Thank you very much for the help. I'll try and have a look at this when I've got some free time. Much appreciated.

I've thought about that, but surely if i grouped them into sub folders it would only play from that one specific sub folder?

There is no structure, I've literally just got all the songs in the one folder. I think it was much the same in the mk2.

Hi all, I've been using an 8gb SD card (not full) for a number of years now having first used it in my old mk2. On a recent long trip,my partner and I have both realised how crap the shuffle function is in that it doesn't seem to go through all of the songs and ends up repeating songs whilst some others hardly get a look in! My question, is this a known problem and would I be better off just using a usb instead? I'm not sure what stereo it is but it does have a satnav if that helps?

Hi all,I've fitted some roof bars to my Octavia 3 hatch but I'm not sure which hole to use. The instructions seemed to show using both inner holes but when I did this, the rear bar seemed to fit higher than the front. I since moved the rear bar to the outside hole and it seems to sit more level,unfortunately I haven't got a spirit level to check but I'm now worried that I've done this wrong. Can anyone advise? For the record I'm using Cruz optiplus square bars. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to get on this thread so late but I just fitted some Cruz bars on my Octavia 3 hatch and wasn't sure which hole to fit the bars to. I tried fitting to the two inner holes but it looked like the rear was sat higher than the front so I left the front bar on the inner hole and moved the rear to the outer hole. Is this done right?

I have a mk3 Octavia hatchback with electric sunroof and am considering adding roof bars and box for my next camping trip. My question is, am I able to fit the bars? it has the fixing points in the door area (I think that's the technical term)but I'm suddenly getting concerned about it sitting on glass next to the actual roof - SWMBO says I'm panicking over nothing. Also, is there a maximum length I can have so that it doesn't interfere with opening of rear boot hatch? I might add a rear bike carrier (over the hatch) at some point also. Thanks in advance.

I bought it Saturday, though not from a main dealer.

Update- this morning after my 12 mile (25 minute) journey to work, the start stop did briefly kick in for all of 3 seconds before restarting itself when I stopped at traffic lights. Definitely failing battery me thinks. I did briefly speak to dealer a few days ago and he said he thinks battery is fine but wasn't very helpful and that it wouldn't be covered with the RAC warranty but mentioned about being possibly contributing.

I only thought Halfrauds for the battery check because its it's free- their impartiality hadn't even occurred to me at the time! Whether or not I'm using a fresh battery I'm not too sure, but the car has only 25,000 odd miles which for a '65 car is very little so if it is original, it could very well be on its way out. Can I ask, What exactly do you mean by a smart charger?

Hi all, I've just bought myself a '65 plate Octavia SE-L with start stop but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. The messages I see are, -Power consumption is high and sllometimes, -Engine needs to be running. I've booked in for battery check at the local Halfrauds and I've tried to reset factory data on bolero head unit - Anything else I can try?

The over optimistic mpg reader, is this something which can be fixed via vcds?

Thank you guys, that is exactly what I wanted. How optimistic is the read out then?

So should I assume that the first one is my overall mpg reading on that trip and the second one is an accumulated mpg from multiple trips?

Hi guys, I have a 1.4 tsi Octavia mk2 and when I reset the overall mpg readings (1 and 2) I seem to get two different readings from them. For example on my way to work today mpg reading 1 was reading 61mpg and mpg reading 2 was reading 54mpg. Can someone explain this to me please. Also, I've heard the readings can be a little optimistic, but how much? I'm a very keen eco-driver.
