Oh please, oh please let it be a ….. 🤞

Hello guys ! Does anyone knows how can you reset oil change and service inspection message for skoda scala 2024 essence, without buttons on the steering wheel? As i understand, even with the OBDeleven device, after year 2024 its not possible, because VAG just blocked everything. So i assume, only option is official dealer?

Deffo not gonna use gates kit, looked closer at the tensioner today and it was cracked on the shaft

There might be another one in the door pocket.....His & Hers then?.

I agree, if it's mechanically good and the bodywork is in good shape, unless you're in competition with the neighbours to have the newest cars (some are !!), I'd be keeping it. Look after what you have and it'll serve you well. ......or if you just fancy a change, fair enough although you might miss the BHP ?

Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2014 Superb II facelift (2.0, 170 HP, DSG, 220,000 km). It’s a very good car for its age. So far, I haven't had any issues with it. All the best to everyone!

thanks for the suggestions. Pollen filter totally dry, no sign of any damp on passenger (N/S) of car. As the carpets are dry above floor level, it would seem the water is entering very low down. I have checked the scuttle drains and they're flowing fine. One thing that puzzles me (above the rest of this!) is how the rear passenger footwell has got so wet. Assuming the water (which is clean and odour-free) is entering the driver footwell, I cannot work out how it reached the rear, as there appears to be cross member under the driver seat and the carpet in front/on top/ immediately behind it, is all dry.

I had 1.0 litre Octavia a few years ago. Did the occasional run to the airport with 5 up and stuffed with suitcases. No problems at all.

Brief update on this - after some more testing: Talkmobile monthly SIM (Vodafone network) works in both the CarStick and via mobile tethering O2 Classic PAYG SIM doesn't work in the CarStick, but does work with mobile tethering So it seems that O2 PAYG isn't co-operating with the CarStick, or vice versa. Which is a pain because O2 Classic PAYG is a very cheap deal that's no longer available - it barely uses any credit. I don't think it's anything with the vehicle itself, which rules out taking it to a dealer as Skoda Connect suggested.

@joek666 If you scroll up just a few messages, the version you're refering to is already out, posted and tested since June.

New version appears to have been released recently - latest versions of all regions is CW 35/2026 now on the Skoda update portal

Rain saps power in ICE cars similar to EVs it is that EV have far superior data systems we can measure small difference in energy usage. ICE vehicles ars so wasteful of energy, most themselves energy goes out of the exhaust pipe as waste heat, that a mile per gallon list in rain is no big deal. Wgen chraging it is easy to monitor the electricity going in to the Joule, program to stop the charge on battery level, which i do alot. Just got to make sure one does not pick up an idle charge. Worse than downloading more power than one intends, at big expense, is to be charged dosh for being connected but not charging up, that would hurt. Never had that thankfully.

That's one thing that does not happen with liquid fuels, just saying.

Just because it's free and easy, drop your pollen/cabin filter out and see if it's full of water. Again, on the cheap and easy. have a sit in the car and get someone to go round it one area at a time with the pressure washer, and see when water comes in. Probably won't be an external leak, but it's the easy place to look.

Further to my previous post I can confirm that it does show all three lanes on a motorway.

The MK3 has a removable lower glovebox, evidently, whereas the Mark 2 does not. Access is the whole issue here, not what you do when you have it. One day I'll get round to doing the job.

Finding the more modern the more electronic problems and dealer only fixes. I would stick with the one you have although 220k is fairly high. I suppose it depends what you would get for it if selling? Alasdair

Done that too.

Just came home 160 miles in torrential rain and was getting 2.8 miles a kWh. I stopped at 80 miles to charge a little as showing only 50 mile range. Charged more than I ment because I only wanted £3 of charge and ended with £12 as busy talking chargers and how bad they are. Left charger and no rain and average speed cameras and 3.2 miles a kWh. 75 miles range left, so money wasted from gabbing on.

Hello everyone, I have pretty weird issue with my bending (AFS) lights, they dont bend anymore 😁 I don't have any error code on dash, and when connecting VCDS I don't see any error messages for headlights either. I tried testing the ligths bending left and right with vcds and they work totally fine both of them bend left and right. I also run learning usin VCDS basic coding, and it said: learned. I also checked a 10Amp fuse, switched it with another 10Amp fuse for AFS and it still doesn't work. It feels like AFS is simply switched OFF, but googling arround I found out that there is no simple switch off/on for AFS. I did switch off cornering lights with fog ligthts using VCDS, and set washer headlights to off, but that shouldn't switch bending lights function? Did anyone had similar problem? Am I missing something, maybe I can do some sort of AFS reset or there is a setting to switch them on/off?

Yup. All working spot on.

And?... Does it work as expected? I hope it does, as a reward for all your efforts! 😉

Same here re locking nuts. There awful. Tyre service snapped the only adapter which looked like some kind of alloy not steel and it was a nightmare to get stud out. Local garage welded a nut on the end to remove it as dealer wasn't very helpful re replacement and I needed tyre changed as it had lost shape. I remove them if their fitted. Nice tread pattern on tyre. I do prefer the herring bone pattern. Works better in my opinion in wet. Alasdair

I have no fear of anyone wanting my 16's lol.

Lots of detail here about this problem : - All the parts looks similar. HTH. Thanks. AG Falco
