And, I never said it was did I? The cameras can be networked together and perform a dual role. Local authorities use ANPR to bill you for driving if your car is not compliant with emissions. The government need your registration details, which can again be extracted from speed cameras, average speed cameras and LEZ cameras, as they all use ANPR. It really is not hard to think these points through; and look at the possibilities. As always, all I'm doing is thinking about things and not just accepting everything we are told as 100% factual. That way I'm not caught out if it happens, and as always, it will be proven one way or the other in due course who was right and who was wrong.

The error keeps coming back. Now I'm waiting for a new USB port with cables.

Hi @pab567, could you please send me MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490? My unit is 5E0035812A, current train MSTD_EU_SK_P3163 / MU0421. Thank you!

My car is model year 2025, so is restricted by SFD2, which it is not yet possible to unlock, much to my annoyance.

Too dim for that

PRICE DROP £13,750 GREAT BARGAIN!

Unfortunately I don't have recent enough circuit diagrams for Superb to cover this engine code.

Local Authority,s / Councils. It is not the Treasury or Governments getting the cash money / income from ULEZ / LEZ or Average speed cameras is it?

Apologies I think I remembered this from a Golf perhaps!!

There could well be a simple explanation regarding this, and again, I'm not saying it is, but there are such things as creative accountancy, which is nothing new at all. Or maybe, just maybe, the low-emission zones were always planned as part of something else altogether, and possibly TFL gave the game away when they were advertising for staff to run the LEZ for, I believe, Coventry. That is nowhere near or has anything to do with London, yet they are involved, and the job description mentioned road pricing was the goal. So with that in mind, are all of these LEZs with their network of roadside cameras the preparation for the PPM scheme by networking these cameras and new ones being installed, like the massive growth of the Average Speed Camera installations, even on normal 2-lane roads such as the A414 between Chelmsford and Harlow, which is already operational now? After all, the government knew that with EVs they were going to be missing out on the income from fuel duty, so was this the back-door entry into PPM? If they announced that it was their intention to introduce PPM, it might have derailed their electrification plans. It has to be considered that LEZs could effectively have been planned as Trojan horses.

It'll be interesting if they say the same as others have been told, Keep us posted.

Thanks good to know... I will email the service manager at my local garage and see if he gives the same feedback but I guess it's the mostly likely answer.... Agreed, it's starting to get a little annoying now... Gabbo

Massive thanks to everyone in this thread for hosting the files and providing instructions on how to do this update manually. I went from version 1810 to 1989 without issues (so far at least) in my 2020 Octavia. The old version was slow and had a few bugs so was a welcome update, the new version feels much snappier. From start to finish took 45-50 minutes plus a factory reset straight after. My car for some reason did not get OTA updates and I even asked my Skoda dealer for help as it felt risky but they just said "we don't do that" which feels crazy. The car is great but the support from Skoda less so and the documentation isn't very clear either in the manual or on their website. I'll add pics in case anyone is interested in part numbers and the like.

Thread revival. No point IMO on a new thread since it is about Harry. Security is a private matter, the Prime Minister says so. Lets see just what Security the Prince and Family does get as the travel on the Kings Highways. The dude himself as a War Hero who admitted to how many he killed from his seat up in a helicopter. Surely he has a very high price on his head.

Many report jerkiness, often motoring journalists & often those new to a DSG. As it is they are fitted to a big variety of engines, power outputs from 69 bhp to over 300 bhp. Funnily the same vehicle might be jerky off the line with one driver and not with another. Best to comment might be driving instructors that teach in cars with a DSG. There are 3 of these i know on on this forum.

So if, in the short delay before the brakes come off, the throttle is pushed further, then a larger throttle input is applied when the ECU actually sees the brakes off and causes the perceived possible jerkiness!. More details, all very useful thanks @NottsIan. Your last sentence is, I think, the reason for many reported DSG jerkiness issues. Applying too much throttle before the clutches have had a chance to engage, in the extreme severe wheelspin.

I'm still getting the Application update every day, its probably been 2 months now, I've done a lot of Googling on the subject and found its a Skoda wide problem, happens on any model, it seems owners are being told by Skoda dealears that Skoda are aware and there should be a new update to sort it, most have been told that there's nothing the dealer can do, either because they need to see the update trying to install, or basically even they have to wait for the new Skoda update. I have read of a couple of cases where they claim they sent theirs in and it was sorted, but nearly all have said they've been told it can't be sorted. I have refrained from ringing Skoda because I have a pretty good idea of what I'll be told, but after 2 months now its getting pretty frustrating it popping up every day.

The Low Emission Zone in Glasgow is certainly not about money making. It costs more to administer than it brings in. But then people should learn or change their vehicles and stop being fined. Not everyone can get away with failing to pay time after time. Plenty still do though.

I have had the same problem for the last 4-5 weeks. Every morning after driving the car & coming to the first set of tafffic lights, I am promoted to "update applications". It doesn't specify which applications but after 20 minutes I have a notification that. Registration is updated User manual is updated Application is updated Some applications won't be available until the vehicle is restarted... Originally I thought it was just multiple updates 1 after the other that have been released by Skoda. However after it didn't stop, I have been checking the versions of all of the applications & the shop application id always on the same version afterwards. I'm fairly sure the installation is failing each time. Did anyone resolve it? I'm sure a service around November so will ask them to fix it then but would be great if I could fix it myself before.

Hi. I have a 2021 Skoda Superb iV and I'd like to change the front 12V cigarette lighter socket so that it only comes on when the ignition is turned on. Having read some articles I believe I should be able to move the fuse for the socket to another location, but I'm not sure what fuse to move, and to where. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not going back through this thread but it seems that ULEZ was about clean air and healthier people and not a money making scam after all.

With auto-hold , the release of the brakes is pretty instant , I would think its just a solenoid holding the brake pressure. The problem may be that it doesnt release until the throttle is applied, but initially when the brake is on, the ECU will prevent any throttle input going to the engine. So if, in the short delay before the brakes come off, the throttle is pushed further, then a larger throttle input is applied when the ECU actually sees the brakes off and causes the perceived possible jerkiness!.

It’s a weird one guys. Sounds like it comes from both front and rear wheels, sounds like rattling suspension. Taken to Skoda last week, nothing wrong apparently, even had to pay £100 for the trouble. Checked for suspension transport blocks and top mounts for they reported all is fine. It’s driving us mad which is such a shame as we absolutely love the car apart from this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 2025 Sportline 1.5 MHEV covered 16k miles.

It's to stop water getting dripping down. So I would keep a look out for another part. I also used some vaseline on the part that clips in to make it easier to remove next time.
