Hello - Thank you all for your support on this matter. I drive a 2015 Skoda Superb 4x4. 93k miles and it passed its MOT back in July after some required changes. The problem came in the following week when it suddenly lost all power, went into limp mode and has been in garage since July 22nd. The light came onto the dashboard saying something referring to engine management warning. Garage is having real problems diagnosing what it could be. I can try and get ODIS codes if that would be helpful. Thanks Mark

Yes in the Fabia Mk3 Modification threads.

Hello everybody, I have cca 135Hp after stage 1 remap.I heard that 160 HP is not fantasy with turbo fro 1.4 tsi 04E 145721B. Does anyone have experience with turbo swap?1.2 for 1.4?Does it fit?

I'm interested in the part, but I can't DM you directly.

What is the exact make, model and year of the car?

@jaychen What is the law or regulations in Australia (or is it Austria) on a Decat / DPF removal?

There is no REGULAR Servicing scheduled, advised or recommended for a DQ200 DSG which has 2 oils and a tiny filter in the MCU. This is not to say that you can not change both oils, but a main Dealership might not be prepared to, but a Service Desk person might advise it is done and will book it in, and then have no idea of the cost of Servicing a DQ200 DSG. Get done at an Automatic Gearbox specialist if getting done.

Are you UK based? How does your car pass the MOT? No way to pass diesel particulate test unless DPF is in place...

I guess keep your eSim live so you can receive it.

I saw on another group that the OP had put up a photo of the infotainment screen showing his brake lights and indicators glowing on screen. My 2024 Sportline does not show this on the car home page. Is there a way to activate this ?

Thanks for the info. Let’s see what happens.

Its not to do with safety, having the e-sim as you say could help if you have the car stolen, and for the same reason the GPS will help with that, plus as I do if I was to lock the key in the and my wife could not get in the car, I could open it remotely, so the bits you mention are far more use than not having them

Ah Yes! I've litteraly just, (as in yesterday) bought a 2017 1.4 TSI SE L 5dr DSG. The comments you've received so far are excellent.... There are some that I'd add too. Apologies in advance for the war and peace 😂 1st off - Do an HPI, Experian etc check! Visuals: Check all of the panels over. Wings, doors and check the panel gaps etc for paint & possible repairs. Check the sills for dents, (rubbish tyre fitters etc). Check the windscreen - Nice if it has the original Skoda stamped screen with the ticket holder in it. Whilst your're at it check the VIN No in the windscreen from outside nearest the passengers side under the wiper, and check it against the number stamped on the driver's side inner wing, under the bonnet. Check these two against the paper VIN sticker in the boot to the left of the spare wheel, under the carpet. Check spare wheel and tools (if fitted) whilst you're there. Check interior, steering wheel, switches, seats for operation, and wear and tear. Make sure that you turn the aircon on full blast cold then fully up to max heat to make sure all work ok. Check Tyres! Need to have meaty tread of course, plus be reputable brands and ideally all 4 matching... Failing that, matching pairs essential. Keys... 2 or even 3 Keys (ideal), and an owners wallet is important to me.. If it only has one key then cut the price down... Original Owners handbook is important to me, as it has the vehicle VIN on the inside cover. Mechanicals/Electricals: Check engine over. Check condition of oil. Brake fluid is clear. Check that coolant is pink and NOT muddy red. (failed Silikat bag). Ask me how I know? Check if possible exhaust and condition underneath. Check that engine starts up free of all rattling, smoke and check that engine dashboard fault lights are non-existant. Make sure you're happy with how the car drives. When the car gets up to temp, check that Stop/Start works okay.. Watch on the dashboard & observe the gearbox go smoothly through all 7 gears. Have a go in Sport and Manual modes, plus use the steering wheel paddles (if they're fitted). Test reverse, full lock left/right and check park sensors/camera (if fitted). Handbrake, brakes. Check dampers for leaks & that springs look ok - (The amount of times I've seen MOT advisories "Dampers show light misting of oil" or "' Coil spring Spring fractured/broken" on VAG cars)... Check the LED headlights (If you're able to). DSG Gearbox and Timing belt/Water pump changes. Depending on mileage, check to see whether these have been done? If your car is fitted with the 7 Speed Dry Clutch DQ200 DSG box (like mine), then there seems to be a great deal of contention about whether it needs oil change or not? I myself need to read up on this, as I'm still not sure? Paperwork: Check service history thoroughly... Hopefully if it has Dealership (ideal) or registered independent servicing (2nd best). If so, then that work will (should) have been captured online. A 2019 car should have that. Paper invoices always help. The amount of cars I've looked at, advertised as "Full Service History" only to have big chunks missing between services is laughable, but please do keep in mind that if the car is on a 'Long life' Service interval and does low miles annually, then it is possible that the car may not have visited a service centre every single year...Take time to pour over the paperwork and cross check it against the MOTs, and change of ownership etc. As suggested above follow the MOT history to check whether historic issues were/have been addressed, and ask for a car with a short MOT to have a fresh one put on. Sorry for the essay, but throughout my multiple Skoda ownerships I've been caught out on nearly all of the above, mostly through my own ignorance, stupidity, lack of attention/ awareness, but sometimes through seller craftiness. I appreciate that what I've listed may well be overkill, but I'd say that an HPI (or similar) check, plu an MOT history check whist you're having a cuppa can sometimes tell you whether it's even worth going to see a car as the results you get back can sometimes be that obvious. Good luck. I'm sure you'll find a great one!

Hi @pab567, I noticed that you have helped several people with the MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0080L / MU8755 firmware. I have a 2019 Škoda Octavia with a Swing LG unit (5E0 035 871 D, HW 690), currently running MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P7381L / MU8740. I tried downloading MU8755 from two different sources, but unfortunately both archives seem to be corrupted/incomplete. Would you possibly be able to share a verified working copy or a reliable download link for MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0080L-MU8755? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you very much!

Sorry - in addition to the above I meant to ask the question if whether or not you tied it down to the air conditioning? I would have thought that after a week of non use there wouldn't be any water. I ask a mechanic today what he thought and he just shrugged his shoulders and said that it could be anything and not to worry. I've just booked it in for a service in a moths with a garage that specialise in Yetis and other Skodas. Hopefully he might come up with something.

It's a G-meter (display of lateral/longitudinal G-forces) You can change it with de parameter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4-6j3XseEM

True enough.

Mostly it's those damn spring clips that are a nuisance... 🤬

Getting the trim panels off and back on again is much easier if you pull the door seals front and rear well out of the way first.

Just bought a motor thankyou so much for your help 😊

Thanks my mechanic thought it was wrong part.

Hi @pab567, could you please send me the 6276 recovery ISO? My unit is 3T0 035 686 N, HW H27, SW 6276, C14 and is stuck in a boot loop.

There isn't much. It says the usual stuff - there's disabled everything except the mandatory things and nobody's saying what does include. Basically it can be anything. I'm a bit tired of this nowadays "everything for your safety" thing. Phone that sends information about me, car that does the same etc.

Thanks for that. Interesting - much the same as mine. The strange thing is that my Yeti has been parked in the same garage overnight ever since we brought her home brand new from the dealership and this has only started happening within the last 2 weeks. Showing her age or perhaps she has a secret little place.

Calling all fabricators who've made their own custom CAT/DPF deleted DP's. Have had mine deleted from the ECU, so I'm keen to physically remove them now. Just wanted to see how others had gone about it before.
