DPF location? 1.4 tdi Mk3 (2015)
Google? Super easy: - Wiki gave me a couple of likely engine codes for a 2016 1.4 Tdi Fabia: CUSB or CUTA - A quick search suggested the correct VAG Self Study Program (SSP) for those engines would be 534 - A second search found SSP 534 and I scrolled down until I found a useful image

2022 Octavia reverse camera option
That's another aftermarket kit. This is an example of the OEM version: https://www.carsystems.eu/skoda-octavia-nx-4-gen-rear-high-line-camera-kit-retrofit,id4406.html Please note, they do various camera versions depending on LHD/RHD, which headunit you have and if you want a washer jet. I'd also expect it to be cheaper from other suppliers

Skoda superb android auto
I've used various Google PIxel phones with Android Auto over the years and they've been fine for me. I would expect most major brands (Samsung etc) to work perfectly. I think Huawei has issues since the US ban, although saying that, I think the P30 predates that...

Oct 3: local MOT needed - enhance the brakes ?
Larger rotors won't help you stop any quicker as the stock brakes are more than capable of locking the wheels... If you're doing repeated, high energy stops (like on a track) then yes, larger rotors will help with heat management. For normal street use, unless there are signs you're overheating the brake system, I'd stick to the stock size

Highbeam indicator in instrumentcluster not showing
Odometer changes can only be done using official tools when the cluster is 'new', below around 100 km iirc? This is not the dealers fault, it's just a limitation of the tools they have available. There are 3rd party tools that can adjust the odometer on used clusters. You'll need to find a decent auto-locksmith to do it for you On this age of cluster, it should be possible to increase or decrease the mileage. On some newer MQB clusters it was only possible to increase it but I think the latest 3rd party tools may have gotten round that.

vRS vs standard
Extra power is the obvious difference. A non-vRS 2.0l TDi Octavia would have either 140ps or 110ps, only the vRS gets 170ps Few images from a late 2012 brochure for a more detailed answer are below. The base model 'S' gets: The vRS gets the following extras: The Blackline vRS also gets:

DQ250 and axle ratios
Likely a misprint. Front and rear differentials have different ratios. The wheel speed should be the same as there will be an extra set of gears where the prop shaft attaches. The haldex doesn't have any gearing up/down, it's just a hydraulically controlled clutch to adjust the amount of torque to the rear wheels. Image below from an old Golf SSP showing the prop shaft is not 1:1 with the front axle. The ratio may have changed on the Superb but I expect it's a similar layout:

OEM ambient lighting retrofit
At least on my MY18 Octavia, it was pretty much as I mentioned above... Basically: - Ran an extra wire between the 4 footwells for LIN-bus and connected it the existing ambient lighting LIN-bus (BCM connector C, pin 29). - Moved the footwell lighting power feed from the BCM to a permanent live used for the existing ambient lighting. - Replaced the two pin footwell connectors for four pin versions: - 2x 8K0 973 754 - 2x 8K0 973 754 A Pinout for the lamps is: - pin 1: positive/power - pin 2: LIN-bus - pin 3: LIN-bus (identical to pin 2) - pin 4: ground/earth New footwell lamp part numbers are: - 8W0 947 415 A - front left - 8W0 947 415 B - front right - 8W0 947 415 C - rear left - 8W0 947 415 D - rear right At this point, it's was just coding to get everything working, some of this post might help: https://uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?p=581341&sid=09d240bf5c72251932bcb0470c453f34#p581341 The important thing is the car has a BCM which supports ambient lighting. From factory my car had 5Q0 937 084 CQ which made this much easier 👍

Question Octavia OBDELEVEN coding DRL when indicating - but not when mains are on - possible?
I think it has the ability to do a backup. If so, that's probably a good starting point 👍

You might want to post an autoscan and adaption map for 09

Rear Hub Nut Size
Not sure about ecp but there are plenty on Amazon. Just be careful as there are a few 12 pointed drive types which are pretty similar but have different angles in the points. Pretty sure VAG tend to use XZN/triple square (90' points) rather than double hex (120' points) or 12 spline (60' points) 🤣

I assume you mean a XZN aka triple square? If so, they are available in the UK from numerous suppliers 👍

Blind spot detection issue
Sounds like a damaged wiring loom... Likely either between the car and door or the door and mirror

Bloody Drivers Seat Memory!
It probably needs a firmware update as mentioned here:

Spare Tyre well has screw in body work that punctured the tyre
I'd suggest looking under the car to see what it's attaching to the underside... I can't imagine it's a factory thing so a previous owner or garage have done something stupid by the looks.

Coding of Steering Wheel controls
I don't think this is a coding issue. If I remember correctly, the newer style of wheels use different commands so you probably need an aftermarket LIN convertor/adaptor. Just for example: https://www.drive2.ru/l/581371172306813158/

Superb Mk3 Memory seat issue
It's possible without a geko account if you can find the files... Flash files are easy, parameter files tend to be more tricky At least for the Octavia, the update is part of TPI 2049942-3:

Superb Mk3 Memory seat issue
I'm not sure VCDS can do calibration for the seats... IIRC, there was an update for the seat controller and afterwards I had to use ODIS to perform the basic settings afterwards.

TMC not Working
Yup, same here. No TMC currently 👍

TMC not Working
There might be issues with TMC at the moment, at least based on this post: I'll try and remember to see if mine is working today

Software Download-Source authorised, searching for SWL image.
Probably means the firmware has become corrupt and needs reloading. @Rustynuts might be able to share some advice.

Help! Yeti dead
Take a close look at the empty spaces in the fuse board: - if it has no contacts, perfect - if it has a single contact, that's fine - if it has contacts on both sides, it's missing a fuse At a complete guess, I'd check fuse 12 (5 amp?) in the engine bay as I think that's the CAN gateway. It would explain both the no start and lack of OBD...

Is this a continuation of this thread: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/501816-bolero-multimedia/ If so, you did get an answer and possible solution from Pab:
