    Most likely an ABS wheel speed sensor problem, all those systems need accurate vehicle speed. You need a fault code scan done to get the details.
  2. How it looks, chiselled, stylish and well proportioned. Something you can't say about the new Superb. The fact that you will never run out of space, I've had a full-size bath tub in the car, in fact I can't think of anything that I haven't been able to fit it. The reliability and low running costs. Nothing major has failed and anything that has, has been cheap to replace. Small things like the design of the door handles and the feeling and sound of opening and closing the door. Crucial touch points are spot-on. The faultless ergonomics. I'm looking at EV's and while the screens are seductive the ergonomics are shambolic by comparison. The good visibility. Generous glazing and no blindspots make a parking easy despite the size. The overall economy, refinement and performance of the 1.4 TSI engine. The generous storage space inside the car for all your heart and ends. And the fact that those storage areas have covers unlike some modern cars where there is just a big bin in the centre console so you have to look at your mess! Small things, such as it be easy to change lightbulbs. Most cars this can be a nightmare but in the Skoda it is the job of a few minutes with easy access. There are plenty more but all of the above worries me that any replacement will fall short of the standards set by this really excellent car. A BMW F10 520D preceded the Superb I prefer the Skoda in almost every way.

    Not that we are likely to hear the words spoken on this forum but does anybody know anybody who has anything but good things to say about the Yeti they own or have owned? They really seem to be remarkable in terms of owner satisfaction, my car is no different under the skin to the MK2 Octavia that I had before (MK1 before that) but such a different character which still immensely pleases me in a way that the Octavia didn't in the slightest. It cannot compete with the Octavias for carrying capacity which has been and still is essential for me but I no longer care about that so strong is the love affair.
  4. Got my delivery date as next Wednesday, can't wait. Seems there were a fair few delivered over the Christmas period!
  5. Ok, watch this video and then tell us if you think self-driving cars are a good idea,
  6. My thought was the kill switch could be a two stage one. The first press could default to a 'safe stop' routine and if that didn't work the second would instigate a system shutdown and total stop wherever the vehicle happened to be.
  7. I can understand your excitement @BazGee! I am also fully invested in the hype train, with delivery coming next Tuesday. Same day as having boiler replaced and meant to be working from home all-day...might be one of those days that the internet goes down or laptop might break hey, ha. Upload pictures when you can @BazGee
  8. I traded in a 1.2 litre petrol Nissan Note for my Octavia 1.5 TSI petrol and get better MPG with my Skoda. I live rurally so my driving habits haven't changed, mostly country roads although there are plenty of long stretches where you don't need to change gear that often and I'm averaging around 51mpg. In my Nissan it was around 47mpg The Skoda obviously has loads more pull than the little Nissan did so to say I'm impressed is a bit of an understatement 😁
  9. No it's perfectly sensible 🤪. I would definitely recommend improving handling and braking before considering more power, however.
  10. Can you imagine having that as your next door neighbour, imagine that you were a teenager at school or college and that was your father! Here's hoping that he has not been able to procreate.
  11. The Spark Plug Recommended Service Schedule for changing is at 4 years or 40,000 miles. But then the Recommended Service Regime for a PHEV is oil & filter changes at 12 months / 9,400 miles. PHEV,s might run almost only on Electric, or maybe never and just using the engine and owners might leave the Oil changes on Variable / Flexible, 18,000-20,000 / 24 months. This is an issue with PHEV,s I would not leave a Air Filter for 6 years / 60,000 miles and i would look every year at least and change if needed. If you can remove the Ignition Coils and remove the spark plugs then do that and see. If i was doing that i would put in new plugs anyway. Skoda /VW PHEV servicing is really Money for old rope for Franchised Dealerships. DQ400-e DSG service is due at 40,000 miles or sooner.
  12. A cost-effective solution that gives excellent capabilities is to fit four of the very best all-season tyres and then sell the four summer tyres that the car came with. See https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/Best-All-Season-Tyres-2024-2025.htm To get the best out of those reviews you should watch the Youtube version (for detailed commentary) and also look at the web page (for the charts and tables). The two complement each other.
  13. One mechanical and (at least) one electrical.
  14. I thought spark plugs were at 40,000 miles according to Skoda's own regime (granted 4 years but if the cars not doing the mileage they won't deteriorate)? They're about £15 each tops from memory. Ideally you'd need to remove one and check its condition before stumping up for replacement. As for the tyre sealant - bugger that at that price! Anything from £10 - £20 on ebay or similar for OE stuff or less for universal stuff.
