Hallo, kan iemand een link naar deze firmware delen?

Two companies I have been most associated with are Ceva and DPD and Ceva are looking to bring the Windrose trucks to the UK and I presume the frightening increasing in diesel costs and strong desire to go to lower carbon footprint the Ceva UK fleet is predominately running on HVO rather than diesel. Can be a little more than diesel and is erratic pricing. Hope to see the Windrose EV HGVs on the road soon but I am sure they will want to test in cooler weather but Windrose has already done much of this and truck has 800v architecture and charging is very good in the chargers are there which is something Uk government working on with Gridserve and others to hit the 2040 deadline of all trucks being electric..... https://www.gridserve.com/electric-freightway/ https://www.cevalogistics.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-release/ceva-uk-investment-low-emission-fleet DPD also breaking out from EV delivery vans not just being mainly cities..... DPD UK is expanding its electric van fleet with 341 new Mercedes-Benz eSprinters, taking the parcel carrier’s total number of electric vehicles to more than 4,000. The first vans are due to enter service in September, with the full batch scheduled to be operational by the end of October. They will be deployed both within the M25 and at locations elsewhere in the UK, ahead of the company’s peak Christmas delivery period. DPD said the new vehicles will allow it to extend the use of larger electric vans beyond the inner-city areas where much of its EV fleet has so far been concentrated. According to the company, its electric vehicles currently operate across more than 7,300 UK postcodes. In 2025, DPD delivered more than 85 million parcels using electric vehicles, including a predominantly diesel-free final-mile operation within London’s North and South Circular roads. Olly Craughan, head of sustainability at DPD UK, said larger panel vans remain central to the company’s final-mile operation. "The eSprinters can carry the same payload as the equivalent 3.5t diesel while the new battery technology and improved range mean more of our depots can start deploying larger EVs further afield,” he said". DPD pushes electric vans beyond city centres with hundred...DPD pushes electric vans beyond city centres with hundreds-strong order

Can't pm, sorry i'm too new, could you message me?

Still available, pm if interested.

@commievid how's the alu subframe? Its starting to fall on my radar so want to get some proper feedback.

It was a 2022 reg - so Mk1

As i mentioned above, I think it is a matter of model, or specific piece, as, referring to my selection model, ventilation is pretty active...I personally use 2nd scale throughout summer, here in Greece, where it is enough to keep body dry and cool...3rd scale is too much, activated only in harsh conditions...1st scale is pretty mediocre though....maybe the nature of the material...I don t know if vrs is real leather , or it is leatherette partially, or completely....e.g. selection seats are leather in the middle where body sits and touches, where there is leatherette, at the rest of the seat....

Was that MK1 or Mk2, perhaps it's a MK2 thing?

My experience with a previous Kodiaq L&K was quite different. The vented seats on that car when turned to max got cold very quickly, so quickly that it didn't take long for me to turn them down, even on very hot summer days. Given the weather most months in the UK vented seats are not exactly a must have.

Hi. I have Skoda Scala 2020. I bought geniune rear camera for my car from skoda-parts. There is a fitting instructions in my order. I have a question for connectivitiy cables. I connected cable in blue socket thats ok. But now how i will other cables apply which socket because fitting instructions shows BCM to apply other cables or do i need canbus cable like i add attachment? Because there is no canbus cable in my parcel. I find BCM location and i know C socket. Please anyone tell me which one canbus pin cables? Or send me picture or like that. Thank you.

Think I have settled on Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 205/55 R17 V (95), the variant that has an A rating for both fuel efficiency and wet braking. I've got my local Tyre fitter, who is 2 minutes away, to do all four tyres for £500, which doesn't seem bad. Here's a link for the specific tyre: https://www.blackcircles.com/brands/goodyear/efficientgrip-performance-2/205-55-r17-v-95?tyre=48109058

This, and as somebody who this summer took delivery of a brand new Kodiaq after test driving a multitude of other manufacturers (a special mention to Kia who make it infuriating, with the settings buried behind 4x menus!), the ADAS systems on Skoda aren't anywhere near as intrusive as other brands. 2x (or 3x if you want lane assist off also) quick presses of a button on the steering wheel and it's off. No rooting around menus. We have it easy.

