OK, bear in mind that I have used many differing Sat Nav for many years. Currently own a Tom Tom, but the 2019 dash layout does not help placement at all, unlike my previous one (2009) My 2019 Octavia built-in (Amundsen, I think) however has THE most unfriendly menu system yet. Its inconsistent and contrary to the manual. Currently I'm struggling to try to alter the HOME address. Its somehow set trying to take me 300 miles away from actual home. A lot of the time when a route is set it tries to take me to this "home" and then on to destination set. Cannot reliably get to any destination "delete from memory" function. Does NOT work as per manual (which is I think for Columbus). Cannot find where to MAKE it change. Is there a guide anywhere for what I have?

As a newbie have just read all this thread. It's got me interested......................... Can anyone advise where the badge on a Mk2 Octavia estate rear is, to save me hours of digging and scraping?

Just had the timing belt changed (at approaching six years 68k miles due to Main Dealer stating on my request for action on last two services it didn't need attention yet). This despite last six months intermittant operation of engine "coil" warning light and car entering "limp home" mode. On my instruction to dealer for a diagnostic (they were not keen to take my money!) it showed (after they cleared it by mistake the first time and I had to return it later!!) Throttle Position Sensor and Camshaft Sensor. They cleaned the contacts to the throttle body and said that might be it, still no action on cam belt. I mentioned it again, they blanked me. After a frustrating 10 mile motorway light up power down journey Monday night with it erratically floating in and out of low power mode, I contacted an independant VAG service agent. They immediately took the car in on Tuesday on the basis that they might not be able to look at it till Thurs, however, despite being busy they did the Diag, found the same diag codes, questioned the belt change, agreed with me the belt should really have been changed at 4 years, esp given my usage. Wed p.m. I was picked up by them to collect car. They'd changed the belt and the camshaft position sensor. VAG approved belt "on discount" @ £110 ex VAT, Camshaft sensor £83 ex VAT, 2hr 20m labour, two year warranty. Total bill £508.52 inc Diag, VAT, etc. Time will tell............................
