The ACC Radar should detect where the car is ahead, ahead, left or right of you, and then it can work it out from that.. or not as was the problem with ACC prior to the software fix when it kept thinking it was in Europe and slammed the brakes on when legally overtaking in the UK on dual carriageways!!

Guess we’re all different; I use ACC a lot.

I’m pretty happy with the lane assist and no problem with the nudges. I turned off the steering wheel vibration though, and would like to turn off the bong too but last time I checked that wasn’t an option. I would take unnecessary nudges any day over an inadvertent/erroneous drift out of the lane. I do think there could be a UK ‘thing’ about it. I’m recently back from five weeks driving around France, anything from autoroute to minor single track roads. Far fewer nudges even though it was active a similar proportion of the time. The nudges seemed more gentle too. Nothing scientific in that, just a gut feel. I reckon Lane Assist is required for ACC so another reason not to disable it.

^^^ That is good, you know what the car has and can do and turn off what you do not need or want. There are morons out today in Frost & Freezing fog that must think DRL,s light the rear of the car or Auto lights have tuned on Side Lights & Dipped beam. They might not know they have a rear Fog light on and they are sitting in traffic. No idea the Brake Lights are on when Autohold is active and they are just sitting stationary in traffic. No idea the tyre pressures unless there is a warning, or the oil is low, or the screen wash empty. They WALK among us, worse THEY DRIVE AMONG US.

FYI, this annoys af those behind you.

Personal preferences are always subjective, so each to his/her own as to which features we find useful - or not. Some features just take some getting used to, after a while their attributes might become more apparent. About a year ago a friend of mine told me how Lane Assist on her 2019 BMW saved her life, and possibly others. Returning home late evening after a gruelling 3 day conference interstate, she foolishly (by her own admission) drove home from the airport whilst dog tired. Collected her bag, hit the freeway and then momentarily dozed. Lane Assist vibrated the wheel which stirred her, then did it's thing to keep the car in lane. It gave her a nasty fright and she has vowed to take a cab if seriously fatigued in future, but the fact remains that LA and ACC were there when needed most. Probably goes without saying that she wouldn't be without those features and based on her experience alone, nor would I. Maybe disabling LA and ACC has merit in some driving environments, but the default to ON is no bad thing IMO.

No problem with lane assist. It doesn't exactly wrench the wheel out of your hands, in fact I'd describe it as more of a gentle 'reminder nudge'. Nearly all current gen cars are full of these tech features, it would surely drive me crazy to sit there disabling everything from lane assist to auto door locking every time I get in the car! If you've paid out the money for a hi-tech 'simply clever' car, why sit there disabling everything every time you get in it? Personally I'm happy to embrace the technology. If you can't, then maybe swap for it a more basic model of something, or get an older car...

Genuine question; Is this a thing in the UK, brake lights while stationary being frowned upon?

If it doesn't leak, leave well alone.

Do change the coolant from G13 to G12evo too, as the G13 coolant uses the silica for corrosion protection. I whipped my silica bag out when I discovered they were a bit of a time bomb waiting to go of, but it's worth changing the coolant either at the same time 12-24 months afterwards to make sure your corrosion protection is maintained in the coolant system.

Nah, that'd be just daft Only an eejit would do that (btw, and for the sake of clarity, I was just joshing)

I've tried clicking on the 'Take our survey ->' button ^^^, but it's not working for me 😁😇 G

I don't find the lane assist that bad on my VRS. Yes it does get fooled sometimes on the back roads, but I've had lots of new different electric cars over the past 3 years and some were dangerous in my opinion. Pulling the car far too hard. Ping bong all the time .........! The worst was the new Renault Megan. It picked up joins in the tarmac... Turning them off is in the depth of the system and has to be done every time. Now my camera is activated ( cost me £65) the ACC works from the GPS like the VW ID3 and Kona self driving tech. I use it every day. The distance gauge bar on the display is wrong but the system works. As mentioned above don't use cruise control or ACC in bad weather ! Happy safe driving everyone

Was a friend of mine that took it to the garage. I have removed the instrument cluster to check for dry solder joints however I am not sure which pins I should check. All of what I have done can easily be reversed thanks for your reply!

First thing I do everytime I get in the car is turn off lane assist and as many of the other “assistance” gizmos as I can. They are intrusive and annoying. I’ll drive the car myself thanks, I don’t need a computer doing it for me👍🏻

ACC should really be off in adverse weather conditions, Flooded roads where aquaplaning is a possibility, Snow / Ice etc. As CC should not be used.

ACC and Travel Assist work flawlessly even without Lane Assist.

Yeah, shes had a baptism of fire! Didnt go down well when I got the phone call at midnight, and I was away with work! Got it booked into our local garage Monday, as I cant source a replacement locally & quickly, and I work away Mon-Fri. Oh the joys.....

