In a way the system forces you to do that. I just get the general warning & then need to check the pressures on all 4 tyres.

Then you need to inspect the car carefully yourself, in case it gets damaged/scratched when it's being collected.

Just phone them up and ask the question

Both maps & software have to be updated manually. Others can advise the best way to do this.

I just delete.

Are you talking about map updates or a software update? If it's software, it's better to post a screenshot showing which software version you have so others with more knowledgeable can advise.

There are many threads on this topic & various solutions. Here's one such thread,

It was just an idea. Mine is auto & I've never driven a manual with stop/start.

Could it be a switch or solenoid connected to the stop/start system?

Have you tried the spare key?

I'm guessing you need this forum. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/28-skoda-octavia-mk-ii-2004-2013/

Be interested to know if your a/c shuts down at low temps & if so, do you have problems with misted up windows? Do you leave it on auto & let it do its thing? Thanks.

This should give you some idea

Any Help?

I guessed that. I'm just saying that the car is initially designed for LHD & therefore the fuse box & bonnet release are easy to access if it's LHD.

No problem if it's a left hand drive. Same as the bonnet release.

Slightly different model, but check list should be almost the same

You could try re-callibrating the system. There's a youtube vid in this link.

If the a/c won't work when it's around freezing point, how do they get on in cold climate countries? How do they stop windows misting up?

It's a modification. Ins co has to be told.

Was it working when you took it to the garage?

Any help?

Chips are fattening anyway

This thead also mentions whether to leave the battery connected or not.
