Evening all, Just checked erWin to have a look around and I can see there is still the option to register as a private individual , not only for companies. Is it worth a try , cost vs data downloads i mean?

Hi, Need more input to find the correct part number. Also is swaping the 3Q2 423 051H motor (the one on the car) with 5Q2 423 051 AB motor a good idea tossolve the problem. The play in the mechanical part of 3Q2 423 051h.

New battery ?

Hi, my key fob seems not very reactive to the doors also when pointing the fob to open/close the boot lid. Please help. Thanks

How did you solve rack issue.

@JR RS has done a brilliant guide. Make sure you have a good battery charger connected as a failed battery during this process can be catastrophic.

I think you have to pay the full balance if you want to cancel.

Mine are Phillips cool white w5w led bulbs. Were fitted by previous owner and appear to have a resistor in the light fitting too.

Do you have any new information?

Octavia iV estate MY2021 last few days cannot connect my Android phone (Motorola) (was previously no problem). Have tried a different phone (Pixel) - same problem. Both phones upto date with Google software etc Any advice?

Not sure I can answer your questions specifically. But I love the solution on this one to keep OEM look with super sprint back boxes

Hello, Sorry if this is a tired topic, but I don't really understand it properly. I fell into the trap of consulting AI on it a lot back in May as it would give quick responses to all the details, and at the time it seemed like it was realistic and made sense, but really it doesn't seem to track. So originally my MK1 Fabia had a hard pedal. After a wild goose chase with the servo and its vacuum pipe (which would have become a problem later anyway), we found that the actual cause was a blockage in the ABS pump causing 1 wheel to receive no brake fluid. So we replaced the ABS pump and the pedal was a lot softer and we had much better braking performance. We bled the brakes a few times and replaced the front brake pads as my dad wanted to change them. Then we ended up bleeding them again as we noticed that the pedal was a bit soft. I don't remember at what point we first noticed this, and if any difference was made by the brake pads. It is possible that it was always that soft, but we didn't notice initially as we were expecting a much softer pedal after fixing the old hard pedal. So my Uncle who is a car mechanic who we asked about it, insisted that the brakes were soft because of the new pads and I was just overblowing it because I'm a snowflake or whatever. But I can't see that it would make them that soft, and 1000 miles later the pads should be worn in but there isn't any difference. So originally we assumed it was air in the system and we bled it a load more, but we don't know if there is air in the pump that can only be bled by doing a VCDS bleed. But surely the air trapped in the pump that a VCDS bleed would get out, would not be part of the normal braking hydraulic circuit, until ABS kicks in and extra valves open and the pump has to operate. Otherwise you would be able to bleed it normally and only have the braking dynamics change after an emergency stop where extra air is introduced to the normal circuit. But then I looked more into what I heard about how you are not supposed to use the full pedal travel when doing a 2 man bleed. My dad said he didn't think this was necessary as he had never had that problem with another car. So the AI ended up convincing me that I had damaged the master cylinder seals by bleeding it improperly, which I came to accept, but I haven't yet bought the parts for that job as I keep putting it off as I'm anxious about bleeding the clutch and that becoming a similarly long story. I have already determined which master cylinder and servo mounting gasket I need for that. I just haven't ordered anything. So I've been driving it like this for about 1000 miles (admittedly a lot of them motorway/dual carriageway, but not exclusively) and it stops perfectly fine, just the pedal travel is obviously more than it is supposed to be. I've kind of got used to this now. My dad thinks it might fail its MOT, which is on Friday, for insufficient reserve pedal travel. So I've been told to get the new master cylinder ordered in case we need to change it for a re-test. But today I am looking at other posts on this topic, and it sounds like when the master cylinder seals fail, this is normally accompanied by fluid leaking from the master cylinder either into the engine bay or into the servo. To my knowledge, neither of these have been occurring and the fluid level has not gone down significantly since we last messed with it. I would expect it to go down a bit due to the brakes bedding in. I need to check this again though in the light tomorrow. I hadn't been looking for leaks there before, only at the ABS pump unions. So now I am wondering whether it is the seals after all, or is air in the system. How do I tell? The brakes don't "pump up", which is why I didn't think it was air in the system. Instead, you get a bit of travel, then the pedal gets harder, then if you press on the pedal for a longer time, it very gradually sinks. You can only really do that if the engine is running and the servo is active. The pedal doesn't actually hit the floor, but I don't know if that is possible or if there is a stop somewhere that another part of the pedal hits, or in the MC. So that seems like the MC seals, but why then are you still able to get good braking pressure, and why is there no fluid loss? The master cylinder is the 19 FTE 5615 one if it makes a difference. And the ABS pump is the mid range one that has ASR but not ESP, I think, though I can't remember exactly. Mine doesn't have the ASR button but I think that's because it's an '07 and you can't turn it off. It definitely isn't the ESP one though as we didn't need to do the steering angle calibration when we replaced it. Sorry I've made this really long winded. I'm just trying to include as much information as possible that might be relevant. Elliott

Anyone looked at this and the possibility of it working with our platform? GitHub youtube Basically mirroring Android Auto / Apple Carplay navigation to the Virtual Cockpit Display This looks the closest option Github

@lol-lol I just watched the Kei car special of the Grand Tour, a bloody good watch and a laugh.

