None of those say NO infrastructure but point out that the infrastructure is NOT consistent throughout the nations and regions.

the truth about electric cars
Interesting, but it's north Devon I drive to so Exeter is off route. It 'amuses' me that, as Ootohere has mentioned in an earlier post, some people seem to try to expand their regional experience to the whole country - the simple fact is that public infrastructure coverage is NOT consistent throughout the whole of England, Scotland and Wales so people's experiences of the coverage will vary and it's pointless, some would say stupid, to maintain that just because one person sees good or bad coverage that will apply to all 60+ million of us.

Amundsen map upgrade
As I said there are several, so here's a link to a search that currently shows 235 results! https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3519243.m570.l1313&_nkw=skoda+sd+card&_sacat=0

the truth about electric cars
That's not my experience where I drive in the South and South West, I have yet to see a charging hub on a major route without queues of EVs waiting to charge.

Amundsen map upgrade
That's the problem, the Amundsen REQUIRES a Skoda (in fact any VAG branded) SD card as it has a special embedded code that isn't present on a 'normal' SD card. Skoda SD cards are available on a well known auction site at prices well below the official dealer price, I've boight all my Skoda SD cards from there!

the truth about electric cars
BUt one of the reasons given by potential EV buyers for NOT buying an EV is the limited public charging network causing them "range anxiety", some people have even traded in the EV they had bought due to lack of charging infrastructure. Seems we're in a chicken and egg situation - where the public charging network won't be expanded until there is increased demand but there won't be increased demand because of the perception of limited public charging network. Someone needs to break this vicious circle...

SD card 2 problem
It is possible to setup WMP to do the ripping correctly, I've been using WMP since 2005 to rip CDs to SD card for use in my VAG vehicles (Audi S4, Audi RS4, Octavia 3 Elegance & Octavia 3 L&K).

Rear wiper 'pausing' mid sweep
I've had rear wipers on every VAG car I've owned since 1999 and only had one failure when water from the washer jet leaked into the motor - this was when the car was 9 years old.

SD card 2 problem
I just use Windows Media Player to rip from CD to HDD and then mp3tag to add album art to every file. Then I just copy the whole artist/album folder structure from HDD to the SD card.

1.5 TSI misfiring when started from cold
If the battery is the same type (EFB or AGM) and substantially the same Ah capacity then all you need to do is change one digit of the battery serial number in the BMS module.

Infotainment System Restarting endlessly
When you consider that the Octavia IV has been on sale for 4 years, and the facelift version is already available to order, then if true that is outrageous.

Best place to ask that is the forum for a 2021 Superb https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/299-skoda-superb-mk-iii-2015-2023/

Update to Version 1969
Find a delaer who has a modicum of product knowledge, as that's just not true.

Coding in new EFB battery using Carista.
If that's a script then it depends if you trust the script. Personally I prefer to make the changes manually. If the battery is the same type and the same Ah capacity then in reality all you need to change is one digit of the serial number.

Error: Rear Park Distance Control
Looks like a problem with a rear parking sensor, I think you need a fault code scan to identify the details of the problem.

VCDS Scan - What's The Diagnosis
- SD card 2 problem
This is exactly how all the music on the SD card I use in my Amundsen MIB2 is formatted.- SD card 2 problem
@TimGoddard Given that it's clear you have a Mk3 Octavia, it would be far better to continue this discussion in the Mk3 Octavia forum where fellow owners can better hellp you. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/235-skoda-octavia-mk-iii-2013-2020/- VCDS Scan - What's The Diagnosis
That's not going to disconnect the module from the CAN bus and it might remove power from other components too so I wouldn't recommend it.- Octavia iV battery size?
13kWh of which 10kWh is usable.- How do I know if my alarm has gone off in my absence?
- Error code: C101C4A - Left rear ABS wheel speed sensor incorrect component installed
IIRC there are 2 versions of the rear wheel sensors depending on whether the vehicle has park assist. Mechanical malfunction sounds like there could be a problem with the magnetic ring that the wheel speed sensor uses?- Issue with New Turbo Fitted
If the actuator is sticking and the feedback is saying it's not moving then the ECU could be trying to move it to the desired feedback value by 'bouncing' the voltage up and down?- Oil consumption in VRS TSI 2016
My 1.8 EA888 Gen3 uses at most 0.5L in the 8,000 miles between annual services, so I would say there's no general problem with the EA888.- VCDS Scan - What's The Diagnosis
Look at the scan for modules that cannot be reached, and unplug the connector on them one at a time doing a new scan after each one. The main culprits being Engine, ABS, AWD and Steering Assist. - SD card 2 problem
