I've forced DPF regen several times since, I'm not sure it's helping. Is it possible that it's just taking a long time to burn all the crud out from the system, and it might fix itself in some KMs? I've done at leat 2k km since this happened.

This makes sense to me, the car runs just fine minus the stink... I'll give this mechanic another shot at fixing it.

Hi all, so in February I had a very unfortunate event, I grabbed the wrong pump at the gas station and filled my car up with petrol instead of diesel, I put in a good 50l. It started running very badly after like 1km, but I live quite close so I went max 4km like this in total. When I got home I realized what happened. There was heavy smoke coming out thru the rear wheels and smell of burnt plastic. I got the car towed to the service and it was cleaned, they replaced the diesel filter but nothing more. After this I started getting DPF regen error. I have VCDS and I saw one sensor on it was giving odd readings. I changed it myself and the DPF regen error was gone. I also noticed it has ash deposit of 55g and I coincidentally saw this product, so I sprayed a bottle of it into the DPF where the front sensor goes. I am not a smart man: After a few hundred KMs I started getting this error and the check engine light came on. I cleared it many times but it always comes back. The car now smells like an absolute dumpster when running, and I can sometimes smell it in the car on the highway, with the windows up. I had a 400km trip yesterday and could smell it occasionally, got a really bad headache and nausea by the end. I explained everything to the mechanic I go to, he just erased the error again and said it's alright. I'm super sure it's not.

I ended up buying a new one from that UK store. The guy from the german ebay didn't want to ship it here. Thanks all!

I'm trying to go for the first one(for Rapid), still waiting on the seller to ship it

many thanks!

By the way, is it not the exact same thing as this one?? https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/original-vw-golf4-oris-1j9803882-ahk-anhaengerkupplung/2126247173-223-4521?simcid=a9698c8d-63ae-4ccd-b46a-4226c1681b33

Thanks for all the super helpful replies so far! I was away for work and forgot to check back in. 300e is definitely super overkill for this... If possible I'd definitely try to pinch something up cheaper. I checked local junkyards and they don't have any Occy 3 Scouts, they said it's still too new to get to those places. If the one Ruben linked works for me, I'd try to risk it and buy that one. NZ100 are you fairly sure it looks the same? If yeah I'll hit the button :D

Hi all! I have an Octavia 3 Scout from 2015 which I bought used in Czechia. I didn't know or need a towbar until now, and I didn't know this car is equipped with one, but apparently it is. The problem is that the towing ball appears to be missing, I can't find it anywhere in the trunk. I went to an official Skoda service in Prague and they told me the part nr for it is 5E9 803 902 A, but they don't have it. I tried to look for it online, but I can't find any sellers by the part nr. I'm attaching some pictures of the system. I'd really appreciate some advice on where I could find one. Thanks!!

Hi folks, I've been lurking here for some time but it's finally time to ask something. I have an Octavia 2 Scout from 2011 with Xenon headlights, the cornering lights have stopped working and VCDS gives the below info: Additional Info: 7L6941329B AFS-Lst.-Modul l 0004 7L6941329B AFS-Lst.-Modul r 5 Faults Found: 00496 - Sensor for Vehicle Leveling; Front 010 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101010 Fault Priority: 3 Fault Frequency: 254 Reset counter: 230 Mileage: 347976 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2016.05.17 Time: 16:04:18 Freeze Frame: Voltage: 14.20 V Speed: 57.2 km/h ABS 1 00496 - Sensor for Vehicle Leveling; Front 007 - Short to Ground - MIL ON Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101010 Fault Priority: 3 Fault Frequency: 254 Reset counter: 230 Mileage: 347976 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2016.05.17 Time: 16:04:18 Freeze Frame: Voltage: 14.20 V Speed: 57.2 km/h ABS 1 0004VCDS Diagnostic Trouble Code Report Control Module Part Number: 5M0 907 357 C Page 2 01537 - Vehicle Level Sensor; Supply Voltage 008 - Implausible Signal - MIL ON Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 11101000 Fault Priority: 3 Fault Frequency: 102 Reset counter: 191 Mileage: 360632 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2016.06.17 Time: 17:23:46 Freeze Frame: Voltage: 11.64 V Speed: 0.0 km/h ABS 1 00497 - Sensor for Vehicle Leveling; Rear 010 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101010 Fault Priority: 3 Fault Frequency: 77 Reset counter: 231 Time Indication: 0 Freeze Frame: Voltage: 10.08 V Speed: 0.0 km/h ABS 1 00497 - Sensor for Vehicle Leveling; Rear 007 - Short to Ground - MIL ON Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101010 Fault Priority: 3 Fault Frequency: 77 Reset counter: 231 Time Indication: 0 Freeze Frame: Voltage: 10.08 V Speed: 0.0 km/h ABS 1 Now, since the Xenon lights were changed awhile ago, I've noticed that there's moisture getting into the left headlight. I'm wondering if I really do have to replace all those sensors, or if it's just the AFS module in the headlight that I need to replace? Thanks for any advice!
