Hello everyone, my name is Winston and I live in Sydney, Australia. I recently took delivery of a 2024 Octavia RS wagon. I have been a happy Skoda owner for over 10 years. I also have a 2007 Roomster and a 2014 Yeti. Luv 'em to bits.

Hi We got 2024 kamiq on Saturday. Husband tinkering with infocenter settings and somehow he has managed to delete the navigation button on the infocenter display. We used android auto to drive home but would like the option to use the skoda navigation is case the phone is stolen or lost. I have spent all morning trying to get it back but have had no luck. . I have tried going to the widgets but no nav shows to add. Tried forgetting phone just in case this overrides anything but that didn't work. Any suggestions gratefully received Many thanks

Is this the Skoda tablet-holders? I have one and the head restraints didn’t need removing, just pushes between the two poles. Get your viewer some headphones; downside of it is the sound is right behind the driver’s head.

Hi, When I drive for about 10 minutes at 230 km/h, the oil temperature goes up to 137 °C with an outside temperature of 26 °C. In my opinion, the oil temperature is still quite high when I compare it to my Passat B8 2017 with the same engine. I also noticed that the ECU is reducing the speed when the oil temperature goes above 135 °C. I think there is still an issue with the oil temperature, but I can live with the current situation because nobody drives at over 230 km/h for a long time with diesel prices these days. On a normal drive between 150–180 km/h, the oil temperature does not exceed 120 °C. Based on the input I got from other forums and Facebook groups, the problem could be related to one of the following: - Oil cooler - Dirt in the radiators between the AC radiator and the coolant radiator, where the shutters were. In the future, I will probably clean the radiators and change the oil cooler when I change my oil next time. I will give feedback if I make progress with these.

look for the F&R sway bar links, but mainly look for all the rear subframe bushing, I suspect for some multilink arm

A question that I can't answer I'm afraid. She has had it serviced regularly by the Skoda dealer she bought it from, so who knows? My experience of main dealers of several ilks is not good..... Charging for parts and not actually fitting them. I've looked up BOSCH dealers in her neck of the woods and come up with Deepcut Garage - anyone had any experience with them?

Sounds a ridiculous price for Coil & Leads. Have we to assume the 4 spark plugs are good and have been inspected and not needing replaced?

^^^ VW are the masters of screwing down the cost to them, and never knowingly 'over spec' consumables.

Get an MOT test done, problem should be obvious to the tester.

First post in this forum, I usually hover over the Octavia Mk 111 one as I own a 2016 diesel vRS. My sister has a 2015 1.2TSi manual Yeti which went into limp mode just before she went into hospital for a hip replacement - yes, we are of that generation! Her main dealer that supplied the car and have serviced it since she acquired it say it needs a new coil pack and ignition lead and want £800 to change it and a split track rod end rubber boot. 6 - 8 week delay before they can do the work because of parts availability. Questions are: 1, Is she being stitched up - YES. 2, Can anyone recommend a good Indie VAG workshop in the Camberley area? i know very little about modern (after 1980s) petrol engines and when I looked on a couple of parts web sites, they were showing glow plugs in the ignition section; in a petrol engine? Loads of different coil packs that fit onto the spark plug like my BMW 740 Sport and a coil that looks a bit like a square distributor cap with four connectors sticking out, I imagine for the plug leads. Any advice will be welcome.

Stats suggest the most stolen car in England at the moment is a Fiesta, and in fact the luxury brand cars you expect to get stolen count for much smaller number of thefts.

Thank you all. I had been looking at the wrong screen and forgetting the steering wheel buttons. All is now good.

@captseahawk Write to me, I can send you the software and advise you.

Just a comment from personal experience:- I contacted my local Fuchs oil sales rep as I had considered buying a "suitable/correct" oil for my cars, but from a aftermarket brand that were known to use Fuchs as their source, the question I (naively) asked was "is ***'s product ABC the as your Fuchs XYZ ?" and the answer that I got was that the additive package that they use in customer's oils is closely matched to the area of the market that they are selling into - ie price dependant. So I think that that answered my question/suspicions concerning aftermarket brands when comparing them to main stream oil brands.

Thanks for the suggestion Travs. The reason that I've posted on Briskoda with a hiatus over the colder time is to do with my health. It has been playing up irrespective of hot or cold weather. Regards R

It's in the configureator as well it seems....

I do have another angle that I'd like to give on this (and it comes from personal experience). If a car thief is determined enough to want your car, then the best way to secure your car is to secure your house. Put all the kill switches, immobilser devices, faraday boxes/pouches you like, if they are determined enough to want the car they'll try and get in for the key, and beat any immobilser code out of you. Before the vRS I had a Cupra Atec VZ1. After about a month with it two masked guys tried to break into the house for the keys. We have anti-snap locks fitted to our house and they gave up as soon as they realised they couldn't snap the cylinders off. About 20 minutes later a Golf R Estate was stolen from only a few hundred metres away from a house without anti-snap locks. They were in and out within seconds. If you have a vehicle with KESSY like we do, the best security for your car is security for your house.

Cheers for the reply, Kenny. I did some digging and looked at the owners manual and I think I found the answer since posting.... This is from the 2026/3 manual - it's also in the 2026/8 manual. I'm guessing the 'Tilt adjustment' option adjusts the seat base angle?

In Romania, for the Superb Sedan\Liftback, you can choose the rear wiper for an extra cost, so it's not included by default.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen electric seat option on the Kamiq.

I bought the additive https://www.mannol.de/products/additives/ester-additives/mannol-benzin-ester-additive and I add it as it says 0.1% to 95 gasoline, it's a very weak mixture, I wonder if it has any effect in such a small percentage. I was thinking of increasing it to at least 0.2%, shouldn't it be a problem?
