I’ve seen a thing about a number of warnings flashing on startup including TPMS, hill hold, parkpilot etc being linked to either a faulty or dirty ABS sensor (iirc). I saw it myself first-hand after a particularly sedentary, salty drive not too long ago. After the drive home, no issues to be seen. Also no issues during the drive.

I was under the impression the clutch disengages when brake is pressed. brake is pressed to change from R to D, therefore there’s a slight delay before it reengages. Could be way off the mark however.

Good to know! I’m in Swansea but travel between Llanelli and Cardiff for work so down that sort of area anyway. 👍

None, from what I understand.

Yup, my non-Vrs estate facelift does, especially when parking up on hills. I’ve put that down to bushes creaking which isn’t a major issue for me. I do have a bit of a “knockety” sound intermittently though, sounds like an under-tray/panel that is loose but more prevalent at lowish speeds, over consistently uneven road (as is commonplace here in Wales). I’ll be flagging that up with the dealer shortly as my concern is that it could be a duffed spring or drop link (plus I need to check that it’s not something in the boot...) even though the car has only done 10k miles (but will also give me an opportunity to flag up creaky suspension). Different issue for a different thread, I guess!

Yes, the Octavia is a recent change and the DSG models (for Fabia and Octavia) have hill-hold as standard. This was done on a Fabia III (1.0tsi Colour Edition, 5sp Manual). I also did cornering fogs, refill quantity, lap timer (lol), throttle input type and needle sweep while I had the trial membership.

Used the free trial membership, went onto 'Customise', then there's a subsection for something like 'Driving' if I recall correctly and 'hill hold'. Activated that and pressed 'save' then it showed a loading screen and 'complete' thereafter. Worked like a charm after that'd be done.

Right so I have pins which I've crimped to either side of a circa 2m-long 1mm single-core cable. I can access the connector behind the auto-lights switch, which I've put in place for the time being. I've no doubt I can access the BCM, but what is the best way to route the cable from one to the other? Are there any other bits of trim that need to be removed (I'm thinking from driver's side)? Cheers in advance!

Background: I don’t have auto lights. Purpose: I would like auto lights (and auto wipers and coming home lights that’d come with it). Issue: though I reckon I could give the hardware side of things a good go, I don’t have coding on my side. Therefore any help would be hugely appreciated. Looking at the Auto Switch p/n - 5GG941431D Rain/light/humidity sensor - 8U0955559C Both from AliExpress, and would need the additional cable from the switch to the control unit. Anyone got tips for routing the cable too? It’d need to be extended but that’s no real issue as I’ve a soldering iron/heat shrink/etc. Diolch in advance! edit: this is for a ‘68 Facelift SE Estate.

Morning ladies and gents! CarPlay is great... however, I'm getting random stuttering during songs when playing Spotify via CarPlay. I've tried downloading the songs so there's little 'buffer' and it carries on. It's a micro-second stutter intermittently. I've only tried with a new Syncwire cable (decent quality) and will try with a proprietary cable but it's a fairly widely reported issue from what I've seen. iPhone is up-to-date for what it's worth. Anyone experienced the same and have any fixes? Edit: I don't get any stuttering whatsoever through Bluetooth.