  15. If you are thiinking of having winter tyres on the front and the factory-fit summer tyres on the rear, you will end up with a dangerously unstable car.
  16. Not familiar with the 1.5 and ACT, but IMHO the 1.4TSI and 8sp torque converter box is a seriously sweet combination. It's one of the best cars I've driven and a great improvement on the Golf DSG I had a while back.
  17. I have Bolero too and have the logos on a USB and have them added to the headunit, they are all .png format. When you plug the USB into the car does it show up when you scroll through the sources ? or is it that you can't see them when adding them to the headunit with the USB in? With the radio on, go to Settings then Station Logos, then click on a station and the "Manage Files" window will open, is the USB available as an option there ? If it's greyed out then it's a problem with the USB stick
  18. Hello I just became an owner of a spanking new Octavia vRS mk 4.5 and I'd like to share my first impressions but before that a bit of a background story. Last year I was looking for a new car to replace my Ford Mondeo Titanium S from 2009. It served me well but it was time for something newer. I guess my criteria mostly were that the car had to be practical but also a bit sportier than the previous one. Initially I was looking at Cupra Leon Sportstourers (also estate) but I was eventually mesmerised by a velvet red Octavia RS mk4 liftback. I thought I got a pretty nice deal on it as it was just barely used (~3000 km), so no new car tax to pay for me anymore, and it had ton of extra equipment as well. I was super happy with it. Then in February the facelift was announced and I admit that I didn't think much of the RS facelift at that moment. I was definitely thinking that the front lights were cooler on my current RS, I mean the fog-lights were a separate unit and the front bumper was also much more aggressive and edgier. Also nothing really bothered me too much about the infotainment system. But....as time passed the design of the facelift had started growing on me and in addition some of the improvements here and there (a bit more power, newer infotainment system). And by July I managed to convince myself that I want the facelift RS, so I ordered one! It arrived at the end of September. However, by that time I still hadn't found a new owner for my mk4. I had some offers but nothing good enough yet so I asked the dealership to wait a bit and give me more time to sell my mk4. Then I finally found a buyer and told the dealership as well that I'm now ready to receive the new car. But I guess I jumped the gun there a bit as the deal to sell the old car hasn't been quite finalised yet. So that means that I'm in a unique position where I currently own a mk4 Octavia vRS and a brand new mk4.5 Octavia vRS and they are both velvet red! But it's a good opportunity to compare them. So finally, here are my thoughts on the differences: The specs Both of my cars have a ton of extra equipment but there are slight differences (just some quality of life extras really). I really liked the extra features on the old car so I mostly copied them when speccing the new car as well. But most notable ones: Both cars are liftbacks Both are velvet red mk4.5 has 20 extra horse power but cannot test it yet if I can actually feel the difference (still break-in period) Both have DCC, Adaptive Lane Assist Both have Suedia (leather) seats (as part of Challenge Plus package on the old mk4, separate option on mk4.5) Both have 19" wheels (Altair on mk4, Elias on mk4.5) Both have a Heads Up display Navigation was a separate option on mk4 but I think it's part of the base RS spec now. I couldn't spec preheating for mk4.5 in my region (wasn't available in the spec sheet and still isn't in the configurator) I added Canton sound system on the mk4.5 (yet to review it properly) Exterior The biggest difference between mk4 and mk4.5 is the front part of the car (as you've probably seen from pictures yourself). As I also mentioned above, it took some time for the new design to grow on me but I really like it now. The rear lights are also a bit different (the shape/light bar of the turning signal is now horistinal and straight, see picture). Also the stripes/trails within the rear lights seem to be illuminated (more). The design of the 19" wheels is different. I don't like the aero cover (or however you call it). I think the Elias wheels look much better without it so I removed the covers. However, beware that if you decide to remove the covers you need to purchase a set of centre caps and lug nut covers. Otherwise it's a bit ugly still. the vRS logo is different, I think the new one is better in the sense that you can actually understand that it says vRS (I remember one of my friends asking what VIRS means and the old logo can absolutely be misinterpreted that way) Door sill protectors have "Octavia" written on the, not vRS. Interior Interior design is mostly the same but there are more and less noticeable differences: The biggest difference (literally) is the size of the infotainment screen. It's 13" on the new one vs 10" on the old one. However, the larger screen size is in any way disturbing. The upper edge is