It offers comfort and relaxation not only while driving but also pampers passengers even while charging. See how the engi

That may explain my late MK2 octavia as its not nearly as responsive as my old one. Its probably as you suspect factory programmed throttle lag to reduce emissions. Did read you can change it with vcds but not sure how. Someone on here will know. Had a quick google and AI came up with this but it is AI so I would be wary of messing up ecu until sure The Mod: Change the Throttle Response behavior from "Gradual/Incremental" to "Direct / Controlled by Threshold". [1] VCDS / OBDeleven Path: Go to Control Module 44 (Steering Assist). Select Adaptation 10. Find the channel named "Driving Profile Switchover" (or Kennlinien der Lenkung). Change the value from Incremental, controlled over time to Direct, controlled over threshold. [1] The Result: It makes the pedal mimic an old-school cable-driven throttle. The computer acts instantly on how deep you push the pedal, rather than waiting to see how long you hold it down

Skoda includes the Direct TPMS instructions in the manual because they build heavy-duty fleet versions and armoured/high-security variants of the Superb that do require live pressure sensors. However, for standard UK/European consumer models, Skoda only installs the Indirect ABS-based TPMS If your car actually had the system shown in the manual, it would require physical wireless sensor valves inside each wheel. If you have standard rubber or standard metal valves and the car forces you to manually hit 'SET' in the menu, your car has the standard indirect system and will never show the numbers My Skoda has the similar screens for tyre pressure as yours.

Hi guys sorry I know this is an old thread. I had the same issues and changed my bulb but its not working. A mechanic told me it could be the balast or something. Can it b3 checked without ordering a new one or taking the whole light out as its a ball ache.

Hi! I just got a used Skoda Fabia 2018 (MK3 NJ) manual 5D style 1.0 TSI 95hp. I know this is not a performance or sports car - and I’m not after advanced tuning - but there is one thing that is annoying me. Compared to my older Skoda Fabia Mk2 the older car had a much more direct gas response. The new car has significant lag when pressing the gas pedal especially switching gears - it takes a whole second before it even reacts which making shifting really jerky. Specifically when going from gear 1 to gear 2, I switch around 3000 rpm and with the gas pedal to the floor it takes like a second before anything happens and there is significant drop in revving I suspect this is some artificial lag introduced based on some European law euro emission savings or similar. I have access to vas5054a odis, vcds and odb11, I am in no way a pro, but I’ve been able to do some coding and flashing on my superb successfully. Grateful for any pointers or help on any low hanging fruits here

Hi, We’ve got one 2 year old child and a second due next January. We live in London and currently have an Audi Q2. We are looking to upgrade but aren’t sure whether a Karoq is big enough/ enough of a change? The Kodiaq looks great but also wondering if it’s too big for London? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks

First of all sorry for this new topic. As it is written in the users’ manuel and as i saw on the internet our cars should be show the tyre pressure values individually. That is to say; when i push the ‘tyre’ on the screen i should be able to see tire pressure seperetaly for each tire. I should be able to see pressure value numerically as one tyre’s pressure is 2.2 psi, the other one 2.5 psi and like this. Now there is no any information. I add photos which shows the situation.

Did my old toyota a few years ago and needed special o rings From memory they were green in colour as normal o rings degrade. According to google HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) so reckon skoda oem is the way to go. Alasdair

Hi Every time I drive my Kamiq, it asks me on centre display if I want to update applications I always click yes. Today it asked again - so I clicked on more info, to which I got this message. What do I need to do to fix this please anyone ? Thanks in advance Steve

Thank you for your help. Last night i tried the car. The road was 2 lane expressive way. My setting was the setting that you mentioned. There was only one lane. Unfortunately i cannot test the car on highways. The nearist highway is 250 km away. So i will be able to see the tesult i have a trip including highway. By the way these are my settings:

Yes, you need the right type of o-ring. No, you shouldn't lose any significant amount of refrigerant when changing the seal/sensor, there's a valve under it that closes as it is removed. PAG oil for lube. If it's the original pressure sensor it could easily be leaking through itself, rather than at the o-ring seal, I suspect.

The all weathers start life with more tread depth.

Hi. Tbe o rings are special rubber so they don't rot. If there is still pressure in the system it will need recovering first. Illegal to deliberately release to the atmosphere. To oil the O ring use the appropriate LAG oil for the system. Going to need a garage with AC equipment. Good luck

My fronts were measured at 4mm and rears at 5 mm, which is more than I expect, but they are Goodyear all-weather, so I suspect a bit of a softer compound. But Mrs says the big difference is the car never aquaplanes when it rains very heavily, which both of our Golfs (Mk7.5 and Mk8) on Bridgestones did. So I'll probably replace them like for like next summer when we get to 20,000 miles or 2.5mm whichever comes first; annoying but I do absolutely love the car and it is heavy, so like the higher road tax, it's an accepted cost of ownership. Your tyre wear, however, does sound concerning, assuming you check pressure regularly and drive it like a Tourer rather than with gusto? Had Pirellis on some of my former warm/hot hatches (XR3, Mini Cooper S) and, as I recall, they did wear more than expected, perhaps more sticky and hence softer, as a performance brand?

Got the ISO file, burned it to cd and everything works perfect now.

Ok. Looks like they've just done an oil change and not cleaned the strainer / filter which needs the pump removing. The latter is not part of thier normal service routine but needs doing and some dealers do it some don't. I'd ask if them whatbtheybdidnre the internal pump strainer / filter when they changed the oil and if they didn't do it either ask them to or take it elsewhere. Also double check with them that they know where the Haldex drain plugs etc are just in case they've drained the diff instead as they are easy to confuse if your not familiar with the car.

What's the increase in BHP with the new dipstick? 😉

I had a new Scala 1.5 dsg Monte Carlo from 2021 before trading it in for a SEL Karoq in 2025. Had seven Skodas since 2004 and the Scala was my favorite by a country mile, comfortable,economical,spacious and a great looking car. Icant think of anything I didnt like about it, probably get another when I change next time.

Have been on a 15000 Km ( 9400 Miles ) summer trip with the car. Have discovered a very annoying and clear exhaust drone in a narrow rev range ( 2950~3350 Rpm. ) The car has a 100% stock Skoda OEM exhaust system. 🤔 Anyone else here at Briskoda who has or had similar exhaust drone on their Octavia-II FL 1.8 TSI / 2.0 TSI equipped car ? 🤔 .

I have a leak at the pressure sensor I believe it must be the O ring seal. My question is, are the O ring seals special as they are VERY expensive for an O ring, can I fit an ordinary EPDM O ring. Am I right in thinking the pressure sensor can be removed without losing any remaining gas? Also what sort of lube do I use on the O ring when installing it?

I filled the tank and managed to get 58 litres in on the first click. So if the 4x4 tank holds 65 litres, that means the trip computer and fuel gauge is definitely still over reading by some margin. I had the RHS pump out the other day but when I saw the extra pipework disappearing off to the 2nd off take I admitted defeat and put it all back without any further tinkering. I have a service coming up so I might just get the readers replaced at the same time….

Refuelling time. I couldn’t remember if I reset the trip when I last filled up, but the car was showing 160 miles left in the tank, and the refuelling quantity was showing 35 litres.

Thats cool but not good when your order specified contis in January on the car spec .

Many thanks! I just replied to you. Good luck / "bonne chance" 🙏
