This was far too short for me too. I found a 50cm on ebay which is nice and tidy

Without removing the panel and securing the cable properly are you sure it won't interfere with the airbag?

Is there the option to turn on an audible tone in addition to the confirmation of the lights? Had it on my mk3 vrs but can't find any option on my mk4 vrs. Cheers

Cheers for all the relies, I have a Nextbase 622 so will probs get the cable spcdust recommends. Thanks again, Adam

That's great thanks for the info. Problem is, on a RHD UK car you would normally have the dashcam on the passenger side

Hi, fingers crossed I'll be picking up a 2023 VRS TSI estate next week. I have a dashcam and intend to use the socket on the mirror......although it appears to be setup for the LHD market as its on the drivers side. What cable do you use? Is there small one available and is the socket permanently powered to allow the camera to be used with parking mode? Thanks

I always choose where my car goes. Its always a Skoda approved repairer not a generic 'fixer of all'. A list is available on the Skoda website. The insurance company will want a quote from them first but shouldn't be an issue. This will also give you assurance the car will be repaired.

I had a similar issue, it's really not that hard to do, appears to be quite soft metal. From what I understand, proper repair is quite significant as it involves welding sticks on and pulling the dent out from the front, a little filler, paint chip texture stuff then the colour. I guess the bodge would just be to fill and spray From memory, wasn't far off a grand at a Skoda approved bodyshop - that was some time ago.

I had the same. Dealer greased the bush with the 'special' grease which had to be ordered in but has since been fine. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/456544-creaking-subframe-thoughts/?do=findComment&comment=531934 See post by jordy_wd Nov 2019

The insersion of the new battery could have caused a blown fuse which would produce errors. I'm not sure if all these circuits are connected to the same fuse? Just something to check, I always start with the basics...

Not nessasarily, they did that with mine, plugged a gadget into the diag port - this just gave the car some power to keep settings whilst the battery was disconnected. Made a right mess of it and then drove off. Blew the fuse to the port which turns out is the same fuse as the light switch - took me ages to work out. Had to take it to Halfords Autocentre to get new battery coded.

It is a strange one but when there is pressure on the pulleys the noise goes, it's when it's idling (air con off) it causes the noise.

Sounds similar to mine a couple of years ago. New air con compressor solved it. Price isn't too bad on Eurocarparts. 2014 Diesel VRS with 75k

Nice! Lowered?

I've the same engine on 86k and use about 0.5l per 6k miles. Dpf has defo started to regen more. Looked at my last invoices from Skoda main dealer, looks like they were putting 5w30 in until the last service when it appears to have changed to 0w30!?