still below the dashboard and isn't blocking the view in any way. Coupled with the upgraded infotainment system it's a really nice upgrade. Some of grey coloured pieces (door handle, the plastic around the gear shifter, rotating knobs on the steering wheel) is dull/matte whereis it was shiny on mk4. The design of the wireless charging pad/compartment has changed a bit and it feels like it's holding the phone a bit better in place. The icons on the physical buttons have changed a bit. Infotainment system/Virtual cockpit That's the big change on the inside and in short, the improvement is huge. The infotainment system is very responsive. The new style feels a bit more modern The digital instrument cluster is a more customisable as well (The right arrow on the steering wheel now switches between different display modes eg map, trip info, gear info (D, S, M), while the left one chooses between display style (with tacho and speedometer or without) No custom vRS animation on the instrument cluster when entering the car anymore, it's mostly black with SKODA fading in. 😞 The gear information (D, S1-S7 etc) can now be displayed with a huge font between the tacho and speedometer (vs being displayed in the bottom left corner on mk4). That's super awesome now. The normal gearbox mode (D) will still display only D and not D1-D7. The Adaptive Lane Assist button is now gone from the steering wheel but the option to switch to it from ACC is now hidden in the same menu (left upper button on the right side of the steering wheel). When I first saw that the button is missing I thought that they forgot to install it and actually had to double check that it's there. There's now always an indicator bar visible in the speedometer dial that shows how much range you have left to go, so now you can select something else to display in your speedometer dial. The physical button for selecting your driving modes now toggles through driving modes, that's nice! There's a ton of customisable shortcuts at the top and at the bottom of the screen (eg can set shortcuts for car, assists, lane assist, heated front windshield at the top; media, phone, navigation, android auto/carplay shortcuts at the bottom) The widgets on the infotainment screen are slightly less customisable but that doesn't really bother me: there's a couple of templates that you select from when creating pages/screens, previously you had more freedom here. I wish the HOME button was slightly bigger though. It was easier to press it on mk4 infotainment screen as it was actually a separate "button" on the left of the screen in mk4. Now it's an icon on the screen. The style of the integrated navigation system feels more modern but haven't used it that much as I'm more of an Android Auto user. Audio As mentioned, my new mk4.5 has Canton sound system. My initial reaction is that's it's not much of an improvement (still), let's see if I can figure out some good settings for it. I did have to check whether the subwoofer (squeezed into the spare wheel compartment) actually worked. Yeah, you can feel and here the vibration when you open the boot but not that much in the driver's seat. I do hope that the only result of the subwoofer won't be the body panels falling off in the back and that I can at least feel the bass when that's happening. There is an extra setting to adjust the subwoofer in the Sound menu. So in short, default settings seem a bit lacklustre but I still need to play around with settings before drawing a final conclusion. Some missing features/changes I've encountered some inconveniences on the new mk4.5 (not a deal breaker though) I think the biggest feature that's missing on the mk4.5 and that I found quite useful as well is the lack keyless lock/unlock on the rear doors. In other words, when you previously could unlock the car by just pulling the read door handles and it would unlock (and could also lock it using rear doors) then that's now gone. You have to take an extra step to touch the front door handle. Another annoyance that I found is that the speed limit warning is turned on each time you switch on the ignition. Unfortunately that's done so to comply with legislations (manual says so). However, Skoda did add a shortcut to disable it quickly (same button and place where you can disable Lane Assist). However, not all has been perfect! When I logged in with my Skoda account into the car and added myself as the main user, it wanted to load some settings which I assume were from the mk4. It did load my seat position but also a lot of icons appeared in the infotainment menu that were just loading (had the loading animation). Perhaps there's a more clever way to solve the issues but I eventually deleted and recreated my Skoda account. I took the car for a first proper drive over the weekend and had a yellow/amber "Emission control system fault" icon appear in the instrument cluster. No errors/warnings in the infotainment menu (status is fine there) as well and car drives fine as well. I plugged in my bluetooth OBD scanner to see what it comes up with and it reported fault codes P2080 (P2080 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1) and P2084 (P2080 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 2). So now I'm taking it back to the dealership. I hope it's just an improperly installed sensor (as per repair manual it seems that both sensors are wired into the same connector) but let's see. That's it for now. Feel free to ask questions and I'll try to answer them. And some pictures as well:
