On kopacek.com they list them as fitting - fits ALL Octavia IV COMBI models they don't list anything for 4.5 and I would seriously doubt that Skoda changed the shape of the windows/doors seeing as it was basically just a facelift. It might be worth shotting them an email to check though... [email protected]

Hi again. Still have the same probleem.🙂 Does anyone with a Skoda Octavia IV (2020–2022), where Coming Home and Leaving Home are working correctly, have a VCDS measuring values log from 09 – Central Electrics (BCM)? I'm particularly interested in these values: Sensor_Error1 Sensor_Error2 Sensor_Error3 Sensor_Error4 On my 2021 Octavia IV, the first three values are 0, but Sensor_Error4 = 1. My Coming Home and Leaving Home functions are not working, even though the light sensor detects darkness correctly and the BCM adaptations appear to be correct. I'd like to compare these values with a working Octavia IV to see whether Sensor_Error4 = 1 is normal. If anyone could check these values or share their blockmap-09 CSV file, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

That is really helpful, Alisdair. Thank you very much. Nigel

Hi Had airbag warning light on last year and after a cost was reset, with no issues found. Recently it back on again, I had just take stuff to the local tip back seats were down ect. I feels this could be costly if I take it to garage and the same outcome. What should I do ? Recommendations? John

Thanks. I’ve ordered one. Will be good to see if there is a drain or if the battery is indeed on the way out.

He must have missed that the first time you posted it.

Your car is right hand drive.

Dealer / specialist job. They’ll know the workarounds without breaking anything. I had this happen in 2020, two months after getting the car when it went in for warranty work. The cable had slipped somewhere, the handle had zero tension and neither side would open. The dealer had it open and fixed in 30 mins with nothing broken at all. Oddly it wasn’t covered by warranty….🙄

Nope. My car by VIN is not in any recall. How is it possible? More quality bolts used?

When I see 9 years efb in diesel i am surprised. Maybe long distance driving. I have many short trips, stop and go. Original was efb OEM Varta, 59Ah, then i buyed 3 years ago new exide Efb 60 Ah. Now i see that Exide AGM 61Ah is cheaper than EFB 60Ah. It is 140€ and efb is 160€ Should i buy agm next? 1.5 tsi evo 110 kW.

Yes, I think I'm fighting Maxi-dot control and menu which is a software layer that may not be compatible. But ABS must still communicate with Instruments over CAN to set and clear dash warnings? "The ABS coding for Maxi-Dot control is different from that used with a hardware button." It would be nice to know which coding bits only relate to indirect ABS TPMS and link to ABS hard wired switch. MY07 V.W based on Golf V with working ABS TPMS and reset button has no coding clues I can find to enable it or make changes. I'd expect the basic system to be pretty dumb - ABS controller hardware and software does the work and sums, then sends a warning lamp 'on' to the dash, cleared by the switch and control inside ABS

I took delivery of my 6 months old 5000 mile Enyaq Coupe a few days ago. As I fully expected the Skoda Wipers are poor. I've been researching the Bosch Aerotwin part no's expecting it to be as easy as it has been on my other Skoda's but lots of confusion out there. Some sites saying A027S is the correct pack then reviews saying they don't fit RHD cars. So can anyone confirm the correct part number for UK cars please? Thanks.

Yes, that looks the same as the one I got, much better sound.

Perfect thank you so much this helps greatly, would alloy TT arms be an upgrade? I haven't touched anything suspension wise yet, just remapped and an exhaust now my warranty has ended. So there will be lots more questions I am sure. If there is anything you would recommend please say, you said about the ARB any ideas?

Thanks - I tried to provide a link to the £11.59 AliExpress advert I found, but, as its URL-length is very long, I used my usual URL-shortening app to cut its length down. I checked, after posting my comment, that the shortened version was OK, but it did not work, so I edited it out. Hopefully, using a different URL-shortening app, this link does work. https://shorturl.at/TE9KS (And it seems to...)

My original battery went suddenly after 5 years - I nudged the car forwards to get into the boot then it wouldn't start again. I put that primarily down to my work commute being only 5 miles. I now tend to put the battery on charge when I'm not going to use it for a few days over the winter months to try and keep it in shape. Oddly I find that S/S isn't a good indicator of anything on my car - I can do a long run with the heater and A/C off and the windows open and it just keeps the engine running with the message about high power drain. Another time I can pop out with the heater and A/C on and it'll start operating after a few minutes. 99% of the time I turn it off on startup though.

Something to do with alloy being hot and expanded so less chance of snapping glow plug if the threads had seized . Alloy expands more than steel so threads would be easier to remove. The addition of oil around them for a few days when running car allowed oil to penetrate threads. He was an old diesel mechanic with 60 years plus experience. Alas he is no longer around but was an excellent mechanic who you could go to with any problem and he would help. Alasdair

This thread might help, but don't hold your breath... https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/529547-media-in-cable-for-ipod-on-mk4/ Alternatively, get a physically small USB-C memory stick, copy the music to it, and plug it into one of the two ports in the centre console. The above link talks of the media format, playlist format etc.

Hi @Lee01 , Thank you very much for the warm welcome and for sharing the PDF! I really appreciate your help. I'm currently working on a few OEM retrofits for my 2001 Fabia Mk1, so the electrical diagrams will definitely come in handy. I'll have a look at the PDF and open a separate topic in the Fabia section for my technical questions. Thanks again! Cheers!

That's exactly where I got it, and yes, it's very easy to fit. BIG improvement.

I stuck a genuine AGM in mine - I've had enough battery problems. IIRC I wasn't able to do mine with OBD11 as it was a locked gateway/SFD and needed ODIS. SFD wasn't rolled out until 2020 so you should be fine - just a note for anyone reading this in the future.

It does all fit - the alu subframe is standard on the A3 and S3. I'm not sure what you've already done, but it would make sense to get some droplinks and do the ARB and such while you've got it all apart. You don't need alu arms, but something like the standard caster SuperPro LCAs are a nice upgrade for longevity with the polybushes. If you want to splash out, SuperPro, RL, 034 and others all make alu arms with nice bushings. I know the TT arms are alu, but not sure about the Passat. Either way, there are better options than OE - @travs went for... Delphi?

A) I meant in Europe (there is no recall in the UK as no RHD are affected, apparently) and B) as above, there are recalls in the EU.

Have you formatted them using exFAT, FAT32 or NTFS? I seem to remember that they need to be in FAT32.
