How do you compare the ride quality between thr B4s and standard shocks? Would you say the swaying is reduced?

Nope, the Koni Finder has the lower powered versions of Octavia as well, and they list the rear shocks 828245-1326 for Twist Beam Axle.

That's true in a conventional sense. However, the special actives have more complex valving, allowing them to soak up potholes better, whilst also resisting slower frequency movement, like cornering sway, speed bumps and slow undulations. And, in that sense, more comfortable might also mean less wallowy feel at slower speeds, which is something that I think the standard suspension is portraying.

I'm interested if anyone installed Koni SA on the Octavia MK4. It seems like a sportier shock, which should also offer comfier ride over sharper bumps.

This means I'd need to visit dealer or other ODIS technician to ask for SwAP activation? Also is there a real noticeable difference using the mode selection?

Is there an option to code the mode select option to pre-FL Octavia MK4 with 1.5 TSI engine? There isn't a button, obviously, since the equipment wasn't selected at purchase. However, AFAIK, you can select and customize the driving mode through the infotainment as well. Also, does the mode selection actually bring any noticeable effect on the engine responsiveness and steering feel? Thanks!

I'd say the quoted symptom points me to the direction that the sensor ring was damaged. I'd check the sensor ring. If it's damaged, I'd stick the old ABS sensor back and replace the hub. If the ring is fine, then the problem is obviously somewhere else.

You have probably misdiagnosed the issue. The Octavia mk4 has know issue with ABS sensor rings disintegrating on the rear wheel hubs. So check the integrity of the ABS ring.

There are a few people on this forum that have cleaned the touch sensitive slider and power button, rectifying the issue without changing the whole screen.

I have no experience in that and don't think it can be done.

Check for a protective film, but be aware not to scratch the real screen, as it might seem like there's a protective film but there isn't. The original screen is matte. If unsure, send close-up images of the screen and its borders. Edit: In my view, volume control and power-on/off issues are of different source, since those controls both live on under the screen on a separate bezel, not on it.

Your problem sounds like hardware related issue with the touchscreen, probably related to humidity. Maybe it registers a ghost input in the "menu" area? Try cleaning it more thoroughly, using microfiber cloth and screen cleaner, especially around the edges.

I've updated it yesterday to 1989 through OTA. Hadn't had any issues with it as of yet. H61, early 2024 build.

Do you have experience with a pre-facelift one? If not, I guess the systems are not that different between the versions. Info for pre-facelift MK4. Yes, AEB works on manuals. It does stop the car completely except if you intervene - input throttle, or the danger disappears. Stalling the engine is the last thing to worry about in those circumstances I think. I have had only one erroneous activation of the AEB in 2 years owning and I didn't let the car stop fully. Otherwise, the system is pretty forgiving and doesn't alert you too often. I've had experience with Suzuki, Hyundai and VW & Skoda AEB cars. The VW & Skoda are the least panicky and alert you later than the others. I hope this helps!

The suspension is indeed quite soft from factory, so maybe look at upgrade paths, like Bilstein B6.
