And here's my final setup. 1000w JBL in custom enclosed box with the right amp. Kept the canton sub connected also, why not. No other changes to the oem speakers. Not a huge change in "size" of the bass but the punch is way stronger and it just fills in better.

Well I had some good news they've conceded that it's a warranty job and BOTH are to be replaced as both have cracked on two different places. So that's just saved me about £1200!

Seconded... If you haven't got stop/start (or battery monitor) then no need to code the new battery

Nothing to code then. (disclaimer: to the best of my knowledge)

Hi Folks, my summer trip is over. We did 4500 miles from East of the UK to Newcastle, (ferry), Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, Gdansk, Warsaw, Gdansk (you can see the pattern), Warsaw, Amsterdam, (ferry), Newcastle, home. We got almost fully specced IV60, three people on board and a hell of luggage (because we haven't seen our families for almost two years). Long story short: I would buy this car again. Long story longer: I would also modify the spec. So from the start. I love how this car looks, in-and outside. Let me say that Newcastle border officers were so amazed that THIS is Skoda that they completely ignored the fact that we were carrying WMD (7yo with an urge to resume his Rammstein playlist). At every single charging point (If we were not alone), someone was there with questions. It looks crazy good. Now, interior. We selected Lodge to have a bright eco-friendly (as much as possible) interior. I love how the fabric knee rest stays soft and cool on extremely hot days (yes, sometimes I am driving in shorts). I used to hate front cupholders, I am still unhappy, but thanks to a really spacious driver zone, I can live with door pocket bottle holders. The rear bench... well, I can just tell you that thanks to EV architecture and no middle tunnel it's marvellous. I can sit behind myself without any problems and I can switch Isofix mounting while being inside instead of running around the car. top three packages that you 'must have'. 1) driver assistance - OMG. I love it. really, got the Plus version, this greatly reduces your fatigue on the motorways. All you have to do is to control the environment and squeeze the wheel every 45-60 seconds. Other than that it's almost an autopilot (on motorways). Two negatives: sometimes the system reads speed limits from the past (roadworks?) or from the road above/below. Trust me you don't want to feel an emergency stop to 60 km/h while you were going 164km/h. The second, system is VERY lane centric, so if some safe-distance-sceptic driver wants to cut in front of you, your car will start to slow down only when his beemer hit the middle of the lane. too late. Same case with bikers. The system tends to completely ignore them if they are overtaking you by going next to the edge. 2) light and view - IF you plan to travel at night this is 'night and day' (sorry, I had to). The lights are amazing. One weak spot. IF your motorway got mid-size lane separators, you will blind truck drivers, as the system will not see their main lamps, so will not cut the light. Sorry folks! 3) HUD. shows everything you need in a better way than the main cluster. Sadly AR nav works only with terrible onboard navigation. Now, what I would change. I could any day forget about the sleeping package and trunk controlled towing hook to get a motorised tailgate. I hate this hatch. I have to close it twice to make sure it's closed only to discover it's still open when I start the car. In the past, I was the person who said 'ignore the battery size, charging speed is more important'... and no, or.. yes and no. Because I had to go across Germany (twice) and Poland (four times), I was forced to use motorways, and with a 60kW battery, it was like 1:10h of driving 45minutes of charging, rinse and repeat. The 60 is a perfect size for everyday use, but as soon as you plan some truly serious distances, you should consider a bigger battery, especially if in your country you don't have a lot of really fast chargers. Meeting Tesla owners in a queue for a single 50kW charger is not a pleasant experience. Because I don't plan to repeat this trip next year I am fine with my 60. But I was really surprised how hard is to find a fast charger when you need one. What I miss: * rear bench domestic plug (for the UK spec). Seriously, we paid the same price, continental Europe got the plug, we got a cover. On the longer trips, you really want to plug in your laptop while you are charging your car for the sixth time. * A/Ced compartment. this is an EV. having a small cooled compartment in the glovebox or in the armrest is something that sounds like a natural idea, you don't have to care about power! but no. * 40/20/40 split and adjustable rear bench. Like I showed in my previous posts you lose a lot of space because of rear seats angle. If you could make them more upright the trunk would be so much more useful What I don't like, also known as 'the first world problems list': * laura. * central cluster, lucky for me I got HUD, but listen. On your central cluster you can't find information about the current status of the battery (in percentage), you can't check your energy usage (in m/kW or kW/100km), but you can see that you have a charging port on the right!! and that you can have D or B mode. No seriously. You have a constant reminder that the charging port is on the right. Like you forgot about that since last charging, it was yesterday after all. * right thumb fidget spinner. If you buy a driver assistance package the controller under the most powerful finger of your body is obsolete, to compensate that Skoda decided to hide ACC distance controller at the top of an additional controller on the left side, constantly hidden behind the steering wheel. Why? Because **** logic (or because we decided to reuse some parts from older models). * shutting down the car instantly after raising your butt from the seat. As a UK driver on my continental Europe trip I had to leave my seat to pick up motorway toll ticket, parking entry ticket, buzz myself in, pickup my sweet chilli twister, venti latte macchiato with double caramel, triple espresso and pumpkin spice at least four times a day. and after every single raising my bum off the seat I had to wait two minutes to reconnect my android auto, resume navigation, restore ev notify. because the car wanted to save 0.0000000001kWh of energy. * laura. * single wireless charging mat without any ventilation - self-explanatory. after 10 hours I decided to switch to cable. I could not afford to get my phone exploded. * touch-sensitive control for the roof. the worst solution ever. if only some assistant could open and close the roof for you, or wait... * laura - the most useless part of the car * rear window wiper - you waste 80% of liquid because the jet is so much on the left * front window jets - fine in the UK, but above 120km/h they hardly hit the middle of the window * shortcut buttons - they work as a separate layer, which means that if you press clima button, and then you want to switch to android auto with the favourite bar, you have to close the clima menu by clicking the button again even if the shortcut is still visible. * user experience of infotainment - best example, climate control. you got three controls for each seat, blue minus, a numeric representation of temperature, red plus. Now my expectation, if I press blue minus, the temperature is reduced by half of the degree, if I press the number I got a numeric selection, the red plus increase the temp by a half degree. Easy, right? NO! pressing anything turns the screen to almost black, then you can select temperature from numeric selection (while plus/minus automatically change temp by half deg). You were watching navigation while your wife decided that's too cold inside? bad luck. Another example? When you turn your parking assist on, sometimes (quite randomly) you got a settings menu that covers the top of the screen, just where your fronts sensors and camera are. So you can't see how close you are to a concrete wall, but you can launch the menu to change the brightness of the screen. Seriously? The same thing with the air purifying, when you start the option you see the HUGE logotype in the middle, you touch it and nothing happened... because the button is in the top left corner. just close to the continental driver, and the most hidden place for the UK driver, because who would check the spec of the car, right?. Another one? If you turn the climate off, in the top right corner you see the vent with the slider, which suggest that you could just touch it and turn the climate on, right? No, you have to find the climate button behind your cups, press, turn it on, press again to turn the menu off, why... oh why... (also, I am available if you are looking for user experience quality tester) * laura even if the negatives' list looks extensive, this is nitpicking (with a small exception for laura, she is really useless). I still consider this car as the best in the segment in June 2021 (still have to check Ioniq 5 and EV6). I truly miss P2 acceleration, but then I remember the single cupholder and I am happy with my choice. See you on the road!

