check the wiring inside the rubber tube that goes from the door to the door post on the car. the wiring can break in there and cause intermittent problems

Examples please of a D-Segment large SUV EV with low deposit and low / no final payment that doesn't come with a double figure interest rate? I'm struggling to find anything like the offers you suggest are out there... eg a typical PCP on a low spec second hand 4 year old Enyaq with about 40k miles on the clock seems to come in at about £300 per month with an up-front payment of £3k, a final payment of £6k (if you want to keep the car) and over 10% interest, meaning paying almost £5k in interest on a £17k car with potentially nothing to show at the end... In my book that's stupid?

Is it possible to replace coils (front/back) to give it more lift (ground clerance) My car has: 0YE/1JA coils ends with M (level 5) for rear and weight category front L08 It is 4x4, diesel. 3q051115aAT 5q0411105HS are the coils for Superb Alltrack, is it possible to swap the coils and schokbsorbers to make some elevation and stiffer suspencion?

There was a page somewhere on the forum where you could download the flash files for the infotainment (3rd party so comes with some risk) and instructions for how to do it. Does anyone know if this can be used for the Superb infotainment too?

Evidently you didn't follow instructions. Re-do and follow instructions.

Look after the pennies and the hundreds of thousands will look after themselves. (As long as you do some intelligent tax planning and tax avoidance, the legal one not evasion) !

I'm also getting the daily update messages and have been for some time, the car is fully connected with active Care Connect & Infotainment Online services but no OTA update for me so far. I've begun to ignore the messages.............

Fingers crossed, let us know. 🙂

Yes I suspect the actual part is NA from Skoda but a Skoda dealer has directed me to VW dealer who it seems may have the part as they show as having that part number in stock so am beginning to think as the diesel engine in my Skoda was originally used in the diesel Golf GTI VW parts may possibly be what I can try and track down.

Haha, you're sounding like a right old Ebenezer guy 😁

Negative prices for charging EV and home use 0930 to 1530 ie 6 hours of getting paid to charge EV, heat water, do washing, charge home batteries, yummy. https://agile.octopushome.net/dashboard All helps on the all up running cost.

Nah there are C segment EV cars for a lot less than multiples of £150. For example.. (Was out some months ago but the deals do rotate across Stellantis cars). Not sure about D segment cars as great monthly payment deals which also have incredibly low running costs ie total cost of ownership all up per month. Under £300 a month i would expect. The good deals come and go. Last 2 Skodas I and family have had have been money pit. One diesel Fabia and one petrol Fabia. Thousand pound fixes for thermostats / water pumps, timing chains etc. Regular expensive servicing, two or three times the cost I now pay for the EV servicing. No MOTs, cheap road tax for the first year. No worry about any cost if something goes wrong. Peace of mind. Doesn't sound stoopid to me. Footnote. Note sure I would buy a Stellantis car as they seem to have the same worrying news about them as VAG ie sinking in to loss making, job shedding and their future looks dodgy. I would pick another marque which is a shame as VW / SEAT / SKODA looks like they have finally made a good EV with the Epiq, Polo, Ravel. Too little too late.

6Q as the start of the part number suggests first model to use it was 9N (4th generation, from approx 2001) Polo, I think. You might well be able to create a lookalike replacement out of bits and pieces donated from a few different ones.

Seriously??? Are you trying to tell me that a £150 PCP lease on a Dacia Spring / Leapmotor T03 / Citroen Ami or similar is an equivalent replacement for what I currently drive? Don't be so stupid. Anything worthwhile as a replacement is multiples of £150 per month and would also require a hefty up-front deposit of thousands... plus as a PCP I'd have a very hefty final payment to make at the end of it otherwise the vehicle would have to be handed back. So effectively just throwing money away. As for repair costs out of warranty - my personal experience is that they are very minimal if you choose the right car carefully.

Hi pikpilot, Thanks for the reply. I thought that would eb the case re bluetooth. Great, I can just ignore the phone when it rings, haha. I have another SD card and will format that and see what happens. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't work, but heyho as they say.

I have the exact same system. I have no problem with an SD card but I did have to format it first so try reformatting your card if you have noy already tried that. As an aside, I had an SD card that had been used in a security system and when I tried to format it again for other uses it kept on reporting "damaged storage" when used for audio. The SD card plus 6 CDs gives a large collection of music. In addition there is a aux-in socket in the central storage box which allows you to input more sounds from an external device. There is no blutooth connection for a phone. An expensive option was another box under the drivers seat for phone connection. Personnally I prefer not to be on the phone whilst driving.

It is quite likely that these steering rack bolts are 'stretch' type - AFAIK, inox bolts might not work in that case.

My Skoda scala informant screen is just stuck on loading and the ecall is blank, I have tried everything at home but it’s still stuck in that loop, I have tried resetting, pulling fuses and battery disconnect but it’s still not working, I heard this is a common problem? Any advice would be appreciated, many thanks

Still await one reply but Europarts say they can get it. Have also been given a lead on a VW dealer who may have it as the Farbie VRS diesel was powered I understand with an old Golf GTI diesel so hopefully it may use the same parts.

Hope you get sorted 👍🤞 Let us know how you get on. Delivery will always be a killer from some of the European countries - it sucks.

New upgraded bolts told to have better anticorrision protection. Some polimer shield. But i think Inox bolts will be better. Earlier versions like on xour car had 4 bolts holding steering rack. Mqb2 have only 2 of them. Economy?

Thanks, do you know what I need to change? Remove byte 7 but do I need to change anything else?

We can find you a crashed S3 and get the subframe from that. Don't forget to change your signature - standard rear pads, RS3 brake ducts, Rieger rear diffuser, the new droplinks/LCAs/FARB and, of course, the modified helicoil gearbox casing.
