For a set of 4, you would be looking between £1000-2000 depending on where and what you get.

Yeah, but im also looking at retrofitting the variable boot floor so will hide it! Current list of parts and jobs on order for retrofitting in the near future: Heated washer jets Heated steering wheel TV Tuner DCC Variable boot floor Webasto parking heater Ventilated/cooled sportline seats Wireless charger/booster Electronic rear child locks Should be a decent enough list to keep me going for a while....

Anyone that’s looking to do this retrofit any time soon: I will shortly have a set of DSG steering wheel controls for sale - 3V0 919 719 F if anyone is interested in buying them.

So the complaint is the brake pedal is too good? Sounds more like you had an air bubble or other fault causing a long pedal and you have got used to that. Now it’s actually fixed you need to be more gentle with the pedal and use less effort to achieve the same level of braking

C3 is completely wrong for this car and needs to come out immediately. Using the wrong oil causes higher ash production and the DPF to block up much quicker. Youre correct that the only suitable castrol oil is edge LL.

Only went and scratched my wheel to pieces on a silly width restriction! Won’t be repairable to a good enough standard for me. instead I’ve ordered a new wheel and tyre, will polish this damaged one up by hand and it can be the new spare wheel.

You can get a febi kit for roughly £100 on autodoc. Or genuine filter and oil is about £200.

Very common doing this for some reason. It resets the abs coding to all 0’s a lot of people make the mistake of no backup and then they are screwed

Any fault codes? Has anyone looked at live data to see what is stopping it? Were the new struts calibrated? does the latch operate correctly?

I don’t say so, all the people on the forum that have fitted them and complained it shorts out their linbus network say so…

The AliExpress ones are terrible and often cause more problems with the LINbus network. a new genuine one can be had for around £75 so I’d recommend that.

If it’s en estate - it’s a pain in the ass to get out and replace/clean. If its the hatchback - just replace the nozzle, they’re cheap enough on eBay, cleaning it only lasts for a short amount of time

In all fairness, you arent missing out on much. It hardly understands what you are saying and what it can do is very limited also.

If you go into the settings section and under adaptive cruise control there will be certain settings to turn off the adjust to road and adjust to signs

Don’t use the one click functions, they cause nothing but problems as you don’t know what they do exactly

Hi there, A more descriptive thread title would help entice others to help you. It would also help future people searching for the same thing. Something like "Coding required to enable fog lights when using high beam" Just so you are aware, fog lights have an extremely short range so kind of defeats the point of high beam? But if you still want to go ahead with it, you need to research Leuchte channels (lots of write ups for them). Find the 2 channels for fog lights and add an activator for high beam and set the brightness to 100.

Your canbus wires are incorrect, you want pin 6 and pin 12, not 6 and 6. Once its fitted it can be coded with obd11 but you will be left with fault codes for no calibration. This can only be done with the correct target board and odis.

Devils advocate here, but its not been caught with a nasty ice scraper has it?

There will be a reason for it and it just takes someone doing a proper diagnosis to discover it. If something picked up off the road and damaged it, you’d expect undertray damage or some kind of impact damage to the gearbox or tray. Has anyone checked for it. even if something did hit it from the road, you’ll never prove it and the council would never pay for it. you’re on your own with this one, Skoda won’t be paying a penny and neither will the council, nor your insurer or anyone but yourself sadly. What did they actually do to diagnose the problem and did you get any photos?

Did you turn on byte 1 bit 0?

You’ll have to go under the car also. The fluid needs draining from the bottom also.

You are all assuming that it’s an internal failure caused by lack of servicing. Rather than the failure being ‘total failure’ I’d be asking what specifically has failed. Has a boulder came up and smashed the gearbox causing it to loose fluid, had a bearing failed, has the pump failed? There are these and so many more cause of failure and all the speculation without a true confirmed cause won’t help anyone. (Unless I’ve missed a stated reason for failure among all this)

From my understanding on the superb it is double sided taped down and the rest tucks just under the plenum chamber

Yes it can be done in the car but it’s fiddly to get the main cover off. The point of these kits is no need to remove the mech unit. I believe there are quite a few videos on YouTube to demonstrate how it’s done

Run the new module routine which will copy everything including mileage. it will also start the immo service routine to code the keys to it. after this coding must be manually done with vcds or odis-e
