Excellent, thanks @simion_levi - that matches my expectations

Did you get this sorted in the end? If not, I should be in Cambridge on Monday if you want me to clear the code for you. Not super close to Bedford but as close as I tend to get

If all the functions die at the same time, the clock spring could be suspect. However, if it's just the right roller, it's more likely to be an issue with the buttons

I can't find any stock Octavia autoscans (on rosstech forums) with 5xx gateways fitted - the only examples are obvious retrofits. I'm happy to believe that 5xx gateways reset to normal but I can't find much evidence that were stock fitment for the Octavia. There newest scans seem to have the 4xx AC version which makes me think it doesn't support driving mode memory. In this thread https://octavia-rs.com/thread/27496-fahrprofilauswahl-wird-nicht-gespeichert/ which is slightly unclear (google translate) but to me, it suggests Q or AA might be a safer bet. While I believe you're probably right and appreciate the input, I was hoping to confirm with some MY19 owners where it definitely works

Looking at the image below, there are two metal clips, is it one of these you've lost? If so, I'd suggest finding it if only to stop it rattling around. Maybe a magnet on a string or stick? Which white trim piece? The triangular one in my last post? Then yes, remove that before trying to refit the below.

I'm not sure which bit you mean, can you add pictures showing it? The top of the C pillar just pulled off: I just pulled the top of the lower C pillar out slightly but left the lower part attached: I haven't got an image for the next bit, but I think there were one or two obvious screw for the 'top' panel on the boot side to pull away. Various metal clips were used, I think one stayed attached to the car body. If this does happen, grab some mole grips or plyers and remove it from the car body, it should just slide back onto the trim ready for refitting

Airbag will need to come off first. Both sets of button and the interconnecting plastic trim come off together. You can then unscrew the buttons from the plastic trim. I don't think they sell the buttons as individuals so you'll need to replace both. They shouldn't need coding if you get the right part number. Might be worth taking the buttons apart and checking for dirt/grim etc first though

I believe driver mode reset/memory is down to the CAN gateway software version. I'm currently trying to find which is the newest version which doesn't reset to normal. @SimonD316, @Scotty72 and @VRS_White_Hatch, do any of you know which CAN gateway your cars have? If you've ever had a VCDS autoscan done, it'll be mentioned in there. Other software such as OBDeleven should also report it. I think @SimonD316 may have VCDS? If you do, can you drop me a PM as it would be very helpful to see an autoscan and adaption maps for a MY19 vRS

Try pushing the connector further on before trying to release the clip/connector

Your new windscreen should already have a rear view mirror mount attached

I don't think buttons can be recoded to change their function. If I remember correctly, changing the resistor values on the PCB might change the function? At least I'm sure I once saw someone converting some MK2 FL Octavia buttons from 'Aux' to 'Phone' by tweaking the resistors

Nope... There is a thread about it on VCDS forum: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/22068/

If you can dump the adaption channels for the BCM and gateway, feel free to chuck them over in a PM and I'll have a quick look over them

Yup, automatic mode works as expected so the ambient lighting, MIB and dashboard colours change when the driving mode changes. Individual mode works ish - it can use any colour set in Fahrprofil_7 without a problem. I think stock behaviour should let the driver change the individual colour by taking the current colour from the manual selection. This doesn't work Setting Ambiente_Fahrprofil_Individual to 7 makes the accent colour constantly change (~twice per second) between the colour set in Fahrprofil_7 and the colour set via the manual selection... From what I've found so far, this is down to the SW version of the CAN gateway.

Does it just connect between the throttle pedal and the car? You can see the connector on this ebay throttle: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/264270273515

In Europe, the emissions scandal/diesel gate only effects the older EA189 engines. You have a EA288... All I can suggest is finding a similar but 'good' car and then making similar drives in both to compare various sensor output.

The calculated value jumping is probably a failsafe as the measured soot hit 24g and caused the regen. Is the DPF sensor genuine and was it adapted after fitting? The measured value increased pretty quickly which seems strange. I still think the DPF has been messed with or possibly removed, especially on a car with 227000 km with apparently zero oil ash volume. I'd be tempted to find someone to re-flash the ECU with stock software and see what happens...

VCDS can't flash any modules, so nope Looks like I started with: Part No SW: 5J0 919 475 A HW: 5J0 919 475 A Coding: 10800E Which I recoded to: Coding: 30800E And eventually replaced with: Part No SW: 5J0 919 475 C HW: 5J0 919 475 A Coding: 308007 If you haven't already, I'd try recoding the park assist module as I'm pretty sure it has a 'camera fitted' bit.

You might need to recode or replace the parking sensor module I know I switched to a newer version from a Yeti but I can't remember what issue caused me to swap it.

Thanks! I'll see what I can find out and report back

I expect other parts numbers will also be compatible. For instance this might be OK but you should check first: https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/four-spoke-steering-wheels-7/oem-3t0419091k-e74-multifunction-steering-wheel/#prettyPhoto If it has the wrong button symbol, you can reuse your existing buttons

Passat R-line at a guess

A local independent VW/Seat/Skoda/Audi garage should have the correct tools too

@Rgrc29 - The Bolero you have is one of the best headunits for the Yeti. The only 'better' options from Skoda would be the: - Bolero 5L0035200E which adds DAB - Amundsen 5L0035680D which adds satnav - Amundsen 5L0035200E which adds DAB and satnav None of these have bigger screens or any additional features aside from the differences mentioned above. If carplay is your only want, I'd suggest paying the upgrade cost for smartlink as it'll be by far the cheapest solution to your problem I would ignore the RCD330 suggestion, your current headunit is better, more stable and a cheaper route to carplay. If you do want a bigger screen, you'll need to look at aftermarket solutions

I've never come across the oil ash volume only reporting occasionally. I would suggest you update to the latest VCDS release and if there is still a problem with oil ash showing as 0.00ml, start a thread on rosstechs forum.
