You can scan for fault codes with climate control system just in case there’s anything lurking. Otherwise I would take it to an AC Specialist and get them to check the pressure of the system. May be that you have a pinhole in condenser or some other part of the system and the gas has escaped over the winter.

There’s a cable tie on the bundle of cables attaching it to the dash rail. You should be able to see it just above the fuse box if you pull glovebox right down. Be very careful when you snip it to not catch any of the wires. Also you may find the removal keys get stuck in. Look at the side of the radio and use a flat head screwdriver to press on the brass “spring” very hard at the end closest to the fascia and it should release the key.

For the sake of £30 might be worth a try, or if there is someone with a FL close to Suffolk I would be happy to plug in and have a look!

Not a clue. Mine is 2016. There are a whole list of options for a different controller. So maybe it depends on the part number of the controller you have.

Found a dark country lane to test them out. Very good. No issue with visibility. It’s a lot foggier than the photos make out! Pics are low beam, fog lights on and off.

Coded tailgate opening and closing for the key and inside button using CarScanner App. Also fitted the new pedals. Link further up this thread. Next month, Rear brake discs and pads and full service. Last two orders is some long nose pliers and a genuine Skoda Torx screwdriver for the tool kit. Then that’s it and time to just enjoy the car. Probably…

Detailed info for setting this with carscanner I have this obd module https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XGB4873 And a pro license for carscanner (£8) Set the mqb profile and connect. Bonnet has to be open and ignition on. Engine off. Select coding and service Then luggage compartment Then scroll to the bottom and choose tailgate dataset customisation Then click on choose other and select one of the superbliftback ones. Then set the parameters you want and choose apply. (The open/close from remote should be selected) You may need different settings if you have kessy or virtual pedal. I have seen on another page that you have to hard reset through the long coding options for it to apply but it worked fine for me without this. I have also noticed this evening that when you go back in to it it reverts to default rather than showing you your current settings.

also fitted the metal pedals tonight. Screw for the footrest was a pain to line up and the accelerator one doesn’t fit very well. But is on securely.

Not proper fog to warrant putting them on!

One for the long list maybe.

I’ll plug in a bit later and take some screenshots.

Managed to successfully code for boot closing from the interior button and on the key using CarScanner app.

if you have the menu mentioned above to save seat settings to the key, turn this off. This way the seat should stay where you have set it. If you move the seat and return it to the saved position, you will have to manually move it the last 1cm. But otherwise, between going in and out of the car, it should stay where you have set it, but only if it is NOT linked to the key. This is because every time you unlock with the key it moves to the saved position, doesnt like the extreme setting so moves 1cm away from your desired position. If you disconnect it from the key, it doesnt try to reset its position every time you unlock the car.

Ha ha, 99% of the time I am in the car on my own so not really required. Might be nice to look at doing once the kids are out of child seats.

Not a clue, but its likely to be sensor if OBD11 says it is. You could try swapping the front left sensor for the front right sensor and see if the error moves with it. If it does, then its definitely the sensor. The sensors are relatively easy to replace.

Yes, under the steering column on the right, you have to remove the storage compartment. On a RHD car that is. LHD is similar location but attached to the fuse box.

Repaired the rear vent sliders today using parts from AliExpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ez54g1O Slightly more brushed than bright chrome surround but they don’t look too out of place and work well. You have to fully dismantle the unit to be able to slot everything in. All done in about 10 minutes.

That splitter is nice. Where is it from? Mine is pre-FL but I like the look of the maxton type splitters. How would the rs4 wheels look on the new bus?

Also to mention on here, I have now solved the DAB issue. I reconnected the OEM aerial and found that when my phone was charging, the DAB didnt work, but with it disconnected, it did work. Traced the issue to the cheap USB adaptors from AliExpress. Replaced them both with these from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BS3TPC6B DAB now working fully. They are not quite as low profile as the previous ones but the rear ashtray and the front sliding cover still just about close without issue.

Auxito LED reversing and indicator bulbs now installed. Much brighter and clearer. Another simple but effective upgrade. Difficult to photograph but hopefully the difference is visible. It certainly is in person.

for mats I got some from Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FP5WPKVL They are pretty decent for the price. On the website that @Gammylegrecommended you can choose more customisation and quality levels. I’ve bought some from there for a previous car and they are good too.
