Ha ha , 4 yrs and still f-d , i rejected 2 yrs ago after a year of misinfo , failed updates , paying full price to beta test. I went with at the time 2 yrs ago with what i could get and want just enough. I went for an Hyundai Tucson N line S hybrid. It never fails to load the screen , it never calls SOS , it doesnt autobrake for no reason. POP POP !!! dont except it they have had 4 yrs to rectify. If you bought a telly and it started pop poping or freezing Currys would have it back same day

Although i dont have my 70 plate new shape VRS ( because it was a F up from the start) I went for the top UHP from Hankook. Really recommend them. Youll see them on top Audi's and E trons

If you're looking at a 2nd hand one, check the system info, ideally Head Unit H version or higher, software at least 1896 version. If lower than stated all of the above will apply. The lower spec models wont have as many probs , its the Columbus system plus other interdependent systems . I rejected mine but i managed to get the full 1896 software prior to collection.

My VRS went back last Thurs , i rejected it in April , they let me keep it till i was able to get another car. The VRS got 1896 late Aug and was how she should have been from new. Now i miss her!!! No im in a Tucson

Mine was called in for 3 days , free loan car. Had 1896 installed and she now works the way she should have done from new. No POP POP. Insist on 1896 or higher as my dealer hadnt heard of till they contacted Skoda UK HQ. The system boots faster and now is a joy to use

press the start infotain panel for a second and you go to a large clock. However youve turned off the sat nav , radio etc. You can choose 3 types of clock display

The likelihood is you'll solve this only to find another annoying feature . Every day mine says "changing user profile ok or cancel" Or turns on with auto Clim after i "F-IN" told it not to". My POP POP has been known to contact the emergency services on its own. Also the annoying multiple alerts , do you want to fund the nearest fuel station , your user profile is set to xxx. The auto hold not letting go , the ACC braking for cars in left lane ,, the list goes on and on. I have only 2 more months of this **** before its returned as rejected. If you had one fault ( even minor) on a TV from Currys , you would have it back in the shop in jig time for a refund. Ive sat in this infuriating mess for 18 months , 40 days plus off road for the dealer to "NO IDEA OF FIX". I wrote to the dealer last week and said , guys on the forum peeps are talking about 1896 , can i get that to see what the car should have been like from the start. Dealer ,,, " hmm not heard of that update ,but our tech guy would like to test the vehicle for 3 days" They have already had it and tested it for umpteen days to come back and say theres 85 faults that we cant fix. In true Glaswegian "Ah cannay wait tay see the back oh this c#nt" If you have a newer version say an H unit plus , your probably ok and enjoying what i should have had

Have the same issues as you mate , POP POP then emergency blah blah. When i go to restart the car after every pop event i get no registered user and spinning disk on screen. I have rejected this car but staying till my new other brand arrives. I called my dealer and asked for the 1896 update or something that fixes these annoying distracting errors.. Dealer , hmm not aware of any updates. So mate good luck wherever you go , the brand doesn't seem to care . Brand as VW group!

The Potenzas in my OP are mince. Ive had them as OEM on a few cars and they dont like the wet. I done some research when changing my Goody F1 SS's ( under 4mil at 8k miles) and went with Hankook Evo S3. In my Op a very good tyre , great grip in dry and wet. You will see this tyre on top end Audi RS's now as OEM. Plus its cheaper than the Mitch PS4S of Conti 6 . Everybody has an op when it comes to tyres

Happened to me when i was using the system to find a destination in Glasgow. It told me to turn left at the junction. At that point i knew it was wrong as a left turn was into oncoming traffic. When i looked at the screen i was about 5 miles from where i was. Contacted the dealer , dealer took the car for 3 days and road tested but could not replicate the fault. It happened again a few months after the dealer visit but not since and thats been about a year. Im just waiting for new car to arrive to ditch this , now its been formally rejected. I'll post my reg so that the next user gets a history of my probs PS still on 1803 S/W

This will likely happen to your Octy when Herr Sturgeon AKA Jimmie Krankie gets her wish to put a wall between England and Scotland. All the accelerating cars leaving Scotland!!

Hi Gwood. It might be registered 21 plate , but date on manufacture is key. Get in the car go to system info and see what the head unit code is , if its D plus and the software is 1803 plus ie a higher number. If this is the case the car might have a few little glitches such as pop pop SOS. Sat nav not being able to save . The adaptive cruise issue i had that on my Superb , and have it on the Octy, I just get used to and can anticipate when it falters. Mostly overtaking on motorway. When it falters , just a quick press on the gas and it clears the fault. So if me , and it was a D or later unit with higher than 1803 i would go for it as the car drives better than my prev Superb 190 sportline. Its smooth , quiet and looks great

Car has USB c for plug in. Make sure before you buy , check the head unit code and software. Unit will be shvhsh3383839932 (D) or (C) the end letter is key, the lower the letter ie C,B the older the head unit and potentially more problems. Ask the dealer for the most up to date software which , depending on later head units maybe 1896. I have 1803 and have a plethora of probs. Do some research and when you see the vehicle go to settings and system info to get the head unit and software version. If you S/W version 1668 or something like that , maybe well staying clear.