I promised an update. Haven't forgotten but only heard last week from Skoda Customer Services that after due consideration they will not be covering this under warranty. It took several months to come to this predictable decision. The car has driven perfectly with no problems and no more messages. I still wonder if it's a software glitch and not an an actual physical fault.

The Scenic is very roomy and fits the 6 foot five son in law (getting an ID Buzz this week and getting rid of his VW Caddy as who knows were fuel prices are going to stop going up and even be available to buy at fuel stations) in the front or back of the Scenic. His brother is 6 foot 10 inches so car choice limited, he might be too big perhaps. Yes my 60 /65 KWh was the unusual choice compared to the 87 / 92 KWh version but I was confident it would cope with my Worcester to Heathrow, Liverpool or even Felixstowe business trips. Same for my 5 as I went for the 40 /43 KWh rather than the more common rather than the more common 52 / 55 KWh version. Worked out OK and saved thousands and the lighter cars are more efficient, maybe by only 0.1 or 0.2 KWh per mile. Mg 5 weighs less than 1400 Kg and cannot imagine any car is very much quiter when in motion though I think 18 inch wheels on all models was a bit overkill. Thinking of trying 16 inch all weather or winter tyres especially as we are due a Super El Nino winter just in to 2027.

From what I've seen, it is usually possible to have cruise retrofitted - but I don't think it's a simple DIY job, at a minimum involves replacing the LH stalk and coding. Possibly something best left to a specialist.

I think that’s what I did, gonna try the over the air update next longer run

I think the point @skomaz was making is correct for the average EV, not everyone wants a compact car with a small battery. I think it's more likely that even with your car, most would opt for the bigger battery?

Buy OEM with white color something like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/147366877216?_skw=Skoda+Superb&itmmeta=01M3MGS4VRQ1ZQNCK33QJETDWB&hash=item224fc01820:g:fZMAAOSwvBVnYRkZ&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0DKQclQvzFwZQpmMrsO4Luq0ATn9HMUgJm8Do936g5IkiGCi0tA3syrNlg5GVqbYufNuuDgpDVHzcMDpdjtn6c9Vh0wmhBh5GpzISZYGnuDbgZZKPFwZgzMnxC%2BKkcZfI6htehq7KMW9yGFBhufFbM42mwu0Bzznq2ZfSGbD8ejySjicUTf%2FVShQm%2FSZc2op2DtzJOBegXGPoIVGfFotx7n3%2Bed%2Bo3IyOj0EleOaSVjGGw9QTiBhcJcW1z%2F88ZUYYJp08TyXTFQ3XFGaOqAnH34%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_7N5JCdaA

Thanks @ Jason_E & @Warrior193 . Still trying to get the car scanned for DTCs. May have some more info in the morning. Sadly the French don't seem to do anything quickly.

Yeah my Scenic is the 60 / 65 KWh version and weights about 100 kgs less than the 87 / 92 KWh version as only two thirds of the battery compartment are populated with batteries. As the torque is quite similar but the weight quite different the acceleration is quite similar. In the new Scenic due out in France this fall the smaller batteried version now has LFP rather than NMC chemistry which is less energy dense so the smaller battery capacity version, 67 KWh, will be similar weight to the 90 KWh but the LFP batteries are much cheaper and don't mind being regularly charged to 100% when the norm for NMC is 80% charge threshold and 100% only occasionally. Both will get the 220 hp rather than use the 170 hp motor mine has. You have the 1.4 TSI and 4x4 with auto or manual ? Liked my 1.4 tsi dsg in my Octy but I think it helped get me nicked for speeding as it slipped in to ECO freewheel mode and crept over 80 mph. In the EV I would have just applied a bit of regen back in to the battery. Br interesting to see which cities follow Paris and hit the vehicles over 2.4 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight. Cardiff is one and I heard Reading and others to follow suit. My Scenic version slips under at 2340 Kgs. Looks like several Kodiaqs (2s ?) are over the 2.4T threshold and would have to pay the extra city entry fee. Model-Gross Vehicle Weight - kg Max. Towing Weight - Braked 12% - kg Max.

Hi. I tried to update the navigation system, and I likely had a corrupted file. Now, a software recovery process is running in a loop and asking for the base version—specifically: MHI2_ER_SKG13_K4524 I found the firmware to download on Mibsolution.one. I found the software on mibsolution.one, unzipped it, and put it on an SD card; it enters the recovery procedure, but after installing the program, it encounters an error during verification and restarts. Could someone provide a link where I might download this version from?
