MIB1 doesn't support CarPlay or Android Auto so it would be a waste of your money. To get CarPlay and Android Auto you need to upgrade to a MIB2 unit.

That's already in place, it's called Agile Octopus - where the cost per kWh varies every half hour of every day.

No, I'm on Agile Octopus not an EV tariff.

I don't have an EV, but I know when I'm going to be cooking my Sunday lunch and doing my washing!!!

Thre are several different blocks available with different combinations of switches, but AFAIK individual switches cannot be moved within the blocks.

... and also is in breach of EU regulations.

Worth asking in the Octavia 4 forum?

There's a microswitch inside the boot lock in the tailgate.

Unlikely to be the same pinout, you need to get a wiring diagram from erwin to check.

No, on the EA211 engine (1.4 & 1.5 TSI) the water pump is on the opposite end of the engine so there is no need or benefit having it changed at the same time as the cambelt.

Intermittent electrical connections due to loose or corrode terminals are not uncommon.

Yes Sport enables more aggressive throttle, steering, ACC, DSG, etc. ECO enables less aggressive throttle, ACC, DSG, coasting, etc. Normal is somewhere between Eco and Sport.

Don't look at the grade, look whether it meets the VW oil spec in your handbook - possibly VW502 or 504 (but someone will be along to confirm).

The MIB1 screens are lower resolution so if you fit a MIB2 screen with a MIB1 glovebox unit you'll get duplicate images on the screen.

I'd be very surprised if an Elegance didn't have rear parking sensors, but the lack of any parking switch in the centre console does make doubt?

I thought Skoda were changing their business model so the car is actually purchased from the factory, with the "dealer" having no flexibility on price - so the only way to get a new Skoda for less than list price is via a broker?

Nearly £40k for an Octavia!!! 😭

Ah so a 2.0TDI manual.

1698? Do you mean 1598?

If the new battery was pretty well charged then the BMS won't need to charge at the higher voltage to charge to battery to it's target of 80% SoC.

Amundsen or Columbus? - see my previous post how to tell which.

More likely the 10 year old battery...

But it also means that until a credible alternative is in place for those without a guaranteed home charging place a two-tier system of "have access to home charging" and "don't have access to home charging" is being created. Given the costs of public charging are currently much higher than home charging this will place yet another burden on hard stretched family finances of owning an EV, and hence will further limit the potential for EV sales and ownership. This problem must be solved, not ignored!

1) Does it have sat nav? Yes means Amundsen or Columbus, no means Swing or Bolero. 2) If it has sat nav, does an SD card have to be inserted for sat nav to work? If yes it's Amundsen, if no it's Columbus.

Definitely check the battery voltage BEFORE starting up in the morning and (if possible) get a battery CCA test done.
