Attached is an example of what I meanExample factory build data print out(1).txt

I have an early Scala and can confirm that the stickers are not fitted. If you ask a main dealer they can print out a more detailed factory build description for your individual car. My dealer did so and I'll try to link to an old post of mine so can judge whether it is worth asking

It does not stiffen normal suspension. It does stiffen and Lower in sport mode. On my early Scala there are modes for normal, eco, sport and individual. Mine is a 1.5 petrol dsg. And if you select individual mode you can choose whether on not to have sport suspension on. In sport mode it is on by default. In eco and normal sport suspension is off. In my experience sport mode noticeably improves handling but at the expense of comfort.

Yes they are. The rear ones if you have them are not.

I think my first post lacked detail, so here goes. My 2020 Scala has Amundsen head unit and I have a connect package which can update traffic conditions for the inbuilt sat nav. Within the sat nav there is a setting to warn if travelling faster than the speed limit for the road driven on at any time. The warning is an audible double beep. Beepbeep. If I'm travelling faster than 30 on a road with a limit of 30, or 40 on a road with a limit of 40, and so on then I get the beepbeep warning. I choose to have it enabled (don't want points on licence after attending a speed awareness course already!). You can of course turn it off if you don't need it. It's most useful when speed limit changes downwards on a journey. Ignore all of this if it doesn't fit with your sympton. Cheers

Overspeed warning may be turned on? Will vary with speed limit

I had asked dealer if I should wait until it reoccurred (as mine had only displayed briefly) they advised no bring it in and we'll fix it which they did.

I had this a few months ago. Dealer said there was a technical bulletin on the issue and it was fixed under warranty. No reoccurrence

On Monday this week my Scala displayed restricted functionality message for SOS system, contact Service(garage).Did so and car booked in for probable new module. Asked garage if I should still take car in if error message disappeared (it duly did) which it duly did! I'll let you know the outcome.

Thanks to all for valuable information and advice

I could probably claim on warranty but as I intend to keep the car for a while I want to avoid a like for like offer by Skoda and go for an option that will last more than 3 years

Many thanks

I know there have been previous posts on the topic of car battery replacements for the Scala, and they mentioned best to fit an AGM rather than EFB. My car was built late 2019, and probably because of the pandemic, was not registered until September 2020. I bought it a couple of months later when it had done less than 1200 miles. It's described as first edition or launch edition and although basically SEL spec. it has sports interior, external styling pack, panoramic sunroof, heated front windscreen. The battery is obviously now over 3 years old (and for 9 months of that before being registered probably was unused and depleted of charge), Stop start has become increasingly reluctant to kick in (saying consumption high). A fifty mile run does not kick it in. I previously had an Octavia for 5 years with AGM battery, and stop start always worked (subject to ambient temp. and the other criteria being met) The car currently has an EFB battery. I have checked on the many sites which say which battery will fit my car (using reg. number) and none bring up an AGM option. So after that long winded introduction, here is what I could do with ideas and thoughts/suggestions on:- 1) Is the consumption too high message on stop/start a common issue. 2) Does that indicate poor battery condition ( the car always starts promptly on the start button) 3) Anyone with an AGM battery fitted and what are your experiences? 4) Will a new EFB or AGM battery need coding to the car? 5) I have checked stop/start with no heating, air con windscreen heating or other current draw on and that does not make any difference. It does have rear camera (Skoda fitment) but that does not seem a likely cause of current draw, as it does what it should and only operates when car in reverse. It it possible that other modules are not powering down when they should? Any thoughts. The car is still under warranty and has done less than 15000 miles with a fair amount being 700 mile trips. 6) What battery rating does your 1.5 tsi act Scala have? Is the fitment different for colder climates than the UK? Many thanks

Dbpoweramp does batch conversion but is not free

I believe Audacity which is free to download and use will help you convert your PCM files to MP3 which is more easily able to be tagged in a way that your head unit understands. PCM can be tagged but I doubt the Skoda unit can read the method used. Hope this helps although I'm sure someone will be along with more info.

Press on off for 20 or so seconds and system will reboot. Usually with a loud pop in the speakers. Have rebooted my unit a few times this way when it frozee

You might be right. I cannot check whether there was a sticker for my Scala, as I'm yet to receive the " book pack" for it which is apparently on back order!! Previous Skoda I have owned also had the sticker in the boot area under carpet, but certainly not evident on my Scala. Good luck with sorting your issue out.

Here is the link if useful to you http://prsearch.planetvag.com/

The three character letter/number codes may be on a rectangular sticker in one of the books in your owners pack for your car. If so there is an online tool ( search for "VW option decoding tool" or similar. From memory it's a slow job doing it code by code, much quicker if the Dealer does it. If you find the sticker I'll send you a link to the Web for the decoder!

I asked for it before purchase, the car was 6 weeks old before I bought it and I wanted to sure of the full spec

Ask your dealer for a print out of all the options that were built into the vehicle when manufactured. Although I own a Scala now I previously had an Octavia L & K which had sport suspension option when built which was lower than standard. (Not to be confused with adaptive suspension) it therefore had less wheel arch gap than a standard Octavia My 2020 Scala SEL has adaptive suspension 18" wheels and 45 profile tyres, which seem to fill the wheel arches well. So difficult to compare with your model without knowing its build specifications

I've moved from an Octavia 3 L&K diesel 150 DSG to a Scala 1.5 Petrol DSG SEL First Edition. The build quality of the Scala is at least equivalent but the level of equipment lower by comparison to L&K specification but Skoda no longer do an Octavia in that specification in the UK. Ride quality in my experience is slightly better and handling slightly lighter (my Scala has chassis control but otherwise has same torsion rear suspension set up) Fuel consumption over first 1000 miles half of which was on motorway averaged 55MPG I'm ok with the touchscreen controls and like the virtual cockpit

Would be interested to know what firmware others have in Amundsen MIB1. Mine is Device 5E0035874A Hardware version: 040 Firmware version: 0435 This is in an August 2014 Built L&K with Canton. Problems I have are poor zooming on navigation and restricted power output on all audio sources. Asked a well known West Yorkshire dealer to check for software update at 12 month service. Told there are none Before I follow up just wanted to find out if there is a later firmware than 0435 Thanks
