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.

Corrected that for you 😉

That means CP had been removed by a hack method which was lost when updating the firmware - not "properly" removed.

Update from the links which are posted in this forum - after backing up the current contents onto a PC or Mac. The latest cards are 32GB but if you don't need an all Europe map there is no need for the larger card.

Sounds like your "VCDS cable" isn't a VCDS cable but a clone/rip-off copy.

Because of the number of stereos that were getting stolen and sold on the black market - first they added PIN codes but those are easily calculated so then they came up with Component Protection (which is applied to other modules also) so the provenance of the module can be checked back at corporate HQ (but some people have even found a way around that now).

It will because you're installing it in a different vehicle.

Not really, using this tag editor you open the folder in Windows and copy the album art to all MP3's in one go. Then replace the updated albums on the SD card.