  19. 20 years old in March, and wow, what an absolute gem it's been. Just sayin'. Might have a party for it, and CAKE! It's just had a pressie anyway. Black Magic..... detail valet, and ceramic coating.🥰
  20. If you are in Aberdeen, then buy a set of rims and get winter tyres, fit them late October, and switch back to the summer set in April Here is brochure of the rims (with tyre sizes) and pictures, and part numbers so you can order them through a spares Dept https://www.skoda-auto.com/_doc/6d5c59b3-5d97-451a-ab78-2ef185e6e373 In UK it is normally cheaper to order tyres separately (use internet search for good prices), but Skoda also sell complete wheels (rims fitted with tyres) https://www.skoda-auto.com/_doc/c829936c-f0c1-48a3-bd99-55a507038e8c

    I think it you were thinking of changing it for a brand new car or something £20k more expensive, I could understand the rationale... but the Yeti already has a very good reliability record that you have experienced, and you know it's many good points. We had a really good look around when we decided to sell my other half's 2015 Yeti last year (totally reliable but 100k on clock and the usual tiny bits of door edge rust). In the end we bought another Yeti, registered 30/12/17 and originally delivered in Jan 2018. As an all-rounder they are still hard to beat, and I drive a 'posh Audi' a lot of the time. They do everything and the 4x4 ones get you through everything !
  22. +1 on that, I get similar figures in my RS if I'm behaving....
  23. Hey Jonny, thanks for getting back to this query. I am impressed and rather envious you managed to do this and as you say, it's such a financial saving. I may be splendid at various things, computer literate, lecturing or even metal-work...but car maintenance, it's sadly a hard no. As a female, tinkering or specific tools hasn't really happened in my world! When I asked the local garage they said they couldn't even reset it back to factory settings because they weren't able to remove the screen to access controls. I might try showing them your description to see if that explained it more clearly for them. Thanks again.
  24. Hi this is a long time later(!) but I did manage to fix the system, followed the YouTube video, bought screen from ali express and some tools from Ebay and amazon. All in all, the fix cost around £25! Works perfectly. There's a certain satisfaction in doing it yourself plus a huge financial saving. If you're facing this issue and don't mind taking a few bolts out, removing the 'lid' of your system and disconnecting a ribbon connector, then just do it!
  25. "Do you have your app working?".................... "I need you to go to my journey"..................... "I'm sorry I can't stop the car, I need you to............." FFS!!!! I know some of the above is paraphrased from memory but FFS! Thanks for posting that.
  26. I just got my car back, with the feedback that there is no newer infotainment software available fot my car for the service center to install. If I believe there is a newer version (based on the posts here there is, however the part number is also newer), I shall reach out to the importer and then to the factory… Weird, but I will try to do it regardless. Will lett you all know if something useful comes out of it, until then I have to refrain from changing temperature near crazy intersections 🥲
  27. There is a CAR menu that shows messages and allows you to change many settings (details are in the manual), any head unit not specificly designed for an Octavia 3 won't have this menu and as the infotainment is the only way of setting/checking them (Apart form a diagnostic tool) it's not wise to fit a head unit without this menu.
  28. When LEZ works: "look, no air pollution, LEZ isn't needed" When LEZ doesn't work: "look, LEZ doesn't work" 🤮
  29. Because no UK Government is actually serious about spending money on net zero - they want the vast majority of the costs to be borne by business and individuals. The reduction/withdrawal of subsidies and subsequent fines on car makers shows that all this Government care about is filling the alleged £22bn gap.

    Looks like you're local Jeff. I can happily recommend a local mobile indy who knows his stuff on VAG cars. He scanned and confirmed the EPC light on Mrs Gaz's Polo recently, which was just a battery in the twilight of its career. Gaz
  31. That was interesting, lots of questions to be answered, one way or another, these things have to be resolved to move forward.
  32. No, Felicia doesn't have ignition on the iso plug, both wires are battery +12V. You need to make sure that your head unit doesn't consume much power when it's powered off. There's not much that could be done with the 1.3 engine without spending a lot of money. The air cone may actually hurt the engine, since the stock box has quite good cold intake solution and was designed for a more powerful engines.
