Little i learned about the vcds, combined with these type of settings is that you need to enable the function, and make this option vissible on the user menu of your columbus/amundsen (I've got factory fitted footwell lights on my o3, and an extra option is enabled in the menu) if a function is added in vcds (dipping mirror for example) this added feature is switched off by default. It needs to be activated through the user menu on the columbus first.

I'm looking into this as well for my columbus without the canton upgrade (don't fancy the sub on the canton system) Turns out Helix has a nice dsp amp that plugs right into your existing setup. It delivers 4x35w (but this box hands you the freedom to use dsp on these channels, so you are able to cut out anything from bellow 40hz or so) if it's setup to cut off the lowest frequenties, 4x35 is more than enough. you can add a helix subwoofer (160w) or add a separate amp/ sub you'd like.

Yes. It uses 1 xenon lamp and uses an extra lens if you flash lights. That's the thud/thump

There are occasions where sand is more convenient. You don't understand what i'm saying though. It's the metal between the backseats and the hole for the spare wheel. (the metal part being flush with the rest of the trunk). Not the place where you want to put your sparewheel either. I'm not talking about a long-term solution, just a test. Making a suspected metal panel 50kg heavier would greatly lower the fs. Sand in a bag is damping to begin with.

-covers all engines and transmission -multilink and torsion beam suspension is affected -combi and hatchback is affected -sportsuspension and normal suspension is affected -new/different dampers don't solve the problem (at least the other dampers as provided by Skoda) -fooling around with adjusting the boot isn't solving the problem (noticed lock swaps/adjustments, bump rubbers adjustments) -problem occurs with or without spare wheel

Recording is one thing, but what about playback. You'd need quite a setup to reproduce the LF that is causing this rumble. So both recording and playback should be spot-on. If the mic picks up -3db on let's say 20hz (rule out the playback limitations) it's an irrelevant measurement. Has anyone tried to throw in some bags of sand in the back? i've heard this noise in my neighbours hatchback (noticed it from the second i stepped in, on a relative rough road). The horizontal metal between the rear seats and the spare tire is very flexible. maybe a few bags of sand (or some random retrievers you can throw in the trunk). From my experience with acoustics I'd say its a LF rumble with perhaps a higher harmonic causing the noise. If you want to troubleshoot this, you'd need a spectrum analyser with calibrated mic to measure at what frequency this problem occurs. It's in the 10-40hz range. If a db meter is used, make sure it's not limited from ~30hz-8khz. The facts so far for the affected vehicles; -covers all engines and transmission -multilink and torsion beam suspension is affected -combi and hatchback is affected -sportsuspension and normal suspension is affected -new/different dampers don't solve the problem (at least the other dampers as provided by Skoda) -fooling around with adjusting the boot isn't solving the problem (noticed lock swaps/adjustments, bump rubbers adjustments)

Instead of moving your foot further down, you need electronics to make your WOT happen sooner? I'm a non-believer.

here is a race-blue elegance with Eibach lowering and 18" alloy. I got one on my phone of a standard height 17" elegance raceblue from a colleague of mine (not a terrific photo) I ordered that colour as well. (expecting it in may) just a sucker for that colour.. Never intended to offend anyone.

Wrong topic, sorry

This is a known issue for Skoda by now; It seems to be related to the rearshocks; http://www.skodacommunity.de/skoda-forum/skoda-octavia-iii-forum/87256-polternde-hinterachse-ursachen-%C3%BCbersicht-in-startbeitrag/

There was also mention of a DPF error with a user on this beard that had a 2.0tdi; long story short, it turned out to be 2 sensors, that started live to serve the 1.6tdi..

Maggi trak for my 18" hoops if i need to join the snow parade.. They appear to be both user and rim friendly.

And don't forget to turn on the heater for the rear window. (at least, that's how works on all the other VAG vehicles i've previously owned)
