HI. I am getting a warning on the maxidot that the car needs a service in 28 days time. No problem. I've booked the service. Can I cancel or reset the warning message, it's a minor nuisance. As usual the useless manual is no help, just tells me not to do it ? Thanks, Trebor

lights underneath the exterior door mirrors

Thanks. -
Are you using Auto Climatronic ? Try manual, just guessing. Fan speed ?

fan speed in auto mode, climatronic unit

This looks interesting, I will investigate, thanks -
Hi, When I switch the climatronic to auto I have no control over the fan speed, probably for good reasons. I saw a video online (Youtube I think) which suggested there was a way of taking manual control. I didn't explain how though. I suspect it needed reprogramming of the VCDS or something? Anybody met this ?? K

I find the Amundsen infotainment manual, especially re. SatNav, very difficult to understand. Does anyone know of an 'idiot's' guide dealing with the essentials, whilst ignoring the massive amount of secondary options? Thanks KK

auto-dimming rear view mirror

I wish I had been able to get the manual, but the auto was part of the spec -
I find the auto-dimming mirror a complete waste of time. It has a photocell at the front just under the mirror itself, which detects light coming from behind me, and another at the back of the mirror, detecting light coming towards me. if the the light from behind me is brighter than the light from the front it dims. (At least this is how I assumes it works.) I often have to drive at night along a busy, dark road. It is a fast and difficult road and I am often dazzled by headlights from behind. The mirror refuses to dim because (I think) the headlights coming towards me are just as dazzling as those from behind. The solution is (I think) to cover the sensor at the back of the mirror. This will force the mirror to dim whenever i turn on the dimming function. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you solve it ? KK

Back seats knock sound - help
Trebor77 replied to Sec8200's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have exactly the same problem, am fairly sure it the latch that holds the seat back. have tried everything else. Have not messed around with it yet, let me know if you make progress -
This what I got yes, On both occasions I stapped ASAP, visual check, proceeded carefully, then checked pressures later when cold. All was well
