Yes.Thanks

Thanks, just what I wanted. In the meantime I cruised ElsaWin and was a bit surprised how hard it seems to get to both the module inside rear right boot cover and the horn itself, under the rear headlining. Diagnostics fault descriptors aren't always exactly what they seem. I've decided the least course of work is to access the rear parking module behind the right side boot cover which itself seems work, then probe the connector for the horn looking for resistance or capacitance. If I'm lucky the fault may be at J791 connector, if not I'll prove it's the horn, wiring or its connector if it has one. I liked the idea of putting a replacement somewhere easier to get to and I'll see if it can still be heard mounted behind a cover in the boot area. Thanks again.

Not sure on the superb but I had water in my old octavia. Combination of damaged/flatend door seal and also coming in behind door card. Alasdair

Found this on a Yeti forum. Might help its for a 2013 so I assume location is the same https://www.yetiownersclub.co.uk/threads/rear-parking-sensor-buzzer.16496/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic

New bolts arrived yesterday Febi 40112 smooth but bit stormy today. Gusts of 70mph and very wet. Ordered a new socket 3/4" drive to arrive today as all mine are 1/2" and looked out my 5 foot pole with 3/4 breaker bar but reckon it will be tomorrow before I attempt it. Thanks Alasdair

Good Morning and welcome Derk2d2, hope the car serves you well.

Your figures are right. One thing to watch when you redo them, as the smooth bolt has a set order and it's easy to get the 200 Nm stage wrong: 1. With the car on its wheels, crack the old bolt but don't undo it more than about 90°. 2. Jack it up so the wheel is off the ground, have someone hold the brake pedal, and take the bolt out. 3. Fit the new bolt and do the 200 Nm with the wheel still off the ground and the brake held. 4. Lower it onto its wheels, then do the final 180°. Don't move the car between taking the old bolt out and the final angle, because the bearing doesn't like carrying weight with the bolt loose. The smooth one is a stretch bolt, so use a new one each time rather than putting the 70 + 90 one back in. For the 180°, a long bar and an angle gauge makes it a lot easier, or mark the socket and the hub with paint and go half a turn.

This does not work on all cars. Open the car with the key remote. Physically open the boot, but have the rest of the doors closed. Lock the car using the key remote. Put the key in a faraday bag. Place the key/bag in the boot. Close the boot. Thanks. AG Falco

Hi, I have a Skoda Octavia estate '20 plate. In the centre console we have a 12v power socket. This used to be held in place by a small piece of black plastic/black glue(?) that used to go between the console itself and the metal of the socket. It was visible from the car, i.e. not underneath/inside the console itself. Over time this black surround/glue perished and cracked to the point where it has now come off completely and there is nothing holding the power socket in place. It just sits in a hole but is completely loose. Had anyone else experienced this? And/or does anyone know how to fix this? Suggestions online seem to talk about there being some sort of screw on ring on the back (inside the console) but I'm pretty sure ours doesn't have that and was just held in place by this shiny black surround. I'm also going that's the case as otherwise it'll mean removing the centre console which seems like a way bigger job. Any help, advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Ash

Dau has wiped the passenger side of my 2017 1.6tdi estate down another vehicle on the M1 (all safe thank god). I'm thinking just replacing the doors might be cheaper than getting them mended & there seems to be plenty on eBay. Clearly, the rear door is specific to the estate but what about the front? Are the saloon & estate the same? I can swap all the internals inc wing mirror so I'm assuming trim won't matter, just the race blue paint code. Simon

Thanks for the welcome to BRISKODA First time Škoder owner! 😁 Recent owner of a Škoda Octavia vRS 2.0 tfsi Mk3, looking for upgrade/improvement advice and help with a few ongoing issues. And if I can pass on any knowledge gained from the members of what looks to be a great forum, then all the better. Kind regards

@pab567 hi pls you can sent me the link to the MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0080L_8755 download. I have a massive problem with connecting ani android Phones and androidAuto. The USB connector is ok, cable is ok android & androidauto is uptodate. I don't know what else I can do.

ah, seems these HEROs have the vague guide I need! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRWqAoYIfCI

The springs lowered the car 20 mm. The rims r Rotiform LAS-R 19x8.5" ET35. Tyres r 245/40R19.

First check that the microswitch in the door is giving a signal to the system by checking that the door open icon is showing on the display when you open the door. Is the passenger door and rear doors the same?

App doesn't offer this functionality on older mk 4's, mine from 2020/21 isn't supported

Hello everyone. My question is: the interior lights don't come on when I open the doors. What should I check, and how? Could it be that the panel in the overhead trim needs replacing? Thanks to everyone for the help. @Isu1977 Kérjük, vedd figyelembe, hogy a Briskodán az angol az alapértelmezett nyelv. Hozzászólás írásakor kérjük, használj fordítóeszközt.

Went for Graphite Grey metallic. Staying low key, although was tempted by the velvet red!

Here is my UK 2026 2.0d 150 SE L. Love it so far. A few frustrations with some of the tech, but thats the nanny world we live in now I guess.

Hi there, thank you for accepting me. Its great to find an old school forum for the skoda. Just bought a mk2 Kodiaq Sel 2.0d 150 back in September so its a 2026. Loving it! Sold my 2014 mk7 golf in 2021, went to a focus estate, biggest mistake of my life! Glad im back in the VAG family. Looking forward to getting to know the community. Catch you soon.

Appreciate that! Always handy to know someone with tools like that

Typically you don’t bring 6 year old threads back…. That said are you doing long or town journeys? If short journeys then the first few miles when cold use much more fuel. Otherwise check tyre pressures and try replacing the fuel filter and air filter. The number of diesel’s see thumping out plumes of smoke, because the filters clearly haven’t been maintained. One other thing to check would be that the oil/filter have been changed and you’re not driving around with treacle in the engine.
