"Convenience" window opening with remote stopped working.
Followed all the instructions, using both the individual door buttons and the master switch panel. Up, down, down, up. Ignition on, off, on. Nothing worked. Gave up, kicked back on my phone and relaxed in the driver seat for half an hour. On getting out, the windows worked perfectly! I felt I could hear the Skoda sni_ggering.

I reset from the screen menu: tried off, driver's window only and all windows. Only tried physical reset from driver's button.

"Convenience" window opening with remote stopped working.
Good suggestion, but I've tried it with my wife's keys and no joy. I fitted those with a new battery a few months ago. Nor with my own keys again, just in case there was some rolling code nonsense going on. At least you reminded me I'd left the car with windows cracked open because of the daytime heat.

Improving reversing light 2020 Scout
I switch on the hazards as I reverse, which intermittently doubles the amount of light shining at the back!

"Convenience" window opening with remote stopped working.
Just in time for the baking weather, my convenience opening has suddenly and completely stopped. The windows all open and close fine using the door buttons, but If I try to hold the lock button on the keyfob after the doors lock/mirror folds, or if I hold unlock on the keyfob, the windows do not shift. Following other forum hints, I've held the internal button down for about 15 seconds after it finishes, both for up and down actions. I eventually found the dash menu option (base display, without built-in Satnav) to set or turn off convenience windows, but this makes no difference. I found the action under locking/unlocking to rest the system to Manufacturer's Settings, but this does not work. I didn't realise how much I relied on this - I can close the windows overnight without leaving my desk normally! Skoda Superb estate SE 2019 RHD 1.5 petrol

DSG Parking
After two years of struggling with my DSG car's lack of creep (2019 1.5 TSI 7 speed DSG Superb Estate) I have a solution! Entry into our drive - sharp right, slightly uphill, between two brick posts, over a slight ridge, no transmission creep assistance - was a nightmare. I have recently discovered that if I select Sport mode by pulling the Transmission lever towards me, the situation is much improved. I don't know whether the clutch slips less or the tickover increases, but my car no longer comes to a halt at the critical point, and a slight throttle blip will see me over the obstacle and home. My car is a simple SE without the paid-for Sports gearbox option, but does have this sports option operated from the gearlever, so all the forward gears show as S1, S2, S3 etc instead of D1, D2 and D3...
