Correct - my mistake Looks like there were delays back around Sept 2018 likely due to the WLTP changes:

I believe the GPF was introduced with the MY19 changes. That means that cars build after around May/June 2019 will likely have a GPF. I have a MY18 vRS 245 and that does not have a GPF The best way to check would be to get the build data for the cars VIN as that'll confirm exactly what is fitted, a car with a GPF should have: - PR-code 1E2 Gasoline particulate filter (GPF) That being said, I don't think I've heard any issues with GPF's on these cars so I wouldn't worry too much.

I don't think we are. You're saying they pass a MOT, I'm agreeing but warning you that doesn't make them road legal. You then say your MOT bloke says they are fine, I reiterate the same information and you tell me for a third time it's fine for a MOT In terms of an MOT, we both agree that swapping the side lights, indicators and brake lamps from halogen/filament to LED will NOT cause a MOT failure. However, having a MOT does not mean your vehicle is road legal or meets all required legislation. You mention "sides/indicators and brake lights" "which do not provide a fixed and regulated beam of light" which is simply not true! ECE 148 has diagrams showing exactly how the light should be distributed for all of these functions, not just headlights, for ALL lamps. Just because it's not checked during an MOT, doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Just for example, a indicator would need to achieve the following light pattern: By changing the light source, you're invalidating the testing of that luminaire which means it's no longer compliant with the regulations and the type approval is voided, therefore it's not road legal. If you were to have an accident and someone claimed not to see you indicate or brake, using none approved light sources could add support to their claim even if it's not true. In short, drop-in LED conversions are technically not road legal, regardless of light function or MOT checks, folk should be aware of that when making these changes

If only google existed to help folk find this stuff Same chap as the other video.

You might want to checkout this video on youtube:

Depending how flexible you are, it might be worth removing the glove box and checking the connectors at the rear of the unit above the glovebox. If I remember correctly, you shouldn't need to remove the headunit so won't need removal keys. Refitting the glovebox damper can be a pain but it is designed to be user removable to access the glovebox. Assuming it stops raining, it's worth making sure you know how to remove/replace the glovebox on the off chance you do need to replace a fuse. It's the blue connector that's responsible for GPS

Based on that, it's most likely the GPS antenna isn't working or connected... A map update won't help. As for android auto, I assume you mean the mobile signal dropped out rather than the connection between the phone and headunit? If you're using Google maps via AA, you can download areas to ensure mapping always works regardless of signal. You may lose traffic information but the directions should still work.

It's most likely a MIB2.5 Amundsen unless it's been upgraded. Can you add a picture of the headunit to aid with identification? You should be able to factory reset the entire unit using this method, The video is likely an older version but should be a similar process, it's definitely a good starting point. Please can you be more descriptive. What happens when you connect your phone - are there any prompts or messages on your phone or the radio screen?

That depends on the forum member If they have genuine VCP then I'd hope it would include the correct parameter files for an Octavia. If they have ODIS with an online connection, they might be knowledgeable enough to find the correct datasets direct from VAG. If they have ODIS without an online connection, you're reliant on them having found the correct datasets via other methods. If you have a VAS5054a or similar, it might be possible for someone to perform the parameterisation for you remotely. There are a few datasets on MIB solution but it's not clear if any are for an Octavia although they match the part number and SW installed on my folding door mirrors. It might be worth contacting https://www.vagcarcoding.com/ or https://www.vagcodingspecialist.co.uk/ both are London based so might be close enough to you. If it helps, my '18 plate has the following modules: Address 42: Door Elect, Driver (J386) Labels:| 5QX-959-X93-42.clb Part No SW: 5Q4 959 593 E HW: 5Q4 959 593 B Component: TSG FS 011 0032 Coding: 001D0020DE01040000001100 ASAM Dataset: EV_DCUDriveSideEWMAXCONT 006001 ROD: EV_DCUDriveSideEWMAXCONT.rod VCID: 47CBA5DC6F2A91034E5-8012 Address 52: Door Elect, Pass.

ODIS or VCP 👍 It's not something VCDS can do I'm afraid.

They probably need the correct dataset flashing.

