VCDS can only report what the VAG software tells it, so when it reports strange units of measure or wrong fault locations it's VAG that are to blame not VCDS. I had a report of a faulty right rear sidelight, but actually it was the left front sidelight - checking through the raw VAG diagnostics data it was clear that someone at VAG had done a 'copy and paste' job hence the wrong location!

Multi colour LEDs need more than 2 wires, I suspect they either stick with white or fit a blue LED instead.

You've just lost your bet, he only used GT85 nothing else.

You have to pull the handle out into the car as well as pulling it towards the rear, it's a delicate balance between opening the bonnet and breaking the handle.

AFAIK the only real options are OBDeleven and VCDS for full VAG diagnostics. You could try looking on auction sites, but if the price looks too good then they will likely be a rip-off clone (best clue for VCDS clones is if they come with a CD, genuine VCDS doesn't as the SW is free to download with updates for life).

I've downloaded the AS version, unzipped it and put it onto a genuine 32GB SD card - worked with no problem.

As it's name suggests WD40 is a Water Displacer rather than an actual lubricant like GT85. My ex-BIL was a repair technician for Hoover white goods and always used GT85.

Over the years I've had several cars "chip tuned" or fitted larger & wider wheels or fitted sports/custom exhausts or car audio systems - all declared to my insurers and not one increased my premiums or compulsory excess.

Depending on the DSG version some have dry clutches and some wet clutches.

Cuts in Government funding in recent years for e.g. the SERC led to there being some eminent scientists appearing on the media expressing concerns that as their funding would now have to increasingly come from corporates they would be pressured to produce the "right" results from their now commercially funded research. There's a long history over hundreds of years of the accepted scientific status quo being eventually overturned by scientists who were initially treated as heretics or pariahs, e.g. the sun and planets circulating around the earth. So I believe it's understandable that research results from funding by corporates and a majority view may not be seen as an accurate representation of scientific 'fact' in some quarters.

At least once a week while my partner does some shopping which is of no interest to me... Most new EV owners will have come from an ICE or hybrid and will expect to get the same sort of information made available to them - if they don't then they will 'bad mouth' their new EV to all their friends - this is why they must continue with the "legacy 'trip computer' from the 90's" if they want to get customer acceptance, like it or not most people hate change.

I suspect most people will see it as an estimate of range, which if it doesn't include energy usage when in P will make it useless in many owners opinion.

Here's an example https://retrofitsw.co.uk/product/start-stop-memory-module/

Only by adding one of the hardware add-ons that simulates automatically pressing the switch for you.

Parking sensors are only active below a certain speed, so with a faulty ABS sensor they don't get accurate/correct speed information so they are also disabled. Basically any system that needs speed information is disabled when an ABS sensor is faulty.

There was a reply on here from the guy at Skoda who worked on the FL Octavia IV who confirmed that the FL does not have the soundaktor.

Best way is to create a directory structure in the SD card root directory of: \Artist\Album\Tracks(1...n) I rip my CDs to 320kbps MP3 files using this structure then copy them to the SD card. Then on the infotainment screen you see a list of Artists, click on an Artist and you see a list of their Albums, click on an Album and you see a list of Tracks - click on one and it plays.

If I were a betting man I would say no.

Don't bother getting a Skoda SD card, that's only needed for the sat nav database which as you have a Bolero is pointless. Just use any SD card and put your music on it.

All those systems need speed information, so I agree with Paws4Thot.

That's really the point I was making, clean energy generation is essential but it must be done sympathetically. There are plenty of great locations for wind, solar, hydro, tidal, etc. that do not cause unacceptable quality of life issues (or loss of productive farmland) for more than a handful of people, who must then be appropriately compensated.

An interesting question, but how it belongs in this thread about electric cars I fail to see - so I'm not going to clutter up this thread with my reply.
