Basics question - is there a separate relay? Quite often on modern cars the power is switched by a semiconductor in the module - the cue will be the rating of the fuse that supplies the module, a small rating probably means it powers on ly the module but a higher rating means it powers the load (in this case the fan) as well. Sounds like you need a wiring diagram - which someone here might have and can share?

The proposed mine in Cumbria is intended to only produce coke which is still needed for some industrial processes in the UK, as it will be several (many?) years before all those processes can change to no longer need coke (will the alternatives have other environmental impacts though?). If we don't produce coke locally then those companies will need to import it, and the most likely producer is Australia. So we need to balance the impact of producing locally against the impact of shipping coke halfway round the world on ships that are very likely fuelled by the most polluting fossil fuel, heavy oil.

Bluetooth is fine for basic use of the phone via the infotainment, but CarPlay offers so much more access to the iPhone features. I use wireless CarPlay as I couldn't be bothered with a USB cable, so the iPhone stays in my jacket pocket.

The cutoff point for new maps is 5 years after that infotainment system was last used in VAG production.

So post in the Superb Mk3 forum where fellow owners can help you https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/299-skoda-superb-mk3-2015-2023/

I think you should post this in the forum relating to whatever car it is that you own, at the moment it's so generic it's impossible to give a sensible answer as there are so many steering systems on Skodas.

The last time I took my previous car to a dealer was when it was not quite 3 years old, they told me I needed new front discs and pads, after servicing and MOTs at a trusted independent VAG specialist 7 years and 50,000 miles later I sold it still with the original front discs and pads!

Battery level and signal strength of paired mobile phone.

There are just 2 circumstances when I turn off stop/start: 1) when at a junction or roundabout with heavy traffic and only small gaps, so the delay for the engine to restart makes it impossible to safely get into the gap 2) when in a traffic queue that keeps stopping and restarting every few seconds

It seems that the grid operator in Spain warned some months ago that with 70% of their power coming from renewables, especially solar, the network lacked the inertia inherent in mechanical generators to cope with sudden changes in demand - so it seems they were warning that such a grid collapse could happen.

If one coilpack is dodgy then I would change all 4 as the others might not be far behind.

Please post a screenshot of your friends infotainment system showing the software version.

Please explain why/how you think there is an update numbered 2035 - with either a link or a picture preferably?

If you don't have a GPS that shows speed then timing the distance posts on the sides of a motorway can also be a useful way for a PASSENGER to check the difference between indicated and actual speed

I was under the impression that the "grace value" used by UK Police has been 5% plus 1.5mph for several years now?

VCDS Owners Map List of VCDS Owners

I mean one that properly understands VW Group vehicles and their specific fault codes, not just the generic OBD fault codes.

No idea, I use VCDS and a Windows 11 2-in-1 laptop but lots of people on here use OBDeleven.

Do you have a friend with either OBDeleven or VCDS - they give a much more in depth report?

Nickel is also used extensively for plating plumbing items as a less environmentally damaging alternative to hexavalent chromium.

There is more than 1 temperature sensor, I think it could also be the one measuring intake air temperature - so rather than guessing I suggest a code scan.

Smoke suggests it's stuck in cold start mode, which points to a temperature sensor?

Several possibilities hard (impossible?) to know which without a fault code scan IMHO.

That's not how I read the reply from Skoda - it's only the Driver Assist functions that return to default, and since Speed limiter is shown as a separate item in the list they have made no comment about Speed limiter returning to default - just referred you to the owner's manual...

Even though it's called a resistor it's not actually a resistor but an electronic module that uses PWM to control the motor speed in a way that doesn't dissipate lots of heat.