I only turn off in scenarios like this or when driving some quiet country roads

Nitrogen had nothing to do with the price of fish or the traction / grip of tyres at the correct pressures. Correct pressures being the thing. As to more stable on the rear. Lovely when the drive, steering , braking is coming from the front and ESP from all corners. Lovely to be stable as you try to correct a slide off the road using the ability of the stable rear on a Front Wheel drive vehicle. 'Scandinavian flick' maybe from drivers while trying to remember if the have Over Steer or Under Steer, and do the steer into a skid, and is the ABS providing grip to the front tyres that are less good than the rears. The OP should maybe take the car as now out on a big open car park / space when wet, cold or snow covered and see just how it is and if happy to be taking their nearest and dearest out in it during this season.

@mccririckIf they drift across to your side you are on your side. If you are the one drifting, that is what the system is for. If you leave it on then pay attention to what the road markings / lines are, kerb / verge side and centre line or line divider and see when you get that nudge, and pay attention on bends / corners and see when you get a nudge / lane assist action. It will not stop you driving with due care and attention and taking any avoidance. It might show you that you do not want to go for a Driving Test resit. I do not mean that in a nasty way. In my MINI in Edinburgh i miss the gentle lane assist i had in my Corsa Electric or in the other cars i drive. The MINI has a light shows but no NUDGE. I left the Systems on, and will leave them on even when there is Snow, Ploughed roads etc. It showed me just how poor my driving had become, lack of attention sometimes. Occasionally on fast hill roads i do put Lane Keep Assist off where there are patched roads with long lines of tar joining patches.

En-route rapid chargers rated: https://www.zap-map.com/news/best-en-route-charging-networks-2023-24 Not at all surprised Geniepoint and BP so poorly rated. Slightly surprised CPS is similarly rated as Gridserve. Latter is probably weighed down by the 2 charger sites at old EH stations. Top 5 would be my go to, if no Tesla superchargers nearby.

First chance to see how quick it clears the windows inside and out with remote pre-heating. I plugged in to charge after doing 42 miles last night when it was quite cold and it took 12 kWh to charge back to full. So that was 3.5 miles to a kWh which was fine given how cold it was and heating / ac on and trying to be sure the interior was pretty dry before the frost. 12 x 21 pence tariff i am on. £2.52 for 42 miles. A car reviewer that knows her stuff. There are many that should learn from her and get facts and not just what a Media Pack tells them and repeat it.

Unless the vehicle in front suddenly slows down, the car just decelerates/accelerates to maintain set distance - as far as I know. On a sudden reduction of speed, the brake lights may do the flickering dance. I find the only downside with ACC is when the driver in front constantly changes speed, up, down, up again and so on, which pushes you into the same annoying pattern, I guess that's the time you'd want to overtake and reset. Behind the fairly constant 100kph truck, or a car on cruise it works well, distance set to medium.

Here she is after an 8 month wait. Just had her Ceramic coated. 1.5 DSG Sportline

Headed out with a Tripod this evening- absolutely freezing 🥶

Thanks, the picture was useful! "Once the following vehicle has stopped" is the key there. It changes it all from just stupid to fully understandable. Anyway, the brake lights are red not only because it signals 'stop', but because red light doesn't compromise night vision, i.e. it hasn't really affected your low light vision once the car in front gets moving again.

I had this exact same issue after picking up my new Karoq SE L on Wednesday. Android Auto worked fine with a usb cable but dropped the wireless connection after a few seconds when not connected via usb and refused to reconnect. I found a reference online to a setting in my phone (Samsung Z Flip3) that suggested a conflict if Android Auto had been used on other cars. This seemed worthy of investigation as Android Auto worked seamlessly on my wife's Kamiq. On your phone open 'Settings' Select 'Connected Devices' Scroll down to and select 'Android Auto' You should see '+ Connect a Car' Below that click on 'Previously connected cars' Remove all cars in the list ( I had 2 x Skoda's) Ensure 'Add new cars to Android Auto' is enabled Close everything down, restart the car and see if it connects wirelessly. Mine connected automatically and after agreeing to the various permissions required on the phone it is working normally. Hope this helps.

If you look at my chart earlier in this thread, it seems to be an annual event. The mpg recorded is the rolling average of 4 fill ups rather than individual tankfuls. I can only guess that its a combination of temperature, humidity, lights on, & change to winter fuel. I fill up at the same petrol station, usually the same pump even and have done for the last 3 years, every Friday morning. As you say 55mpg is pretty good.

Same system as the superb so won’t make much difference but wrong forum section 😛 this is the default screen when there is no fault yes, so nothing to worry about. After setting pressures you press set, it confirms and the screen will look the exact same, if there were low pressures it turns orange.

