  1. try that, I’ve not done it myself and that’s on an octavia but I doubt it’s different im not sure if that resets it for another year or two if your car is on the long service setting
  2. I had the same today but I done exactly 3000 since last year 😬 3 of my holidays would have been half of that too, who says you shouldn’t get a diesel if you do low mileage 😂
  3. What is it you don’t like about ACC just out of interest? The only thing that I don’t like is when you pull out to overtake it takes a while to pick up speed. In the driver mode you can customise “normal” to have the ACC as Sport, but I always forget to try it out whenever I go on the motorway. So if your reason for not liking it is that give that a try, unless someone else on here has theirs set to Sport and can confirm or deny whether that resolves the sluggishness
  4. I’m not sure what kind of tech that is, but I had the same on my brand new LG oled tv but that magically disappeared after a few weeks. If that screen is lcd it probably won’t go sadly
  5. I’d start by putting the car on axle stands then remove the plastic under shield then look from below as surely it’ll travel to the rear of the car
  6. Way too much rear bumper, looks quite horrible if that’s how it’ll end up looking
  7. My car is in for a service and mot next week so I can ask them then if I don’t have any luck with the chat, which I didn’t know existed so cheers for that 👍
  8. Oh that’s good to know, but I’d have to spend money on getting Erwin for an hour to get my build sheet doh. I’ll go on the basis that it may or may not have it and will find out when I remove it. If it doesn’t and it’s not that much of a chore removing the panels I’ll add it at a later date thanks all
  9. It is labelled as “noise insulation” When I had the asymmetric 6’s installed the cars near silent but I’m still thinking if I could get it quieter, not that’s it’s an issue. I’ll see if I can remember to update this when I work out whether to get Osram night breaker lasers or Osram cool blue intense next gen. Be alright if it was £50 for a set of bulbs and I made the wrong decision but it’s double that and more 😞
  10. Yours is L&K right? I wonder if it’s 1st and 2nd class kind of thing 😂
  11. Yeah I found the part numbers in ETKA (3v0 805..) only a couple of quid but someone’s comment was his Sportline didn’t have the foam bits. I was thinking when I’ve got the wheel archers off I may aswell fit them there and then if missing, but would be good to know if it’s not there as I can get them ordered because it’ll come from factory no doubt
  12. Hey up, I’m still procrastinating about changing my xenon bulbs. There’s a picture/video showing how to do it and I noticed that on his car he has foam which I guess is sound deadening. On the same video someone said their Sportline didn’t have it, but is it on SE-L as standard? The video for reference
  13. I suspect we might see it at this years Tour De Bore/France. I believe the kodiaq had a sneak peak years ago at the same event
  14. Hang on, I’m not sure if everyone is getting confused. According to the picture varoom posted which is the official workshop manual the belt has to be changed every 120000km. Every 210000km is just for the pulley
  15. It is a bit of a mess for the times to change it. UK it’s time based, everywhere else pretty much 130k miles. Mine is beyond due as it’s 2016 reg, but holding off for now because of cost reasons and I averagely do about 4k miles a year, but I do know the water pump is somewhat a weak point and new pump is a different revision so better? Is there a replacement time for water pump like every 5 years, and UK interrupted that as pump and belt every 5 years? As you’d be a bit mad not to do both at the same time
  16. When the radio mutes use your volume scroll wheel on your steering wheel and increase the volume as it sounds like it’s set low. I use the built in satnav and that’s how you can increase the sound, rather than in the menus. It’s worth a shot
  17. I’m pretty sure on my 2016 it’s meant to be automatic based on GPS location so I’d expect it to be the same (but I do have the on/off option), but then it can’t even sort the time change to +-1 hour even though it’s on automatic.
  18. Don’t the miserable MOT testers put down “plastics obscuring parts” nonsense aswell 😂
  19. It’ll only be the bog standard one, I’ll never have an extended scope done with me paying as that’s a bit of a joke. I mean £185 or so for oil and inspection is high enough, but knowing if a diagnostic is really added in makes it more understandable. I’ll have a look at my previous documents to see if it mentions diagnostics, I’m just curious to know if my air quality sensor is working or not I guess they will scan it as they have to plug it in to reset the oil counter anyway
  20. Hey up, I’m due a service and I was looking on the Skoda website which says a diagnostic check is completed, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a diagnostic report printed out and given back to me as paperwork. Should they?
  21. I’ve got the 6 speed, unless it’s different on 7 speeds. When I leave my house, just before the junction I begin to let off the accelerator the cars already slowing down and barely need to press the brakes If I do the same thing with eco on and coming to a slow stop I’ve already been applying he brakes for a good 5 seconds. If I do that for the rest of my journey by the end my discs look brand new again
  22. If you’ve got a DSG it’ll use engine braking or DSG holds the revs (not 100% sure) but when you put the car into eco it does a lot of coasting, so when you apply the brakes you need to hold down for longer, which then clears the crap off the rear a lot better. I make it a habit to engage eco at least once a month just to clear the brakes up. so basically with eco on, you’ll be coasting more and able to apply the brakes for longer
  23. If you have DSG, put the car into eco mode and it’ll bring the rears to life. I had my rear disks changed to brembos because of the padding but OE pads done by my local Skoda dealer
  24. The correct lifting on a 4 post is the sills believe it or not
  25. I’d be more inclined to change the battery if you use it every day and still got the warnings. I started my car the other day and got the 12 low charge by driving, warning but I expected that as it was very cold and don’t think I used my car for a few weeks. When I saw that messaged I drove a long route and near the destination I enabled stop/start and it worked fine
