  1. Yup, I wouldn't expect any wiring fitted for 1D0. Few others that may help: 1D0 = Without trailer hitch 1D1 = Trailer hitch 1D2 = Trailer hitch removable and lockable 1D3 = Trailer hitch 1D4 = Trailer hitch manually swiveling 1D5 = Trailer hitch (pintle hitch) 1D6 = Trailer hitch 1D7 = Trailer hitch preparation 1D8 = Trailer hitch preparation 1D9 = Trailer hitch electrically folding
  2. Any genuine interface should work perfectly with the English version of VCDS which is freely available from Rosstech: https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/download/current.php However, the non-English VCDS versions are translated by distributors so they only work with a interface purchased from that distributor. If you contact the French distributor, they may sell you a licence but I've no idea of the cost... In your case, you were misled but the OP can install the English version alongside French one they already have
  3. There is an option via the infotainment on my 2018 Octavia vRS to turn DRL on/off, it's even mentioned in the owners manual... At a guess, try setting 'Außenlicht_Front-Tagfahrlicht Aktivierung durch BAP oder Bedienfolge moeglich' to 'active' in the BCM I tend to turn them off if I'm doing some involved coding etc to save battery life. Also useful at a drive-in cinema to keep the car unlit if you need to start it
  4. Maybe find someone local with a genuine cable and see if that works? If it does, consider buying a genuine one
  5. It might help if you install the latest English version of VCDS and post an autoscan
  6. Try this, it should be pretty much identical for the MK3 Superb
  7. There are passive, active and service regens. - Passive regens will happen 'naturally' if there is sufficient heat to burn the soot off. - Active regens are when the ECU injects extra fuel to get the DPF warm enough to burn the soot off. - Service regens are triggered by diagnostic equipment. Typically only high load driving will get the DPF hot enough to cause a passive regen. Motorway driving, towing or steep terrain can help. Some claim they never happen but I certainly saw them on my CR140. In your case, I expect the ECU had triggered an active regen due to soot levels, these are normal and most of the time you won't notice them if it happens during a drive. You might have a slightly higher idle and increased fuel use so nothing super obvious whilst on the move. They happen every ~100-400 miles depending on driving style and if the car has had the emissions fix. If the regen hadn't completed when you turned the engine off, the fans stay on to help dump the extra heat in the DPF from the active regen. It's quite possible it still hadn't completed after your second drive. However, after your third drive it had either completed or dropped the soot to an acceptable level It wouldn't surprise me if a car wants to perform an active regen, it can tweak the fuelling to get the engine to warm up more quickly too.
  8. Probably a DPF regen It's completely normal for the fan to run on if you turn the car off mid-regen. It's nothing to be concerned about unless it starts happening on a frequent basis
  9. Pretty simple in my mind, given the MOT is tightening up on DPF/EGR removal, I'd suggest you leave them fitted The car might be happier without them but is it worth the risk?
  10. Typically, if the adjustment is anywhere, it'll be somewhere in the instrument cluster coding/adaptions so I'd start there. I'm not aware of being able to display GPS speed at all. I tend to have Waze via Android Auto showing my GPS speed although in my Octavia it almost perfectly matches the speedometer.
  11. Can you post an autoscan and adaption map for 09?
  12. I think most use Febi 27709 which should be a direct replacement for: 6K6 827 550.
  13. Probably worth posting an autoscan and an adaption map from 5F
  14. It's in the Nov 2017 brochure where the S was the base model: And the Nov 2019 brochure where the SE Drive was the base model: Don't let me dissuade you from your quest! I'd love to hear a confirmation from Skoda that these technologies are fitted across the range I'm just highly cynical of the knowledge of some VAG group staff when it comes down to spec. Even more so when VAG seem to deliberately use misleading or confusing terminology that can change between brands or models. If nothing else, hopefully by explaining what some of these technologies are, you'll have a better chance of getting an answer rather than just being fobbed of with misleading or incorrect info
