Good to know that it was a faulty camera and not a more sinister incompatibility. Since you now have a proof that it was faulty, you could report this back to the seller and he might agree to refund the cost of the cable but then on then other hand, he has already shown some understanding and taken responsibility albeit at a cost of 8 Euro. But since you now have a working system, I would just let it rest. Thanks for letting us know.

I am trying to figure out if I can extract the PIN code from my Skoda Scala 2023 for a new key fob and immobiliser chip My PR code listing states: EL2 Online service, with OCU, without head unit coding and engine immobilizer interconnection Can somebody please explain this to me Thanks and kind regards Robert

Hi J.R. I've calculated the difference between you tyre size (when new) and the difference is around 4.9%. That is quire a lot. I thought that the tyre sizes should be within 3% or else the system complains because the front and rear wheels are spinning at different speeds and that would upset the traction control. I drove my skoda scala with 185/60R15 (winter tyres) on the front and 205/55r16 ('summer') on the rear and the traction control threw a wobbly, the car went into limp mode and when I witched off traction control the engine control light went on and despite resetting the tyre pressure or waiting for the engine warning to reset itself it always cam back on and limp mode. so my scala did not like a 4.8% size difference at all. The reason why I had 2 different tyre size was that I was waiting for my tyre supplier to get the right size of winter tyres.

Ahh, do the external valve stems look different for a valve mounted TPMS system?

I have a model 2023 Scala and the list of PR codes shows 7K1 Tire pressure monitoring system . Can anyone confirm that this TPMS system uses the ABS sensor for checking the tire pressure and has NO sensors in the tire or if this PR code refers to dedicated TPMS sensors in the tires ? Thanks for your help

I also just used the Link provided by Duncan (highly orderly) and the response of the ebay seller was near instantaneous at 11pm and the PR codes came flying into my inbox as a 7 page PDF. here is the link for this seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286236597304 At £4.87 this is highly reasonable. The dealer I bought the car from here in Edinburgh has not been 'able' or willing? to assist and provide me with the codes despite several attempts a their sales and customer support. I got a good discount on the car when I bought it in February, since it is a 2023 model on a 74 plate (the model before the late 24 face lift) and the new 25 plates were just around the corner but the after sale is lacking severely. It is one of the biggest multi brand car dealer franchise in Scotland.

Wow, what an excellent, detailed and prompt response! Lot's of kudos to you. I have been hesitant to go down that route but after this I am rather more confident. Just didn't want to fuss around my scala when it still only has 200 miles on the clock.

Hello All, I have searched my new Scala SE 1.0 TSI (built 2014) for the PR code sticker and cannot find it anywhere. It is neither in the car nor is it in the owners manual or any documentation I was given when I bought the car from the dealer with 10 miles on the clock. I thought this sticker is an integral part of the car and is referred to in the manual. The dealer seems to be not responding - I will name them if they do not come back to me in 2 working weeks. Any suggestions ??

Mike, I do understand your concern but that is the reason why I am aiming for a relay. This is a passive component which is plugged into a socket and has no other interface connections with the rest of the car. It is actually a rather ancient technology and as such nearly bomb proof. The circuit for the starter motor should be very straight forward and no ecu interface in the connections. The modification I have done to the relay (and others have done too) is to interrupt the connection between the input pin for relay actuation coil and the coil itself and have routed this to a manual switch which i can hide in the car. When the switch is off, the relay simply will not be able to actuate. When I want to start and drive then I flip the switch and it remains on during driving, thus also allowing start stop and any other function. The one issue I have is that I never had a car with two relais (or a DSG gearbox) hence I am going at this at a slow pace, but I dont think that there is any real issue in regards to warranty or otherwise. Simply pull the modified relay and replace it with the standard one.

Carlston, Thanks for those details, Well the 3mm movement into the wheelarch isn't realy very dramatic, especially considdereing that these would be for winter tyres and being used at lower speeds. The 195/65R15 would be a good size winter tyre and I will look into that for the next cold season. Hopefully, the main winter period will be over for us here in Scotland and thempeartures should rise a bit. Today we actually had a near unbelievable balmy 14 degC.

Further to my initial post, I wanted to add that my Scala is a DSG automatic and I have found some information on another web site that there might be two starter relais in serie. the firts relay is actuated by the starter switch and the second relay is connected to a clutch sensor. So, only when the clutch is pressed or desingaged will the second relay be closed and to allow the signal to pass through to the starter moror (it could also be the other way around but it would result in the same scenario) . Could this be the case here and if so, would it matter which relay has the kill switch installed?

Hello All, I would ike to install a starter relay kill switch into my new scala. I have now discovered that tyere are apparantly 2 starter relais in the engine bay fuse box. (se attached image). Does soembody here know a bit more about the function of these 2 relais? Why 2 ? And what happens if I just disable one of them? I have a modified 646 relay where the actuation circuit is interrupted and is routed to an external switch which I can hide somewhere in the interior of the car. I could easy modify a second one but I am not sure at this stage if this is needed. Anybody have access to the wiring diagram of teh scala and send me the relevant circuit?

Kenny, You seem to be knowledgable in this. I have a new scala 2024. And I have some old 6J15 alloy rims from my previous Fabia. Howver the ET is different at 38 (measured since the stamping is quite illegible but it also could also be 39) would they work on the scala - for winter tyres for the next season? Thanks for your help .

Hi MGV, How did you get to that menu?

I am a new scala DSG owner and I quite like the system. However, I quite regularly end up in S mode without realising it and have to switch manually back to D .