i just bought h7 bulbs today, osram long life, 4 year warranty, these have a good pattern, for standard look bulbs very good, £11 from ecp, as above night breakers are very good, ive got them in my fiesta, or try phillips racingvision GT200, got them in my nissan note, abSOLUTELY fantastic bulbs, feels like im drivING in day light

Hi All, I used to own a 2010 Fabia 1.6tdi Elegance (FY60 URJ) which I traded in last year on a new mk3. I was wondering since if the new owner was on here at all? I have the service book still...

Sorry forgot that. It’s the diesel 2.0 150bhp. The warranty work done in January was roughly at 40,000 miles and involved a draining and refilling of the oil

Unfortunately you have the older EA111 engine, JBS has offerings for it but nothing here helps you sadly. Exhausts are also specific to chassis aswell as engine, so Golf / Leon / A3 / Octavia? (Or is it Superb?) are the same as they're all MQB chassis (given a specific engine), but the Fabia / Ibiza / A1 / Polo one is different given they all use the PQ26 chassis. For those with EA211 engines, the exhausts are interchangeable between the 1.2/1.4 (many use the exact same part from factory). Provided you find a 1.4 exhaust from the same platform, it'll fit. Most of the decat downpipes you see online are all for the Golf platform, so won't fit the fabia etc.

@Cooldrim So what engine was this? That then gives a clue to which DSG! Servicing on the button is not much on a 3 year old car. Is it a Wet Clutch DSG so oil changed at 40,000 miles?

