The irony in insisting that you report the corrosion "immediately", and then the stand-off with customer, the dealer, Skoda UK and the Motor Ombudsman then proceeds to last 3-4 years.

good start then!

When I was looking into it, I did find that even oil services include a body inspection, but it isn't there for the purposes of the body protection warranty and it isn't a requirement in order to make a claim. The extended scope servicing provides nothing that would materially change the situation, as it is all related to the mechanical parts of the car.

👍

will do!

Ok well seeing as no-one seems to be guessing any longer I'll put @Gaz out of his misery... Its a Jeep Renegade Longitude in flat white...

Do you have anything in writing? If you don't, you don't even know the dealer submitted the claim to Skoda UK. The classic wait a couple of days and then call the customer back to say it has been declined trick, don't fall for that one.

I tried Audi style dimming tailgate lights when indicators are on. I reverted changes but animation was lost and I can't get it back. At the moment I turned it completely off so it doesn't annoy me 😂. Odb 11 will be a fix once I get it. Apart from that Car Scanner is quite good tool for some adaptations but deeper coding like lane assist or matrix headlights its a no-no for it.

I'm not 100%sure but I think the right hand one stopped working and the left one could take a certain amount of the weight but not the full weight. I know this because if i lift it helping it would go up.

Yeah didn’t think bout that but it’s really very simple. You have to pop off a small piece of trim at the rear of the side window. Undo the 2 plug clips. Will be obvious which ones. Then follow the strut rubber sleeve and pull out of the bodywork. To remove the actually strut it’s held on by 3 retaining staples that you lever up but not off. This releases the socket off the ball on the car. Am sure there must be a video somewhere. If it helped Skoda local dealer wanted about 440 quid for the job. All in was about 20 mins and 50 quid on eBay

Nice evening one from our hotel in Menorca...

I can’t help with this issue directly I’m afraid. But I use carscanner too and have found the coding history to be a bit hit and miss. A good tip is to take screen shots of the standard code before changing anything then you have a record of what it was when you started. What were you trying to code originally that lost the animation?

Is there any advice on upgrading?

From this evenings walk............

I did this with carscaner. But in vcds you can also Superb 11/23 Vcds Gateway module 19 - Long coding - FPA function freilauf defaultON change value to "not active" Carscaner In bajt 9 uncheck number 4

I bought a used Octavia Mk2 (I think) from a dealer for px of my Citroen C3 piccaso that loved, and I am blown away by my Skoda !!

Thanks for updating us... Yes, the Scalas are nice too. Kinda flew under my radar for the longest time, but they've come to my attention lately... Good choice.

Hi All! Recently after some of coding sessions with Car Scanner on my Superb mk3 2020 2.0 TSI SEL I lost animation / swipe away on my tailgate lights when car is unlocked. When I lock it, it swipes away correctly, indicators are dynamic when used (hazard on, locking/unlocking or indicating)... First things first - I reverted changes in coding history but it changed nothing. I then started to adjust settings in Lightning adaptations. Sometimes it was causing animation to disappear completely, lights were constantly on or it would cause flickering so I gave up. My last set is in the screenshot. I also changed dimming value to 100 in case car will not accept 127. It did not work. Anyone had similar issue and got it sorted using Car Scanner? I am trying to get someone with obd11 or vscd to help me as I know its so much easier to get it right with text adaptations. Many thanks!

Greetings, I tried these sound settings one by one with Obdeleven on my 2022 škoda Octavia A8, but unfortunately nothing changed.

Cheers for it lads, I recorded a video of what you helped me get done, and a segue into what I still have to do: https://youtu.be/vMaZPU-n_KE

Hi, I’m looking at getting a Skoda Peaq and I’m trying to decide between getting the Sportline with relax and pan roof option or the Edition with standard or relax option. I’m 6 foot five and my concern is that the Sportline seats will be less comfortable than the Edition, but I am not sure. Comfortable seats are my priority. If there is no disadvantage with the relax seats in the Sportline I would go for that. I would welcome any advice. This will be a salary sacrifice lease car for three years so I am happy to order it unseen, because I like Skodas but I have not been able to find a dealer that has the car in stock to sit in it.

Unfortunately the one I pasted above is the full content of that page, there is no further information. I have no idea why the software version is blank.

I had a weird incident the other day. Boot was open and right-side boot lid sidelight was flickering/strobing. Closed the lid and it stopped on the way down never to have done it again. Tbh as long as I don’t have to spend what I guess is a stupid amount of money getting a replacement I’m happy.

I Have sent you a DM

The question came up about RoW so we went back to 453 RoW.... we just need 473 😉. Why 450 series started to be talked about since 453 had been found but not 473 and @viper42 told me how to read off the navigation FeCs in the file. That had been a ten year quest of mine to fine where they were stored in the file, not that you can change them in the file but in the unit.