A factory milestone ! They completed 3 cars that day

When i ordered my VRS it was £1.20 a ltr of juice , price today £1.70. It wasnt a consideration when ordered but now it is. Thankfully i have rejected the VRS for all the bits that dont work and keeping her till my new Hybrid Bore chariot arrives in October. Get a warm or hot hatch , box ticked

Stick to 60 max , let her go eco on downhill ( ie foot off) you may get 42 to 45. I once got 52 but that journey was motorway long downhill. KW power output zero for many miles.

The main element of the fighter jet or any jet for that matter wasn't invented by the French. The French had the patented idea for the jet engine but our Frank Whittle made the idea a reality. When the Frenchman Maxime Guillaume came up with the concept in the 20's it was at that stage unfeasible. When you think of inventions , GB did invent most of the useful stuff in every day use today.

Your Op , but i havent heard anything on their forums of F'd up software, dangerous characteristics. Look at the media , Hyundia Tucson won every prize , Sportage the same . I don't stand woke , I'm buying a product that should be what it says it is. When you say crap my Octy VRS has been the worst experience of a new car. As a company driver , i have always had a new car every 3 years for the last 15 years. I never complained once in all of the cars i received till this.

I bet the Sth Korean brands are rubbing their hands at the state of the production of cars in Europe. From what i have seen and watched the brands have really stepped their game from cheap far east crap to some premium offerings. Audi are scaling back their materials in their cockpits , reverting to older chips , stopping production of certain lines. Want a Germanic branded car , how does Xmas 23 sound?

Looks good , mechanically drives good , not bad MPG but is an evil B#stard coded to kill you. LAURA CYBERDYNE INDUSTRIES T 300 I think Skynet were involved in the software coding. It freezes your screen , so u cant defrost the windows ( it laughs at you). It will pretend to not remember last settings and put your CLIMA on AC auto at 22 degs ( I get pleasure from your reactions HA HA ) It call the emergency services at whim ( Laughing at you POP POP) Overtake a car on the outside lane under ACC , HA HA i wont let you!!! Oh who are you , you must be a new user HA HA let me wind you up. Want to go somewhere you dont know how to get to : Ha ha i'll place you somewhere miles from where you really are!!! "Is that a dangerous obstacle ahead" , no its not but ill apply the brakes anyway HA HA . "Your indicators have a fault contact the dealer, your emergency services SOS have a fault contact your dealer. Front assist is not available , contact your dealer. YOU ARE DEAD , CONTACT YOUR DEALER.

??? A pic might help, wtf is a canard? Educate us.

Hankook Ventus EVO3 without a doubt , as good a PS4's but less cash. Changed from Goody F1 SS to these , much better in wet

Although the sat nav doesnt remember your home or other saved settings , i find it better than Google for showing traffic jams and alerting me to traffic. I hope my new Tucson does the same .

I went from a 67 plate Superb S/L 190 DSG to the VRS. The VRS is soo much quieter , smoother and really not that much smaller. So much so i never ever really thought about it. Its really nimble. I thought the Superb was Superb but the Octy felt ( NOW IM ONLY TALKING MECHANICALLY ) much better. Electronically on my version it was a disaster , fault after fault , freezing screens , forgetting users , changing settings at a whim. The list goes on an on ( dealer has 85 faults registered on the car) and well detailed in this forum. As i said many times , if i had bought a TV from Currys and it exhibited one fault , it would have been back in the showroom same day. Having to pay full price to beta test their software really stuck in my throat. I know some newer cars have maybe ironed out all the probs and it maybe a good call to go for one now but on my S/W version of 1803 , no fix has been made available after multiple attempts. A fix that was promised by Skoda UK 31st March 2022, the fix never came. So after 15 months , 40 days total off road at the dealer , i formally rejected and it was approved by VWFS. I really regret doing this as there is nothing out there in that price segment that looks as good and drives. So finally today signed paperwork for a Hyundia Hybrid Tucson N line. 23 week wait they say. Again , im soo annoyed at Skoda for serving their customers a pile of ****e car , a car that could have been the best car i ever owned.

Mine does it twice daily , it eventually will tell you SOS fault , contact your dealer. You might as well contact Mystic Meg for all the dealer knows