Where did you get the car from? Any idea about previous owner(s)? If it was a demo/rental/courtesy car, then chances are it hasn't had the care and love when being driven that other cars get!

Thanks guys mine is BMD also. It was strange it has only done it the 1 time and I noticed it was after it took 2 cranks to start. Once the engine had been switched off and restarted it was fine and I have done about 150 miles since then without an issue. I'll keep an eye on it but if it does it again I will try a new crank sensor as that code seems to relate to that. I was concerned that the chain might have jumped a tooth or stretched or something after reading other comments, causing an implausible signal at the sensor but I think it's a duplex chain and doesn't rattle so hopefully was just a minor glitch.

Have you read Trevs build thread? It's a cracker! I'd like to do something to it myself but I've no idea what (other than the new windscreen 😅)

I'm finally picking up my car this friday 15.10.2021 after ordering it on 23.2.2021, it has been a really long wait but we will see if it was worth it :D. Its 2.0 DSG 116hp Ambition, with quite a few extras added. Funny thing is the dealer called me on monday when he got the info that car arrived in my country from the transporter, Skoda didnt even gave him like a week heads up xD, because status on friday 8.10.2021 was still in production 🤷‍♂️.

Thanks for the info mate, I know they’re quite mappable but given this will be a daily/ long distance car I’ll save the modding antics for the 300bhp ST that’ll be parked next to it 😉 Having said that it might get a dirty diesel spec exhaust on it just for giggles…

Hey, Thanks so much for the help, it's exactly as you said. Thanks!

Just had a message from our dealer. Week 28 or 29 build week car has arrived at dealer. Arranged pick-up on 29th October. Not really sure why it is going to take so long, but at least I now know when to dispose of my current car.

Loved you're MK2 mate, shame you got rid. Hopefully you find the new owner.

Only had it a few weeks and i keep get random comments on the colour 🙂

That was me I think. It referred to an Audi A6 Avant collected a short while ago by a neighbour. I got all 3 keys with the iV on Monday.

Has also made me realise why factory integrated dash cams aren't a thing.

Welcome to the forums, Levi!

Now found the brochure / price list online, seems there are 8 option packs The brochure uses the eye catching orange paint (£975 extra) One set of optional wheels is hefty £1255 It almost seems that to match the spec of an Octavia, got to pay more, as an example a 1 litre SE tech spec Octavia is £21,720. The spec’d up Fabia to match it costs lots more, why ? Even a rip off compared to other Skoda models https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/775d73bc-eb9d-4a50-911e-863d73b99333

A week ago, there was no production date on my car either, and then I got a call yesterday that the car is finished. So stay hopefull

Better traction in reverse!

Really not impressed. I knew the SEL DSG would be expensive but the base price and then the options list is an absolute rip off. Deposit contribution is tiny in comparison to the offer for the Scala. Finance calculator seems to indicate Skoda contribution is 1k but the offers page says it is only £750. Not impressed that to add wireless charging you have to add Kessy which is an additional £195 despite the fact its already listed in the standard equipment for the car. Not impressed at having to fork out £300 for front parking sensors in addition to the rear ones. Surely on this trim they should have front and rear as standard.

Strange one. Maybe grab one of those little LED voltmeters that plug into your lighter socket so you can see what the charging system is doing at various rpms. On your car I think the connector pair with DFM and alternator excitation wire will be the top, black pair, seen here just below the starter motor.

A few months ago, I was considering changing our 9 year old Skoda to new Fabia (my wife likes smaller size, as easier to park), but it’s such poor value and weirdly configured. There are some features I want (which are very expensive extras), features I don’t need or care about (which I have to pay for), and the UK Brexit rip off where it is costing 25% more than Germany. Skoda Special offer to the person with plonker tattooed on his forehead £3000 extra of your hard earned money, than the customer across the channel. Umm…… Sorry but it’s not for me with the rip off pricing, and by time it is delivered (sometime in 2022), may as well wait few extra months and get new small electric car, or might just consolidate and go from 2 cars to one.

Thanks gents, that’s great advice. It’ll be a cannonball straight from Calais to Croatia so I don’t think this will be a huge issue. The main things I’d really like to know are, for example, whether the awd system in the scout is reliable or troublesome, whether the 1.9 PD is really that much more reliable than the 2.0 and whether any of the 4 cars have known problems to look for when buying. As I said, my main area is Ford so Skodas are new to me, but I’ve heard very good things about these Octavias.

