Software upgrade to ParkAssist 2.0 possible?

My 2009 Elegance do not. -
Something is wrong with your car. My 140 PD is fully heated after 5 miles, started from -15 C!

The N95 works great with the Columbus 2009, I´ve lost the connection twice, but repeating the pairing process did the trick.

According to the specifications, Elegance models, the far side mirror should dip on engaging reverse when properly set. The memory is not dependent on electric seats.

My average on long trips (more than 500 km) is 0,48 L/10Km with my 140PD. This is the actual measure; filled it up on arrival!

Advice Required on Optional Extras
Ultimo replied to cazgar's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Forget about th sunroof! Spend your money on genuin leather interior instead. If you are on 17" wheels, try Fulda or Toyo`s instead of Goodyears, the last one`s are noisy and wear out too fast! -
Sorry, sorry! My English should improve! ( and there is a lot to be done!)

Good luck with your new Fabia! Wife's Fabia. same as yours, is 7 years old now, and has worked fine, most of the time, exept from a few things: At 37000 km: front right side wheel bearing failed ( sorry, no warranty) At 44000 km: front left side wheel bearing failed (same history as over, although the manager at the garage tried hard ) The car

On wife`s Fabia, 1,4 16V 2000 model, the engine warning light (yellow) is lighting up now and then. The dealer tell's us the ecu is giving too low voltage to the Lamda and has to be replaced. (The Lambda)Good Lord! 600 Quid! Maybe I should try to disconnect the battery? -

You may as well disconnect the hose in the other end, it is possibly more easy! -

Ultimo replied to securespark's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
You have to remove the vacuum-hose to try the movement, otherwise the actuator itself gives too much resistance. Try this the next time you are under the car! ( And dont forget to put the hose back on!) -

See my previous post in this thread. Try to check the actuator on the turbo (and keep your fingers crossed! -
My summer wheels are 17" but I always have 15" for winter use. Conti Viking Contact 3 is an exellent choice, the best tyres I ever had on snowy roads ( and icy surfaces to!)

Interior color opinions wanted
Ultimo replied to Mythos's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
If you go for the all leather seats, choose the ivory colour! You have to vipe it down quite often but it sure looks nice! The leather cleaning spray from Auto.Glym works perfect. Mythos, my favourit greek beer! -
Shouldnt be a insurance issue, 195/65-15 is standard octy size.
-
Your best choice is Conti Viking Contact 3 195/65 on 15" wheels. Exellent performance on bare surfaces, in the snow, and even on icy roads! Not the cheapest you can get, but well worth the money!

Loss of Power / Flat Spots 110 TDi
Ultimo replied to securespark's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
That happened on my old Octy, turned out to be a sticking actuator on the turbo. We had to open it and clean it, and then back to normal again. You can get access to it from underneath the car (difficult tho) Pull off the vacuum hose and try the movement. If it doesnt move, its probably sticking vanes in the turbo itself. Hopefully not, a new turbo is exspensive! -
Put it into neutral and release clutch, and the boot will open!

Looks just like my elegance(2005) except for the sat/nav and the colour of the leather( mine is beige) -
hi new to this site and haveing problems with a octavia
Ultimo replied to scott_159's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
The turbo, or the turbo actuator, is sticking! ( if its a 110 HP) Try a search on turbo problems and you will find some nice pic`s about how to fix this! -
It most certainly is the actuator pump on the turbo! When this is sticking, the variable vanes in the turbo is not working and the ECU measures an overboost
