Not sure what the exact calc for ash loading is, but it involves both number of regens and mileage. What's the mileage on each car/engine? In any case, if there are no signs of restriction in the exhaust (power loss, increased fuel consumption, regen completion issues etc.), the large amount of "accumulated ash mass" is just imaginary, there is far less ash in the DPF in reality. It is just a number / counter in the ECU which by the way can be adapted to a smaller value with VCDS, at least on earlier engines like CAYC. I honestly think that ash number was just put there to cover backside in case of clogged DPFs over the car's life, and also to force replacing DPFs latest at a certain mileage / after certain number of regens or both. The correct way to evaluate amount of ash would be to measure and average pressure loss after completion of each regen and indicate that DPF pressure loss post regen is getting on the high side, but my guess is that given varying temperatures and gas flow, the exhaust sensors used for it are either not accurate or not reliable enough, especially after many years of use / high mileage.

We don't use our Karoq much between trips to the continent. Last time we went in June/July we got the update message virtually every day. There ws never a message to say updated complete. The only odd thing I found was that at some time the settings for the cruise control were changed, causing me some concern, but that was soon corrected. We have just returned from another trip when again we get the message virtually every day, someimes more than once a day. Always accepted but nothing else. Having reset the headlight aim in the Channel Tunnel train, and gone back into settings to ensure the change was actually set, when I came home and tried to set back for UK, it was already on left side running. Whether the 'updates'had reset something in both cases, who knows. We had l Iittle need of headlights apart from tunnels, but I did do two or three ~10 mile trips in the dark and nobody flashed me! I would like to ask my agent but while away I received an email saying that, as of 30th September, ie Wednesday, they are no longer Skoda agents and service is being transferred to a local VW agent. Great! So what to do next? Had an MOT booked but doesn't look like that will be happening!

Bumping old topic but this video extremely useful in having an idea on best way to get door apart and give maximum length of loom to work with. Not a job for the faint of heart or unsure with electrical.

Hi, I've been on Briskoda for just over 4 years but on the Superb forum. Tomorrow I am getting my 2026 Karoq 1.5 TSI SE L Edition delivered. 3 Months old ex demo, so will be on this forum now a lot, to learn about it, and perhaps contribute a bit.

Best of luck with it!

Well, been on here for over 4 years now, contributed some, and learnt a lot more. But time to say goodbye. But not to Briskoda, just this forum. I am getting a 2026 Skoda Karoq delivered tomorrow, so will be migrating over to that forum. Thanks for all advice given here, it's helped a lot.

Could this 60g be a natural occurrence? The worst-case scenario is that oil gets into the DPF. If the 60 g is a value calculated from the regenerations, it could not have accumulated from the normal regeneration cycles. It is currently regenerating every 350 km.

Yep, another Autodoc never again here, on ATE Ceramic brake pads in my case, but fortunately sold them here to a fellow member.

Why? If valves are not stuck all four ways it is easy. I did not do laptop magic. Just gravity. Blocking pedal in down position is important. I would check if cable allows to connect another pump or look for extension on ali. Maybe brushes in motor are dirty, worn. Probabbly circuit sensing too much resistance or intermittent power supply.

I have the Solution and dont need help

DPF ash load primarily depends on mileage and the number of regens. While it is possible that on EU6 engines it is measured / derived from DPF pressure loss after regen (doubt it), at least on our 2012 Roomster's EU5 1.6TDI CAYC 105bhp engine the ash load is simply calculated and increased based on mileage and number of regens, no measurements involved. If you experience frequent regens, you will find ash load going up quickly even though there is no change in pressure readings around DPF, i.e. no actual ash.

Hello everyone I am new here. In the process of buying a 2012 5J Fabia RS Estate (We call them Wagons in OZ) looking to get some info and share my upgrade journey. I am a bit of a car collector/ hoarder with a lot of JDM and Euro oddities Regards Scott 3SpeedScottie

@mpg_cloud @Cairus If you need to update to version 0480 and activate CarPlay, send me a message.

Specifically, I am referring to this part I’ve marked in the photo.

I have the older Mk4 Octavia, so unfortunately I can't help you. But I wanted to add that disappearing functions from the infotainment menu is a problem which is suffered in the Mk4 too. Skoda really need to invest in some decent software techs

I’ve had a 2026 Octavia Sportline (1.5 TSI) since August. The configuration option on the Virtual Cockpit display—used to add or remove data—has disappeared. I’ve reset the infotainment system, but I still haven't been able to get that function back. I’m attaching a photo showing my hardware and software details. Can anyone help me?

Is this the kind of upgrade that you can tutorialise?

I sent you PM

Indeed, glove box unit must be replaced. I will send you PM.

I can do it for you, as I can see you are from Czech Republic and I am in Poland so shipping costs will not kill it... @CrazyWolf @Rocketeer125 check your PMs for MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0480T download link

I wrote a guide for connecting by UART should anyone need it in future.
