  1. Just a word of warning, never lubricate or degrease boot struts, you can lubricate the ball joints and clean the rod of dust and dirt, but never grease or oil the struts. You can destroy their ability to hold up you rear door in seconds.
  2. Hi All Not sure if this will be of use to anyone, but I have copied this courtesy of Mr-Fix on Youtube. Below are the current model numbers of the various Infotainment units in the VW group. Admins please remove if I have duplicated a previous post, but it might be useful to have a pinned post updated as new models are released. 3G0 035 021 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3G0 035 043 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3G0 035 045 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3Q0 035 043 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3Q0 035 824 C - MIB2 VW Composition Media 3Q0 035 819 - MIB2 VW Composition Media 3Q0 035 846 - MIB2 VW Discover Media (MQB) 3Q0 035 864 - MIB2.5 VW Discover Media (MQB) 3Q0 035 874 - MIB2 VW Discover Media (MQB) 3V0 035 020 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 021 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 043 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 045 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 046 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 5C0 035 680 - MIB2 VW Discover Media (PQ) 5E0 035 020 - MIB1 Skoda Columbus 5G0 035 020 - MIB1 VW Discover Pro (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 043 - MIB1 VW Discover Pro (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 819 - MIB1 VW Composition Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 844 - MIB1 VW Composition Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 846 - MIB1 VW Discover Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 858 - MIB1 VW Discover Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 864 - MIB1 VW Discover Media (Golf MK7) 5NA 035 022 - MIB2.5 VW Discover Pro 5NA 035 043 - MIB2.5 VW Discover Pro 5Q0 035 874 - MIB2 Skoda Amundsen 5Q0 035 864 - MIB2 Skoda Amundsen
  3. Thought this might be of interest. Copied from Mr-Fix on Youtube. The B/C apparently is just the release software version, but it appears yours are mine are both MIB2 3G0 035 021 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3G0 035 043 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3G0 035 045 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3Q0 035 043 - MIB2 VW Discover Pro 3Q0 035 824 C - MIB2 VW Composition Media 3Q0 035 819 - MIB2 VW Composition Media 3Q0 035 846 - MIB2 VW Discover Media (MQB) 3Q0 035 864 - MIB2.5 VW Discover Media (MQB) 3Q0 035 874 - MIB2 VW Discover Media (MQB) 3V0 035 020 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 021 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 043 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 045 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 3V0 035 046 - MIB2 Skoda Columbus 5C0 035 680 - MIB2 VW Discover Media (PQ) 5E0 035 020 - MIB1 Skoda Columbus 5G0 035 020 - MIB1 VW Discover Pro (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 043 - MIB1 VW Discover Pro (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 819 - MIB1 VW Composition Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 844 - MIB1 VW Composition Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 846 - MIB1 VW Discover Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 858 - MIB1 VW Discover Media (Golf MK7) 5G0 035 864 - MIB1 VW Discover Media (Golf MK7) 5NA 035 022 - MIB2.5 VW Discover Pro 5NA 035 043 - MIB2.5 VW Discover Pro 5Q0 035 874 - MIB2 Skoda Amundsen 5Q0 035 864 - MIB2 Skoda Amundsen
  4. Yes it’s annoying as it has been working before Christmas, so not sure what changed. I’ll update and check back here soon. As a matter of interest what version firmware is on your Amunsden.
  5. Thanks for the photos. I can scroll between pages without a problem and I can see the mySkoda App. I tried tonight following your sequence. CarPlay loads without issue. I have the mySkoda App open on my phone but when I try to open the MySkoda app on CarPlay I get the MySkoda Error "Your Vehicle does not support SmartLink+ features". Oddly though I was able to log a journey in the app on my phone.
  6. Any chance you can post a video of that icon and what happens when you scroll across, not sure I can do that but will check.
  7. Ok thanks for the prompt reply. The Grey Skoda icon used to work and gave me some vehicle stats like acceleration, G force, Braking Force etc. Not been able to open that for a while. The Green Skoda App (MySkoda) yep OK will try your sequence. Do you have the grey Skoda Icon.
  8. It didn't work. Had the app open. Connected my iPhone, opened the Skoda Icon (Grey) selected device and it closed. Open mySkoda on CarPlay and it tells me my vehicle doesn't support SmartLink+ IMG_7338.mov
  9. OK will give it a try, I presume you mean the new MySkoda App. I'm running iPhone 12 iOS14.
  10. Cant fault my Amunsden unit. Volume is loud, very loud and the sound control is spot on, great base. DAB is clear and SD media is great. In the last 10 years I’ve had 3 Ford’s, a Quashqi, and a Honda Civic and the audio in my Octavia SEL tops the lot.
  11. Didn’t think the interior lights were monitored hence the ability to replace without tweaking the settings.
  12. Do the Osram and the cheaper LEDs fade correctly on the cabin lights. I understand the boot lights just go off, but need to fade for the others.
  13. Ok I have a 67 plate SEL with LEDs all round as standard apart from the interior lighting so will give these a go.
  14. Just seen your post and interested in doing the same, but a few reviews mention flickering after a short time. Let us know how you get on with these. When did you install them.
  15. Just treated all of mine and my wife’s car with silicon spray wiped over the rubbers, both on the door and the body if you have both. No more sticking/freezing seals.
  16. Hardly safe to keep quiet about it. The risks are huge. Imagine 2 or bikes falling off on the motorway. Even though they have advertised roof bars which have since been removed from the sales blurb, the took the trouble to mention it in the user manual.
  17. Apparently the new MG 5 EV's roof rails are for decorative purposes only. I mean, who designs roof rails in to a car and they cannot be used as err, roof rails. The manufacturer has removed all references to bike racks and roof bars on the new EV. Page 62 of their manual says the roof rails are not capable of carrying a load. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-9154981/MG5-EVs-225-roof-rails-decoration-not-safe-carry-weight.html Small print right at the bottom. https://mg.co.uk/files/2020-12-50/mg5-accessoires-brochure-a5-4pp-v2-web.pdf
  18. Misting is normal for LED lights as there isn't enough heat to dry out moisture. There shouldn't be water droplets unless the moisture has gathered into droplets. There is reference to this in the manual for cars with LED lights.
  19. Is it hill hold being over zealous. Maybe that needs adjusting if it can be.
  20. Already do that. I have a 128GB SD card with all my music and the icons stored in a folder. Makes no difference.
  21. Yes an annoyance. Wonder if the latest firmware fixes the issue.
  22. When I first had my car a few weeks ago this app worked fine. Apple CarPlay loads each time without issue but the Skoda App in CarPlay no longer loads. It tells me what available devices there are which is my iphone12 but when I select it it crashes back to the CarPlay screen. I’ve done a hard reset also forgotten car from my iPhone but still cannot get this app to load. 67plate SEL with Amunsden Infotainment.
  23. The double click of the key fob is throwing me. Just swapped a 62 plate Honda Civic that required a double click of the fob to deadlock the car, so need to forget this on the Occty otherwise I disable the dead locking each time.
