    Hi Simon. A bit off topic but how much is your Tax on new car, did you have extras that pushed it above 40k and the 5 year extra £390 tax? Mine is being delivered in a few weeks and nobody seems to know the list price, not even Skoda 🤷‍♂️ many thanks. 

    Hi B9MAT,

     

    I specced mine to keep it under the 40K and gave up DCC however when it came in they registered it at the current list price which was >41K so hit with the extra tax. I was fuming as I could have had my DCC and a few other options. I pay £560 a year.

    Hi folks,

    Octiavia iV Boot Opening

    in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Further to my info above,

     

    I know the car normally beeps when it's being opened via the drivers door or the key fob however the issue I am having is that as the door is almost opened it emits a continuous beep then stops when it has opened which it never did  before. Earlier this morning when I manually opened it via the button on the back door it did the same, it opened without the beep beep beep but then when it was opened let out a loud continuous beep.

     

    Thanks.

    Octiavia iV Boot Opening

    in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Can someone please let me know what could be the issue when I open my boot on my Octavia iV VRS. I press the button to open it on the drivers door and the back door starts opening with Beep, beep, beep then I get a BEEEEEEPPPPPP 

     

    The boot is empty other than my charging cable. Pressing the close button closes it OK. If I manually press the door open button on the back door it opens OK with no beeping.

     

    Any help would be great.

     

    Thanks

    Engine needs to run longer

    in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )

    Hi,

     

    Just an update should anyone need it.

     

    Car was in at the stealership and they said battery was OK and that the message Engine needs to run longer message is normal and will go away after you have been driving constantly for at least one hour. It's the petrol filtering system doing a regen similar to a DPF on a diesel. Since I drive 98% on pure EV I hadn't seen that error before and driving to York from Scarborough and back obviously wasn't long enough in a single trip.

     

    Car is now working again as it should, i.e. switching to EV driving through towns and stopping the engine at traffic lights. 

     

    So, if you see this message pop up with a picture of a car with an exclamation mark through it then now you you need to take your baby for a wee drive :D

    Looking for part number

    in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )

    Posted

    Hi Guy's,

     

    Would anyone know the part number for the nuts that keep the 12v battery cover located in the boot on a 2021 MK 4 iV VRS.

     

    I took the nuts off to check the battery and lost one 🙁.

     

    They need a 10mm driver to remove them and have a built in washer. Also used to bolt down the Canton Sub in the boot.

     

    Thanks

    Engine needs to run longer

    in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )

    Hi folks,

     

    I am really starting to hate my 71 plate Octavia iV PHEV VRS with all the software glitches on it. 

     

    I got it end of October 2021 and it has just reached 8000 miles on the clock so not a high mileage. Drive to work and back which most of the time is on EV.

     

    Since the last OTA updates a few weeks ago I get the text Engine needs to run longer when it switches into Hybrid mode and it will not switch the engine off again until I do it with the ignition. 

     

    I contacted the stealership as someone on the forums mentioned about the 12v battery being defective and possibly damaged by the CAN gateway. I'm on 1896 this now  and the CAN software is 7310 according to the stealership which is the latest they say.

     

    Can someone confirm if this is the case and would it be reasonable to expect Skoda to replace the battery under warranty given the low mileage and previous issues with the software from new.

     

    Thanks,

     

    John

    Mine never did it until a few weeks ago and that's with the new 1896 software. Skoda are aware of the problem and mine is going in tomorrow for another software fix and potentially a module replacement.

     

    Will update you afterwards.

    Canton Surround Sound

    Hi John,

     

    Hope you managed to get this working (I wrote the article Kenny linked to).  It does work, but you do need to turn the Canton surround value up to between +7 & +9 before you will be able to hear the true audio separation.

     

    Also, whilst other lossy formats will work, FLAC or ALAC seems to work best with lossless 5.1.

     

    Any questions, please let me know and i'll try and help.

     

    Thanks,

    Stephen.

     

    Thanks Stephen,

     

    I've not had a chance to test it yet due to COVID 😞

     

    Will try this weekend and let you know.

     

    Ripped the multi-surround audio from my BluRay Audio disc. The thing I don't understand is that the manual for my Skoda Octavia 4 VRS iV (Jun 2021) say's only Opus supports multichannel sound. I will try FLAC as this is what I usually use for everything else and MediaInfo shows the file is 6 chan.

     

    Thanks again.

    Canton Surround Sound

    in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )

    Posted

    Hi Folks,

     

    Does anyone know what format my music needs to be on the USB to produce real 5.1 Surround sound on the MK 4 iV with Canton sound system. I have tried the original wav files which are 5.1 Dolby encoded but they only play in 2 channel. I've tried converting them to FLAC, Opus and Ogg all to no avail yet they play OK on my Denon amp.

     

    Thanks.

     

    John
