Any one can get me a part number for the rear tail gate boot trim? Please

Called My Skoda you need to pray everytime you use it as its in the hands of the gods if it works or not. free for 1 yr then they charge you £36 for a yr.

Always starts up in battery mode and no way of changing this Lane assist always on need to turn it off everytime you drive the car skoda app is terrible and never works infotainment system slow

I have mine, ordered 22nd June 21 received 21st Jan 2022, its a nice car, annoying features it has, quite quick, great for tax for company users hence why I chose the Oct IV

I feel that it slows you down too much when coming behind a car, the distance is set to the least as well, maybe i am stubborn but i dont need something telling me how to drive. Normal cruise is much better. Only time i like it is in road works, set to 55 and let car infront determine the speed, however the distance is too far again and when another car goes in the gap it puts the brakes on to slow you down. its like its too safe, but only safe for you the driver of the car, i would hate to be the car behind with brake lights always going on etc.

Can't agree with you more, I have the IV as well and its like you have to set it up every time, Press mode, change to Hybrid and untick the tick box, then turn lane assist off, annoying as hell, dont get me started on Adaptive Cruise either as that's ****e. Mines a company car so I aint really bothered about MPG, so I just use it in engine mode - cheapest estate for tax with out going EV , I couldn't do my job with an EV as there would be too much time wasted charging.

How do you vent it? I fill it to the brim when on long journeys, only when I am departing

The OP is most welcome to make what ever decision he needs to do, I find it weird going from a Vag car to a Toyota, my guess is budget is the main reason, I looked at Toyotas when I was choosing my Company car, I took the Corolla Estate Hybrid for a 15 min test drive, that's all it took to turn it around and say no, it was slow, very very slow (compared to the Octy IV Hybrid, interior was basic and well Japanese. However good luck the OP as I get his pain with faults with the Skoda and cant blame him for moving on, I would of went BWM personally or Tesla (we have model Y and love it)

The app is the worst ever, free for one year... that annoys me as it works 50/50 % of the time and they want you to pay £36 for it, the Tesla app is free and far superior, I aint tight as we have a Model Y and a Skoda Octy iv hybrid and would happily pay £36 for the app if it was as good as the Tesla app. I paid for another year and then after 3 weeks asked for a refund and received it.

See ya!

Cheers Andy, Do you know of any one in the North East or Edinburgh that I could borrow and pay for use of ODB 11?

Yeah that's what I would do tbh, plus the None Hybrid VRS sits lower and looks really nice, My IV is nice, great to drive, very good at overtaking, needs lowering if it were my car but its a company car. MPG I aint really bothered about hence I cant answer the question 100% on what MPG does it do in the real world

Any one know if you can code out the Adaptive Cruise control? And just add the normal cruise? Lane assist to be turned off and as i have a hybrid to always start up in hybrid mode and not electric? what do i need to do this or can anyone help In the Durham Newcastle area?

I have the iv hybrid not the vrs, as a company car, now i dont use it how maybe you should, i.e keep the battery topped up and use hybrid mode all the time. When i do trips to edinburgh i will get 60 mpg when using the hybrid system and 45 when not. I dont hang around, so not an economy driver. Personally if it was down to me i would just get the full petrol version as its lighter and should offer better mpg - i think. For me it was all about tax, vrs was lot higher on the bik etc

Still rubbish tho, the long term one resets all the time, I would of wanted the data collected from the start 0000 miles ... What is also annoying is if you have the Hybrid you cant see how many battery miles you have done, just the total where as the Audi system allows you to see battery, engine and combined

On the subject of wheels, my car has the ROTARE wheels 17inch 205/55 R17 - 5E3 071 497C 8Z8 Any know if i can put bigger tyres on ? i.e 215 55 r17? or whats the biggest for this rim? Any suggestions please 🙂

Is there any way you can see how many miles you have done on petrol and then electric? I.e. 1000 miles on petrol and 50 miles on electric? I cant see it in any menus, my A3 Hybrid had it showing in the mileage menu...

Just had mine updated at Dealer yesterday, had a electronic coolant pump fitted under warranty, i asked them to update to 1896 as well, infotainment system works like it should of done from new, much faster and slicker

I had my car in for service on the 7th of june, i did ask to update it but when i picked it up and asked them if they had they said yes, i went to car and checked, went back to desk and advised still on 1804 they advised they had to book it in again, as its a company car and i do average 500 miles per week i just dont have the time to re book it in till the next service. have you a link to the download i could try it? thanks

Anyone know when the update will be avail OTA?

In the IV can you see how many miles you have done on Electric then Petrol? As in separate figures?

Its the same in my Hybrid, all ways defaults to Battery mode, so frustrating. You should be able to program 'your car' the way you want.

Had my car in for service, i asked them to update the software, they said they did but when i look its not on 1896, is there a download where i can do this? Cant be bothered (or i should say i dont have the time ) to take it back in as they had it for a 3 days fixing a head unit issue and ACC issues - these have been fixed.

Have to agree with most people the ACC is un useable, am sure it thinks its a left hand drive car.. Is there meant to be a major update? Mines a company car and dont have the time to take it in for checks etc, i will just log it when the service is due. 6 k miles in 10 weeks so wont be long

So the reason it does this, you have just started the engine from cold by flooring it on to the motorway, the engine was cold and now its running a heat cycle, getting it warm, etc etc. mine does the same however if your gentle and ease on the motorway you will use ev mode all the way.
