Have the problem when you set your car on Sport or Eco from driving mode and it always resets to D Have the problem when you set the Virtual Cockpit to sport and it always resets to default The solution is here Kidding aside found a workaround for this, but don't tell Skoda, they might fix it as a BUG never It only works if you have profiles on your car. Configure one profile per your desire name it XXX, and make a copy of it and name it YYY Set both keys to profile XXX. Start the car and for profile YYY set Sport mode, VS Settings, etc, configure whatever you know resets when ignition off and you want to keep. When starting the car you have the option to use the key profile XXX or load a different one. Load the other profile YYY that has the same personal configuration, thous it's mirror purpose, but your preferences that always resets. Surprise... Sport mode, is there, everything is unchanged as you left it, so simple. Only scroll up and press OK 2 times on the steering wheel. yes I know still not perfect, but easier then going in 5 different places to set it as you want every time you start the car. And if you are in a hurry and forget to press the buttons on the steering wheel and don't load the correct profile, no worries, the default profile, still has all your personal settings and preferences. Just don't change to much one of the profile only, or you might need to synchronize them again 😛 No need to thank me, just donate me money hahaha

I love my new Virtual Cockpit ..

you need the optical cable, do you have it? -
I've replaced mine, with an original part bought from carz equipment. It's not that straightforward. Went to a garage and they did it for me. 160E part because of the VRS logo and 20E work labor.

HIghest mileage with a DQ200 DSG gearbox...?
ccosmin replied to Lingnoi's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I see some bad luck here with you -
Sorry, was away these days, but I have 26.000 km done, and on my last 250km drive I had around 50-70 misfires per cylinder, on the counter. Sport/ECO/Normal driving....
-
I did a similar math but different, regardless of the time droven, i's count in average of 10 misfires/day for 900 days. COnsidering nothing is affected, drivability is fine, no errors. When you have in one run many more misfires, it will probably cause the errors to trigger as it happened to me, but not enough to cause check engine light... So assuming this is normal....

Hello, Found an error 3 days ago: P0303 - Cyl. 3 misfire P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder - Misfire Detected No check engine light or any other lights on the dash. Removed the faults (have them in a backup) and did not show up anymore since then. Strange though, I did a live reading of parameters, for misfire, and seems to have some high numbers of misfires i believe since beginning - 2.5year old car. And if I hit the throttle hard and go to high RPM's I get 1-2 more every now and then. Is this normal? Should I check something? Could it be the gas although it's Premium 100. Did anyone else read these live parameters? Or it should 0 or close to zero?

Stronger gas strut for boot
ccosmin replied to ccosmin's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I would go for a pair of matching force, but if there is no issue having them like this, I would not hurry in searching, buying.. laborious work -
Stronger gas strut for boot
ccosmin replied to ccosmin's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Hi, My new gas struts arrived over the weekend and it seems they are a bit 2 strong. Apparently only 1 new does the job, so now I have left: 530N and right: 590N of power; Does anyone see any problems here? should I have them synced with 2 600N ones, or it's ok to have them different? Thinking about issues on the different force applied just 2 one side....
