Thanks for your input Alasdair 👍

According to Skoda, Mann filters are approved.

That’s not what Skoda say. They state OEM or Skoda approved parts. That’s because, as far as oil filters are concerned, they can’t say use a Skoda oil filter because we all know Skoda don’t make oil filters.

I am about to have an oil and filter change on my Kodiaq 2.0 diesel at an independent garage, which I am allowed to do without voiding the warranty as long as they use OEM parts. Can someone tell me which OEM filters are used by Skoda?

In my two previous cars, Octavia VRS saloon and Octavia VRS estate, I had a really strange event where the Car Play always lost connection as I approached the M6 Toll from the north. After about a mile into the M6 Toll, connection was automatically re-established. With the first car, I just put in down to a purely connection issue, but on subsequent trips in always lost connection at that spot. When I got the estate and the same thing happened, I thought that something weird was happening at that location. Now with my current Kodiaq I haven't been down that way as yet, but cant wait to see if the same thing happens again.

I set Auto Hold to 'ON' in the vehicle braking section of the infotainment screen. All is fine for two or three days, then the next time I start the car the Auto Hold setting is disabled. I then have to go into the settings again and re enable it. What is that all about?

I have it set to the maximum distance, it is far too sensitive.

Same here, flashed up many times but luckily not hit the brakes. One aspect I really hate is when passing a junction where a car is waiting to turn out onto the main road, it flashes up then. I just hate it with a vengeance, it frightens everyone in the car to death.

The reason I ask is on ACC, the slowing down starts much sooner and at motorway speeds, muck harsher than you would tend to do driving normally. I have found cars behind think I’m brake testing them!

Just a question, when the car slows down on ACC, do the brake lights come on?

I couldn’t agree more. I do exactly the same thing. I have travel assist switched off and use ACC which slows the car down when catching the car in front even in traffic then automatically speeds up again when the car in front sets off again. Remember also that the slowing down is provided by the rear brakes.

Thanks for the info dembala

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I have had a few issues with Car Play losing the connection to my IPhone. This happens randomly while in the the middle of a journey. I have tried various ways of re-connecting but the only way that works is to get switch off the car, get out and lock it. When i get back in, Car play connects immediately on switching on the ignition. Anybody else had this issue ?
