If its been standing for two years has the air filter and air intake assembly been replaced or checked. Have had a few wasps nests etc in my old parts donors. Alasdair

PM sent for VCDS.

A few from today.

Most Radio 105.8 FM, an Indonesian radio station

Music & Opera Singers Trust ? 🙃 (it's in Australia)

Thanks Cairus I think it does have DAB ( though in the reality that exists here in the mountains, getting FM for a few seconds as I pass a dip in the skyline feels like an achievement ) What is MOST? I have a speaker in each front door -- I'd hesitate to call it a "system" ( though they are connected to a CD head unit that takes up 85% of the glove box leaving only enough room for a medium sized bar of Toblerone™ – meanwhile – there's an aching chasm behind the screen ... )

Sounds great, but I seriously doubt it will take off or even be approved for use in Europe and the UK owing to weight and also possibly length limits on trucks on our roads.

What, are octopuses seriously suggesting that 2 hours of darkness because of the eclipse will mean that their solar farms won't be able to contribute to the grid, so the grid itself is at risk of collapse unless people switch off their power-hungry devices? As a reward for complying, they will give you a free hour on Sunday? Really? In a few more weeks it will automatically be dark at the same time as the eclipse is taking place, and it will be colder, as it will be winter, and those with electric heating will not be using the same power-hungry devices to do washing, cook dinners, etc., and yet we don't normally have power restrictions or get asked not to use power during the hours of darkness. That has set my BS sensors tingling, so what is your position on this then? I think this is a test to see how compliant people are. I'm with OVO, and I have a smart meter, and I have solar, but no batteries, and OVO has not sent me anything asking us to reduce our consumption tomorrow evening during the eclipse???

Amundsen MIB 1 with DAB&MOST Possible Firmware 0490 You have Soundsystem?

Hi folks, I am thinking about getting a stage 1 remap done which I have done to loads of my cars but never a VRs. The questions I’m looking to find answers to are 1 - do the modes all stay different? Like eco/ sport etc and where can I get end cans that are not £1100 Miltec ones? Cheers Dez.

Sorry, I think I should have tagged @pab567 or @Cairus for help ^^^

Hi folks, Just found this forum and looking forward to getting answers from real life owners.

Hi. I’ve problem with my dab aerial. It snapped cable in the boot lid. After finding price for new cable I bought dab aerial and followed by manual stick to the windscreen. Cleared error codes caused by factory aerial (dab aerial open circuit). Connected new aerial to the radio. I’ve no reception and on dab. On service mode it shows dab antenna off? Any advice? Does heated windscreen can completely wipe off the reception? Thanks.

This black strip of silicone looks like something I have to buy? Does anyone know anything about it?

Excuse rambling reply, just sharing thoughts in no particular order which may or may not be applicable here. Can see some strange things in the screenshots compared with what I have on my Columbus. First photo is a direct equivalent to your photo 1. In both cases Bluetooth is not greyed out, the only source greyed out in mine is AUX. My 2nd photo is for you info to show when a Bluetooth audio source on phone is actively streaming to Columbus My 3rd photo is equivalent to your photo 2. In my case all 4 sources are shown ready to use CD, SD card, built in hard drive and Bluetooth. Again, to my eyes, you Bluetooth button is exactly the same as mine and not greyed out. What is definitely different to mine is AUX input is active. Do you have anything plugged into that, even just the adapter they offer to connect the socket in centre console cubby hole under armrest to e.g. old fashioned iPods? I wonder if you can't have AUX active and play back Bluetooth? Disconnect that so AUX is greyed out like mine and try Bluetooth again My Bluetooth module (under driver's seat) occasionally throws a wobbly and locks the Bluetooth link so it's active but no data can go either way. That's sorted by either power cycling the Bluetooth module (pull plug from socket) or after car is powered down and locked for more than a few minutes (after which I assume the Bluetooth module is powered down anyway to save 12V battery and so you essentially power cycle when you next unlock and start the car). So won't be your problem. But the Columbus could maybe do with a soft reset. Have to simultaneously press and hold the left and right arrow keys on left of CD slot and the mic button on far right of the CD slot. Doesn't delete any data, just the equivalent of Ctrl Alt Del on a PC to do a full shutdown and restart. I assume Bluetooth calls work fine? Have you tried streaming music from phone via Bluetooth? Does that work? Have you tried another phone? If you Google the phrase Waze Bluetooth car audio, there's a Google help article as first Non-AI suggestion that makes a suggestion of how to route Waze audio to car rather than phone speaker. And maybe later suggestions might help. Hopefully some of above is of use

No problem, Your quite right a lot have moved on to other cars including myself. I couldn't sell the Vrs as I have a soft spot for the old girl. Regarding the catch can, make sure the one you eventually buy has a drain **** fitted, they fill up with a mixture of oily water especially in winter (condensation). Here is a vid you might enjoy, some Brisky guys went to Germany for drive on the Nurburgring, enjoy !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLYxljogZH0 Good Luck

Next best alternative I think would be someone like towsure and get an aftermarket removable one. You can get aftermarket pop out ones too.

Hello, When I opened my sunroof, the mechanism on the driver’s side broke. Has this ever happened to you? I don’t understand what happened. Do you think this is covered by the warranty? The car is five and a half years old and has done 126,000 kilometres. The break occurred at the end of the metal spring shaft in the mechanism. Best regards,

Draining fuel and replacing filter after fuel lines blown out to clear any contaminates. Plugs and cables check ok lead end corroded will replace with new. I will write wahte codes are after these items have been completed.

Wow, pricey, thanks for the info

Under warranty is good, would probably be around £300+ at main dealers otherwise Apparantly they are also Model and trim specific too

Is anyone able to email me the latest firmware, please

Yeah they are separate stalks on the Karoq, sounds like its not the easy fix I was hoping for, fortunately its still under Skoda warranty, so I'll be giving them a call, thanks for responses.
