I’ve turned off biometric login and attempted to change my S-PIN. The system said I’d got it wrong so I had to reset it. The app then said I needed to re-register with the car console and gave me a code to enter to re-register Got in the car and went to registration. There was no option to re-register so I deleted the main user. Still no option to add a user! There were now no users for the car? Rebooted the console (long press on the ON/OFF button) The registration login appeared and I entered the code and I was accepted as the main user. Went back to the MySkoda phone app which indicated I had to be verified. Clicked on verify and accepted the conditions. App said I was verified. Not driven the car yet so have no idea if this has worked……I have a feeling it hasn’t.

The messages appear whenever I engage with the screen. So that’s when I first start the car. If I have to reverse then the reversing graphic appears and when I come out of reverse then the screen puts up the data message. It then appears at random points during the journey. I can’t remember registering using my car keys or entering a PIN. I did register using the MySkoda Apple Ap and in security it’s set to use Biometric ID instead of S-PIN

I could put up with it coming on when I start the car, but when I engage reverse?? I was recently a passenger in a friends Karoq- at no point did these messages appear. Checking the forum it does appear it’s not just happening to me. The only person who stopped the messages appearing was by selling the car

Yes I know that. I’ve set data to totally unrestricted and to share location. The problem is the messages keep appearing on the screen when I start the car, put it into reverse or at anytime the system feels like it. I just want the messages OFF

Has anyone got an answer to this? I have a new Scala and the entertainment system is constantly giving me this message and another about “data transfer” As soon as I engage reverse the screen is filled with one of these messages. There appears to be no way of stopping them

The reasoning of wanting some oil to top up if necessary is the same as being glad the Scala comes with a proper spare wheel: better to have what you don’t need, than to need what you don’t have. and in my experience there is a vast difference between what dealers should do and what they actually do

Delivered on a transporter with 6 miles on the clock. I can see engine components date stamped with March 2021 Must be VW 508 00

Only thing concerning me is that if the engine is filled with VW 504 00, will topping up with VW 508 00 be an issue?

Hi, thanks for the welcome and the very useful information. I've had an Octavia 1.4 TSI for 9 years but wanted something newer as I thought it likely it would be costing me major money soon. For the first time ever I'm trying leasing for 3 years. It was by far the cheapest way to drive a new car. No trade in allowed but Webuyanycar paid £1,000 more than a dealer trade-in when buying on PCP?? Financed direct from VWFS and supplied and delivered by a dealer 40 miles away from home. No intention of keeping it beyond 3 years as by then electric will be the default choice. No engine oil issues then. I thought it would be VW508 00 / 509 00 but the apparent amber colour makes it a bit confusing. Have you any recommendations for an oil that meets this specification? Thanks for the tip about checking the level when engine warm - I've always done it from cold.

It doesn’t but the manual says it will use oil in the running in period. And I always like to have some oil for topping up anyway. Why can’t they just put a label on the engine??

I have just purchased a Skoda Scala SE with the 1.0 litre TSI 110, 3 cylinder turbo engine. What is the correct engine oil to use for topping up my engine? Dealer doesn’t appear to know what the car was filled with at the factory. Manual says VW 504 or VW 508 can be used for a 0.5 litre top up if the correct oil is not available - but consult an expert! I believe 508 is the latest specification but it’s meant to be green. The oil I wiped off the dipstick looks the usual amber colour. Cheers
