  1. I've tried recentering allright and also going back to factory settings on Octavia, still no joy. The annoying thing is that it works perfectly on another car. Been keeping the phone in the same place I always had and it's always worked before. Anyone know if there's been recent software updates? Car is 2016
  2. Recently my maps has packed it in, will come on and let you put in directions etc but the GPS locks where you've started the car and won't move along with your journey, so no idea where you are so it's worthless. Installed waze which is a bit better, but find it very confusing and according to a friend it's not working like it should. Figured it was a phone/maps/android auto issue and played with the settings to no joy and very frustratingly it all works perfectly on my other car... A bloody Hyundai. Only thing I can think of is that my Skoda doesn't have it's own independent gps, but the Hyundai does, so I wonder does the phone work off the cars gps rather than the phones when struggling but that sounds very sophisticated... Any suggestions before I just try resetting the cars infotainment system because can't think of anything else to try
  3. I used a website called Ledperf. And got and got led side lights which I'm very happy with, always bothered me that my model, 2016 vrs had all led lights bar the side light. Not sure if meant to share links etc. here but I'll pm you

  6. Hi, apologies of this is in the wrong place or already answered elsewhere. My 2016 Octavia VRS has red/pink engine coolant in it and has just gone below the minimum line. The manual was useless as to what type etc to put in. The coolant tub in the engine says G13 on it so I got G13 coolant. However this is green. I don't have a mechanical bone in my body but a lot of people say not to mix two colours, some seem to think it doesn't matter. So my question is has anyone topped up their coolant with a different colour and was there any issues? And what should I do put in this coolant or see if I can find a red coloured G13 type. Cheers
