@Eric_DK Skoda MIB2 (MST2) unit. · Software train version: MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0359T · Installed SW MU version: 0359 · Part number: 5Q0035820B · Software version: H28.28.133_STD2_EU · Hardware: H30 · Media Codec: 3141.0.0.1 Fabia 2017

Your automotive controller is no longer synchronizing with the graphics controller, which indicates a timeout issue. Updating or reflashing the same firmware might help. Otherwise, buy a used unit and find someone who can perform a full backup of the automotive controller, transfer the data to the replacement unit, and adjust the mileage.

You might want to tell which infotainment system is installed in your car. Perhaps you could also say which model year your Fabia is from?

Dacia Hipster could be another success in the Dacia Renault marque...

Thanks for listening, My octavia 2025 g-tec is not facelift version due to the headlights (I think facelift has SFD2) and I would like my digital cockpit to show the gas range. I tried change skins with vcds 25.3.1 but I couldn't find the vRS skin, I think i need unlock SFD due to VCDID code, see image attached. When going to 17 Instruments > Adaptation and typing "view" into the filter, I activated several views -such as 4, 7, 8, and 9- but I was only able to see a new skin by activating "view 8." I tried typing "Display depiction" into the filter, but whenever I attempt to activate any variant (Variant 1, Variant 2, etc.), it asks for a security code. Do you think this security code implies that I need to purchase an SFD token or is possible unlock security code writing a code in 17 Instruments > 16 Security Access ? Do you know how can I get the vRS skin in my CNG 2024 Octavia?

Hi all, Just wondering what the cambelt interval on a 1.6 Greenline III is. I’m seeing conflicting information online. I’ve just bought my old Octavia back and the belt was done before I originally bought it in 2020 at 90,000ish miles. The car has now done 140,000 miles so I’m guessing it’s overdue? It’s been owned by a family member so I know the car hasn’t had the belt done during their ownership. Looking to get it booked in if it is actually due, but just wanted to make sure it definitely is before I shell out. Also what’s the going rate for a cambelt & water pump change at an indie currently?

Hello, I feel I am late to the party and haven't updated my firmware since 2017. I believe I am after MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0480T - (currently on P0468T). Can someone help point me to where I might find it? Thank you.

Does the SD card fit in the extra slot in the glovebox unit? I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to electonickery, give me an engine to work on any day! Thanks, that looks the very dab.

Something like this means you can rip your CDs easily. https://amzn.eu/d/0iICC1YP

Filtering search by VIN gives same part number for cover as I suggested so if that looks unlike what you remember I think that leaves two possibilities: An earlier cover type had been fitted by someone in the past, or Maybe that's not the car's original engine.

Is this just the anti-stall software not allowing you to trickle along at (too low) revs? What revs is it doing at 38mph in 5th?

Top Cowling 1.2HTP Škoda 03E103929A ? Need VIN to check properly, but that's what comes up for 2012 CGPA engine. Maybe it had something non-original on it before, if that doesn't look like what you expect. I will message you to ask for VIN. Dirt on the outside of the engine doesn't matter, clean oil inside is much more important

Yes, I know it's dirty as hell 😂 I have tried several places, plus shops, but we are struggling to find the right fit. None of the covers I have found has the oil cap where mine is placed. Ps: its scheduled for a proper clean once the parts are in place

Thanks Dave, that's what I was afraid might be the answer. The problem I have is that my new DELL laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player built in so unless I can find an inexpensive CD player to plug in, I am stuck with what I have.

Looks like an engine cover's the least of your worries I assume you've tried eBay, Amazon and Skoda?

A couple of years back i had my car in the shop, and upon the return my engine cover was gone. I am struggling to find a replacement, and was hoping some here could help me. It's a Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo, 1.2htp. I'll attach a photo. Hopefully someone here can help me get what I need.

Let's hope that fixes it then. I assume it's being done free of charge under warranty?

The latch on the tailgate springs back to the open position even when forced with a screwdriver. I have reversed right up to the garage door for overnight security. Skoda roadside assistance are due to fit a new latch on Monday. My elroq has only done 3100m since new in May.

Has anyone managed to get a goodwill payment for this fault? My Leon 1.4TSI broke down a couple of weeks ago, fuel leak from the fuel rail, 1 bolt ‘missing’ and others loose. 3rd party warranty would not pay out because it was a bolt issue and bolts aren’t covered!

Found similar in cluch kits Bought an LUK kit and it had a valeo clutch disc. I would have thought that as INA are a premium bearing manufacturer they would use their own unless they also now make them for Gates and you got one branded for Gates . Reckon a lot of companies supply each other with parts and are rebranded to suit Alasdair

As with everything, if you know what you’re buying, you’re probably going to get a great deal. If you don’t, then sometimes it’s best to err on the side of caution. As said, the same factory can product different qualities (and, often, you’ll find that the lower quality items end up as different brands - take Hisense and LG, for example). @Cairus I meant to tag you, but clearly don’t seem to have managed it!

Is the car doing regen maybe, and constantly.

Been asked several times on here, answer is always the same - this generation of infotainment systems doesn't support a CD player or changer. You need to rip your CDs and copy the MP3 files onto an SD card.

I have a digital cockpit display in my Kodiaq. Part number 565 920 790 C It’s recently turned off mid journey and only comes back on intermittently. There’s not actually anything wrong with the display, it just won’t stay on. It’s just the screen too, the petrol and temp lights are fine, as are the warning symbols. I’m just left with a blank screen and a red warning light. After an extensive search the only solutions for a fix I’ve found are to pull fuse 17, disconnect the battery and reset the infotainment system. All 3 of those haven’t worked. I took it for a VCDS scan which showed a fault (see attached image). Has anyone else had this issue? It’s booked in to have the software / firmware updated this week as a last resort before I have to look at replacing (£2500+) Any advice appreciated
