Would love to know if there's a way to tell if it's been fiddled with or if a remap has been done. I've got the same issue...

I’d check the exact finance offer rather than assume the old Karoq deal still works the same way. Škoda/VWFS still allows early settlement, and you can request an up-to-date settlement figure through the finance account. The important bit is the wording of the current offer: if the £700 (or whatever the current contribution is) is conditional on taking the finance, check the terms to make sure there isn't a minimum period or other condition attached. Current Škoda offers still include finance-linked contributions and service incentives, so the basic idea hasn't disappeared. I'd get the dealer to give you the full finance agreement and settlement figure before signing, then compare the total cost against simply paying cash. If the contribution is genuinely greater than the small amount of interest/fees incurred before settlement, it can still be worthwhile—but I'd want that confirmed in writing rather than relying on how the 2018 deal worked.

I can help with a couple. Lots of things cause the engine to restart on it's own if stop start is active. This can include the AC demanding cool air. The radio mode might be set to local to automatically change to a local station when in range. There is a margin on the speed warning system. after the first ping then you don't get reminder pings unless you are more than 2-3 mph over the posted limit. The other stuff will need a trip to the dealer.

£1300 here, I will give them a call https://eastyorkshireretrofits.co.uk/products/skoda-kodiaq-mk1-genuine-powerfolding-towbar-retrofit?_pos=2&_sid=e77212872&_ss=r

I bought a BootBuddy for my 19 pate Octavia Vrs Challenge estate, now using it in my 23 plate Kodiaq Vrs, it's got a rigid plastic base, sides and back, can be bought as an extending version that can reach to rear of front seats when rear seats are folded, contains all the dog hair. I always have dogs in a cage.

I think just on a visual check. hadn't triggered any fault codes, yet. It dosen't look that bad at the moment, you can so scuffing type marks and maybe some faint cracks forming. Didn't fail an MOT because of it, just an advisory to act on immediately.

Thanks for that, a great help. I might give them a call and see what they have in stock and price. They quoted me £65 to fit a new seal!!! I said I'd do it myself.... I've seen them for £6 online. Got aircon back though, for now.... It had a full service / MOT / aircon service and an attempt to fix the passenger window where it doesn't open fully. They replaced the regulator some months back. They couldn't fix that in the time available after faffing about with it. They said they could control it fully using the OBD port, but just went back to playing up when using the buttons.

It usually comes up on the first start of the day.

Yes I wonder if they were bedded in one side then swapped around if that could cause vibration. Now at 160 miles on the new pads and discs and all good so far!

The Sensors can be a PITA. I had a new sensor fitted front passenger side yesterday before a MOT. It was already showing before i broke the valve as being on the drivers side from the last fitting of All Season tyres as the fitter put wheels to the wrong side. Anyway the MOT tester who fitted the New Sensor pre-mot coded all 4 sensors. Supposedly. After the MOT and a pass he took the car for a road test. When i left the place the Drivers Side was showing 2.4 Bar & 36*oC and the other 3 wheels / tyres 2.2 Bar and 24*oC. I carried on a few miles & thought the new sensor on the Passenger Front would re-set. But no. I stopped off and let them know, but it was closing time for them. So once i have time it will be going back to get coded properly................. Re Setting low pressures. On my BMW you go on the cars screen to the Tyre Size on the Car and Summer or Winter tyres and it recommends the Tyre Pressure range. Then it asks if you want to set to a pressure different from the recommended range. If you do you accept then Set the TPMS as you have inflated the tyres.

I think a lot of people don’t realise the crescent moon goes piston side It’s there mostly for anti squeal but I bet it can contribute to a little vibration tbh Your previous pads may not have been bedded in correctly too, so be gentle for about 150miles

Not for a Scala, but I got a set of Nordrive bars and 2 bike holders for my Octavia, from micksgarage, but I’m sure available elsewhere. Fully adjustable, and come with custom feet to match the curve of your car roof - specify the car model during the order and they supply the correct foot pack. Haven’t had any issue with any of it, and the bike rails even fit my thick framed mtb. Lot cheaper than a set of Thule bars, and not massively less aesthetically acceptable. Bit windy at motorway speeds, but overall fine

Thats one very strict MOT place. Glad I didnt put my old octavia in there. Alasdair

...But the system warnings should be inhibited if you reset the system at the lower pressures (within reason) you want to use.

Lower pressures could well be appropriate for snowy conditions, and, in any case will soon gain some pressure once you are running - I'd leave them as is and recheck at your first rest stop.

Consider using Steel-Wire Armoured Cable for the run.

I confess to being very surprised that this seal was picked up on an MOT - was it flagging a fuel purge fault (MIL) on the instrument cluster?

Replied, but for the benefit of others who may be reading:- the seal ring part number is 1K0 201 557A, currently £11.55 + VAT from Skoda. Lots of offerings for less than half that price online from the aftermarket, and lets face it, Skoda didn't supply a particularly durable one when this car was built, so there may not be a strong case for staying genuine.

IMHO it's rather HW issue, not SW

I don't own the radio; I have it connected to a bench power supply here, so I can't test those specific functions. It has been running on the power supply for several days now. Unfortunately, the owner doesn't know the details either—since the radio wasn't really working, he didn't use it and just wants to get it fixed up. Do you think it could be a software issue?

Hi, I have the following system details on my mkIII Octavia Elegance -- Device part #: 5E 003 587 4A Hardware: 040 Software: 0421 It has the smaller screen, MIB1, but not sure if it's Bolero, Amundsen or Columbus? I assume this has never been updated, but I don't get the download screen, as I don't have the maps SD card -- it just complains about not having a card. I'm getting a card off the Yorkshire bay -- by gum! How do I get the latest soft/firm ware? Maybe the software on the SD card will also need updating, regularly ...

Okay started with both windows failing to open, it's been into Skoda three times with no positive lasting outcome. After the windows wouldn't open a Skoda employee forced them to shut and for a while they opened and closed but the glass could not be correctly placed on either side. Entering our garage I close the mirrors, sometimes when in a morning they will work and when selecting reverse the windows dip as had be programmed.Todsy everything stopped mirrors folded in but would not open left for 3/4 hours ignition on and mirrors opened but nothing worked, moved car onto garage locked mirrors wouldn't turn in locked and messy disarmed. Any solutions welcomed
