I was thinking same thing . Although calipers do tend to get a bit corroded externally this one looks particularly bad at only 6 months old .

I activated via Skoda Connect App . Cost was a 'one off' £63 from memory.

Has anyone replaced their VRS Altair Wheels with Vegas ? I've never been a great fan of Altairs but love the new VRS and having owned one for a couple of months now the Altairs are still not growing on me ! I note that Vegas are 8J ET44 vs 7.5J ET48 on the Altairs and wonder if the Vegas would still be suitable for fitment with 225/40 tyres as are on the Altairs. If anyone has got Vegas on a VRS already I'd love to see an image. Thanks in advance for any help/info.

The image is very similar to the one I have securing my space saver wheel .

Hence reason I paid the £65 to have traffic sign recognition activated via the Connect app.

I activated the traffic sign recognition on the Skoda Connect App . One off cost of c £65 .

Standard routine when I get in car ...... Press the start button and immediately turn off stop start and lane assist 🙂

Thanks all for the various inputs . I've hard wired the Aguri DX4000 now and it works perfectly. It would appear that the mirror C Port generates less than the required 3 amps required by the DX4000 but probably generates sufficient amps for most dashcams out there.

Car is 3 weeks old now and arrived without cover . I purchased the one in image from Forge Motorsport .

Like this ....

The Aguri DX4000 needs 3 amps Steve presumably due to the extra functions it provides .

I've just bought the Aguri DX4000 which has added features inc. speed camera alerts and traffic sign recognition etc - have used their products previously and found them to be excellent. Hard wiring cost not an issue as kit came with the camera and I'll install it myself.

This happened to me and I relocated it as per your comments above. The connection was solid afterwards but no charge to the Dashcam although it will charge an I Phone . I think Hairy Joe's comment about 1.2 amp output is correct hence unable to obtain the 3 amp supply needed on the DX4000.

Thanks HJ , that would explain it . It's the hard wire route then .

The Aguri in question requires 5v/3a so just need to find out the USB output in case it's a cable issue .

Yes ignition on and engine running .

No cover on my recently acquired 2023 VRS so I improvised with some carbon fibre ... expensive but 24 months interest free on Klarna soothes the pain 🙂

The DX4000 Aguri Dashcam has a USB C charging Port instead of the usual min USB Port so I simply used a 30cm C to C cable but as I said previously , the power is not charging the Dashcam . There is power coming from the Mirror Housing C Port which I assumed would be at least 5V . The Dashcam does power up from the 12v boot socket using a 5V adapter. Skoda actually do a C to C cable so I might try one of those before going the hardwire route.

I think that's what they all look like with that engine. The Engine cover issue only affected the 2 litre tsi EA888 Gen4 engine.

Has anyone had trouble powering a dashcam from the C Port in mirror housing ? I know there is power there but my new Aguri DX4000 will not power up from this source even with the correct 5v 3 amp lead. The DX4000 will charge using it's 12v to 5v adaptor via the socket in boot. If I can't resolve issue I'll simply hardwire from fusebox but seems a shame when there is a ready made C port available.

Drove it back 340 odd miles yesterday to Cornwall ...... absolutely love it 😊

So apart from deliberations on Flaps , Multipoint Injection and GPF's (as an outgoing owner of one of the last 280's with a very low mileage) ... just saying goodbye having sold my Moon White Beast which has gone to a very good home and has enabled me to pursue my 'Off the Grid' adventures in a 6 month old VW California Ocean T6 . Been a blast with the 280 and with you lovely folk

Finished the 'pre winter fettle' including lots of cleaning / protection of all the hidden bits. Put a new 'S2K' plate on too . Here she is out and about in the West Cornwall Wilderness .......

Check out the Karoq section and also general feedback on the 1.5tsi engine in manual gearbox format especially ... there is a fix ongoing I believe . Plus my comment was directed specifically at Skippy for obvious reasons .
