Dsg box
Yeah, you're right, I am using paddle shifters only when I am in individual, but M means Manual for sure.

Octavia VRS iV Airbag light
Yes, I had the same problem once, I had to remove the lateral panel with the airbag switch. I did a full scan followed by a clear all ECU errors with OBDEleven and the issue was solved.

Update to Version 1969
Thanks all for this post and specially to @Giannis20 for sharing the file with the community ! Just upgraded without any issues.

Changing brake pads yourself
Very well detailed already. Not complex but depending on your hardware it will be more or less time consuming. From my side, make sure that you have VCDS or OBDEleven to release EPB. There are some videos detailing the change without releasing it but way better and faster via tool. And I would recommend you Liqui Molly 3077 as brake paste, top notch.

Infotainment System Restarting endlessly
I would do it a try, for sure. Not sure for the rest, but for me, after the lasts OTA updates 1941 version feels laggy when starting.

Travel assist retrofit
Just to be sure, I guess yes but: do you have properly set 2 steps authentication for SFD? Last time I had problems with CU03 for brakes and the issue was that, I do not know why but after the last app update authentication was not able to remember my credentials.

VRS Brake Upgrades
Yes yes, I do know, but this time my risk appetite is equal zero, you do not know who will check the car. Maybe next year, if I still own the car, I will go fo it.

VRS Brake Upgrades
Negative, in December I have to pass first TUV inspection and I want to have a clean sheet. Normally it's not a problem, but after reading a bit, seems that sometimes braided lines are marked as non stock part and therefore they put a fail. Maybe after the inspection I change them with a complete liquid brake flush.

VRS Brake Upgrades
And brakes done, finally I went for the Sport Coat Z instead Black Z, for the use of the car it was not worth paying for more performance that we are not going to use. For the time being, happy with the upgrade, but I had more expectations of having more hard brake pedal feeling at the first touch, but not.

Retrofit 13" Enyaq Display to Octavia Mk4
Complex I would say. Besides the software part ... screens are not plug and play, not sure if you would have room enough at the back of the screen inside the dashboard. Whilst the back side of the Octavia is flat, the Enyaq one is not, you have the flat surface where the connections are installed. Screenshot from the top of the screen.

Travel assist retrofit
I was talking about the virtual cockpit. It will depend on the hardware version of the virtual cockpit. If your Octavia is a recent one l, it will behave as in the video. For me, despite the fact of running in a older version of virtual cockpit, it's worth the investment.

Travel assist retrofit
Hi @Sque4ler, not in my case, I have the initial version of the virtual cockpit and it's not as powerful as that one from the video.

2024 facelift hopes and dreams
I think that you are right, you would need to do the combo. As @TheUltraRunner says, control unit in old versions is less powerful, depending on the resolution of the new head unit the response could be laggy; assuming that the new one is plug and play, of course (Wiring diagrams to be checked).

To be checked once all is properly released but ... do you think that the screen could be retrofitted?

Opinions on the fully black emblem
indeed, it's a different one, a bit bigger.

Opinions on the fully black emblem
Hi guys, just an update here from my side. I did it with the full set, letters and backplate and so far so good. I used that one: But it's impossible to use the screws and fixing plate, it doesn't sit properly on the grille and generates tension on the badge, impossible to keep it in place. So you remove the original badge carefully, specially on upper/lower part. Adhesive used in factory is powerful, in my case, part of the backplate was stick on the grille, bit of grinding with the Dremel was needed. Once grinded, I used 2 compound Loctite super glue and done.

Wow, really impressive, congrats! @s3bek for the wiring, if I am not mistaken, you have the wiring section on the wiring diagram, for connector A5 0.5 mm2 wire section.

Hi @Micky 32 Yes, they are. From my local tuner, stage 1 is +40 hp with +60 Nm torque.

Oil catch can
Hi @Bima, as far as I am aware, there are no plug and play catch cans yet. APR list their GEN 3 MQB compatible with the DNPA GEN 4 engine, but there are not, or at least I haven't been capable to find, feedback from people who installed one. For me, best objective feedback I've found so far is Charles' outcome after he installed one on his 2019 Golf: For me, it's not worth its price; however, what I do in a regular basis is adding Liquy Moly fuel injector cleaner (1971) to clean and prevent carbon deposits.

VRS Brake Upgrades
Well, normally I will do the upgrade somewhere in February, finally I will go for EBC redstuff + Zimmermann Black Z on both front and rear axis. While preparing the paperwork, I just spot something on the maintenance manual a bit ... excessive? It's stated that, when applying pressure on the brake fluid reservoir, manometer should sit on 0.2 MPa ... that's 29 PSI. When doing the brake bleed on my 335d I was never going above 18 PSI. What do you think?

Black dust on front wheels
Well … I've using it for quite a long time now and only to clean rims. Of course I am not using it every wash, but six months I would say it's excessive as a time period for that particular application. The average in my case I would say is 1,5 months and always respecting user manual, specially what's related to temperature and exposition to sun when applying. And so far so good, for both rims and brake calipers paint coating.
