My take on this. Even if you do not use the ACC, if it was faulty you would have had an error warning on the dash. Did you? Is it possible that the wheel got hit in the incident? If not, and the alignment "was massively out" I think you would have felt the car pulling to one side & have uneven wear on the tyres.

If it was a problem I'm sure there would have been many threads about turbo failures. Same as the start/stop system, some people won't use it because of the supposedly extra wear and tear on the system. I'll bet the majority of owners use their car without giving a second thought to the mechanics and just let the systems take care of everything.

This'll have an interesting answer.

I can count on one hand the amount of times the built in sat nav has re-routed me. It always says queuing traffic in x amount of miles but never offers an alternative. It is really basic compared with other systems. The POI function in my opinion is only good for larger organisations. If I need to find a smaller one I have to find it on Google & then put in the post code on the system. Is the Columbus system any better?

You couldn't make it up. Brilliant (orange)

This may be of some help.

No. I've done it myself. If you run into trouble just delete any files on the disk & copy the old one's back. If you're using a Mac then you need to use a program to remove some files which get added & cause display problems. Others can advise better than me if you have this problem.

You don't have to format the card. Just back up the old data, delete the old files & copy the new one's onto it. Plenty of info available in this forum on how to download the files & unzip them to the card.

Are you getting the readings from the display in the car or taking your own readings by filling the tank to the top, zero the trip counter, drive till nearly empty and then refill to the top?. Calculate the consumption that way.

Can you contact the previous owner & ask what modification has been done?. Why would you want them on during the day?. Or, is there a fault with the circuit board & they are receiving a small amount of power just to illuminate them?.

Depends on the temperature setting.

Without wanting to rain on your parade, there seem to be a few marks near the front number plate. Colour is good though.

Take my feedback as tongue in cheek. I do agree the system is inferior & lacking in functions compared to other systems, although I've never had problems with postcodes. For me, it's just convenient to have a built in system.

I think you're the first poster so say the Octavia is too quiet.

Did you give it a good test drive?

If it's coming up to around 5 years old you should look into getting the cambelt & water pump changed. Mine is DSG & there is plenty of power for normal driving & to be able to slip it into sports mode quickly can aid overtaking.

The link worked for me.

Seems to be missing a few pieces

There are a few for sale on eBay

If you're lucky, something may start to rattle or come loose and then you can see if that clip should be holding that piece.

Why do I bother?
