  2. Is that even possible on a 2019 Kodiaq? After Dieselgate many things like that were locked down.
  3. Looking at the graphs in the first post, it looks to me like your original stock tune was deliberately reducing torque below around 3500rpm (maybe to limit gearbox torque?) and the APR tune is just 'inheriting" that reductions. So I agree the thing to do is go back to the stock tune and then investigate why that torque reduction is happening.
  4. Any bulbs been replaced with LEDs?
  5. Then might be worth asking in the Octavia 3 forum as you're more likely to get an asnwer there.
  6. What model Skoda, I'm guessing an Octavia?
  7. I use the closable cubby at the front for sweet wrappers And with the "phone holder that's too small to use as a phone holder" there's still room for one cup which is all I normally need.
  8. Previously I had an Audi RS4 which had switchable exhaust flaps (button on the steering wheel), having the exhaust in Sport mode was quite a bit louder and definitely changed peoples perception of speed. A good friend in a nearby road would occasionally said to me "you weren't hanging about yesterday" on days when I had Sport mode on but was still within the 30mph limit (according to both speedo and GPS).
  9. Is the supply to the cam turning off, or the cam turning off due to lower voltage?
  10. I use mine to keep the phone cable and 12V charger tidy when not in use.
  11. You expect dealers to have good product knowledge? - simply put, they do not. The introduction of water cooled turbos and electric auxiliary pumps many years ago made that advice complete nonsense on any vehicle built in the last "many years".
  12. @dhandley as per the thread you started are you sure your vRS has a cambelt? If it's a TSI then it does NOT.
  13. Try looking here: https://www.skoda-parts.com/catalog/octavia-3/spare-parts/steering-shifting-pedals-12.html
  14. Did a previous owner install speed camera notifications?
  15. The TSI definitely has a chain...
  16. I have a 2016 Octavia L&K Octavia 3 and have found the seats very comfortable even with my ong standing back injury. Yesterday I drove from Bath to Exeter and back with no back problems at all.
  17. With that low mileage the rust (which always forms) won't have had much opprotunity to be worn off, so I would say perfectly normal and OK.
  18. The original Capri was often known by an anagram of its name (Crapi), and it's sounds like the new one will inherit that dubious honour.
  19. But to offset that the new "VW" Amarok Mk2 is actually a Ford Ranger in disquise.
  20. Left field thought - is the towbar module mounted on top of the part assist module?
  21. Find the park assist module and check the fuse(s) that power it and connections to it.
  22. I'm interested what you mean by "just run in" as your profile says you have a 2014 Octavia III? Saying "just run in" about a 10 year old car seems somewhat unusual to me?
  23. How about users in Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire?
  24. See https://www.practicalcaravan.com/reviews/tow-car/47457-skoda-octavia-estate
