Plastic cap missing for AC Gas Refill
Semzo replied to Semzo's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I will contact my local dealer to see what they will charge me for this, but since I am driving the past 1-2 years with very little invested in the car (it serves me well) I might treat it with a 17£ plastic cap. 😊 -

Amazing, thank you -

Does anyone know how to find the part number for this rather insignificant part? It is the plastic cap which is supposed to cover the ac refiller hose. Btw is there a site with an exploded view of parts for the MK3 Skoda Octavia, so that one could find the part number for these kind of things?

Thank you @varooom The update went smoothly and I am eagerly looking forward to the upcoming days to see if I can use my car without getting a jump scare every time I open a door -

The issue actually came back after a few days, although it's nowhere near as frequent, not as loud, and sounds like it is isolated to some of the front speakers. I am waiting for a firmware update file and hopefully it will fix the issue. To be continued. -

I am based in Stockholm so it could very well be the case. I really want to know, in case it returns and how to avoid that it ever does. Also I need closure 😂 -

I did a factory reset and the popping sound has magically disappeared completely. Let's see if it will stay that way, but in any way, that was quite unexpected. What could it be so that a factory reset fixed the issue? I also can't remember if the infotainment system is supposed to boot up when unlocking the car or when turning the ignition on. As per now after the factory reset, the infotainment system boots up when turning the ignition on, but if my memory isn't failing me I think that it used to boot when unlocking the car. Since it is working well now I would love to know what the issue was and what setting / software issue caused the popping sound. -

Nice, I will try and get hold of someone that can help me with that. Thanks for the help, and sorry for being slow at times. -

Come to think of it you are right. I will, as a first step, try and manually turn off the lights next time I leave the car. Regarding the diagnostic tool, I have went through fault codes with my obdeleven tool, and the VW workshop ran a full diagnosis without finding anything strange or remotely connected to anything that could cause this. -

Maybe I was not clear enough in my description. The sound is not necessarily depending on a door being opened. I have experienced the sound after unlocking it and while approaching the car (without opening the door). So this would actually also disregard any internal lights problem as well. However it is a bigger chance for the sound to occur if and when I open one of the doors, including the trunk. -

@Gerrycan Interesting thought, what would be an approach to determine if this is the case? Is there a fuse or something one could pull for the interior lights just to isolate and troubleshoot? This issue was not present when buying the car. Maybe 1 month after the purchase it started happening. -

@varooom Yes I would like the new firmware please, and thank you in advance. -

I had the car in for a different matter at a VW dealership and asked them to take a look at this issue since they were going to notice it anyway while handling the other matter (the sound comes frequently while the car is unlocked and doors are getting opened and closed). The guy told me they had never seen anything similar and running a diagnosis didn't tell them anything. The sound does appear to come from all speakers and is not isolated to the front. It's funny you should mention doing a firmware update since I was actually considering the following steps: Factory reset of the infotainment system (observe if it changes anything) Firmware upgrade if the factory reset doesn't do anything. How would I go about updating my system? Attaching a picture of the current version. -

Bumping this thread and adding some recording of said sound. If anyone can recognize it and what the problem could be. In this video I have unlocked the car and opened the door. That's it. VID20220827110439~2.mp4