It is finding the sweet spot. Renault continue to put 36 psi for the front and 33 psi for the rear for the 16 inch tyres, no recommended inflation pressure if one was carrying 4 passengers and luggage oddly. What is does say though is a slightly cavalier statement....... "If the tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, increase the pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI)" When they say cold they of course mean ambient. Tyre could be warm because one has just come off a trip or parked in the sun and the tyres are at closer to body temperature ie 35C rather than ambient would is likely to be more like 15C. Air with a bit of moisture in it acts as a semi-perfect gas so roughly each 10C fall or rise in temperature adds or subtracts a PSI. Above 0.3 bar is 4.35 PSI so even Renault is a bit loose with their conversions, its only those English types who use that ancient measurement along with eels and the like. Hence every where one looks Zoe owners tell each other to run nearly 40 PSI all around. Yes I would not run the fronts far from the recommended ie where probably 2/3rds of the braking is done Zoe is already 60/40 front weight biased even without braking weight transfer. 40 PSI in the back gives the car an even more rigid in not slightly more hard ride but not really harsh. I am already starting to leave stuff in the boot ie both charge cables granny and 22 kw AC cable, God that is a thick jobby. I presume other cars that can only charge AC at 7 or 11 kw could run with a thinner and lighter cable as the 22 kw Zoe one is heavyish.

Reserve and Battery Hold are similar. Reserve lets you set the battery percentage you want it to hold at. Eg if set at 20% it'll use it up until it gets to 20. Or it'll charge it up to 20 if it's empty

I agree Minigill! Having spent a bit of time looking over the brochure it works for the S and SE Comfort models where buyer will probably not bother with any extras. I am not impressed though for those of us looking to personalise their choice. I think I am now going to go for my 2nd choice - a Scala SE with quite a few extras. The Scala has the bigger boot I’m after, a £2250 deposit contribution and is an established model. Still have to bear the 6 to 9 month lead time. It will work out a fair bit cheaper for me as well. I wish I hadn’t waited for the Fabia to be honest.

Yeah, hopefully. Seems to be a lot more complicated than just a supply issue though. https://vervetimes.com/why-the-chip-shortage-is-so-complex-according-to-experts/

Likewise.

As well as the options being scary there a few missing from what is offered elsewhere. I was keen to have folding mirrors, blind spot monitoring and a folding front passenger seat but as far as I can see they are not being offered. Also too many ‘Packages’. For instance you cant specify a variable boot floor on its own. Same with heated front seats. Overall this is a disappointing offering from Skoda UK. As SurreyJohn says there is quite a price penalty to pay here as well as poorer choice than on the continent.

So, one from March and one from April delivered or about to be delivered - that's encouraging! Entirely no news on mine from 8th of March, but hopefully the March round of orders is slowly heading towards being finished. I surely hope so!

I read Max had a catalogue of excuses as to why he didnt beat Bottas, the steering wheel wasnt straight. The gear indicator wasnt in the right mode. The tyres wore out. Yawn. How about, "I was too slow today" I'd believe and respect that one.

Progress is a bit slow as every job a start leads to another job, delaying the one I originally started. I just replaced both petrol tank straps. One was really badly rusted. The other may have cleaned up, but they are not that dear to buy new so I just replaced them

after almost two month listening the canton system in the new 2021 VRS i can clearly say that over the standard system there is little to almost no difference. don't be sad that you couldn't spec it. it doesn't worth it.