  33. Nope no wireless android auto on any oem head unit. The adaptors work really well thought. The advantages are good call quality (that will degrade on an after market unit) plus you maintain all the car settings and errors messages. If you car doesn't have the unit you want, you can easily upgrade
  34. Yes thanks, i saw the outside dimensions but i was thinking about inside. Maybe is just the feeling because of the seats in front and the rear but it seems that octavia is much more comfortable. Octi interior is much better then leon definitely, you can see and feel it that those are 2 different segments of the buyers.
  35. I've always been amazed with the fuel economy in this car. I did a recent 800km round trip to the west of the state and on a combination of highway & freeway running (most of the journey) the car consistently returned 4.8l/100km (59mpg) on cruise set to 100/110kph. 8sp Auto, 2 adults, dog, luggage. Add on the urban driving at each end traversing city and suburbs and of course the overall average obviously gets to 5+l/100km. Even pure urban driving is still around 6.5l/100km. Very pleased with that, and 'slightly' better than my old 6's and V8's used to be 😜
  36. ABS reluctor ring on wheel hub failed, maybe?
  37. Glad you got it done - sorry if my instructions were lacking in any detail for the download. Ok yes I’m going to agree removing the phone and re-adding it might be better. I’ve been using a iphone13 perhaps not with ios18 but I upgraded to a 15 and used that today with ios18 and no probs. I also tried changing the car name to the number plate and everything went a bit weird - phone would connect to the car and then not have internet when moving away from the house. Lesson learned and have just kept everything standard and it all works. Maybe worth updating the 12 to iOS18 (18.2.1 just appeared for update today) and seeing if that still works ok too. Just a case of eliminating variables until you stumble across the right thing.
  38. Standard on L&K and vRS. Maybe SE Tech as well, can’t quite remember. They were options on the other spec levels.
  39. With cruise control you can always increase speed with even a gentle touch on the accelerator, no need for a 'kick down' action.
  40. There is no way that there are enough ground floor homes or ones with a ground level parts and vehicle access to the property, be that a drive, parking in England to get the numbers they suggest with high rise flats, blocks, properties split, flats over shops, offices etc etc. There are properties that have occupants with multiple vehicles etc. There are housing & accommodation areas without a road that takes you to that close to the property and those are everyplace and anyplace around the UK. There might be emergency vehicle access and deliveries etc but not car parking.
  41. Well, you made your decision and enjoy the car as it is. There are many out there happy anyway. However, being already at an important "cant" in your life - I am starting that decade soon - you might have wanted to have some fun as well ... never neglect yourself, if you can get away with it 😉 I went for the 280 and I really do not regret it. About towing, there are many advantages of AWD vs FWD, more than just wheelspin on loose surfaces ... having more weight in the rear because of the drivetrain balances the towing car better, releases partially effort on the steering reducing possibility of excessive manouvers, more traction implies - not always, depends of "the touch" - less revving in general which means more balanced manouvering, reversing, start up, and so on. Now on small light loads it might not be felt, but I have noticed anything above a ton, ton something, towing is more adequate with an AWD than not with only two wheels....
