The delivery of my new Octavia vRS was delayed as it needed a few attempts to get the software upgraded and each attempt took several hours. Too much technology in my opinion! I'm not sure I'd want to buy anything modern out of warranty. :-(

That's interesting. So, the sound I described in my post were clicks that came through the speakers. It sounded like interference to me, but I did comment to SWMBO that it sounded like a loose connection. Maybe there is an element of physical components failing rather than it just being a software issue?

Thanks very much for the advice. I'll get it booked in and let you all know how I get on. Much obliged. :-)

I used Forever Black to restore the scuttle cover on my old 911 and after 3 years they still looked like new. Really easy to apply as well.

It's actually a genius idea. Stop/start is ideal for stop/start traffic ie. traffic jams, but not great for pulling out into traffic no matter which way you cut it. I'm not a fan. It doesn't seem to suit my driving style and the engine always cuts out a couple of feet short when coming to a halt.

Hi. Looks like I have this problem on my new vRS which has done under 500 miles. The symptoms are: Started with a few weird clicks through the speakers. Warning about SOS system came up on the dashboard and advised to take to a workshop. GPS went out of position. In the ceiling console the passenger airbag warning is illuminated. The next day everything was fine for a while then a couple of clicks and the SOS warning came up again but the GPS was fine. Today everything is fine bar the passenger airbag warning sign. Before I book it in to be looked at: Would disconnecting the battery potentially reset anything? Is there any risk to doing this? My understanding is that I'll expect the "Christmas tree lights" immediately after starting the car but that these should clear after a bit of driving. Thanks in advance for any advice.
