It's happened twice today, rebooting information seems to fix it, so it seems to be a car thing, not Octopus.

Do you ever get the false 'not plugged in when it is issue?

I have the same set up. It works about 75% of the time. However, sometimes it fails to charge altogether. Others (like now), Octopus says the car is not plugged in at home when it is. Has been like this for the 6 months I've owned the car. I suspect it's an issue with the car, not Octopus. Does it work faultlessly for you?

That's interesting, thanks. Apparently the early version of the MK4 Superb manual mentioned scheduling, and the 'Immediate charging to 80%' button only makes sense if scheduling was available.

Hi all, an update on this issue. I received the below response today from [email protected]: "Regarding the Škoda Superb IV plug-in hybrid, currently the Departure Planner function is not listed as available for this model. Licensing and availability of this feature may vary, and at present there is no official information indicating that it can be added via a software update to the Superb IV. We understand that updates have been released by VW and Seat/Cupra for similar PHEV platforms; however, Škoda’s offerings and update paths may differ. Please be assure that your request for the inclusion of this function has been forwarded to our development team for future consideration." In other words, we could do it, but we might not. An email to this address raising the issue might help?

Hi all. Apparently Seat/Cupra and VW have released a software update that installs a charge scheduling function to the latest generation PHEVs. Skoda UK have referred me to a dealer to check whether Skoda can do this. Has anyone got any news?

Progressive has only 2 turns lock to lock, so it's quicker. Doesn't make a massive difference in real world driving.

Wheel alignment was a long way out, may explain tyre wear. Replaced with Goodyear Eagle F1, will see how they get on.

Thanks. BTW, how are your tyres wearing? My front Pirellis are under 2mm at 13,500 miles.

Hi. Are the fixed or can the variable system be used? Were fixed on the Octavia and Golf PHEV with the 1.4 engine, wondering whether that's changed. Thanks

Yes. Happens about every 10th start, only after starting the car. Feels like a missed gear change. Have just turned auto hold off to see whether it's related. Passat b9 PHEV seems to suffer as well. Not raised with dealer yet.

Mine malfunctioned while clean and dry. Suspect it was a software glitch.

I switched off the lock while approaching and walking away feature, next time a tried the pedal it worked as it should. I switched the lock when walking away function back on and it still works. May or may not be connected, who knows?

Had the car for a month. It took a few days to get the hang of operating the virtual pedal, but I cracked it and it opened and closed every time, but this morning it's stopped working. Option remains ticked and key is within range. Reset of infotainment didn't work. Any suggestions?
