Octawia

I'm wondering if when the car is regenerative braking (when you lift your foot off the accelerator it starts braking), does it mimic normal braking, such as lighting up the brake lights at the rear? Also, is it possible to turn it off? :)

Does it download the software itself? Or does it software need to be downloaded first from somewhere?

Hi, couple of weeks ago I was on a long road trip with my 1.4 TSI PHEV, I messed around with the dashboard and somehow managed to set the reserve charge level to 100%. So, now every time I charge the car, it charges to 100%. As my trip is over, I'm trying to set it back so that it only charges 90% and saves 10% to reserve, but I have forgotten where the setting was. I would be very grateful if you could guide me.

Hello, I did say that I had already deselected that option.

Retro fitting new cars with towbars is a real torture and a mess, as you, not only need to weld the towbar to the chassis, but also carve out a good bumper. Mind you, I'd advise you to get a car that is already factory fitted. It is quite popular in the Nordics as well. Hence, TSI 1.0 may be a great engine with 110 HP, as it's 3 cyl, it does lack the torque, which you could find challenging when trying to pull a caravan downhill (yes, downhill).

As I had stated, I had already deselected "Start music automatically" in the AA app on the phone (as well as in the car).

Software: 1941 Display unit/control panel Hardware: H47 Display unit/control panel Software: 2103 Navigation Database: 21.2 Media Codec: 3.1.4 Radio Database: 1.30.40 I've checked under updates, but it's empty.

I'm not sure. Is it possible to update the firmware ourselves or is it only possible at the service ?

Hi, Though being an experienced IT Engineer, I'm totally baffled with the Android Auto problems with my 2022 Octavia 1.4 TSI PHEV Combi. TBH, before this I had VW T-ROC and never had such problems with it. Here's the list of my annoyances: Everytime I turn on the engine it asks for me to login to my phone screen. Never had to do this on Android Auto on a VW T-ROC. I mean, can't it not remember your device? Everytime I open Android Auto, although auto play of music is disabled, it automatically starts playing the music. I've checked Android auto, VLC player etc. No resolution. I've only tried it with VLC, is it the same with other media players? Forgets Tomtom AMI GO app and persistently loads Google Maps. This is annoying, especially when you are abroad and you don't want to roam your internet. As a solution you need to first open the TomTom app on your phone, then connect to Android Auto. Then it works, otherwise app isn't visible in AA. Everytime I connect my dashcam to the USB (I know, this isn't Android Auto related), the dashcam goes into mass storage mode.....Only solution I could find was to terminate the middle two connectors on the USB cable. Any solutions would be appreciated :)

i had the same error message last week when I had left the car in 40C. Interestingly the error dissappeared once I cooled the inside of the car and never saw it again since. Reading the comments it makes sense. I suspect it is quite humid and hot in Egypt this time of the year, which may be affecting the micro-switch.

I learnt that the spec of the oil is VW G 052 182 A2. (It's so expensive! about 58 euros / litre !!!) Generally known as dual clutch transmission oil. Compatible oil filter (DSG 7 speed) are (not confirmed): AUDI, SEAT, SKODA, VW (0GC 325 183) AUDI, SEAT, SKODA, VW (0GC 325 183 A) AUDI, SEAT, SKODA, VW (0GC 325 183 D) AUDI, SEAT, SKODA, VW (N 043 809 2) AUDI, SEAT, SKODA, VW (N 910 845 01)

As my car is at 65000 km already, it's time for the DSG (transmission) oil and filter change. As the car is already out of warranty, I see no point in taking it to the Skoda service shop to pay more. I'd be grateful if you could let me know the oil specification and the amount required for the DSG oil and filter replacement.
