Apologies to everyone that has been trying to use the guide I produced. VW have taken all instances of the portal down. Skoda's POI portal has been broken for some time. After a bit of research i've come across this on the Seat forums:
I haven't had time to test; but it appears that this works. Once I get chance to play with this, i'll update the guide accordingly. For now, if anyone is looking for a solution to the POI loading problem, this is (currently) your best shot.

Hello. Thanks for the info as a couple of months ago I've managed to add some POI's to my Amundsen.
However, I also tried today and it seems that VW has changed the mentioned webpage and I cannot find anymore tha portal to start the import.
Am I doing something wrong, can someone provide a solution?
Thanks!

CarPro PERL; it's an SiO2 based fluid that can be used on tires and plastics (great for engine bay dressing). It leaves a kind of satin finish on the tires and lasts at least a week in damp conditions.

Yeah I figured it was to do with emissions. Shame my spare litre in the boot is a different viscosity :/

Just had my diesel vRS in for first variable service, and noticed on service sheet that the oil used was shell helix 0w30; now the manual states 5w30. Spoke to dealers and they informed me that Skoda have changed the spec. I can't find any info on this and figured this was best place to ask.

Forgot about that; used a generic card to load some POIs...
Yeah they use a custom cert embedded in the firmware to decode the data for the stereo. Ignore suggestion 1

Here's a couple of things you can try:
- Use any 32Gb SD card (or a 16Gb if you have one); just use the 'quick format' option in Windows and it should be good to go.
- Redownload the map files from the Skoda Portal (could be corrupt data you downloaded; unlikely but possible)
- Check the stereo without any SD card inserted functions properly.

Hi Bomski. I was delighted to read your post but when I follow the links in the guide I get to a blank VW page and one that I think says that the link is broken (it's in German so only guessing) Am I doing something wrong? Hope you can help cause I am going to loose my license if I don't get some speed camera warnings. I have moved from a Navara to a Superb and to say it's quite comfortable, economical, responsive (everything the Navara is not) would be an understatement
There's a typo in the URL, I'll get it updated shortly, in the meantime use this link to get to the VW portal:

Thanks norsko; I removed the original badge a while back and the part number was as mentioned above. I bought some badges off eBay (official, but for a yeti) but they don't have the curve to them like the originals.
-
Does anyone know the rear emblem badge part number? I know the front is 3V0 853 621A but was unsure whether the rear is identical or not.
Cheers,

My usual routine is to apply snow foam then pressure rinse once it's dwelled for a while. I've never once considered manually removing snow foam from under the wipers and have always pressure washed that area with no apparent issues.
Re: the honeycomb grille; are you referring to the one in front of the intercooler? If so that's also an area that can be pressure washed.

I recently purchased a DAS6 Pro from Shop n Shine; came with some Hexlogic pads and some Scholl Concepts compounds for £209. It's a great piece of kit and after owning a Porter Cable random orbit polisher I can certainly say it's a far better machine.

The second car (Fabia) was listed as having cruise control, despite it not being on the spec sheet. Cruise is usually an option because lots of areas in the UK are residential and therefore cruise is impractical. I'd contact a dealer to discuss your needs before you make a decision.
-
I'd give these guys a call and ask if the SE has cruise control as it seems to be fairly well specced already. Regular cruise control can be retrofitted (AFAIK); adaptive cruise control can't...
Failing that, the Simpsons Skoda site lets you filter cars that have cruise control (use refine search, advanced, cruise control)...

I've only tried one or two Chemical Guys products over the years, neither being a wheel cleaner or fallout remover and as they are likely not to stock other brands I can't help.
But for a non Chemical Guys wheel cleaner/fallout remover, Bilt Hamber Autowheels really can't be beaten. Many have tried and many have failed. In most case (unless really baked in brake dust onto wheels which require a little longer dwelling time and agitation with a Wheel Woolie or similar) is a touchless cleaner.
+1 for Bilt Hamber... It really is worth every penny

Reckon if they want it, they'll just tear around the dash to get at it... I'm considering getting a forensic DNA marking kit. Might be enough of a deterrent; but then again...

Part number request: Rear tailgate inner trim (Estate)
in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Posted
Can anyone help me identify the part number for an 2013 Octavia Estate rear boot trim (plastic that covers the part of the boot where the pull-down is). I have a friend that has somehow managed to knock a hole in it and i'm struggling to get the right part number.
