Did you have to do any sensor reset/adaptation with a scan tool after fitting new sensor?

Ah really??? Bugger ok thanks

I seem to remember the sachs and LuK parts don’t mix so you need all one or all the other.

I found the issue is now trying to find replacement hoses. A lot now do the simplified setup to remove as much as possible. Unsure if this is feasable for yourself? https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/155472-how-to-remove-delete-sai-n249-and-n112/

Sadly my 2.0 4x4 65plate is in the shop needing a new DMF/Clutch I was quoted £1850 from an AA garage in Swindon (see attached for breakdown) Managed to get the parts for total of just shy £500 And I have an ex VAG mechanic and his boy fitting it on the weekend for£300 I think that's the best I could hope for

I am in the process of replacing a nox sensor on my superb mk3 and after installation I will need to do a nox sensor reset/adaptation. I would like to get a scan tool such as iCarsoft VAWS V3.0 but I'm not sure if it can perform this function. Has anyone done this procedure and what scan tool did you use?

My mate has one. The rear window seals are a bit dodgy, but aside from that it’s a perfectly good little car. MOT history also isn’t everything - I’ve had two previous cars that turned out to be lemons, both with pristine MOT histories going back 6 and 8 years respectively.

I went from a Karoq SportLine to a Scala MC 1.5 DSG about 15 months ago and it’s the best decision I made and have zero regrets. Other than an occasional creaky binnacle (which I also had with the Karoq) I’m very happy with it. I’d hesitate to say it’s sporty but it’s rapid enough and handles well enough for me. Been on a few holidays in it, 4-up plus the dog and all the luggage and it handles it admirably, in fact the the kids (17 &18) both reckon it’s more comfy as a rear seat passenger than the Karoq was. Boot space is good, seats are comfy and apart from the occasional glitch the infotainment system works well (I use CarPlay as I find the native Škoda satnav truly awful). The only complaint from my wife is that the sun visor vanity mirrors don’t have a light but I can live with that. Is there anything specific info you’re looking for?

Hve you checked any fuse(s) that supply both G65 and air quality sensor?

I’ve heard a vw beetle carberator spring also fixes the issue.

Hi all. Fiancée got a Skoda fabia 2020 with android auto today. We connected her phone no problem and used the maps function and Spotify to drive home. Once we got home, we went back out to drive the new car. However, it hasn't connected since. Since then, We have factory reset her phone (S26 Ultra) We have factory reset the head unit We have rebooted the head unit We have removed updates on phone We have looked into a software update for the head unit We have unpaired and repaired via Bluetooth We have "forgot devices" on the car and her phone We have tried 4 different OFFICIAL data usb cables We have tried connecting my phone (note 13 pro Xiaomi) We have changed usb default settings We have disabled autoblocker on Samsung We have tried the battery optimization We have cleared data and cache for android auto and Google play services. Please help!

Did the harbour seals show up?

OK, dinosaur replying to my own problem here! Sorry to bother you all - I hadn't realised that the Android Auto hadn't transferred completely to the new phone, so having done an update on that, the system now seems to work. I'll find another question in due course, I'm sure. Thanks for reading anyway 🙂

Hello been reading and searching, would like to use auto android I have fabia mk3 2020 with radio MEN2_EU_SKGPX_P9160L MU:8742 is it really only option to rewrite EPROM with a clip? THX

Thanks. The wheel well was dry yesterday but it has been dry recently so I'll keep an eye out for that

Check for water in the spare wheel well - may have been solved in the face lift, but on the older ones it was a dodgy seal around the light cluster let water in.

Thanks for your reply. I don’t know how do I check?

Thanks! The filter didn't help so I may try an ECU reset.

Thanks guys. Yes Facelift version. It's in good nick generally with not much picked up on the MOT history other than a misting rear shock absorber and tyres getting low. Service history is pretty good up until the last year or so when usage has been very low mileage due to the owner being at Uni then heading off to Oz. It's also got no rust around the fuel filler and drives well with no undue noises. The place I'm getting it from is actually a neighbour's S/H car dealer but I never knew until yesterday. They'll service it sort the tyres, MOT it and sort the shockers if needed. So we've pulled the trigger and put a deposit down. Will look to thoroughly underseal around the filler flap and sort arch liners when I get my hands on it, and I'm looking for a auto headlight sensor switch, mudflaps, a parcel shelf and a couple of other bits for it...

Loving the way these pics went together on my phone: Unexpected footwear for a pheasant!

A few from this evening.

Hi all. Back after a long period away. After 12 years with my Octavia VRS Tdi 184 Combi, it's time to change. I've been looking at the Kamiq and the Scala but find I'm drawn to the Scala a little more. Before I decide, any real world feedback on the Scala would be appreciated. Thank you.

evening all I'm having some issues with my ICE system when it is connected to iphone on car play it randomly stops playing the music and starts making a loud buzzing sound instead - I wonder if an update oin the firmware may fix?? is anyone able to help or at least tell me where I can get or send me a copy of the most recent update? DPN - 5Q0035874C Hardware - H41 Software - 0456 Thanks Gizz

After OTA software upgrade, my car started to show the SOS call limited error message. When checking with OBD11 it reported Battery Service Life Critical (I believe that is 5-year time based and a sneaky money making trick by VW group) and Battery Flat errors. Read widely online that this costs upwards of £400 for Skoda to fix. I brought the replacement battery 3G0 915 089. Did not trust AliExpress units enough, so paid £130 for the original. Skoda price is about £100, but out of stock. Instructions are exactly the same as many YouTube videos about doing it for VW ID4. Pull up rear bench seat by hand. Pull back carpet quite far. Pull out the communication unit. Slide it out of the plastic cover. As the connectors are rather fiddly I did not undo all of them (only the power and data). Replaced the battery and put it all back together. Then drove the car for 2 days to make sure the new battery was fully charged. Then used ODB11 to reset error messages, (in the OBD11 'Apps' menu, it is called 'Emergency Call Battery Reset'. This costs £29 it tokens. Error message is gone. About an hour of work.

many thanks to you for help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
