6V or 12V version? My ex had a Fabia Ambiente 1.2 12V from 2005 until 2016 and we never found it short of "oomph" - I actually used to enjoy occasionally driving it at weekends instead of my V8 RS4, I loved the off-beat sound of the 3 cylinder engine and was surprised how well it went.

A modern VAG vehicle has correctly been described as "a computer network on wheels" 😵💫

Not all fault codes clear automatically, in many cases you have to fix the problem and then clear the code. I've used VCDS for nearly 20 years, I like its comprehensive coverage of all the modules in a modern Skoda (not just the major ones), the free for life software upgrades and the great online support (if you have a genuine one not a clone or copy). No it's not cheap, but compare it to the cost of a diagnostic visit to a dealer and it doesn't look so bad.

See this thread on here Infotainment Model Numbers

No the screen is only that, a screen. The "intelligence" is in the glovebox unit.

Amundsen & Columbus are not brands, they are different models of the infotainment system. If the in-built sat nav needs an SD card inserted to work then you have an Amundsen, if the glovebox unit has a CD/DVD drive and the maps are stored internally on a hard drive then you have a Columbus.

The sites of two of the manufacturing companies I worked for are now retail parks, and another is now a data centre.

I'm using the latest 2025/26 MIB2 Amundsen map which has multiple incorrect speed limits, one example is the housing estate where I live shows as 20mph even though there are no signs changing it from the 30mph on the access road. Where do errors like this get reported? BTW I'm in England.

And watch out for bow waves from idiots driving too fast through the water causing a much deeper surge.

Have you tried turning start-stop off? If the car new or new to you? If new to you is the battery healthy with a good CCA?

I wouldn't take an ACT engined car of mine to somewhere that doesn't seem to be fully up to speed with the extra steps and special tools required.

According to the VAG documentation I haven't had a compatible phone for many years, but they've always worked! The documentation isn't a priority for them to keep it up-to-date so I wouldn't take any notice of it - just user experience what matters, and I would be very surprised if the A15 isn't compatible in reality.

If you have a MIB2 then you have an Octavia 3 so you have posted in the wrong forum.

A 2013 Octavia will have a MIB1 Amundsen which has different screen resolution to a 2018 screen for a MIB2 - they are not compatible.

Not convinced that it's possible to remotely detect fuse or wiring problems?
-
Could be missing/blown fuse or wiring/connector problem too.
-
For a 1.5ACT engine that's too low, that's the quote for a 1.4 non-ACT engine. The ACT needs special tools and takes longer. 5years/80k miles is the old recommendation by Skoda UK which was "corrected" last year. Sounds like your "local ish VAG garage" is not 100% trustworthy?
