/Skip loop: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/534939-infotainment-update/ My questions Has anyone had Android Auto, Wi-Fi dongles and Bluetooth all fail together on a Bolero, with the sync looping like this? What fixed it? Is there a way to force a reinstall of P0369T without VCDS? Does this point to a failed glove-box unit, or something at the protocol level? Thanks.

I have the same problem. The issue seems to be the InstallerVersion field in Data/fileCopy.ext-stationdb-sqlitedb-base/0/installer.txt. They have incorrectly changed it from 328.2.11 to 1.31.70 after computing the hashes for the files to match the old versioning scheme. As expected, this changes the hash and thus it no longer matches and the system refuses to accept the file. This seems to only affect "MIB3 OI" or "MOI3" units, others are fine. I've attached the corrected file for 1.31.70 where I changed the version back to 328.2.11 and the hash now matches again if someone wants to test, just drop it Data/fileCopy.ext-stationdb-sqlitedb-base/0/ on the SD card and you should be good to go. I also send an email to Phonostar with the details. Both, 1.31.66 and 1.31.70 are broken. 1.31.64 works fine. installer.txt

I had one of these as my first car. Excellent choice!

I like it - it gives the car a completely different feel. They didn't the settings quite right being far too soft naturally, which the DCC Slider Mod resolves, but it really adds to the character of the different profiles. Comfort really soaks up rough road, while Sport makes it much firmer and it responds really well. But if a great car came up and it didn't have it, it wouldn't be a gamechanger. Its nice to have variety but we ultimately tend to hone to what we like and leave it at that. Try with and without and see what you think.

As I asked in another post, I'm looking how to enable GEM, I need it to try enable Android Auto.. I've no cable, is there any way to do it via SD?