Less forward displacement than I remembered: "Push the middle and rear silencer forward until the dimension -a- = 3 ... 7 mm is obtained on the retaining strap/middle silencer." I suppose it's so that when the exhaust heats up, expansion means the hanger ends up vertical/neutral.

Hi guys! I went to Prague yesterday to check out the all-new Škoda Superb. Here is a quick look video and a more detailed review. Enjoy! I would appreciate your like short comment on the video to help with the algorithm. Thanks! A New Kodiaq video coming as well.

Thank you, much appreciated

Understood. More specifically I was looking for what the pins on the connector are. Ehich has been answered. As for how the problem came to be, I don’t know I was given the car with the problem

Not doing maintenance, not charging or going to charge. I just go WTF you moron. Re ZapMap Survey. I got some Advance ZapMap as part of a pilot with Motability, that was a fiasco as already a ZapMap subscriber and they kept telling me to use another e-Mail address, log in as there was a member. So that got sorted eventually. I use ZapMap daily, and i report faults, errors on locations, new chargers. Sometimes a reply comes days or week later asking for more info. Their excuse was for over a year that Charge Place Scotland information was not available to them. Funnily when i tell PlugShare an update is required they come back in a day or 2 and update within a week or so. Never received or spotted any ZapMap Survey and if i had i would have rated the Providers including CPS. .............. Just received a survey today from Motability.

Lane Assist is quite simply just a piece of code continously checking (with the help of the camera) whether the driver is about to cross a lane marking unintentionally. All other rules, including undertaking, are still being enforced.

@Warrior193 - yes the belt is tight and not slipping. Getting it replaced on Monday regardless with the alternator. Thanks for responding!

No unfortunately not - I'm the other end of the country.

What engine and model do you have?

You need to rephrase your question, only you know what you are looking at. Is your question "does anyone know what I should be looking for?"? And is that in respect to the instrument cluster? If so the answer will likely be dry joints on the soldering of the main connector but others may confirm whether that afflicts Yetis as it does other vehicles.

Sounds logical, the car does not know that the driver is in the seat (passenger yes) so the logic is that you have locked the car from the outside, you cannot have the central locking button operative for a thief with a stick.

I'm glad I'm not the only one left who thinks for themselves and makes their own decisions, I don't even dare speak that view these days such is the level of brainlesswashing.

^^^ This. They will unlock and if someone needs in in an emergency they will break the door glass as can be done with a short sharp tap. Glass breaking hammer. (They really should be in every cars drivers side pocket, that are only a couple of quid.)

I disable lane assist because it's annoying. I don't want to feel unnecessary "reminder nudges" when I'm focusing on the road. As I've already pointed out you feel it when you are deliberately off-centre on the road and there can be legitimate reasons for being off the centre line. I doubt many people purchased the car because it has lane assist. It was forced upon us - bundled in with everything else.

Understood. Sorry for your loss.

It removes the risk of it bursting and the expense that involves.

Some really interesting information here on how this type of engine operates @EnterName. I must admit to having little interest in an engine with performance beyond what I need on public roads and probably even less in mapping for more performance, BUT the apparent excellent consumption results you are achieving has piqued my interest. I've always said power is easy, efficiency is far more difficult but assumed where consumption improves it is probably due to the mapping not having to meet stringent manufacturers emissions standards One question in my mind is whether you have confirmed the accuracy of the displays with actual figures during refueling post map? Even allowing for a bit of display optimism, and the fact you are driving economically, I have got to say they are still probably the best I can remember seeing reported on Briskoda for a 2.0tsi.

So we're into August by now and rear diffuser just didn't scream vRS at all, infact the standard design is just crap. . So on went a Rieger tuning part in gloss black, second hand from a member on here. Before After Around the same time I also gathered the parts to do the bonnet lifters from the thread on here. These should have been a factory item on these cars in my opinion.

Dealers use what's called a BTACbox (NAS - Network Attached Storage) and this device downloads updates overnight for Flash files, Database updates for their diagnostic platform, and finally MMI (Multimedia updates) The OCU updates come from the MMI folder, so they don't exactly need to download something they already have. Translation, cheeky lying swines.

the mere fact that I don't have to unfold a physical map every 30min to figure out my next turn (when going on a long trip) is indeed progress now I just enter an address in my phone (doesn't even matter if its in another country), and phone will figure out the best route to get there (in most cases), I just connect the phone to my car and have the directions on cars screen - want to find a petrol station or restaurant ? no problem, 2 taps and I get a listing of all stations/restaurants that are open and don't require going off route It will even warn me of road closures or traffic jams and offer me alternative routes also I can use internet radio for spots with bad radio analogue signal can't get much easier than that Don't need navigation/internet radio? Ok, just use the cars built in infotainment system as you did years ago I don't understand how anyone can claim life was much simpler years ago..
