Owners of the previous model Octavia have also been commenting on the short battery life of Kessy remotes, so it's not a new 'feature' ☺️

The OTA updates are minor patches, but the updates the dealer does are full updates.

Doubt it, I have the aircon on 24/7/365 and the oil temperature would always get to around 90+ Celsius .

12.12 is the most common sign that a clone cable is being used...

When the traction battery charge level becomes too low it should drop into hybrid mode, but initially the traction battery charge level will be low enough that it will effectively be ICE mode until the traction battery has been 'topped up'.

That's a facelift (twin headlights) so it can't be an Elegance as the Elegance was only sold as a pre-facelift model AFAIK. The Amundsen uses SD cards for the maps, so if sat nav works without an SD card plugged into the main unit in the glovebox then you have a Columbus. Can't comment on the differences between S, SE & SEL.

How many miles has the car done? DPF's have a limited life, once the ash level reaches a certain amount they cannot regenerate and require to be removed and cleaned.

Which annoys me I have to admit, means as well as the app I need to remember my login details for the once ever few months I need to login via a browser. [rant] I don't see any logic behind restricting what the app can do, and what do people who only have a smartphone do - visiting a bank branch is often a futile exercise of queueing only to find that the person you need to speak to doesn't work on that day or in that branch [/rant]

Contact Abtech AVSS at Totton to see if they are willing to help.

I noticed when the stop/start kicked in that the voltage measured at the 12V socket would drop from 13.4V/12.6V (depending on the start of charge of the battery) to around 11.8V, maybe that's enough for the dashcam to turn off?

The car now remembers the radio not the other way round (as it used to be) as the CP master is in the car,

Is the voltage drop when the engine restarts making the camera think the ignition has been turned off?

Got a link please?

AFAIK Skoda don't publish update or change notes.

@parsey83 is in Belfast, maybe the shipping arrangements are different to NI than the rest of the UK due to the well publicised Brexit issues?

AFAIK Skoda do not publish a change log.

Again out of interest, does the tune allow you to run on E10 and/or E5 also?

As I said get OBD11 Pro (note that's eleven not II) OBD eleven or VCDS VCDS distributors (scroll down to find a link to the Italian distributor).

It IS possible (by quoting the SW version of ALL modules using a suitable diagnostic tool), but NOT by just quoting the infotainment SW version - which is what has been happening in this forum for many months (and which I've commented on before) Here's an analogy - modern cars are NOT like a PC, they are like a company network of multiple PCs - knowing the SW version of your PC tells nothing about the SW version of a PC in another department.

Out of interest, how widely available is E85 in your part of France (are you willing to tell us a region)?

You definitely need to do a diagnostics scan, many things can cause the engine to go into limp mode. The preferred tools on here are either OBD11 (go for the Pro version) or VCDS (make sure you don't get a cheap clone). Where to look? - the engine ECU at address 01. Once you have a fault code scan copy and paste it here.

I think the problem is that the SW version being quoted is the infotainment system SW version, this says nothing about the SW versions of the other 20+ electronic modules in the car... so has no relevance when e.g. the ACC SW is updated. The only meaningful comparison is by comparing the SW version of ALL the modules in the car, which cannot be read just from the infotainment system but needs a scan tool such as VCDS or OBD11.

Wiring between Canton amp and sub-woofer? Seems strange that both halves of the sub-woofer are reported as open circuit, sounds more like an amp (or power/ground to amp) problem to me?

So that's a 2.0 diesel?

The links give the settings required, which can be done by both VCDS and OBD11 Pro
