Steaming bonnet. (VRS TSI)

You can get the RS view coded in the non RS models. Which displays exactly? Both ones on my pictures? -

You can check oil temp when you choose the RS cluster view or if you set temp readings (for oil, water and transmission) in the left or right gauge. -
It looks like there is no recall issued for my December 2020 RS TSI.

Infotainment System Restarting endlessly
TheUltraRunner replied to ScottS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I was told by my service partner that the car needs to be on the 1896 version in order to get the 1941 version over the air. If this is not the case, then 1896 version needs to be installed manually by the service partners first. -

Switching off Electrical Defaults

Good luck with your dealer. But I doubt they will be willing to do anything about it since they officially can't change settings which are not meant to be changed. -
Help Ending a Call via Steering wheel
TheUltraRunner replied to Novascape's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I have my car over 3 years now, I use phone in the car quite often and to me ending the call by pressing the button on the main touch screen is quicker and easier. -
Help Ending a Call via Steering wheel
TheUltraRunner replied to Novascape's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
As far as I know the VC layout and the infotainment system is not the same in the Kodiaq. Just pressing the roller wheel doesn't do anything in the Octi when you have an active call via BT. To cancel the call in Octi you need to press the right roller wheel (presumably you already have BT screen selected in the right VC dial), then press the right button and then cancel the call. -
Switching off Electrical Defaults

Lane assist can be coded to "remember last setting" setting with VCDS or OBDeleven or similar coding tools. But for start-stop there is no possibility to change the behavior with coding only. -
Hi, it needs to be coded with a coding tool like VCDS or OBDeleven. Then you get an extra setting in the car's menu where you can enable or disable audible confirmation when locking. It's one bip of the car horn.

Help Ending a Call via Steering wheel
TheUltraRunner replied to Novascape's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
If you have a phone connected via BT, then it's possible. But you need to have BT phone added in the VC. Indeed it's a 3 click step. If you have a phone connected via Apple Car play, then there is no possibility to end the call via steering wheel. -
Sometimes warning lights, caused by disassembling things in the car or changing accu, need a couple of drives to disappear.

There are a few ridges on the inside of the guard where the guard meets the bumper. I guess to maintain some distance betwwen the guard and the bumper. Some of the caused a mark in the pains. I think some of them actually wnt through the pains since you can see black plastic of the bumper. this year I shaved off all the ridges and applied a thin self adhesive foam from the top to the bottom of the guard. Will see in spring the outcome.
-
No major issues with installation. But I had some issues with the rear ones leaving marks on the bumper. Looks like the ridges on the guard have grinded of some paint. Not at all points, but just on some. Will try to find some pictures what I mean.

Imagine you have some kind of hyper car with ultra bad rear visibility.
-
Yeah, it's a personal preference. I had a sedan for 13 years without a rear wiper and have never missed it. The rear window was pretty clean for most of the time.
-
Congrats! Rear wiper delete was an option when specing the car. At least here in Slovenia.

Check this thread. A lot of useful information available. -
Black dust on front wheels
TheUltraRunner replied to LuxoviaRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I would also strongly recommend ceramic coating the car, wheels and windows to anyone who likes to have their car clean. It's soooo much easier to clean a car which has been ceramic coated compared to wax or anything else. -
Black dust on front wheels
TheUltraRunner replied to LuxoviaRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
@LuxoviaRS just pressure wash will have a little affect since brake dust is quite stubborn to remove if you don't have some kind of protection applied to the wheels (wax or ceramic coating). I would recommend using Koch Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner (or any similar quality product dedicated for washing wheels). You just spray it on, wait a few minutes and then pressure wash the wheels. It does an excellent job without needing to touch/scrub the wheels. https://www.koch-chemie.com/en/products/magic_wheel_cleaner -

Totally normal. And the car will tell you when you need to replace the pads. Pads have a wear sensor. -
Flashing Fuel and Temp Gauges
TheUltraRunner replied to matrix2020's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
@SiWaiting from my computer tech standpoint, don't fix it if it's not broken. In this case I wouldn't apply and updates it they are not necessary.