You need 308, not 306. 308 supports almost all previous versions as you can see here Pretty sure you can get it from mibsolution as well but if not I have a mega link with a version here. once you go to 308 you can springboard straight o v332 which is the latest version widely available. We're on the cusp of v334 coming out but that hasn't been uploaded anywhere I can see

Hi Mate New here too Have Octavia Mk iV estate Pretty useful size wise for my range of tools

This is correct, hence me going for the suite option. Just to put this to bed, my dealer finally got another vRS into stock with the vented seats, and they are exactly the same as mine. So in short, it's nice to have the leather(ette), but if you want powerful vented seats then don't bother, they're crap.

There is. What version do you have at the moment? Go to Menu, Settings, then System then scroll to the bottom for Software Version or something like that. And do you have twisty knobs (Amundsen) or just touch screen buttons (Columbus)?

Again, you are not talking about the UK; we just don't have or will have the infrastructure to allow those trucks to become more common here, for sometime to come. I do accept, however, that for some companies and scenarios an EV could be the best solution for them, but for now, it is not a direct one-for-one swap. Also, tests done by various organisations here in the UK have shown that EV vans just cannot compete on the longer trips or those that are heavily loaded, with their ICE counterparts. Note, I'm not talking about last-mile delivery vans like those used by Royal Mail or other such companies, i.e., Amazon, DPD, etc., all of which may well appear to be fully laden if you look inside them, but the fact is that many of these cardboard boxes contain a smaller blister-packed item, surrounded by bubble wrap or other such protection. I have friends who work in council technical services, etc., and they report that their council trialled some EV vans, of the same type as their existing ICE ones. These EVs were quickly rejected; they could not complete a normal day's work without either running out of power to climb hills because of their load, or they were running out of battery and needed charging to make the return trip at the end of the day. Others have tested EV cars towing caravans and found them incapable of performing as well when towing and also dramatic reductions in their range compared to ICE versions of the same cars towing the same caravans

Its definitely a looker and a great bit of kit @Roscio Agree the rear brakes will just need a bit of a clean up. I had originally put DS2500 pads on my front and rear but because I didn't drive it hard all the time, the rears started to squeak after a few months. Ended up having to back to standard pads. I've since read opinions that the rear brakes are oversized for the standard front size and so the rears don't end up working hard in the standard brake-balance setup). Whoever picks up the car will definitely have plenty of fun!

Ok, so yesterday whilst returning home said light came on, it was amber coloured, it eventually went, but returned sparodically. Is there a power steering oil top -up point somewheer or is it likely to be something else, I cannot find any references on here. The car has covered 109k and is a deisel 140 Thanks in advance Tony S

Hey yeah it’s a DQ200 as far as I know.

Quick update on this - I purchased a caliper reader to measure the outer diameter of the adblue tube and the injector nozzle to make sure the parts would fit. Injector nozzle = 6.3mm (the new part is actually designed to recieve 6mm but I measured the internal diameter of another pnuematic connector and it was exactly 6.3mm so im guessing they have a small amount of wiggle room) Ad Blue tube = 4mm (this will connect into the 6mm-4mm conversion part)

I have the same problem and its driving me crazy! Its not the brake pedal, i replaced all parts. I also doubt that its the brake booster.. when the car stands still and i hit the brake pedal with the engine is on no sound.. Try to put your car in "N" while driving and brake.. also no sound at all! So maybe there is a point with the MHEV System.

I have a 2017 Kodiaq. Occasionally it gets the wrong speed limit for a road. A straight 1 mile road by my house has no posted speed limit signs. For part of the road, the car thinks it's a 30 limit. Then halfway down, it thinks it's 20. I always believ d that the car used visible signs ( we have sign recognition) or used data from the maps installed. These maps, I think are provided by Here. I have gone to the mapcreator website for Here maps, and checked that the speed data is correct 30 mph all along the road. My maps are up to date (as of sept 2026. When I raised this with my dealer, they said 'if the car can't see a speed sign, or doesn't have data for speed on the maps, it defaults to 20. When I asked why 20, not 30, they just shrugged. When I asked why the satnav can't allow a user to select a default value, they said that could be dangerous, because you could put in a wrong default, and then complain to Skoda when you got a speeding ticket! Absolute nonsense

Hi everyone, I have a 2018 Skoda Octavia 3 FL estate. The car currently doesn't have cruise control, and the right-hand stalk is used to control the on-board computer. Has anyone successfully retrofitted cruise control to this model? I'm looking for standard cruise control, not adaptive cruise control (ACC). I'd appreciate any information about what parts are needed and whether any coding or other modifications are required.
