Did an OTA update today with the rather exciting message about feature updates (I think it said) . Anyone know what these feature updates were? It managed to screw up the calendar as updates always seem to.

Noticed this only recently , a band of condensation at the bottom of the headlamp glass, obviously goes away as the headlamp unit warms but is this a common problem or should it me attended to John

Back to Matrix Headlight behaviour, Under the Individual settings in the setup you can specify the way they behave, sport and normal IIRC. what differences does this setting make? -

Adblue miles remaining inconsistent
johnrowley replied to johnrowley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
only had it a couple of months. (very enjoyable month mind - im a rep and do 50-60k a year. its not the need to fill it it is the discrepancy between the onboard informationand that in the app that im wondering about -
In the Skoda essentials app it tells me I have 994 miles remaining but the infotainment reports 1600miles . Any idea which one is right? Should I carry a supply of Adblue just in case ?

Have had the stats in the car infotainment reset to zero a couple of times , in the app they are all still there from when I reset them when I got the car - anyone else had this ?

Anyone a solution for this? downloaded the Calendar App and go to set it up. It just repeatedly reports service temporarily unavailable please try later. removed reinstalled, restore to factory settings and set up again still no joy hoping the location of my appointments will feed through to the Nav any ideas? john

Cruise Control Warning Light
johnrowley replied to JKW's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yes I agree except there are no errors logged. The dealer refused to do anything as there were no errors and could not replicate the problem. As the computerised there was nothing wrong then there could not possibly be anything wrong. I found elsewhere a suggestion it was the battery so replaced it problem solved . Due to the obstinate attitude of the dealer this is my last skoda sadly -
i think i know what you mean, around 1500 - 1800 rpm, light throttle, its just feels dead momentarily but then (sometimes abruptly) picks up. mine has always done it from time to time. then i fitted a spider tuning box and it did it less (or i didnt notice it as much as i was enjoying the heavier right foot action. however i began to notice it more often again and spoke with the spider tuning people who suggested changing the setting on the box. problem solved and the power delivery is also improved and more linear. when i mentioned it to the dealer they did the diagnostics but as the computer said there was no problem then there cannot possibly be a problem can there - just confirmed my low opinion of the dealer and my decision not to purchase another vehicle from them
