£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

Hi Frank, Your going to have to give a lot more information in a post if you want anyone to be able to help if your having an issue?

Skoda karoq ,edition 32 reg

Thanks for that information, most helpful. I'm going to have to wait a while if I want to try and tap into the mains as the ground is like concrete and impossible to dig with shovels or spades, so once we have a decent amount of rain that softens the ground I might be able to get our gardening team to dig a trench across the lawn about 12" deep so I can install a cable conduit (usually a heavy duty water pipe) and bury it in the trench up to a base of a redundant lamp post base, reuse that for a charger on a post.
