I have Dunlop Sport Maxx as summer tires. I have not tried them yet, As I bought the car with winter tires on. Will be interesting. But when the summer tires wear out, I will change to some tires with maximum 69dB.

Is this with AC heater OFF?

Its a spin-off haha. But yes, I asked a question and that resulted in a discussion about tires. Its all good👍

I was driven Golf 7.5 before the Octavia. I agree. But what is the difference in driving them, according to you?

I will check my pressure in the tyres tomorrow. Just to eliminate any potential faults

My summer tires are Dunlop Sport Maxx RT. I just want to try them to see if there is any improvements. Not legally to drive with summer tires until 1th of April in Sweden. Maybe I will swap front and rear tires. I did however notice small cracks on the side of the winter tires today. They were produced 2019. Maybe they are just bad and worn tires, in terms of bad maintenance and storage. I hope thats the case.

Okay. Thats good. I would really want to know what quiet means in this case. I would not say I hear droning sound, maybe more road noise. Difficult to tell, its not that quiet, and I hate that. According to supplier spec, my tires have 71dB noise.

My kumho Kw31 winter tires are 205/55/R16. Which brand are yours? The car is not quiet in my opinion. Wheel bearing fault at this milage?

Based on the answers in this thread, I assume my Octavia behaves normal. The idle RPM and the higher engine sound seems to be normal. Im new to the Skoda world, and to be honest I dont feel so happy when driving the car, at the moment. I have Kumho KW31 winter tires on, without spikes. When driving the vehicle above 60 km/h, I hear road or engine noise. Sometimes more like resonance or humming noise, how should a Octavia sound in higher speeds? I know there is an individual aspect to take into consideration. Milage: 82k (kilometers)

Okay, thats good. The reason why Im wondering is compared to my Golf 7.5 1.5TSI, the Golf seems to drop more in RPM in generally during idle and makes the engine more quiet and harmonic, exemple during traffic. I feel like my Octavia engine is vibrating more...

When the AC is off, the RPM drops below 1000RPM. Maybe around 850-900 RPM

Yes, it does drop with the AC off. But I think its more accurate to have the AC on, when checking the idle RPM. Or?

"Its an hour of your dealers time on ODIS to get CP removed."

Really, 1 hour? Does the car lose all settings after this procedur?

Thanks for the replies! But whats the verdict, is dropping to 1000RPM normal in idle mode with the AC heating fan ON?

Yes, im talking about the heater fan. So when the Auto-Stop is enabled. Thats when the engine is in optimal conditions, pretty much?

Yes. 22.5 degrees. When I shut down the fan, the RPM does not drop below 1000RPM. I give it a veeeery smal rev, then it drops below 1000RPM.

I live in Sweden. At the moment + 5 celcius outside. I have a DSG box. The fan in ON when starting the vehicle, first its revving higher and then decreases to exakt 1000 RPM. If the fan is OFF it drops below 1000RPM (much more harmonic) I still feel its to high, beacuse the usage of AC is fundamental in the idle equation. I had a Golf 7.5 1.5TSI, even with the fan ON the RPM was below 1000RPM. The reason is that I feel like the engine is brumming a little to much. Campared to my Golf 7.5, my engine noise is high when sittning inside the vehicle. Yes, I aim for that. But If you have valuable input, go ahead.

How do I know when its re-gen?

Hi, my Octavia MK3, DSG has a idle RPM at 1000. How much does you Octavias idle when engine is cold and warm? Best Regards

So, even if I have acces to VCDS I cannot remove the Component Protection ?

Thanks for the reply! MMI: I have seen some youtube videos where the "Component Protection" is deactivated via a diagnostic tool, like Ross-Tech or VCDS. Is that what needs to be done? Possible to buy a diagnostic tool that could do these stuff, which one? Chrome rings: I solved the issue. They were just not in their correct position. They are perfect now. Plastic panel: I will pull it off, I feel that there should be some clips around the middle climate knob as well. BR

Hi, i have two issues: - MMI system goes into "Component Protection Active" sometimes. Previous owner got a new screen. Solution? - The Chrome rings around the climate control knob. Should it be easy to pull them off? - The plastic trim (glossy) around the climate trim is fixed on the sides, but around the middle knob, the plastic is flexible, like no clips there in the centre? Best Regards Johan
