They've trimmed the older model maps from the updates.

3400€ including Vat Delivered from Europe. Sub 1000KM Not much choice out there, all around similar money, the lower the mileage the better. Looking at the failed engine, looks like it was either a spun bearing or oil deprivation. From perfect running to failed engine in less than 60KM. Only fully serviced 10k KM previously.

Following on from this drama. New engine purchased today.

So is it as simple as finding another DFHA Engine? Any insight is greatly appreciated 👍

Well, Diagnosis is in. Good guess J.R., but unfortunately for me, you were wrong. Fairy dust in the oil. Game over. On the hunt for a replacement engine now.

Didn't check. Heater was on but couldn't say if the Aircon was working. I'll try that.

Name that tune! Ok, strange one this morning. No fault codes, slightly hesitant at low revs going through the gears. At first I thought it was clutch slippage ( DQ381 AUTO ) But then rev'd it in neutral whilst coasting and knew straight away it wasn't the gearbox. Got to the garage, they could here me driving up the street and even came out to greet me ! Again, no fault codes, I thought it might be injectors , unplugged one at a time and tried the throttle a little. No descernable difference. 10K KM since service, didn't check the filter yet. Oil in the filler cap and dipstick looks ok. It sounds top end , but it's hard to hear over my crying 😭 Any thoughts?

Kit ordered, hopefully on the way soon. Hopefully VCDS will be successful doing a DCC Adaption! VCDS MQB DCC Adaption Method

Hi All, Just wanted to get everyone's confirmation that E10-79-012-04-22 is the correct kit for a 2020 Estate with DCC ? Just looking for that 25mm approx. drop.

If the specs match then you're fine.

That sounds pretty reasonable.

Go from Underneath. Much easier, I think.

Morning Fionn, Make sure you have the correct fault codes first! Removing the mcu is quite easy all you have to do is drain the oil, unbolt the front of the gearbox and drop out the cover and MCU. Split the 2 and send off PCB part. Watch a few YouTube videos first 😁

That is my understanding with the warranty. I don't expect any issues. The MCU is coded to your car so the exchange service would be a pain. The savings in getting it repaired this way has the downside of time taken to do the job and wait for the parts to be repaired.

The electric part of the MCU, basically the part that I sent is warranteed. They replaced both sensors. So far , no problems.

If you get your VIN decoded the build numbers will be shown.

Old school Vs New School thinking 😂

I'd imagine you'd need some kind of CANbus interface relay. Then you need to determine the control signal you wish to use to activate the LightBar An example

Would you have still gone down this route in hindsight? Or did you have a choice?

When I get a call inbound, irrespective of what's on the Dash Display,I get the option to answer the call using the thumb roller. Outbound is a different story.

To quickly and easily identify the issue you could purchase a stand alone GPS antenna with a Fakra (?) connector and connect this to your head unit. Bypassing the roof mounted unit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are unable to code a boot close with internal switch on facelift models using VCDS, OBD11 etc.

It depends on how the call is initiated. If the call comes in , the dash and the head unit displays the call. The call can usually be answered by pressing the RHS roller, or accepting the call on the screen. I'd the call is out going and it is initiated by the Skoda phone system, ie. Scrolling through contacts on the dash or SL selection via the Head unit phone book or call log. If the call is initiated outbound via Android Auto or LONG pressing the assistant button, activating Google Assistant, then the only way to hang up is press the head unit onscreen button... Leaving a big greasy finger print behind ! This is my experience... Yours may differ.

Technically not done to the car! Got the My Skoda App integrated with my Home assistant install. Now I can see all the information regarding the car much easier!

I think you need a newer version of VCDS and Cable. Your vehicle appears to be in transport mode too. Hard to tell, the cable might be reading the results incorrectly.
