Ok, the fix is simple. You call the dealer, tell them the VAG mobile guy says it needs a software update and you want it done ASAP. It is possible to do it yourself or, in fact, the mobile VAG guy could have done it. Pretty sure it tells you in the handbook how to do a software update but it is essential that the car is registered to you via the MySkoda app. Else the garage is the only option and It's harder for them to do if the car is not registered with Skoda and a primary user set. We get major updates on our Mk 8 Golf R software about annually and we are able to do them ourselves. It is a bit of a faff and you can't use the car while the update is being installed, but you would not be able to use the car if the garage has it. Now that you know this is a random software error you could buy a cheap plug in device to enable you to clear codes, just for get you home peace of mind.

This is a difficult process and needs somebody who knows exactly what they are doing. Key steps are: Making sure all the old filter comes out, this is messy and very messy if you need to fish out the plastic end. The filters are known to fall apart. Draining the oil from both of the drain plugs. Removing the internal oil level setting pipe which is inside the bigger of the 2 drain plugs. Refilling the box using a gravity feed with the bottle of filling oil above the level of the gearbox. Warming the gearbox up to about 37C to 40C and gently exercising it using the gear shift. Getting the excess oil back out to get the oil level right. Give it to the outfit you trust the most or ask whoever is going to do it what the steps are.

I think it's all been said. If the clearcoat and the paint are gone then it's about building the layers back up. If it's black or dark grey in the pit of the scratch then you are through to the plastic. So first a good clean and a wipe with alcohol. Then (cocktail stick is good used as a pen) some of the colour in the bottom of the scratch. Let that dry then apply some clearcoat. Build it up in layers slowly and don't do it on a damp day. If you let the last layer go slightly above the surroundings then you can polish it back once it's dry. (and I mean really dry.) If, as has been said, the scratch is white then it might polish out. TBH nowadays I get a mobile company like Chips Away in.

If you have Skoda warrantee still in place I think you can call out their mobile service. This is not an uncommon fault on VAG cars. Start - Stop is turned off automatically when this sort of fault occurs. Things you could try: Look under the bonnet to see if something has come loose or is chewed, rodent damage is often a culprit. Disconnect the car battery for 20 mins or so, (you can leave it on charge) and then re-connect. That sometimes clears the codes. Do not connect a code reader on a car under warrantee unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Becoming less impressed with Traffication. Sometimes reports possible speed camera sometimes does not report for the same fixed camera.

This sounds very positive. Let's hope that the dealer agrees that there is an issue.

The OP has said he turns lane assist off and has confirmed this already. Of course it is possible it's reactivating if travel assist has been activated.

One other thing to check might be the adjustable steering column. Try releasing it, moving it and then relocking it. Also check the fluid level. Else lets hope the dealer can fix it. Insist on going for a drive with the master tech and have him drive on a stretch of road where you feel the problem.

So is the issue speed related? You mention in your opening post that it happens at speed or on fast roads. These are exactly the sort of roads that suffer from tramlines. The other thing to check is that your tyre pressures are correct but I assume you'll have done this already. Skoda recommended pressures are quite high.

Are you sure you are not simply "fighting" the lane assist function? It does not like it if you change lanes without indication. It's not a turn off once thing you need to turn it off every time. The other suggestion that I have is tramlines on the motorway, there are bad in some places and can cause the effect you mention. If it's not this then try : Find an Engineer The category you require "Mechanical Failure" Since you made the report before your warrantee lapsed you should be fine unless the independent engineer does not find anything.

My information matches what @Kenny R said.

Yep, tried that but can't seem to get the data I want exactly where I want it. How odd that VAG group have different "settings" for what is basically the same infotainment system!

I can get that view, I'd like to put the driving data where the P is

As far as I know the ignition has to be on to start downloading the update. Once it's downloaded and ready then the car needs to be left parked while it installs. go to the home screen and make sure that the little world symbol is not grey and make sure you are not set on max privacy.

I like the driving info overview that you can have in the middle for it's completeness. It would be nice to put oil temp inside one of the dials. Most of the reason I asked is because our other car is a Mk 8 Golf R and you can configure the info in the l/h dial to show coolant, oil and gearbox temps. So it's a case of trying to make the display look the same when changing from one to the other. Not a big thing by any means, just a bit odd that you can get the oil temp to the right hand of the display in some views and not in others.

This does, indeed, provide all the information I'd like on the dash. If anybody know how to do it while maintaining the classic "2 dials" look I'd be grateful.

I don't think so. It seems most older apps are being replaced by the "My Skoda" app. Just after you get the car you will probably get a "free trial" of an app called Traffication. It is harmless but inconsistent.

Have you tried asking the dealer to make you the primary user via the Skoda app? This can sometimes be tricky if you are not the first owner due to the previous owner not fully de-registering themselves.

I'll use the Skoda nomenclature to describe the question. Is there any way to set the oil temperature so that it appears in area A of the virtual cockpit? don't care if it appears on the left or the right. Alternatively is there a way to make the driving data appear in area A so that I can choose to see the oil temp in the centre of the dash? Area A is the area inside the tachometer or inside the speedometer.

Quck post to say how good the quality of the front rubbers mats for the Kamiq are.

Yes an MVNO (the V stands for virtual). This means they don't own the mobile network they sell space on. If they sell too much space then their users get throttled first. They may also have agreed to speed caps on data. They don't tell customers any of this and it's poor IMHO that a big company like VAG does not deal direct with an MNO in each territory.

It is true that Audi adopted "you buy a SIM and we'll let you connect the car" fairly early and then to e-SIM pretty quickly but their charges to access data are pretty steep. Mind, one of the "benefits" when I got the Audi was that for the first 4 years of ownership they could not figure out how to charge for the traffic data so it was "free". Amazing to think that 15 or so years ago the only traffic data you had came via TMC and was pretty flakey!

I promise I'll stop now. I realize not everybody cares. MTZ-2023-01_Article.pdf

This might not work. part of my in-depth search for a solution to this problem on my Audi made it clear that the car can only get Audi Connect data via the SIM in the infotainment. I guess this is why most people use Apple Car Play or Android Auto nowadays. This is one area where all auto makers lag behind IMHO!

For sure when I wrote to Audi about this and asking them for a proposed solution they were totally uninterested or pretended not to understand the concern or blamed their data partners Cubic Telecom. (Yes, all three!) I tried in the aftermarket and there was no viable low cost solution. What I observed was that data connection became patchy but when it connected (I assume via the 2G network) it was a massively strong signal. ...but the updates to the NAV were v slow. If you were lucky on some journeys you got enough traffic info to make it useful, others you were back to the traffic bulletins. For clarity, in the UK Cubic does not run it's own mobile network in the UK, it buys space on one or more of the 4 actual MNO's network. As you can imagine this immediately puts it at a disadvantage in terms of service provision.
