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.

I love the way you go completely off-grid with some of your posts 😂

A few years ago I stayed a few miles from a wind farm near Dieppe, it was really difficult to get a good nights sleep whenever it was windy due to ground carried vibration from the wind turbines (yes I did look outside to check on which nights the turbines were operating).

But those of us who do drive, either because of necessity (work, non-existent public transport, etc.) or because we like driving, will have no choice from 2030 onwards when we buy new to buy an EV (I'm ignoring Hydrogen vehicles as the refuelling infrastructure and model choice is so limited). So Government policy IS forcing anyone who drives to switch to an EV in the coming years.

Supposedly "for life" but IIRC inspections are recommended after 120,000 miles. Skoda UK used to ridiculously advise every 5 years which no other part of the worldwide VAG empire did, recently they've "seen the light" and removed this crazy advice.

Very unlikely, the passenger and driver side heating comes from one common heater matrix. Far more likely is a problem with the temperature flaps in the HVAC system, you really need to get a scan done with a diagnostic tool such as OBDeleven or VCDS to get the details.

Lots of discussion on here about the micro-regenerative charging system on these cars - even one recently who said his alternator was faulty because the voltage varied between just over 12V and over 14V when driving, which is perfectly correct and normal for this system. I have a USB device from Amazon that I plug into the 12V socket in the centre console that shows the voltage, as an engineer it's quite enlightening to see how the voltage changes depending on time since starting, whether on trailing throttle, etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0878Z3BMX
