When you unlock the car and get in the Maxidot initially shows the total mileage.

I've deleted the MySkoda app and installed the Skoda ConnectLite app as I've just received the Skoda Dataplug from Horton Skoda - to be plugged into my 2015 1.4TSI when the weather gets warmer!

I was just quoting from the Skoda UK website - no surprise that they've made it so confusing and/or wrong

It needs to meet VW504 (if you're on fixed service intervals) or VW507/508 if you're on variable service intervals. See https://www.skoda-auto.com/other/oils-standards

The MkIV are all 2021 model year cars

Not sure I believe that a car manufactured in April-May 2020 will be a 2019 model. The change over between model years in normally around August of the year before - so a car manufactured in April-May 2020 will be a 2020 model. August 2018 - July 2019 = 2019 model August 2019 - July 2020 = 2020 model August 2020 - July 2021 = 2021 model Check your VIN against an online VIN checker - that will tell you what the model year actually is (rather than relying on the word of a dealer).

I intend to replace the battery on my 1.4TSI with a Varta AGM battery of the size fitted to the 2.0TDI - I've had the larger fabric sleeve to go over the new larger battery for over 3 years now in waiting!

It would be the same in the UK, the EML light must come on with the ignition and go out when the engine is started. Why? Because some less than honest people have disabled the EML light to hide engine problems.

Even when I borrowed some very expensive customer cars (for a fun weekend, think Ferrari et al) from my former employer (automotive consultancy) there were no concerns about parking them beside my garage at home where they were clearly visible. As part of my job I attended several vehicle security conferences, which is where I learnt how much hype and so little fact there is about aftermarket security add-ons

True, but since OP is talking about a new 2021 model Kodiaq L&K not something that need concern him

Some dealers claim it would be a breach of the previous owners confidentiality - but what's the difference between showing you paper service records and showing you digital service records? In my book there is no difference, but ...

... and that's the best advice there is, professional thieves are always one step ahead of car manufacturers - but the real question is "are professional thieves interested in Skodas?". I have yet to see, hear or read any evidence that Skodas are "in the radar" of professional thieves - and if they're not then surely all OP needs to be thinking about is deterring the average scrote, and AFAIK there's no evidence that the manufacturer fitted immobiliser and alarm are insufficient?

That's why manufacturers are quite happy to quote WLTP etc. figures with very small print saying (in effect) you won't get this range in the real world. It's always been the case that manufacturer quoted fuel consumption and range values are based on laboratory tests that are totally unrepresentative of the real world - WLTP fuel consumption figures (for ICE vehicles) are less silly but the electric range figures (for EV & hybrid vehicles) are still wildly optimistic. Count yourself as yet another person to believe that the quoted figures are possible in the real world - they're not now, never have been and never will be (because every drive is in different traffic and meteorological conditions).

If there's no fault codes it sounds more like lack of air or fuel Air filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, ...?

Machine Mart?

Both of you need to get an OBD2 scan done as there are many different reasons why an engine will go into limp mode.

Why not just fit something like this to create a dummy OBD2 port with a loud siren attached? Dummy OBD2 Port

Any iOS updates been applied recently? If not sounds like a hardware issue to me, but 7 most common iPad problems might help. Not had any issues with my iPhone 11 Pro or SWMBOs iPad Mini 5.

Peak Summer demand for EV charging on the M5 through Somerset & Devon, and on the M3 through Surrey & Hampshire, could both be challenging when EVs are the majority. In a normal year (i.e. not in 2020) the queues on both those motorways can be 30 miles long on peak travelling days.

Legislation requires that when new all speedos over-read by between 0% and 10% - normally on new OE size tyres the over-read is around 5% to allow for tyre wear and different OE tyre sizes without needing speedo recalibration.

To update the maps no, the Amundsen reads the maps directly from the SD card as it doesn't have internal map storage. To update the firmware, follow the instructions that pab567 sends out.

I wasn't using the browser but the Connect Lite app - so not a browser problem. Seems it was a Skoda problem since when I tried again this morning it let me login - also proving it wasn't a browser problem.

What kind of radio do you have, the 2014 Octavia had several options for the radio?

My new Toyota with keyless entry has a simple solution to the 'relay' problem, you can disable the RFID function on the keys simply by pressing the two buttons on the keys in the correct order - no need for a Faraday box/wallet. Don't know if VAG/Skoda have a similar feature?

Just remember that the Metro, aka Rover 100, looked huge alongside a REAL (Issignois) Mini In my 'yoof' I owned 2 Minis followed by 3 Metros - for my sins
