Hi Brigade I have used your files for years always with great success. I tried this one on my car and my wife's and for some strange reason the cameras are shown but not all register with the alarm sound. Some do some don't. Never had this before .... Have I done something wrong? Both our cars have the latest EU/UK Skoda maps installed . Any advice will be gratefully received . Thanks

Many thanks as ever my friend .. greatly appreciated !

Today driving home at night I was sitting in traffic and the speedometer , then the rev counter white lit markings for mph and revs started showing pale orange and lit in pale orange in a circular motion sweeping clockwise and then reverted to the usual white . This kept happening all journey home . OK for a minute or two then sweeping pale orange clockwise. Both dials and not always at the same time! Looked like a blackpool light display! Can anyone please help advise what the hell is going on .. near impossible to concentrate with this weird effect! 2016 model only 39000 on clock . Many thanks

That's exactly what I did and whilst copying windows said cannot transfer as the folder exceeds the 4GB limit :( Thanks I will try that - it was next on my list to try. Just don't understand why every time I add new destination it asks for the country and I have to scroll down the entire europe list to get to UK . Surely the bloody thing knows I am in the UK from the GPS ?? It even then has a sub section for england so clunky ..

I have just updated my VrS 2017 Mib 2 unit to 2021 map from the Skoda portal using my VIN as I have twice before. I hit several issues 1) I couldn't extract or copy to the card as t was FAT32 skoda card and win RAR and Windows said the file ( 6GB) exceeded the FAT 32 file limit of 4GB. Called Skoda UK .. who said convert to NFTS .. did and it worked. BUT the new maps inc 1/2 of Europe and when I ask to set a dest then I am asked which country ---- scroll to the bottom of list for UK , then chose country again !! England. Then town before I get the pstcde . The map is out of date as It still doesn't show the A14 Cambridge which was completed over a year ago! Speed limits are wrong in several areas. Every time I ask for a new destination I have to go through the whole rigmarole of selecting country ! Never had these issues before. Can anyone help or so I rip the whole unit out and fit a decent sat nav! I prefer sygic but it won't link to the infotainment system . I get voice but not maps. Sick of the awful Skoda navigation Thanks

HERE HERE! Also the Timing belt issues where the incorrect mix of tensioner , belt etc cause premature failure and again NO RECALL. This is the last Skoda /VW/AUDI i or my wife will buy .. I have owned Audi.VAG Skoda for 40 years and NEVER again! Because of their lying , failure to recall and refusal to honour warranty . We have both had silicate issues and my wife also timing belt issue with her TDi both VrS 2017 and 18! Pathetic .. Nice cars f**ed by poor parts worth pennies but causing 1K£ damage ....

that's next step .. the issue at preset is getting the screaming to repeat in the garage .. he heard it in the car park but not on the ramp .. We are waiting for him to re examine the car from cold part stripped to see if the scream repeats . Obviously the more stripping the more the cost to us . As ever intermittent issues especially only when cold are a bugger to chase . :(

we don't know until we ask Skoda UK to foot the bill .. hence the post by my wife asking if anyone else had had this problem and success with claiming from Skoda UK for an issue hidden by a TSB rather than a recall notice in such a low mileage car. I have lost all faith with Skoda and Skoda franchisees over the last 3 years . Until we both bought VrS based on a Octavia we owned for years I thought Skoda were ok but now less so .. nice car .. Not as nice as Audi but less ££££ but the Skoda care and warranties seem like wet tissue :( Thanks very much for your comments .. appreciated

I understand what you are saying but the video I posted is from Skoda as part of the TSB and it clearly shows screaming not clattering and rattling . It sounds very like the mp3 files I posted of our car .That's why the tech and I are so wary . Ignore TSB and just do accessory belt .. get cambelt failure and neither the garage of Skoda will want to know. Last time he tried the damn thing didn't scream as the engine was warm. Which also fits the TSB ,, he is going to try again in a day or so to see if the scream will repeat with the covers off . It is a bummer :(

That's exactly what I thought hence blipping the engine. BUT the tech says the tech service bulletin and an accompanying video is saying that the timing belt for this engine # may have issues that appear as a screaming belt only when the engine is cold .. hence the concern. This is the Sk 000419.mp4 oda video they send to technicians who experience belt scream on this engine

I have done this and posted later in the thread ... thanks for listening

our garage cannot yet distinguish .. but are concerned about the TSB re: premature timing belt issues due to belt/tensioner compatibilty issues resulting in screaming only when cold ... I have posted the audio later if you are able to listen.

This is the squealing sound converted from video. The longer piece is 1st time start up and the screaming appears at the end. The shorter piece is the same video but a few seconds later . Anyone able to decide if this is the cold start timing belt issue due to tensioner/belt incompatibility reported under TSB or accessory belt ? Thanks 20210303_102956.mp3 20210303_103141.mp3

The car was bought brand new and has actually only done 16900 miles and is 3 years and 3 months since my wife bought it . Thanks
