Do you have the “Optimised battery use” enabled in the app? As this should prevent the 12v going flat. ‘By using the high-voltage battery, more energy is available in the vehicle for operating via the app (affects range).”

I have Android Auto set to Autoconnect and start which it used to do wired but wirelessly it would always bring up the "Connect to Android Auto" screen. I'd accept and connect then sometimes it would drop and bring the connect screen again. Also once connected in wireless Android auto I'd get the odd Audio drop out. On 0334 as soon as I switch on Android Auto auto connects wirelessly and no Audio dropouts.

What has happened at Amazon with their big electrification plan for the last-mile delivery vans? There was a time when I was actually seeing this taking place, but now it seems that they are using diesel-powered vans in that role. I keep on getting more deliveries by Amazon and all in diesel vans, and I also have seen many other diesel-powered Amazon vans around Essex.

Currently working on my 2011 1.6 fabia mk2 and my auxiliary pump caught on fire and burnet the wire. Have a new one but one of the connectors is broken. The kne that r3aches to thw back of the engine. Was wondering if I can just swap parts of the wire loom round or is it better to change it fully?

Actually you are partly right, it is designed for more inshore waters, but range is a real big problem for it was well. Also oddly enough, it was built in Tasmania so has had a massive piggyback ride on the diesel-powered ship. And if that was not enough, it was originally hoped to be suitable to the route shown in yellow (130miles) on the map below but it has a very good chance of being left drifting out of control if the seas are a bit rough, so instead it is going to be used for the red route (32miles) instead.

Could be the aircon drain hose is blocked or failed. If you put air con on max for 20 mins there should be drips under car from drain hose. If its dry then its either blocked or become unattached. The underlay of the carpet acts like a big sponge so you need a lot of water to get carpets soaking. Alasdair

Yesterday, I downloaded the V6.0.1 free over-the-air update for my brand-new Enyaq SportLine 85X. The download took just over an hour. During this time, you must be out of the vehicle with it locked, and Kessy locking is disabled. When I returned, everything initially seemed normal: the usual functions worked, and I could select Drive and Reverse. I drove to a local shop without any problems and used ACC. However, when I came back, the driver’s dash display was not working properly, although the infotainment system started normally. I could no longer select B/D or Reverse. I tried several hard resets of the infotainment system, but nothing changed. I then locked the vehicle, waited 15 minutes, and tried again to engage drive, but the problems remained. The driver’s dash repeatedly cycled through every possible fault warning, so I called Skoda Assist. The technician found that the 12V battery was completely flat. I do not know what caused this, as I had driven 80–90 miles the previous day without any issues. The lights were not left on and the vehicle was locked overnight. The only other use of the 12V battery had been the download the following morning, which took more than an hour. Skoda Assist in the West Midlands had helped two other new Enyaqs in recent days after the same V6.0.1 upgrade. Both eventually had to be recovered to Skoda dealerships. My technician reviewed WhatsApp messages about the fault from the other two technicians. He fast-charged the 12V battery and carried out a Terminal 30 reset, but two faults remained: SOS Call and the Traffic Sign Recognition functions. The driver’s dash and infotainment system were also blank, and the ACC and parking camera system were not working. On the plus side, both Drive and Reverse could be engaged. The technician suggested that we drive the short distance to my home, where he would try another Terminal 30 reset and connect his laptop to the car’s system to work on the data bus. To his credit, he kept trying and eventually appeared to resolve everything, including clearing the two errors shown on the infotainment system under ‘car’. I had similar problems after a major software update on my previous 2021 Enyaq, which was carried out by the dealership and included replacing the 12V battery. After the upgrade, the infotainment system kept failing, the headlights would not work, false Multi-Collision Braking warnings occurred (the brakes came on with traffic safely approaching on the other side of the road, and several sensors became unreliable. This required yet another visit to my local Skoda dealership. I am now concerned that new 2026 Enyaqs may have similar issues with their 12V battery. Given that three cases have occurred in the West Midlands alone and the software upgrade has only been available for a few days, I strongly suggest waiting until others report a trouble-free upgrade before installing it. Has anyone else experienced issues with either of the following? · The V6.0.1 upgrade · The 12V battery on 2026 Enyaq not charging properly, or running down so far that the vehicle will not start and no systems work I sincerely thank the Skoda Assist technician from Birmingham, who went the extra mile to fully sort out my Enyaq. I only wish I could remember his name.

Have you had your AC checked for leaks? Have you replaced the pollen filter?

