Updating Map f/ware
I assume by exFAT , you are referring to NTFS. How long did the 29GB take to get into the Colombus system? I have try with a USB cause I do not have such high capacity SD cards. Got microSD cards though, will have to look for an adapter to go into the car 😟

Map upgrade problem
Does the myPOIs get deleted when updating the maps using the above method?

prolonged idling
Suggest you try out an alternative sleeping technique. 45 mins of spewing out emissions are not helping the environment either. From the car's perspective, unnecessary wear tear of piston heads?

Map not Showing in Virtual Cockpit
I got mine to work and hope it stays. This is what worked for me. I tried with a key fob that was not used on a previous journey. 1) Choose Navigation in the window selection (2 overlapping squares on the steering wheel) . You will see the empty screen as you currently see. 2) Leave it here for the rest of your trip. 3) Switch off ignition at the end of your trip. 4) Turn on ignition et voila it is back . ( I had an hour's interval before restarting). 5) Click View to get the map to fill the entire screen 5) I switched off the ignition after a short trip and on restarting again, the maps are still showing on the VC.

Map not Showing in Virtual Cockpit
Has started on my RS as well post first service. No map , only the zoom working while scrolling but no map image just an empty screen. All the other menus working fine.

Kodiaq Facelift Revealed
Feels like a missed opportunity for the Kodiaq. Looks like they do not want it to succeed. The looks are a step backward from the current generation. The wheels of the RS that cover the red brake pads, remind me of non-alloy wheels with hub caps . They plonked the Octavia RS engine into the Kody, it shd have atleast been the 280ch one that was in the Superb before. Hardly anything to be excited about.

Skoda Service Plan
There's no maintenance for the first 2 years? I have a weird interval in my skoda app, Oil Change when the car will have 24000 km or 1.5 years of purchase and a service inspection at 30000km or 2 years. Why not just merge these 2 when the interval is so short? To add to that the maintenance is supposedly digital. It would be so much simpler if there was a service booklet.

Disconnecting the battery
Interesting. By Overrun you mean coasting? I was intrigued by this micro hybrid term , does charging occur only during braking & overrun and not otherwise?

Disconnecting the battery
Thank you linni, snala for the inputs.... will probably ask a friend to start the car and idle/drive around a bit every few weeks instead of having to contend with the after effects you mentioned..

Disconnecting the battery
Hi, I need to leave the car unused for about 2 months and read that if not used for more than 3 weeks , the negative terminal should be disconnected. Wanted to know what readings will be reset or does it result in a factory reset to the settings. More importantly, being the RS model, the battery is in the boot and the boot is electric, will I be able to close the boot? Thanks.

Coolant
Fond an useful thread if anyone faces a similar dilemma. https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/20182/

Coolant
Will do @e-Roottoot. I had not checked the level on delivery. Got the warning at 10,100 kms to be precise. Came as a surprise to me as I've never topped up coolant in my previous cars ( 3 - all non-Skoda) just regular servicing. I filled it to between MAX and min to not Max level. The level was indeed below the MIN mark.

Coolant
Thanks Kenny R, will look at the tank again... Thanks Arkaig, that extract sure does dispel any doubts. Could'nt find a G13, finally got a G12++. SHELL Longlife G 12++

Coolant
Yesterday on starting the carafter 5 days, I got the coolant level warning. The warning disappeared after 3 restarts. But it's back again today. On checking it, it seems just below the MIN mark. I looked for the specification of coolant and found G12 on a digital manual I downloaded. But in printed manual that came with the car, it mentions G13. I searched in couple of filing stations here, and none of them have G13. I found G12. Can top up with it? Thanks. vRS with 10K kms on the clock.

Engine Oil & AdBlue Consumption on the RS
Hello folks, running my RS for the last 7 months with around 6500 kms on the clock. On checking my adblue range , I got about 2500 kms left. So that's a range of 9000kms. Driving style is about 30% sporty, rest is a mix of relaxed highway & the usual in town jaunts. What about other RS owners, how much do you get from your adblue? I was trying to find the engine oil capacity but can't find any mention in the owner's manual other than it consumes around 0.5 ltr/1000 km. Anyone have the official capacity from skoda?
