where do you read that?

It looks like you can get replacements off ali express. They won't be OEM but I've had plenty of parts from there and never had an issue. Look to be about £10-15 each side

My 2016 1.6tdi will be 10 years old in September and whilst I've not really had any battery issues it must be running on borrowed time so I have taken advantage of a 20% off code on EBAY and bought a Bosch 096 AGM battery from Tanya. Looks to be a fairly simple process to code it via OBDeleven https://obdeleven.com/how-to-change-and-register-a-car-battery?tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=23520343912&tw_kwdid=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23520351964&gbraid=0AAAAACmF5GW-gpPU1Jzz6Hl5BvJocEdfy&gclid=CjwKCAiAs4HMBhBJEiwACrfNZa-A8BY-ryW1D3FitmzNgCcB5MNVlaZPuoFSM2ctcstdAN6WiWjJyRoC8pwQAvD_BwE

Thanks for the reply. I will get it booked in to my loxal garage and see what they say

I have a 2016 1.6 tdi with 125k miles on the clock. The car is showing symptoms of what I think is probably injector issues. It's definitely down on power, MPG is down, struggling to accelerate uphill, just feeling slower than it did plus I get the occasional blip which feels like a misfire on a petrol engine. It's not the turbo which cuts in as it should. OBD11 showing no faults. Is it likely to be injectors? If yes how can I tell which one? I'm assuming only 1 given it doesn't feel "too bad". I've bought a fuel additive so will try that when it arrives. If it is the injectors, it doesn't look too difficult a job. I'm reasonably competent and have the tools needed but am I missing anything which may make it more difficult than it looks? Do new injectors need to be coded? If yes what is the process? Grateful for any help or advice

OBD Eleven is fine for pretty much what most on here are likely to need

I had a cheap dongle from ali express which worked fine for a while but then after a software update will now only connect to apple phones, not android It must have downloaded the wrong software. I've had 3 in total. 2 now not working, the other one clinging on. They are a pain and stop working if they get notification of new software but you don't get notified it is happening. Also quite flakey in whether they will connect and I often have to disconnect and reconnect the USB to get them to connect to the phone. I keep a usb cable in the car in case I can't get connected but need waze

no one have anything to add? Reading online it seems that it could be the actuator although unclear if the manual AC has one or two of these. If one I'm presuming it can't be that

No, unfortunately it's manual so no option to do a reset

2017 1.0 TSI with manual AC, drivers side heating (Vents and footwell) both cold and passenger side are hot. Classic symptoms of a blocked heater matrix, however the expansion bottle doesn't have the "mit silicat" label and the coolant is bright pink. We've had the car 4 or 5 months or so have only just realised as it's got colder weather that this is happening. I have taken the side panel off the centre console and both the in and out pipes connected to the the heater matrix are hot so I am wondering if the issue is something else given that the pipes are hot, the coolant clear and there is no silicat bag present (I appreciate someone may have changed the coolant and tank to try and sort the issue although would still expect the coolant to discolour). Any thoughts? Could some flap somewhere be broke or stuck so the hot air isn't being directed through?

I had a similar sounding problem a few years ago on my mk1 1.9 tdi. Car would be fine and every now and then would simply refuse to accelerate properly, peaking out about 70mph despite my foot being on the floor. It got more and more regular and was diagnosed as a failing turbo. New turbo sorted it

@Cairus thanks for your help, that has sorted the 5f issue. Any ideas on the parking assist one

Thanks I'll have a go. I can't see anything attached image though?

Hopefully this is the one OBDeleven data log Date: 2025-08-22 17:40 VIN: TMBKG7NE0G0182570 Car: Skoda Octavia Year: 2016 Body type: Estate Engine: CXXB Mileage: 191441 KM

I've had a couple off ali express and had no issues other than every once in a while they seem to stop connecting to the phone so I go through the process to update the firmware on the device and they work again. It appears to be constantly checking for new firmware and stop working when one is released, or that's the only reason I can think for what happens

Anyone?

Just found one I did the other day history.txt

Sorry I'd just hit the backup option in OBD11 as @Cairus had asked for that. Will do a scan and post

I've finally managed to sort today if anyone is able to help? history.txt

Mine is a 1.6 tdi, 2016 plate. I drive shortish journeys, a mix of 5 to 10 miles and 10 to 20 miles mostly interspersed with some longer runs on weekends and have never had an issue with the dpf. Currently done 116k, of which 60k is me in 7 years. The dpf regen runs regularly and the fans come on some times if it's working when I park up but no issues whatsoever. Car is regularly serviced and I've had no other issues with it although I appreciate you're looking at the 2.0 litre not the 1.6

I tried today but it failed for some reason. I'll try aga8n tomorrow

Anyone?

Can anyone shed any light on this for me? My parking sensors started showing a fault which I traced to a broken wire which had become teapoed between the bumper and bodywork, presumably down to me nudg8ng s9mething with my bumper. Anyway I have repaired the wire and the sensors seem to be working although it doesn't seem to be the same as it was as I'm fairly sure I used to get a long Bern when I put the car in reverse although that could be my memory playing tricks on me. I have cleared the fault codes with obdeleven but still getting this error Databus missing message U112100 Does anyone have any ideas?