I'm in the process of selling my 2014 Octavia and would like to access the online logbook of the car... (This online version replaced the book with dealer stamps in it) I contacted my current Skoda garage and they sent me only the last 4 years of service/warranty information & said that that was all the information they had. I've used 3 different Skoda garages in the lifetime if the car. I cannot add the add the Octavia to the My Skoda app because it says it's not supported by the app. How can I get a list of all the work performed on the car? Services I have the invoices, however, I've had several warranty/free work done where they didn't provide any paperwork because Skoda paid for the work? ( TIBs - xenon ballasts, door rubber seals, air bags, water pump) Shouldn't an approved Skoda dealer be able to give me the full history despite using different garages in the past or do I need to request this from Skoda directly?

Oddly two stroke diesels are more efficient than 2 stroke with slow speed marine diesels. Big part of the reason for piggy backing is not range etc but the ferry probably is biult for inshore waters and very flat bottomed and not suited at all for deep sea travel and it would have very poor rough weather handling capability even though displacing a few thousand tonnes.

I have a 2016 1.6 TDI DSG estate with A/C. There is often a damp smell in the car and the air blowing out of the dashboard vents feels humid. The steering wheel feels clammy sometimes too. Sometimes there is condensation on the inside of the windscreen above the windscreen vents - as if humid air was being blown onto the windscreen. This seems to improve a bit if the AC is switched on, but not entirely. There is no evidence of any water inside the car (damp carpets etc). I wonder if there is some water drain pipe somewhere from the ventilation system which is blocked. The AC, the fan, the heater etc are all working ok - there is just a often this humidity in the air. This was even evident during our long summer when it didn't rain for months - so I can't believe it is rain related. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks - Joe

Awesome, I’m happy it worked!

I love the irony of it being delivered by a submersible heavy lift ship powered by a 17,000hp two stroke diesel engine.

Ours is still on 302. Got update notification just now and pressed update but nothing happened again. Checked an hour later and still on 302

The morning session has gone well. The challenges were: Despite being a Classic spec car, it has plastic undertrays that have to drop at least partly to get to the places that handbrake cables emerge. And of course most of those steel clips that hold it onto studs on the underbody were 'crumble to dust' status 24 years on from build. These clips that attach the cable to the underside of the rear beam are pure evil. The handbrake cable rubber grommet was well stuck in there, as per hatboy's video posted above. (Rotary) Wire brushed clear of loads of white aluminum oxide before fitting new cable into it (tried without and it was about 8mm shy of full insertion). For those who didn't watch the vid, it's these alloy tubes that the rubber bits stick fast into That's a spare I kept from last time I did this job, and used new tubes. The bearing showed up and the rear end is now all done. Just front bumper to do.

Hello, please can you describe me your issues with Wireless Android Auto? Thank you.

Hi, I did the oil change 2 days ago. The 161mm oil filter was the correct one. It is more faff than our old SII.... The tray is fixed with more bolts and different sizes. There is another part - a V488 heat assist pump - that you have to unbolt and swing out and then not mix up all your Torx screws before you get to the oil filter housing. Then you drain oil from it with a 10mm hex and to unbolt the housing you use a 26mm. Oil fill on the DTUA is 5.5l.

With a project cost of $200 million, the largest fully electric ship and largest battery electric vehicle of any kind in the world has just arrived in Uruguay for the Colonia-Buenos Aires route. Electric ferry delivery.mp4

For me 0334 has not only fixed the continued update issue it's fixed the connection issues I had with Wireless Android Auto

Hi - looking at the Travall and Guardsman dog guards (plus the dividers). We'll need to be able to drop the single split seat with the guard fitted, in order to load a cello. Does anyone who has either of these guards know if it is possible to easily drop the single seat back with the guard still fitted and whether the fittings obstruct the load space? The Guardsman guard appears to hook on to the seat back tethers, so I assume you have to loosen and unhook every time you want to drop the single seat. Which seems a bit of a pain. The Travall one fits to the load lashing points so doesn't seem affected by dropping the single seat, but do they encroach much into the load bay and/or present a gap where he can get a leg stuck? (He's not very bright - if it is possible, he will manage it). Any advice?

The front assist issue is caused by dirty or frozen sensors, happens on all versions of the Mk 4. Not sure about the others though, sounds like the 4.5 has gremlins just like the 4 did. Hopefully an owner with experience of these issues will see your thread 🫰🏻

One has to complain and even politely ask for compensation. I recently got a V2L adaptor for free after complaining on one important issue which they conceded was not good enough.

Dear Experts, All sorted. thanks for trying to help me. regards

Hi @26DIPP , did you change it already? Have you done it yourself?

I spoke to the parts department who advised that the “latest style” wheel caps will fit my wheels. For £20 I’ll give them a go. Hopefully they will last a bit longer than the chrome ones!
