It's a questionable practice, but my favourite way of cleaning a coolant system is to throw a dishwasher tablet in. Can you get any live data from the temperature sensors?

Flaps are okey I disassembled 2 of them anf they work fine on car and off it. I have 2 zone climate control. Every changing of heater matrix core resolve the issue so thats the cause. My question is: what to do to clean the whole circuit?

To be fair, that sounds more like a flap or control issue than a problem on the cooling circuit. Does your car have 2 zone climate control in the front? My sneaking suspicion would be that one of the cabin or vent temperature sensors is giving spurious readings.

There is no official solution for the clock problem in your firmware. The only solution, also listed in the Digital Elite forum, is a cross-flash to a VW firmware, which addresses the clock issue. Then the Skoda HMI needs to be flashed. Only attempt this yourself if you know what you're doing; otherwise, you risk bricking your software.

Sort urban trips will usually keep the battery charge level at only around or below the SS operating threshold. Even with longer runs, the smart alternator algorithm will often prevent the battery from attaining a completely full charge - although still allowing SS to operate.

Mrs Gaz has got Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6's on her Polo GTI, they've got quite good rim protection. Mrs Gaz still remains undefeated in the kerb assault operations though 🙄 Gaz

Hmmmm ... looks like I've got some research to do on modern batteries! I'll certainly look into getting a plug-in voltmeter, thanks. For what it's worth the car was owned by Skoda themselves (at a different dealer from the one I purchased it from I believe) and has only 3,700 miles on the clock. Hopefully the battery hasn't been hammered too much.

Would be the safest way, It isn't safe to look at the Sun without special glasses

Hello there! Can anybody support me with an newer Firmware Update? Time at the Display stands at 0:00 and never change. Thanks in advance Thommy

Ive had a problem with heater core matrix since last year. Ive diagnosed the issue using vcds ive checked flap motors, all the data and had a 20° difference from left to right, then i proceed to chsnge the matrix core then it worked perfect for 3 months then again. So i started with flushing whole circut with water then added destilled water a then radiator flush. After all that ive installed new nrf heater matrix core. Last night it happened again passenger side warm and driver side hot as hell. What to fo wity it now? Changed it for the third time? Flush it? Dont know what to do and Im tired of it already. Someone hade similar issue? ( no silikat in the bank, changed couple of time to g12evo, no problems with flap motors, as skoda says my car went through procedure of flushing in 2020)

Can happen at any time if wipers are set to automatic, mine occasionally used to wipe when not raining. Setting in infotainment system, I turned the automatic setting off.

It could be the AI has decided for the Energy Company that more people might be inside watching on the telly the Partial Solar Eclipse just before SunSet. Having a cuppa etc etc. Or outside parties. But then they might not be wanting lights on in beer gardens etc. PS, Remember the Perseid Meteor Shower a few hours after the Partial Eclipse. Best viewed outside where dark, so away from lighted areas.

aw this is vrs porn, and my poor car is still in a sick state! Spent hours under the car today, unsuccessful mission to extract the sump bolt. No dice, I just can't pull outward and keep the pry screwdriver in place simultaneously- need another dude. You know the sump bolt is in a recess, it's well awkward. Ordered a new sump so if it comes to it, there's a plan B. Such a bummer! So all the deletes and catch can stuff will have to wait- I'm not fitting a new sump on my own. Hopefully with a few threats and sweet talking I can get someone to help me do the sump in the next week, do the oil change....and then get back to where I was .More soon

Maybe but I doubt it, it will either be full on battery powered trucks, or stay with the status quo for a bit longer. We can't really cut down the payloads as we need to move much more food in from the ports seeing as we are giving up huge amounts farmland to solar farms.

Why is only Octopus doing this? I haven't heard of anyone else doing it. Jacob Rees-Mogg has even released a video speaking about the fact that only Octopus are doing it, and then he goes into one about the folly of it.

Indeed, more of an OZ, US thing. Chiba seems to be quickly rolling out full electric trucks with no ICE onboard. Perhaps we will get smaller, shorter, lighter unit in Europe.

Yes a bit of a gimmick i suppose. Just makes people think is the plan. UK Solar currently can add add about 6 GW in ideal conditions and time but not at 1800, 1900, 2000 hours, even my tracking arrays are getting much than at 1300 BST, 1200 GMT but I think home solar is adding maybe a GWh at that time. All across the world the amount of home solar and home batteries is growing much quicker that Grid silar farm and BESS plants. Electricity is oft cheaper than the weekdays and has been negative for us tracking tariffs but is not due to be super cheap this Sunday looking at Agike Predict so an hour of free is welcome and I may put 2 or even all 3 EVs on charge whilst keeping an eye on total current draw. Heat water ad well jf enough headroom. Duller days head after this heat wave it is reckoned. May go back to GO night time cheap tariff.

hi i have a skoda fabia vrs 2005 with an asz engine i think its the pd130? i was wondering if i could replace the aluminium coolant pipes that connect to the heater matrix via the engine bay bulkhead/firewall, as the aluminium ones are a pain.

Problem solved. When I connected ODIS it auto-identified the car. In the attached screen shot you can see that it says SK37x. But the Kamiq is a SK27x. When I changed this manually ALL controllers were read without issues and coding was a breeze.

Yes placing a demand on the steering system will also force the engine to restart. For many many years now, I've bought and fitted a plug in 12V DC voltmeter - Chinese made bought via ebay, having one of them does let you see what is going on wrt the charging voltage, okay these cheap - roughly £5 voltmeters will not be extremely accurate - but in my experience, they are good enough to let you work out things like why the auto stop/start is or is not operational. The battery life of the original EFB battery depends a lot on how the car has been used over its lifetime, for reference (maybe) my wife's August 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI never had any issues with its original battery, but I had fallen into the trap of "everyone says that these EFB batteries fail quite quickly" so I bought a new "next size up" Bosch AGM battery really to be ready to swop when the original battery failed at an inconvenient time during the winter. Well that just did not happen, so after storing it and "topping it up" every few months, for a "few" years, I ended up replacing the original Exide EFB with this "one size up" AGM when the car was 10 years old. My older daughter has a May 2019 SEAT Leon Cupra, again it has an Exide EFB and when I last tested it with my CTEK battery tester, it still looks very very healthy - which is okay, I'd doubt if she ever disables auto Stop/Start and only connected it to a CTEK charger during Covid lock down period. My younger daughter has a May 2019 SEAT Arona "bells and whistles" version - they badly under use that car and it bit them in as much as they needed to call the AA out to fit a replacement EFB battery after the original Exide EFB became unuseable - that was maybe 3 winters ago.

Since that message, I have had almost no more problems. It's strange. I have an appointment at the Skoda dealership on August 25th; I will keep you updated.

If its been standing for two years has the air filter and air intake assembly been replaced or checked. Have had a few wasps nests etc in my old parts donors. Alasdair
