If everything works, it’s a mk3 🤣

Maxton rear diffuser.
Anyone else have issues with the fitting of the maxton rear diffuser to their VRS? Mine really didn’t want to stick. not sure the fit is perfect, but the flexible rear bumper on the vrs is probably more to blame…

They need to put a proper exhaust on the vRS and bin the stupid speaker!

Is an OBD2 scanner an essential item for an Octavia Mk4 IV owner?
Got one after getting my car, updated the lane assist, and enabled standard cruise control, and have not used it since. That was over a year ago.

Maybe it’s me, but my mk4 on 19s is more comfy than my mk3 on 18s.

Removing chrome trim from front bumper
I’d probably just wrap it. Looks like it’s small enough you could get one of those sellotape looking rolls of wrap.

Buying advice mk3 or mk4?
I’ve had two MK3s, and a mk4. mk3s have been largely bulletproof. Other than both had the water pump and DSG selector issues. My mk4 is a much nicer car, but the software still needs work. Adaptive cruise control makes me angry on a regular basis. And the entertainment system reboots occasionally. From reading these forums, if people have sold their mk4, it’s because of issues, so you are pretty likely to get a lemon buying a second hand mk4 at the moment.

Error: selector lever...
That’s mad! I had that on both my MK3s years ago. Can’t believe it’s not fixed yet.

Speedo dial not remembering setting.
Yep. I usually use the last one in the list with the rev counter going across the top. Keeps reverting to the round dials, on startup.

Speedo dial not remembering setting.
Anyone else’s speedo not remembering which option it was in, all of a sudden? I think one of the recent OTA updates has broken it, as it has been rock solid since I got the car.

Apple CarKey
I’ve just read something that says Recent Skoda’s should be compatible with Apple CarKey, so I could use my phone to unlock and start the car. can’t find anything in the MyŠKODA app or website about it. Anyone got it setup?

Adding a wireless charger
I got one of the eBay wireless chargers mentioned here. does the job, gets a little warm, but not too bad even after an hours driving. mine could do with 5mm more on the cable, other than that all good. could do with MagSafe or something on the next iteration. 👍

Hello skoda octavi 4 Coding List and Adaption
I got it to work on my vRS. Constantly pops up annoying ACC not working messages, but it works. And the car doesn’t randomly brake, like the mess that is ACC.

Adding a wireless charger
Do you need to replace that whole part for the official wireless charging solution? Wow!

Hello skoda octavi 4 Coding List and Adaption
This thread has been very useful, thanks all. Anyone else find they don't get a module A9 listed in OBDEleven, to reduce the volume of the rumble speaker?