Yes - you can download the latest ones from Skoda. https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/ Assuming you have a MIB2 Amundsen, you probably want these: - https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/Download/RadioLogos/IRL_20200331.zip - https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/Download/RadioLogos/GBR_20200331.zip If you want to customise them, you can manually assign them as per the owners manual:

Not quite, the manual suggests that if the front wipers are in constant use, the rear will occasionally sweep across. This can be enabled/disabled in the settings. If I remember, this might be an estate only function as they get much more water on the rear screen than a hatch.

Taken from an Octavia owners manual but I expect the same behaviour on a Superb:

I think you've misunderstood my post. A MOT only checks a small subset of what's required to make a car road-legal. To check everything would take considerable time and would cost significantly more. At no point did I say a LED swap would fail a MOT and I completely agree with your MOT bloke that 4.1.4 (c) Light source and lamp not compatible only applies to headlights, therefore any other lamp should not fail a MOT solely on a halogen to LED swap. Despite current MOT guidelines, a LED drop-in conversion does not meet the requirements for either the very outdated "Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989" or current ECE regulations which means it's not road-legal. It's really that simple. This article from an LED seller makes the same point despite it's focus on headlights : https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/blog/are-led-headlights-legal-in-the-uk/ Progress is being made where Philips (and other manufactures?) are pushing for changes with progress in Korea, Germany and Austria. Meaning there are now some approved LED conversions but you need specific luminaire plus LED combinations based on what Philips tested and certified. In time, I expect the same will be legal in the UK... It's your car so fit whatever you want, I've used LED conversions previously. Anyone wanting to fit LED drop-in kits should still be aware they are not road-legal even if an MOT allows for them

Just for clarity and to prevent misinformation. A MOT pass does not mean a car is road-legal or even road-worthy, only that it's passed the basic checks included during the MOT at the time of testing. The last set of UK regs predate LEDs, during our time in the EU the ECE regs were approved and it's these which mean LED lights can be used on UK road. However, a drop-in conversion will not meet the ECE regs so it's technically not road-legal despite the MOT pass.

What's the tank arrangement like on a 4x4 Superb? Assuming it has saddle tanks, could it be a transfer pump issue?

Auto will also change where the air is directed to. AC will also help dehumidify the cabin. I would suggest leaving both turned on and altering the temperature as required

If I remember correctly, front camber isn't independently adjustable on each side. Instead, you can balance the camber between the two sides by moving the front subframe

There is a setting to choose if unlocking does just the drivers door or all of them. You just need to change it back 👍

It's not specific to "new" Skoda's, it's been the case for 15 or more years... My old MK2 Octavia would have done exactly the same when unplugging the airbag switch I'm not aware of any other method apart from removing the battery. Given the explosives in the airbag system, you should really be removing the battery and giving the system time to discharge before touching any airbag system related component...

Removing the airbag switch with the battery connected will flag a fault. You'll need VCDS or similar diagnostic equipment to clear the fault code and which in turn will turn off the airbag light

I only recall this being mentioned once previously: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/511878-octavia-iii-randomly-braking-on-the-highway/ No clear resolution but the the last assumption was the brake disc drying system was causing it. Might be worth finding a local VCDS user to perform an autoscan and possibly turn it down or even off. It looks like there is a measuring block stating when it last activated so that's worth checking assuming you can replicate the problem on a rainy day @L_W hasn't been online for a while but hopefully they'll receive a notification I've mentioned them and let us know if they resolved it. edit: BDD is configured in 03 - ABS, adaption channel: IDE04456-Brake disk drying Mine is set to medium from factory. Likely related measuring blocks in 03 - ABS: IDE04456-IDE04775 Brake disk drying-Odometer reading of last activation IDE04456-MAS03095 Brake disk drying-Function status

I believe you would need: - 4x extra sensors - a replacement parking controller - an extra button for self parking - wiring looms for all the above - factory wiring diagram to check the wiring looms are correctly fitted I'm not 100% but you might also need new rear wheel speed sensors but it'll depend whats fitted. This appears to be a kit for LHD models: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004523206436.html I assume a RHD would just need a different self-park button...

He basically said, if there is a 'Nav' button on the display, then it should have satnav fitted from factory. Obviously there is a chance someone has replaced the screen given it's a second hand car. If you can provide your cars VIN number, he'll check the build data to confirm if it should have satnav fitted or not What happens when you press the nav button?
