I've said this before: I prefer manual handbrake, one can't do a handbrake turn with an electronic handbrake.

now regarding the rear tweeter, i haven't taken this door panel off yet to see what can be done
is it possible to fit an aftermarket tweeter component keeping the original grille?
Yes it is, I did it.
It is a bit tight fit but there is enough space for Rainbow Germanium GL-T26.

My dealer told me that is to prevent the snow getting into actual airfilter, I'm not sure if he was being serious...
-
I did that same mod to my vRS two years ago.
Just remember to check the filter box periodically, dirt gets there much easier now.
There's a pipe at the bottom of the filter box and mine got blocked from dirt. I had to remove the box and clean it thoroughly.

No but manual does:

I've had no problems with the stickers. These were a premium quality though.

Still winter tyres on, I see.
I've changed mine already.

I've had mine for more than 2 years now and I have never regretted the colour.
In fact in January whenI was getting back to my car in a parking garage at a shopping center I was focused on my phone and I quickly glanced my surroundings and saw a very good looking car. It took a second to realize it was mine...

I would try to reset it by changing driving mode and left side/right side traffic settings.
And, of course, checking with VCDS.

There is no sensor for a passenger (weight sensor) in rear seats, only sensors for seat buckles.

@Petunet This driver can expect £100 fine and 3 points at least. http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-47040584
Wau, I didn't expect anyone actually driving like that.
We don't have a point system in Finland but fines can be massive.

It's a requirement for the driver to clear snow that's on a vehicle before they drive off, because if a large lump of snow slides off and hits the windscreen of a following vehicle or causes the following vehicle to swerve and subsequently has or causes a accident then the driver of the vehicle from which it came can be held culpable for it.
Yes it is.
But when I was serving at the armored forces, this was considered as a "plenty of view":

If you have the Skoda Connect I guess you have a FaceLift version.
I'm not sure if your Webasto can be connected to the Skoda app but there are other remote controllers out there if it can't be done.
Something like this: https://www.remuc.fi/site/remuc/en/

I do have heated screen and Webasto as a part of my Winter pack but I still keep my "Fiskars SnowXpert snowbrush and ice scraper" with me.

Shouldn't be a problem, I had -34°C diesel in the tank on my Seat Cordoba TDI and the car outside temperature meter showed -35°C.
2 hours of warming with a block heater before start and I drove a 100km journey without any engine/diesel problems.
Door locks froze up during the drive so I couldn't get out of the car except through the trunk but ½ hour warming sorted out that too...
Gearbox uses small gears for 10-15km before it starts to warm up, then it's ok.
On a very cold morning at -38°C my 4x4 Subaru locked the wheels just by pressing the clutch without touching the brake pedal, the oil in the gearbox was so cold that it was almost solid.

Interesting. So they claim that with the "angled tool" there is enough space to take out the filter and put a new one back?
And how they clean the filter surroundings? Maybe they have a angled washing system and a angled camera too...
I don't think I would accept that unless Skoda is saying that this is a valid method.

Freeze? How long are you leaving them for, an hour?!? They won’t freeze with no heating on for 5 minutes.
It is a bit different when there is -32°C outside. It's not just the freezing, the moisture from exhale is also significant.
However, I use Webasto for this purpose. I don't leave the car running unattended.

I agree, why isn’t is enabled as standard??
Because Canton's give more profit to the factory/dealer?
Standard audio system mustn't sound too good.

any one know where I can get one to hold 285bhp. As don't want a expensive on due to little power boost from a stage 1 to a stage two... Thanks..also looking for a cheap do delete pipe nothing to crazy. Thanks in Advance for helping me out
You do know that it has a water-intercooler integrated to the inlet manifold, don't you?
So with a front mount intercooler you will need a custom inlet manifold and quite a lot of work with cooling pipes and EGR valve.

It was -18°C for a couple of days but it is now a bit warmer so I decided to wash the car.

Buying narrower winter tyres
in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Posted
It really depends were you are, what are the conditions and how you drive but for everyday driving I would recommend studless tyres.
I have studded tyres but I have to be able to get to my destination (sometimes in a hurry) in every possible weather.