  42. Dealership rang today and they have the car. Picking it up Friday morning!
  43. This thread is 4 months in the making (because I am exceptionally lazy) but the project is finally complete. Long story short I have a 2010 Octavia Elegance and I wanted to upgrade the standard Bolero headunit to something with bluetooth and DAB. I also wanted to have navigation if possible but this wasn't an absolute requirement. I also wanted to keep the CANBUS functionality of the OEM headunit, mainly the HVAC and parking sensor display. After discovering with absolute disbelief the insane prices that Columbus/Amundsen+ headunits go for and considering they are quite dated now, I settled on a cheap Android headunit from eBay. This is the one I purchased: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253355453163 For some reason the seller has massive inflated the price of it - it was £199.99 and I submitted an offer for £180 in December 2019 which was accepted. It arrived after about a week (apparently from the UK): I pretty quickly got around to fitting it once there was a decent gap in the terrible weather we had over December and early January. One thing I'm glad about with the Octavia is that the headunit is held in with torx bolts, and you don't have to mess around with stupid release keys to get it out. You just need a long enough T20 torx driver which I thankfully had. The plastic trim just pops off with a flat screwdriver. Out of the box the headunit has FM radio, bluetooth, CD/DVD player, WiFi, CANBUS decoder, two microSD card slots, and an absolute multitude of inputs on the rear: As you can see it has the quadlock connector and a double Fakra connector so it truly is plug and play. There is an input on the rear for an external microphone (which is included) but there's also a mic built in to the headunit which I've found out works sufficiently well so I didn't bother with the external mic. I also didn't fit the included GPS antenna which I'll explain further down. The manufacturer makes a load of extras you can add on to this such as tyre pressure monitoring (you have to screw sensor caps onto the valves, which gives you active TPMS), front and rear camera inputs (front can be recorded like a dash cam, rear is just for reversing I think and comes up automatically when you select reverse), DAB/DAB+ radio, even a 3G/4G dongle so you can keep the headunit connected to the internet at all times. After a couple of weeks of tweaking settings and volume levels etc I was at a point where I was pretty happy. The FM radio app works pretty well, and I also installed Plex from the Google Play store as I run a Plex media server at home which contains a lot of my music. I can tether the headunit to my phone to stream music when I'm out and about, or I can sync music for offline listening while my car is on the driveway and in range of my home WiFi. All in all I was happy. I purchased the DAB module (about £30 I think) which arrived fairly quickly. It connects to the headunit via one of the rear USB ports, so I've just stuffed it down the back of the console. I didn't want to use the supplied GPS antenna (the little black box you're supposed to stick on your dashboard somewhere), or the supplied DAB antenna (one of those stupid stick-on things that goes in the top corner of the windscreen). I did want GPS and DAB but without the ugly antennas and after a lot of research I settled on the best (but probably most expensive) option as suggested by @langers2k which was to change the standard roof aerial for one which has GPS and DAB built in. Thankfully VAG make a shark fin aerial with GPS and DAB as they obviously sell cars which can come with those things from the factory. There just so happened to be a brand new one of these on eBay for £70 buy it now that someone had bought for a VW Polo and never ended up fitting so I bought it. As you can see there are 4 connectors coming from the aerial, these are FM/DAB (white), DAB (black), GPS (blue), and GSM (violet). The GSM antenna is used in cars with factory telephone preparation, as some headunits have rSAP so when a compatible phone is connected by bluetooth, the stereo can make calls through the SIM card using an external aerial for better reception. The standard aerial on cars without GPS/DAB/etc only have a single connector - the white FM/DAB one. Replacing the aerial is very easy, you just pull a plastic trim in the boot off by hand and then you can pull down the headliner. The aerial is held in with one massive nut (I think it's 19mm) that you can't really see but it's very easy to feel. Obviously my car didn't have the wiring in place for the extra antennas so I had to order a few cables and adapters from chinarf on eBay in order to connect everything. I needed two 5m extension cables (one for DAB and one for GPS) and then a short patch cable for each to convert from Fakra to the appropriate connector. Putting these cables in was very easy, I used some semi-flexible cable fishing rods to push the cables through to the passenger A pillar where I pulled the trim off to receive the cables. It was pretty easy although annoyingly I snapped one of the cables after it got snagged on something and I yanked it, so I had to order another one from chinarf and wait another 3 weeks. I ran the cables down the passenger A pillar and behind the dashboard into where the headunit is. This is quite tricky unless you have very small hands! Connected everything up and it all worked wonderfully I am very impressed with the DAB radio, it actually sounds better than FM from this stereo. The reception from the OEM shark fin aerial is excellent. The navigation is flawless and works nicely in Google Maps. I haven't tried any other navigation apps yet. Only thing left to do is add a reversing camera. The headunit has a composite video input on the back so any basic camera should work. My intention was to get one that's built into the boot button like this: End.

    Did you change out your MIB / Head Unit for anything? That has triggered out Component Protection for a number of modules. This can only be cleared by an hour's labour at a Skoda Dealer. Make sure that if you have a remanufactured Headunit e.g. updating to later MIB 2/2.5 Columbus/Amunsden system, it will need to have the CP removed. The only other thing is: the boot handle button has failed. This is a common failure and is easy to replace. Its a possibility that the screenwash has shorted out the switch too.
  45. First thing i'd check is if you have added any LED interior lights or LED boot lights. I added LED boot lights to mine and now if anyone turns on the rear interior/reading light then I get boot open warnings.
