Hi everyone, I'm planning to replace a plastic headrest guide on my 2024 Skoda Octavia IV (NX) with sports seats and integrated headrests. According to the official Skoda repair manual, the backrest upholstery and foam padding can be removed together as one complete unit by releasing the retaining strips at the bottom of the backrest. However, the manual also instructs you to remove the entire backrest from the seat frame first. Has anyone managed to remove the complete backrest upholstery and foam without separating the fabric from the foam and without removing the backrest from the seat base? I'm trying to avoid removing the approximately 23 upholstery hog rings, as I only need access to the headrest guide mechanism. Any experience, pictures or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Investigation all possible options, is there a MHEV Mild-Hybrid 1.5 driver without any clicking sound when pressing slightly the brake pedal??

Somebody news from the dealership or an idea what would help with this strange noise?

I also think that it has something to do with the regenerative braking system, but i am unsure what it is. I bought an used brake booster for the NX an teared it down to learn how it works.. But as i see there is nowhere a relay which can cause a click...

I have the same problem and its driving me crazy! Its not the brake pedal, i replaced all parts. I also doubt that its the brake booster.. when the car stands still and i hit the brake pedal with the engine is on no sound.. Try to put your car in "N" while driving and brake.. also no sound at all! So maybe there is a point with the MHEV System.

I dont think this is a relais or something like that. I am working on a solution and got a used BKV for testing at home, investigated the function and parts of the brake booster. The tests look promising, i well test my solution on my own car now.

@Dready I recorded mine.. is it similiar to your noise? Bremsenknarzen.m4a

@Dready Did Skoda actually tell you which relay or module it was? ABS/ESC, brake booster, Auto Hold or something else? Can you describe the sound? Was it a sharp electrical click or more like a creak (like an old sofa)?

Hi Dready, I have an 1.5 E-Tec DSG 2024. In my opinion its interesting that in my case its really loud, and other octavia driver dont have this noise. Does your noise only come when the car is running? When the engine is off mine doesnt make any sound.. It also not always.. just when i press lightly the brake pedal.. the first few millimeters.. for me its hard to make a soundfile cause it only comes when driving..

I know this is an old thread @Dready but i am also having these noises when pressing the brake pedal.. I already changed the pedal, pedalbox, everthing related to the brake pedalanf its still there.. Can you maybe reuoload your noisefile? Did you find a solution? Please.. the noise is driving me crazy

These noises are sometimes pain.. i am happy that our input helped you. Dont give up.. when its getting better you know youre coming close.. removing the console is for me now a 30 second job.. so no big deal anymore.. its a game.. try something.. put the console back in and drive and so on.. the sunglasses box can also be a source of rattle.. some felt tape where the button is and it closes tighter..

If the silicone effect is not that long try the skoda krytox spray or lubricant for cars for a much longer effect

So,yes you are right. Its also possible that the window switch trim is squeaking. For this case take the handle cover off an spray into these little holes. There are the clips of the window switch trims which are causing the noise..

i used it .. Volkswagen G052172M2 Spezial Gleitmittelspray 100ml

Check out the video, just clips. Very easy to take off, in my case it helped a lot to reduce the squeaking noise.
