Factory reset on your infotainment would be my first step

I have the older Mk4 Octavia, so unfortunately I can't help you. But I wanted to add that disappearing functions from the infotainment menu is a problem which is suffered in the Mk4 too. Skoda really need to invest in some decent software techs

There's coding available so that you can code your infotainment to recognise 2 phones at the same time, perhaps that would help with this issue too?

A bit of a journey, although not too far (I travelled further to see him) But I'd highly recommend giving @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits a shout. He can do everything we've talked about here, and much more.

@Tried5UserNames Where abouts are you based mate?

Look for an independent who specialises in VAG motors, there are some out there who can service your vehicle and update the service log just as the dealership would

I don't have that particular issue with things disappearing from the infotainment, but I did have one myself... It was the ability to switch Laura's voice from male to an actual female lol The setting appears very briefly in the relevant screen, but then quickly disappears for some reason. Took me a while to be quick enough to hit it before it went, but I did manage to change it I'm sure other options went too, although I'm unsure of which ones. Gotta love the bugs on these Skoda's....

I would definitely test your battery, just cos it should be ok doesn't necessarily mean it will be

Actually, I should have asked, how is your 12v battery health? A plethora of faults can quite often be caused by an under performing 12v battery

The front assist issue is caused by dirty or frozen sensors, happens on all versions of the Mk 4. Not sure about the others though, sounds like the 4.5 has gremlins just like the 4 did. Hopefully an owner with experience of these issues will see your thread 🫰🏻

This is the Octavia Mk 4 forum, you need to contact a mod and ask them to move this to the correct forum

on my mk 4 you can tell which sensor it is as the sound in car plays from the relevant speaker, so if it's back left that's where the sound comes from in the car etc. Mind that may only narrow it down to two sensors, not one, I'm unsure

You don't have ECO mode selected by any chance do you?

No warning light/s?

As far as I'm aware, the Skoda connect data is connected to you, and not the vehicle. If you weren't to reset your infotainment before you sold it, and the buyer didn't either when they bought it, then they'd probably benefit from it.
