Tyre Pressure sensor - possible to be faulty?
chavdarlk replied to Stoofa's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
TPM system needs 3 very close values and 1 different to indicate a problem. In all other situations it will shut up. This means also that it needs good road and straight ahead direction. -
Guess my mpg today (and yesterday)
chavdarlk replied to sms's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Last week I have reached 53.3 mpg (5.3L/100km) at average speed 50mph (80km/h) . The trip was about 43 miles (70 km) and pure cold start. -
Octavia II Poor Sounding Stereo Fix
chavdarlk replied to Mr Kite's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Just have to specify the things For given type of capacitor, the higher the voltage rating, the better the results. Do not compare voltage ratings of different capacitor types! Higher voltage -> higher linearity for given (small) signal amplitude Higher voltage -> lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) Higher voltage -> lower inductance Higher voltage -> higher maximum ripple current Higher voltage -> longer capacitor life ... Higher voltage -> bigger dimensions :thumbdwn: Just consider one important thing - the capacitor and the tweeter forms a series RCL resonance circuit. In such configuration at resonance frequency you will get much higher voltage across the capacitor than the input voltage! Interactive demonstration of RCL a.c. series circuit -
Octavia II Poor Sounding Stereo Fix

Your statement is untrue... Overrating in the electronics leads only to oversizing, nothing bad . Particularly, with the capacitor voltage - high nominal voltage -> high linearity. (especially for electrolytics). -
I would place the spare on the rear side and move one of the rears to the front.

Octavia II Poor Sounding Stereo Fix

Are you sure you are hearing anything but some hissing :eek: You should buy the right value, but current ones would not damage anything. -
Octavia II Poor Sounding Stereo Fix

NO, NO, NO :nono: 3300 pF = 3.3 nF = 0.0033 µF Right value is 3.3 µF = 3300 nF = 3300000 pF -
Sorry for this stupid google translation - Translated version of http://news.automedia.bg/read/6496.html Note the engine - 1.8 TSI - 155 kW - 211 hp

Enjoy the video -

You do not have to drill a holes, just screw them directly in the carpet. In fact, you would not have any problems even without mounting it .

Check if the cover of the mirror in the sun shield is closed. It was creaking in my car when was left open.

Speed Warning != Winter Tyres There is two speed warning systems: 1. Winter Tyres - it is semi-permanent function, it is configurable only in the Setup of the MaxiDOT Setting for winter tyre speed Here you can set at which speed a warning signal should sound. These functions are used for e.g on winter tyres with the permissible maximum speed less than the maximum speed of the vehicle 2. Speed warning - in the trip computer readings, can be set up from 30 km/h in 5 km/h steps. Warning against excessive speeds This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A text in the display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you have exceeded the set speed limit. The set speed limit remains stored in the memory, also when the ignition is switched off and on; it can only be erased by pressing the button ( for more than 1 second.

Hill-hold on a car that shouldn't have it?!!

Another stupid question - tyres
chavdarlk replied to Caffeine Addict's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Tyres - 195/65R15, Rims - 15J6 Tyres - 205/55R16, Rims - 16J6.5 -
This would not work, because the resistance of the cold lamp is about 5-15 times lower than the lighting one. OK, this is correct (only for small lamps), but the best way is to calculate the resistance from the power: P = U^2 / R R = U^2 / P R = 160 / P
-
Only the current.
-
In fact, the additional resistors have to be placed in parallel with the LED pack, thus not affecting it's brightness. The only disadvantage is that consumed power equals thats of the conventional bulbs.

Just do full open and full close for every window, and "auto" function will come back.

(mutating) first gear problem
chavdarlk replied to mrs t's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Transmission oils have nothing in common with the engine oils :confused:. You should not use an engine oil in the gear box :eek:. Not sure, but the right oil is SAE75W90. Check the right specification with the dealers. -
Octavia Stream radio occasional "pop" noise
chavdarlk replied to Oli's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
It seems that the pop is coming on high speed... this is my opinion. Probably some mess with the CAN-bus packets (ABS packets, etc.)... -
This is because these LED lamps are designed not very clever. There are four chains (every with two LEDs and a resistor) in parallel. There is missing a second resistor in parallel to LEDs (current threshold) in each chain.

Bulgarians (me ) are doing this also...

Front parking sensors - anyone fitted them?
chavdarlk replied to bertJ's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
IMHO the front parking sensors are nearly useless :thumbdwn:. The continuous tone is coming at a distance about 10-12". Then you could not know what is the real margin, and it is easy to deal with distances above 10" without the sensors.
