Hi, One of my friends faced that with an Opel Corsa in the early 2000's. We finally found a leak at the lower edge of the windscreen. There was a thin hole in the windscreen bonding. I suggest having a look there.

Once fooled by Autodoc too. Never ordered again. Neverminds if I pay a bit more as long as there's no bad surprise.

Hi, I'll check if I have 0334 version too, but I had the same updates twice today. 🙄 A bit irritating in the end...

You can have a look over the User Manuals (https://www.skoda-auto.com/apps/manuals/Models) The main differences are the implementations of GSR2.0 Phase 3 (enforced as of July 2026). I think the requirement that impacts the end-user the most is the implementation of Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) (camera-based, sensor located in the rear-view mirror), which can be annoying to some. It is the same system implemented already in the latest-gen Superb and Kodiak. The answer I received from the Skoda Infoline regarding a similar question: "All Octavia vehicles produced from calendar week 14/2026 onwards are compliant with GSR2 Phase C"

Hi guys - I can still move the seat around but when I come to use the memory setting buttons - nada. So does this mean it's not a fuse issue? If not what else could be the problem?

I got this today from the dealership where I purchased my Karoq: We have a truly amazing opportunity for you - starting 9am, Friday 18 September. For 10 days only, we are giving you the chance to purchase a brand-new Škoda at cost price. Yes, the very same price that we pay! This exclusive, limited-time offer has been made possible due to an unexpected release of only 150 brand new 76 reg vehicles, made available to us by Škoda UK for sale in September. Due to these exceptional savings, we anticipate high demand for these vehicles so we are limiting to one purchase per household. Orders must be placed between 18 and 27 September and delivery by 30 September to qualify. As always, our team will be on hand to assist you with any enquiries and ensure a seamless experience. Anyone else getting these 'out of this world' sort of treatment?

Hi, I haven't fixed any of these yet, DFM wire is still disconnected.. But I don't think I've run into any issues so far; do you know what kind of situation this might lead to?

You're welcome.

Thanks for the help @Graham Butcher Much appreciated. 🙂

Look to see if there's a wire coming from any of the inner brake pads.

The module lives under driver's seat on a RHD T5, and they do suffer condensation problems on the non-waterproofed loom connections. This particular unit has several corroded connector pins, so some shorting may well have occurred. Also, it's around 20 years old so the relays will have 'lived a bit'.

Hi my brake pads seem to be well worn my fabia mk4 has done 2k miles and has DSG transmission

OK, forget the PJ53 part, that is just code to identify the the manufacturer, who does not seem to be around any more. The import part of the number is GS1J which is 1A diode with a reverse voltage withstand of 600V.. That means that any diode with that code of GS1J will be a direct replacement. The concerning thing is why did it explode in the first place, it might well do the same again if you replace it. From experience on a VW Passat, this module is located in a compartment in the front passenger footwell, and they can suffer from moisture ingress as the floor pan rusts away. So it might be the moisture that caused it to explode. The only place I can see that has any is an eBay seller, link to it follows, Price is £3.55 and postage is £2.75. If you can locate either a GS1K (800V) or a GS1M (1,000V) then they would also be a suitable replacement. GS1J/SMA DIODE GEN PURPOSE 600V 1A SMA GS1J-SMA 'UK COMPANY SINCE 1983 NIKKO' | eBay UK

I think that you are correct in it being a diode https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/188542129948 Just make sure that you get the correct physical size. It looks like an SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount diode package with a nominal body dimension of 4.4 x 2.7 x 2.3 mm

If it got worse wen turning it may well be a bearing or perhaps a inner/outer cv joint? Perhaps a second opinion as you said. Alasdair

I’ve never had my car update it’s main OS over the air

Does everyone wait until it appears on mibhelper https://mib-helper.com/index.php?train=MOI3_EU_SKMQB_P32400P

I apologise as I am sure the answer is in the forums, but there a lot of conflicting posts I have a Superb, PHEV 2020, SE-L. The stereo has gone insane. First it had terrible connectivity issues, then it kept turning off the mic? Crazy. Now though, it reboots the whole unit every 45-60 seconds. Black screen, back to the Skoda logo - just like I'd held down the power button. I tried resets, pulling the fuse etc, but it's to no avail. Any ideas? Is it software/firmware first? This seems to be expensive to do at a garage, and they said there was no guarantee of a fix. Skoda apparently want £3k to replace the unit? I could buy a plus center unit, but I'm worried it will be shiiiiiit. Thoughts? Cheers Skoda hivemind!

Convenience control unit (central locking plus alarm) from a VW T5 transporter. See 2nd post.

It is a diode, I'll go through my data sheets for info and hopefully be able to identify an equivalent item. What is it from?

I contacted 5 services and all said they do not install or update the navigation and the map. Actually you can be sure that you know the subject far more better than them. So i can not get help from them as they know nothing from the issue. I will look vw site, i hope i find the solution. As you suggested i tried chatgpt and it gave me a link of Turkey map if it is correct. But, the link does not work. The link: OI_P169_TUR_202612_Offline_Update.zip

Context is adjacent to relays in a convenience control module. So flyback diode type thing I suppose. This one exploded a bit.

Any experts in the house? Think it's a diode, maybe SOD124 package given the measurement (a smidge over 4mm for body itself). Not finding anything convincingly correct from the markings. Assistance appreciated. 🙂

There's coding available so that you can code your infotainment to recognise 2 phones at the same time, perhaps that would help with this issue too?

In the Skoda parts catalogue, the Superb MK3 estate 4x4 (standard ride height) has the same ten rear springs listed as the Superb MK3 estate FWD (Front Wheel Drive) (standard ride height). The only difference is that the Superb MK3 estate 4x4 (with standard ride height) will have slightly stiffer rear springs as standard compared to the Superb MK3 estate FWD. So probably around 3Q0511115M rather than 3Q0511115AK. Two up in the hierarchy from 3Q0511115M is 3Q0511115P. Sachs 992379 rear springs (matches 3Q0511115P) Length 361mm Wire diameter 13.5mm Number of coil turns about 8.0 Kilen and Lesjofors make a spring that is sold to replace both 3Q0511115N and 3Q0511115P, but should match 3Q0511115P as this is the stiffer spring of the two. Lesjofors 4295137 rear spring (sold to replace 3Q0511115N and 3Q0511115P, so probably a 3Q0511115P rear spring) (same as Kilen 65127) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115p There's a seller on ebay that can supply the car's build codes for 3 Euros (about £2.50). If the car has build codes 1JA and 0YE the rear springs have OEM part number 3Q0511115M. Search "skoda vin decoder" to find the listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226517872578