Long time lurker... just went through a similar process to the people above, thought to clarify a few points that might be useful to anyone with the same questions/issues The Mk3 Superb comes with 3 official options for "insuring mobility" or however Skoda marketing calls them Tire repair kit with compressor and goo - under the floor there is a moulded polystyrene piece with extra storage space - like in @newbie69's picture. It can be easily removed by pulling out the floor cover (lift and pull towards you) and then pushing the moulded piece up and away from you (towards the backseat). The floor is perfectly flush and level when it's installed but you are operating on the assumption that any issues you might face will be small and fixable with the goo... 4-6 mm max damage size, not too close to the tread edge and that the rim is still in good shape - good for fuel economy and some bonus storage space, bad for peace of mind Standard spare wheel - it's a 205/55 R16 (a plain-jane 91 load-index asymmetrical summer tire) mounted to a 16x6.5 ET41 VW-spec ( 5x112 CB 57.1) steel rim. It comes with the small-diameter tool kit moulding that you can see in the pictures above - if you want just the kit, the Skoda part no. is 3V0 093 860 B - should cost about 60-ish EUR. The kit INCLUDES the floor attachment/fastener so you have all you need in the package. The wheel is in one of the most frequent sizes in Europe so feel free to avoid the dealer markup and buy it from a tire shop or elsewhere online. The tool kit and the upper side of the wheel protrude a little above the horizontal, so you have a 2-3 mm tall "hump" in your load area that slowly becomes visible with usage. The wheel is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the standard fitment so it is a temporary fit and you are limited to 50 mph/80 kph. Because of the difference in diameter (671mm for the standard 19in vs 632mm for the 205/55R16) many functions will be unavailable (ACC and the like) and there will be some complaining from the car. For slightly better results, the spare should be fitted - if you've got the patience for it - to the rear (undriven) wheels. Most impacted are the people with a 4x4 transmission because the Haldex diff really doesn't like different tire sizes - so for its sake, please fix the proper wheel quickly and put it back on. This size is meant only for the <200HP cars (actually that would be all but the higher-powered 2.0 TSIs ) because it can't clear the front brake calipers on those - it will clear the rear ones though - so in theory you could still use this on the bigger TSIs but with the caveat that if you blow a front tire you need to mount the spare to the rear and then use the rear tire to replace the blown front tire. Narrow spare wheel - 125/70 R18 comes as standard/option - depending on the market - on the higher-powered 2.0 TSI versions of the Superb and can clear the front brakes on those. It comes with the larger-diameter moulding (the one that looks like it has petals) that you can see in @Ivan8192 's photo above. The petals are meant to fill the space above the narrow wheel ( just 125 mm wide) and support the load-bearing floor so that it doesn't bend/collapse with a heavier load. The wheel is pretty standard for the VAG group and Skoda sells it for a bit under 200 EUR - with the toolkit being another 60-ish on top - the toolkit includes the floor attachment plastic screw thing. The code for the wheel is 3V0 093 860 B and the one for the toolkit (if you only want that one) is 3V0 093 860 C - there is no point though in getting that kit for a non-narrow wheel . The wheel is smaller-diameter than the standard wheels, same as the one above (632 mm) so the same problems apply (no Cruise-control, not so great for the Haldex, etc) - and with it being so narrow, I would feel really uncomfortable with it as a front wheel at high speed - so the same idea with mounting the spare only on the rear and then putting a full-size rear tire on the front applies Unofficial options Full-size wheel - 215/60R16 or 215/55R17 or 235/45R18 or 235/40R19... the plastic trim at the back of the trunk must be partially cut to allow the wheel to fit - what @JR RS did and the load floor will be raised because of the wheel width (by 12-15 mm for the 215 wheels or by 30ish mm for the 235s ). You can then either raise the floor to keep it level - what @Tokebluff did or just ignore it if it's hidden under the variable load floor... OR... Alternate-size wheel - i went a bit weird for this one - 205/65R16 - it is the same diameter as the standard wheel (673mm vs 671mm for the 19in) so there should be no complaints from the car's systems (ACC works, Haldex is happy and all that) and with the 205 width it fits just as the 205/55R16 would under the trunk floor. The only issue is that it must be inserted from the the front back rather that dropped straight down - the side towards the bumper must go in first to clear the trim there. It DOESN'T clear the front brakes on the higher-powered 2.0 TSIs but it can be installed on the rear (same story as above) and the rear tire used on the front - and then you can drive with full speed. Typical install is on a 16x6.5 ET41 5x112 CB57.1 rim with a very slight (~1mm) lift of the load floor - BUT - if you want to have it absolutely flush, you can mount it to a slightly narrower rim (16x6 rim, ET anywhere between 33 and 48, same specs otherwise)

I read and comment having in my mind that, Yoss can make the correction. You are not some kind of ''God" which has the right to judge anyone,you are just a common mortal guy. As for your suggestion a have an answer "Go and fetch me a banana" and now we have a draw.

I forgot to add that adjusting the lights' intensity in the menu has no effect.

I have owned my 2016 Fabia III since July and all the internal lights worked fine. Then 2 weeks ago the panel lights went out driving home in the dark (with the headlights lit). 10 mins later they came on again. Since then, I find the instrument panel lights are (usually) on in daylight but go off at night! In both cases, they either brighten or come on with the headlights. This is totally illogical; panel lights should dim at night to protect night vision. Has the sensor in the rev. counter gone berserk?
