sharpest

I would think so, as I said I have done this on earlier vehicles but a few years ago now. I will look into it but I'm sure it will have to be reset. VCDS should be capable I think.

Hi all, I bought a new Scala in August this year and mine is the same just a tiny amount down to the right. I retired 8 years ago from 49 years working on all types of vehicles the last 32 my own business but that aside I can say I have remedied this many times on earlier vehicles simply by adjusting the track rods evenly. To even up the steering wheel the r/h side needs to screw in and the l/h side needs to screw out, this will pull the steering wheel back to centre position. I would initially undo the r/h lock nut 2 flats and screw the track rod in till the nut is back to the track rod end then lock it up. Then on the l/h side just unlock the lock nut enough so the track rod can move then watching the nut screw the track rod out exactly 2 flats then re-lock the nut. This way means you have centered the steering wheel but haven't altered the tracking. I will mention this at my first service which is paid for in advance and if no joy from them I will do it myself.

Hi all, another glitch with my brand new Scala SE L, four times now the front assist warning has lit up on the dash in front of me with absolutely nothing in front of the car and in good dry weather, is this a common ailment ? It hasn't hit the brakes yet but it is a bit worrying.

Thanks for That Alford but I can't see anything in the settings that addresses this issue.

I only have to move a finger anywhere near either front door handle and the car unlocks all the doors but only locks when I touch the passenger side sensor. The key fob works as it should.

Hi all, I recently bought a brand new Scala SE L 1.L. TSI and after reading the manuals I realised that the Kessy system doesn't work as it should. The doors open ok by touching the door sensor but nothing happens when touching again to lock it. I've spoken to the dealership where I bought it cos I thought they could talk me through something I was missing somewhere but they said not and offered to pick it up to take it back and check it out but as it was over 100 miles away I declined and said I would ask my local dealer. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do with VCDS or are there any settings in there that may need altering?

I can't understand why it wouldn't go into gear with a burnt out clutch, if the friction material is gone there is no drive through to the gearbox hence won't go up hill so there is nothing to stop it going into gear. In 49 years as a mechanic the last 33 my own business I have towed in many cars with a burnt out clutch and not seen one that wouldn't go into gear. incidentally I have have just part exed my 1.2 tsi Rapid Sport which I bought at one year old with 4.5k on it, it now has just over 120k on it with the original clutch.

Hi, have you tried powering the wipers using a scanner such as VCDS, just a thought as you can monitor output from bcm etc and may find the fault that way.

That's how my MAP sensor is so that is normal. I had a similar problem on my Rapid TSI 1.2 and it was the turbo actuator arm sticking. Easy job to lubricate it, you will see a steel rod going from inside the actuator to the exhaust manifold, I just gripped tat rod with a pair of mole grips and pulled it away from the actuator and the back in, working it like this in and out while spraying both ends with penetrating oil, I've had no problems since. Hope this helps.

Don't the phone details only come up when your phone connects ? Why would you want to delete it ?

Hi all, I have a February 2015 Rapid SE Sport Spaceback and the problem is after initially connecting my phone everything works perfectly including phonebook, call lists, missed calls and previous calls but later maybe next day even the only data which comes back on the car screen is the phone book, all the icons are there but nothing in there, i searched for this problem previously and the answer I found was to reset my network settings in my phone which is all very well but that operation removes all my wifi memory as well from the phone which is a Moto G8 power. That restores everything until the next time my phone connects. Has anyone come across this on any other Skoda, any help would be much appreciated as most of the time if I want to make a call I have get the phone book up and scroll through the list till I find the contact I need, not very convenient whilst driving. I looked at the Skoda software update portal but it only shows the Spaceback after May 2015 which must be when they updated the media unit from MIB1 to MIB2

Hi, I don't think your front bulb has anything to do with your problems elsewhere but what I would do is remove the Climatronic control panel-just 2 screws after unclipping the plastic panel underneath it and two clips above it, unplug the wiring from the back of it and give the plugs and connections a spray with with contact cleaner-switch cleaner etc but don't use WD40 as people often suggest as it acts as an insulator rather than a contact enhancer. I retired four years ago after 49 years repairing vehicles the last 34 self employed and I have seen a lot of intermittent problems caused with poor connections, their is so little current flowing through these circuits that it takes very little to upset them. There is a workshop manual disc on Ebay which I bought, it is quite comprehensive but some of the info is for LHD only and there is no mention of steering and suspension on it but it is quite useful with good wiring diagrams etc.

Hi, I've just been looking at Carista on the web as I haven't come across it before, can you see detailed data like temperatures of sensors and positioning of the the actuators etc and does it do adaptation-basic settings etc. ? I looked on Rosstech wiki with that engine ecu code you have, did you check the engine ecu and look at the data there ? http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01314

Hi, sorry to see your still having problems, trouble is main dealers just throw new parts at these jobs-trial and error rather than test and repair which is how it should be done, it wants looking at by someone who knows what they are doing and who understands how the thing actually works rather than working off a flow chart which most of them seem to do nowadays. If you know anyone with a good scanner such as VCDS the data from all the sensors can be viewed to see what is happening at the time of the fault events. Were there any fault codes stored in the AC ecu ?

Hi yes that seems like a lot especially when I priced it up with Skoda for genuine part they wanted £152.40 +vat. The part I got was the same make and part number as original as well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393023136866?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 My car is a 2015 spaceback sport.