  15. Erm, I think you've misread or mistyped your VIN. At a guess, the second 2 is actually a Z...
  16. You asked the dealer a question and got the following answer: It's not clear what 'it' was in your question. At a guess, you asked which models get the E-LSD (aka VAQ or mechanical diff) in which case yes, I'd agree that only the 245ps has it fitted. EDL and XDS are separate and distinct functions, please stop using them interchangeably as it's only confusing matters. To recap from earlier in this thread: - EDL uses the brakes to transfer power to wheels with grip (brakes the spinning wheel to transfer power to the non-spinning wheel) - XDS (torque vectoring) is an extension of the EDL+ESP systems, it'll use the inside brakes while turning to reduce wheel spin and maximise control/drive through and out of the corner It is showing both the haldex and EDL in action. - The haldex is responsible for moving power to the rear diff, it does not and can not transfer power left/right. - The front and rear diffs are open so EDL is responsible for transferring power left/right across each axle by braking the spinning wheel. When only the rear left wheel has traction (46 seconds), the haldex is moving power to the rear but as it's an open diff, the power takes the path of least resistance to the rear right wheel and the car doesn't move. When the offroad mode is selected, this makes EDL kick in more aggressively, braking the rear right wheel to transfer power to the rear left (62 seconds) and the car moves. Sorry for the long post, but I feel it's important to understand what these systems are as it'll help you find the right question, and hopefully answer. I think your question should be, do the MK4's (specifically the 4x4) get XDS, bearing in mind that: - XDS is just software on the ABS module - by the end of the MK3 production, it was standard on all models - the Polish site states all MK4 models have XDS - there is no mention of ABS or ESP in the UK brochure but both are fitted I would be amazed if the entire range doesn't have XDS, especially those with a haldex fitted
  17. Just to help settle your mind. Here is a Polish website showing the base model gets ESP with ABS, EBD, MSR, ASR, EDL, HBA, DSR, RBS, ESBS, TSA, XDS+ as standard: https://www.wyborkierowcow.pl/nowa-skoda-octavia-2020-opis-wersji-i-cennik/ Example video showing the EDL in action on a MK4 Scout:
  18. Sorry, can you clarify exactly what's only fitted to the 245ps petrol? As I mentioned previously, I would expect the 245ps to get the E-LSD but all models should have EDL+XDS as it's part of the ABS system. Exactly the same as the MK3's...
  19. You can get a full list of TSB/TPI's against your VIN from Skoda: https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/ An hour and a 'print to pdf' function should be enough to get most the data for your car. There are also workshop manuals, wiring diagrams etc too
  20. A 2012 CR170 is definitely effected The most reliable way to confirm if the update has been done is to check the software version of the ECU using VCDS or similar. You can also check the boot well for a 23R7 sticker as that'll show the fix has been done.
  21. Have you contacted Rosstech? 21.03 should work fine with a MK3 Octavia.
  22. From your other thread, we know your BCM is: Address 09: Cent. Elect. (J519) Labels:| 5Q0-937-08X-HV1.clb Part No SW: 5Q0 937 086 AA HW: 5Q0 937 086 AA Component: BCM PQ37BOSCH 028 0106 Quick google shows an Octavia with the same BCM and 5Q0 955 547 A fitted: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/5392/#post-52501 So that's what I'd try first
  23. The BCM seems sensitive to some electronic loads, it appears that some HID kits, especially those with CAN-bus 'friendly' adaptors damage the internal electronic chips over time. The end result is the chip fails and the indicator bulb always starts lit... You then either need to replace the BCM or find a decent electronics shop to diagnose and repair it. Your Octavia is older and probably doesn't have a BCM. Instead it's probably got a CECM and CCM. On that generation HID kits tend to kill the wiper motor 🤣 You've also got the road worthiness side too. At least in the UK it should fail the MOT but I'm unfamiliar with the Irish regulations. Without self leveling you're very likely to cause glare to other drivers..
  24. Given the SIM card lives in the heardunit and it's now been replaced, that's probably why you've got a error with the android version installed. You'll probably need to recode whatever module(s) are expecting to be able to make SOS calls. A VCDS autoscan would be a good starting point
  25. The bending lights class as AFS so the MK2 did have AFS from factory. It was the AFSII features (city, motorway, rain mode etc) that weren't enabled As far as I know all MK3's with bi-xenons have AFSII enabled. Still, any VAG xenon system should still do the startup dance regardless of xenon/bi-xenon/AFS/AFSII
