Low and high beam H7 halogen to led h7 coding
I don't think that's a coding issue, it looks to me like the LED bulbs are too voltage sensitive - and since the BMS allows the voltage to vary between just over 12V and over 14V while driving no coding is going to solve that.

the truth about electric cars
My understanding is that not all solar battery charger/inverters are capable of running in off-line mode (i.e. during a power cut)?
- Are 1.0 TSIs fine with RON91 Fuel (Fuel Lid lists min. RON95)

Changing the bulb type requires changes to the correct Leucht channels in the BCM. What do you mean by "loupes"?

Naigation Maps update (free)
Keep looking on eBay, SOME sellers do list the size - but check it as soon as it arrives, the first"32GB" card I bought was actually 16GB so I returned it for a refund but the second one was 32GB.

Naigation Maps update (free)
I've had an Amundsen for 9 years so I hope I can clarify: 1) You MUST use a Skoda branded SD card. 2) Amundsen reads the maps directly from the SD card. 3) Having 2 map SD cards inserted at the same time can confuse the Amundsen, what I do is buy a Skoda SD card from eBay then quick format it and copy the unzipped new maps onto it. When done remove the existing SD card from slot 1 and insert the new one, and wait for it to be recognised... This has worked for me for the twice yearly updates since 2016.

Car Park Fires, Transporters / Ships, any fires, any EV,s involved or not thread, were they the cause just there and so made fighting the fire harder.
FYI Bristol Airport are building, and will open shortly, a multi-storey car park.

Skoda Electric Models
Since they are wholly owned subsidiaries of Volkswagen AG that's likely unless another car manufacturer wants to buy the brand name - but then they probably wouldn't be able to use VAG parts so would be SEAT or Skoda in name only.

How to check oil level
It's the same on my fiancee's 2011 Audi A4 cabriolet, no dipstick and can only see the oil level on the infotainment with the ignition on. So this "progress" was already happening 14 years ago!

Me too on my 2016 L&K with a MIB2 Amundsen, both TSR and HBA which I find really useful.

Ethanol fuel e10 in 2.0 Octavia
@Ootohere I know you love being pedantic but really the difference between 97, 98 & 99 in this context is not worth posting about 🤡

Provided you don't live in the UK, as Kopacek won't ship items too large for Royal Mail to the UK.

Engine Cylinder Misfire
There is no reason to change the timing belt on a 2020 car in 2025 - whoever advised it is way out of date since Skoda UK finally got in line with the rest of the VAG empire a while back and scrapped the ridiculous 5 year interval.

Engine Cylinder Misfire
You mention 3 cylinders and timing belt, what engine do you have?

Ethanol fuel e10 in 2.0 Octavia
It's not the ethanol concentration it's the higher RON value that is beneficial (provided the ECU tuning has maping for the higher RON).
