The ECU doesn't have mapping for 91RON fuel so the risk of pre-ignition (pinking) is increased, which can cause damage to pistons and valves if used long term so I would not use 91RON myself except in an extreme emergency.

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.

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.

FYI Bristol Airport are building, and will open shortly, a multi-storey car park.

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.

Have a look at this thread Infotainment Model Numbers

They're completely different!

Plug the card into a PC and copy ALL files onto your HDD/SSD.

I've used this wireless adapter for 6 years and found it 100% reliable.

I've been using this wireless CarPlay adapter for 6 years and found it 100% reliable.

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!

Paperwork complications after Brexit is what Kopacek say, nothing to do with distance.

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

@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.

Exactly what I have done with the Octavia's I've owned over the past 9 years.

There is no reason to change the timing belt on a 2020 car in 2025 - whoever advised it is way out of date since Skoda UK finally got in line with the rest of the VAG empire a while back and scrapped the ridiculous 5 year interval.

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

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).

In the UK 95RON fuel IS E10 so all the Octavia owners here who have been filling with 95RON have been filling with E10 for many years. Even our 97/98/99RON is E5.

See pins 9 & 10 of the 13 pin socket. The fridge should be wired to pin 10 which is supposed to be ignition switched.

But sadly most UK homes only have a single phase supply, and in my experience most US home have a dual 110V at 180 degree phase supply (giving 220V for tumble dryers and washing machines).

The 1.5 ACT TSI needs a very special tool (that is expensive) and takes a lot longer than a 1.4 TSI (non-ACT) hence the much higher cost. Because Skoda UK were out of line with all other parts of the VAG empire worldwide!

Find a new dealer, for two reasons: 1) the advice regarding cambelt replacement was changed by Skoda UK several years ago so 5 years is no longer valid. 2) on the 1.4 & 1.5 engines the cambelt and water pump are on opposite ends of the engine so replacing them both together is not needed or advised.

Seems highly unlikely that an ECU would suddenly fail, far more likely to be a sensor or wiring if nothing mechanical or fuel related.
