Lowest I have listed in the Skoda app is 5.7 l/100 on a motorway drive just under 3 hrs. Seems better than listed but higher when inner city. I often leave is in D mode and stick to the speed limit without too much crazy acceleration. Just relaxed mode.

Thanks for sharing your experience and yes this could be an explanation. I’m in France and it has been very hot as well but not too much when I last filled up around 10:00 am. I will monitor it going forward.

I thought I filled up at the garage yesterday but was surprised when I got back into the car and only saw 580km range on the dash. I thought ok that the pump must have auto shut off early so I did my drive for 40 mins outs and back. On the way back I noticed that the range had increased to 620km. Until then a full tank max range was 730km. I will test it again but I’m interested to know if anyone else has noticed this? Apart from that nice update in the Skoda app 7 day challenge counter 👌🏻

Yes there have been several cases of roads scams on the road between Barcelona and Girona up to the French border. La CiutatVÍDEO: Compte amb els lladres 'punxa-rodes' de les autopi...En les seves xarxes socials, els Mossos d'Esquadra han publicat un vídeo amb imatges de diversos delinqüents robant cotxes amb el 'mètode de la punxada'.

I didn’t know that. I will have a look but the wheels are 18in standard black in France.

I have Bridgestones as well from new. Don’t find my car noisy but I do have the extra think front windows and driven less than 600km. I was looking at replacing with some run-flats at some point for extra protection when driving to Spain where they stab your tyres. Anyone have a good run-flat recommendation or experience?

Ok thanks 👍🏻 I guess it’s another new inforced security control that was not like this on the previous 2018 version. I didn’t weigh the bag but must have been much lighter than a person so the sensors are too sensitive or not setup correctly. Allowing the driver to turn off the sensor like the lane assist would have been a much better idea or set them to a more realistic weight. Of course the boot and floor are options but I never had a problem with my last VRS.

Hi, Quick question about the rear seatbelt safety alarm. Just came home with some shopping placed on the rear seat and the safety belt alarm was pinging all the way home. Is there an easy way without the OBD mods to silence this or do I need to attach the seatbelt each time. I thought about deactivating the in car monitoring but only after arriving home and parked. Not sure what the in car monitoring is actually used for. Cheers 👋🏻

As far as I understand the Mk4.5 is not supported yet, no one-click app changes possible apart from two for the battery. I got a credit refund from OBDeleven. It would be nice to know when the 2025 car will be supported?

Also in the App disabled to wake-up the car on opening the App. Not sure if it will drain the battery 🪫 as currently opening the app more than driving the car.

Discussing with my PM I decided (well she did) that it’s better to enable the localisation. So I did including honk/flash. So the only functions disabled is the lock/unlock plus the pay to park/fuel. Can’t see the use of those.

I thought the Pay to Park/Fuel was a a bit risky having to enter my credit card details so have deactivated both. It’s very easy in the infortainment shop to remove any of the installed apps. I have kept the care connect but turned off the lock/unlock, honk/flash and parked location. All other MySkoda app functions seem to work ok. I will see if it’s any use or if I also don’t like the tracking of the driver data. I also set the privacy settings to the “shared” mode which is hopefully not tracked but only shared in case of an 🆘 The only things auto disabled with that privacy mode is the Internet radio and Laura voice control but not entirely. I really don’t like the way that it’s so easy to open the car with a phone 📱 that’s so scary 😦

Thanks for the widget tip. Didn’t think about that 👍🏻 I’m based in France so can use Pay to Park and Fuel but not sure if it’s really of any use.

Care Connect - Remote Access Initial usage of the latest version of MySkoda App and all seems to be functional setting up with my MK4.5 2025. I just have a doubt of the security of the remote access which provides any potential thieves to the car data like the VIN and REG plus localisation of the car and ability to open the doors. If your phone is compromised and the FID is changed they will have instant access. I have the lost phone protection enabled on my IPhone but it’s a nice to have but not really sure if it’s use as you have the key to open and start so not sure the thinking behind the phone access. Just a labo invention vs real marketing user need? What’s your take on it? Infotainment apps: Pay to Fuel and Pay to Park. Also enabled these paid zero cost services. Anyone use them and like them? No issues encountered? How do they both work in a nutshell. Cheers, Steve

I prefer the new look personally. Nice discovery.
