Opinions for new shocks+springs
I selected these after going thru the Octavia VRS forums on FB and this was a popular choice. Firmer but bearable I would say. H+R and Eibach Pro were the most common springs alongside OE shocks, although the H+Rs seemingly do go a bit lower (especially at the rear) and are firmer than the Pro's.

Offered an OTA update today
I have had my car for about six months. Was getting bugged with the repeat updates that lately appeared every day. Today I have been offered a proper system update, hopefully that will get rid of the constant small updates. The files it's downloading is :- M013_EU_SKMQB_P33400P... 0/3602 MB. Fingers crossed it's improving it. Cheers Bart....

Kamiq service/warranty question
Read the Warranty. That is a Oil & Inspection Service. (Oil Change and look see.) The Warranty requires the Vehicle serviced to the Manufacturers Recommendations, Schedule or Regime. Well it left the factory on Variable / Flexible Oil Service regime. If changed to Fixed Oil & Filter Services that is when the Service or Oil Service or Inspection service shows. 9,400 miles / 372 days. The Fixed Service Regime is not Recommended, scheduled or advised untill some Tech / Fitter changed it to that.

Fuel Consumption
I always back off the accelerator once I’ve got some nice momentum going.

The gear number only ever shows when in sport mode, usually it just shows ‘D’ unless you have it in manual mode.

I’ve no idea about cylinder deactivation as unlike my previous Karoq there’s no symbol to say if it’s active or not on my Scala dash.

Update applications Kamiq
If you use the back button it takes you back to an Enyaq update, so that procedure may be EV specific. Same update message is appearing in our Karoq (and probably other Skoda models too). One user is reported that his car has updated now: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/541069-constant-app-updates/

Ottocast issues
I read on here before about updating the firmware on the ottocast to correct some issues. No idea how that’s done. My Ali express one connects within a few seconds and auto plays from where you left off. It’s been plugged in permanently for nearly a year and had no issues whatsoever.

Radio replacement options.
Well after some investigation I have purchased a new door speaker and replaced it the audio is back to normal and no distortion, no idea why other speakers were also distorting. But we shall see how it goes long term but for now it's all good again.

Fuel Consumption
Its not my car, its Modders. The reason I ask is I dont think Coasting worked on my 2021 1.5 DSG Scala in Sport mode but maybe changed on the 2025 MY. Anyway, seriously impressive fuel consumption.

PDF with coding and adaptation
Hello everyone, I found this PDF containing various modifications and adaptations for the Golf 8, and it looks like many of them also apply to the Skoda Octavia IV pre-facelift (Non-FL), based on my own testing. So far, I have only tested the adaptations that can be performed without SFD authorization. Unfortunately, I currently don't have a working method to unlock SFD. I can successfully read the Challenge Token and manually enter the Release Token, but I don't have a way to calculate/generate the corresponding Release Token. i also have some of the software releases : 1941, 1969 ,1985, 1989 If anyone can help with that part, I would also be happy to test additional adaptations and features on my Octavia IV and share the results with the community. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Codierliste Golf 8 EN.pdf
