TBQH it's a lot of faff. You can get the car to do it if you pay for the infotainment annual fee & suchlike on the Skoda App for iOS & Android respectively. Otherwise you have some options: https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/ and select the area you need, download and put it on a memory stick and see if the system will update. Use Waze which is very up to date as it's users update it regularly, it also has all types of speed cameras, roadworks and capability of reporting live issues Use Google Maps which for very much the same reason as Waze, which it essentially is as Waze is owned by Google.

Towing experiences with Octavia
@Warrior193 I ever had any showing of Automatic Gearboxes temperatures on the dash with any of the dozens if not hundreds of 2 pedal vehicles i have had since the 1970,s.. Plenty had a Overheating warning including VW Groups with a DSG or Tiptronic. Never had a VW Group vehicles with an TC Automatic.

Another Oil Consumption Topic
What was the cost to complete this work? Did you do it yourself or have the garage do it?

Another Oil Consumption Topic
About to book myself in for a DPF and EGR delete (for off road use of course...). It'll be interesting to see if the oil consumption drops once these are removed. Then see if we can improve the consumption issue even further with a good clean out/flush and a service with Liqui Moly like Jo88mak says. Ive only had the car 6 months, and im severely disappointed, and its put me off keeping it to say the least.

1.2 BZG engine oil leak
Might be as hopefully as simple as one of the pipes that feeds rack. Think the subframe has to be dropped etc to replace rack so not a simple job plus will probably need front end alignment once subframe is refitted etc. Have seen additive to help stop leaks but no idea if works and for how long.

@joeninho Did the dealer fix the problem? If so, what was the cause?

Skoda Octavia mK III INFOTAINMENT system keeps switching on and off
Found the fuse and replaced it. Worked fine for about 40 mins then reverted back to its tricks again. Looks like a dealership visit for a check on the system.

Towing experiences with Octavia
Does your trailer yacht uses water ballast? Consider using my idea of a rigid bar extension for launching and recovery - so much easier than using a rope, which of course is only useful for recovery.

Towing experiences with Octavia
Re. your question about checking transmission temperature, there may be a setting in the Maxidot MFD for that - if not a setting specifically for transmission, there definitely is one for engine oil temp.

Electric boot Struts
There is a post open on this recently but no one seems to be answering my query so apologies for another post on same subject... When I press the button to open the boot from the keyfob, it opens about 6" then closes again. If I open using the button on the boot, it opens the same distance but just sits there. When I manually push it up from this position, there is a certain amount of resistance and when open fully and I press the button on the boot to close it ,bleeps about 6 times and does nothing. Are there likely to be any fault codes that would indicate what the issue may be? I can`t think it would be a break in a wire as I`m guessing it wouldn`t open at all. If it were a faulty strut , how would you ascertain which one? or is it likely both could be faulty? Or indeed could it be something else entirely?
- Cruise control. Mine stopped working. Eventually I discovered that I had switched off the skid control, by pressing the button,

Guess the Hire Car.... Mac's 2019 game
Yeah this one's not huge as I think it's paired with the fiat 500x. Those mini countryman are definitely bigger and uglier

A photo would also help...

What are they?
Hi, It would help if you could tell us the model of Yeti you have - e.g. engine size petrol/diesel, manual/auto gearbox, front/all wheel drive. There are many permutations, so it's possible that the pipes you describe are not fitted to all models.

Rear light fade-on issue
Interesting. .I have to look into this , thanks Cairus! I will probably check if the plug at the back of the lights is not loose or pins corroded first. That would be the best and easier option...🤞
