... and some owners have reported that cars without towbar preparation have a VIN plate that shows they have weight limits which means they cannot legally tow anything.

BTW headlights are on the front of the car, what you are talking about is just called the rear light.

The language of this forum is English, please post in English. Google translate says:

Octavia 2 or Octavia 3, 2013 is the changeover year?

Read the translation carefully: No mention of being able to display the CAR menu, etc. It's very carefully worded marketing bumpf designed to deceive.

There's no mention on the Kenwood website here of that head unit displaying car specific information, just being CANbus compatible is not the same thing - you've got the wrong head unit. You need one that specifically mentions displaying car specific information.

If you have Canton I believe you will also need a MOST splitter as the Canton amp is connected using MOST.

Sadly that's one way many people misuse front fogs. The legal position is quite clear, but since it's never enforced it's basically irrelavnt that so many people misuse front fogs as additional main beam.

The whole point of front fogs is that they are lower mounted and hence you get less glare reflected back to the driver. Headlights have to be mounted higher (legal requirement so they can be used when it's not foggy) so any 'fog light function' using only headlights will create more glare back to the driver than lower mounted lights, so I can only see the removal of lower mounted fog lights as a bad move - probably a badly judged cost saving.

In Boston a few years ago I booked a Ford Focus and got ......... a BMW X5!

How many SD card slots? AFAIK an Amundsen always has 2 - one for media and one for maps. Do you have a NAV button? If not then you likely do not have either an Amundsen or a Columbus, which means you would have a unit that does not support navigation.

No, the EA211 engines (like the 1.4) have a cambelt.

The key word is Research-Cell, the time from first research cell to production volumes is unpredictable (and some research cell designs will likely never make it to production because of cost and/or manufacturing issues) - there is even one research cell with an efficiency close to 90% that uses nano-cell technology.

Whatever make and model of tyre they have in the factory at the time it is built that meets their specification.

Post Brexit Kopacek will only ship to the UK items that are accepted by Royal Mail, so as that rear spoiler is too large for Royal Mail they won't ship it to you.

I know, what I meant was that the 20 is a lowline camera, and the A5 is a highline camera.

I don't think the 20 lowline camera supports TSR, only the A5 highline camera.

Front mounted cameras? - I've owned 2 Octavias with 2 different cameras, a 20 lowline camera that only does HBA and an A5 highline camera that does HBA, TSR and lane assist. AFAIK side assist needs addition rear mounted radars and does use any cameras.

I've just received the VRS pedal covers and LED boot (trunk) bulbs from Kopacek. All fitted and working great with no problems. I had the VRS RHD footrest on a previous Octavia, and had a similar problem to @golf2 but only one of the lugs broke off so it was still usable. I have to agree that the material Kopacek use is quite brittle and not really fit for purpose.

That has nothing to do with front assist, the A5 camera is used for lane assist but not front assist.

... except those living in inner city areas with no driveway and having to park on the road. Solutions are being developed and tested for them but are not yet widely rolled out Interesting for those employed on a permanent basis but no help to those on zero hours contracts, self employed or retired. It seems to me that charging and cost solutions are being developed for the "low hanging fruit" of potential EV owners when what is needed is a solution for all drivers if the 2035 deadline is going to be enforced.

The other possible confusion is that VCDS defaults to showing all DTCs, faults and informational, but the default for the VAG dealer tool ODIS is to report only fault DTCs - so a VCDS scan will show informational DTCs that a dealer will not see by default (and hence will deny they exist!).

No you're taking a step too far - Yeomans can write to you because they purchased all of Truscotts assets - including their customer list. Yeomans need to ask your permission to pass on your details to any other company/organisation Having said that it's not uncommon for companies to operate an automatic opt-in system where they assume you have given your permission unless and until you opt-out, so I would contact Yeomans asking to be contacted ONLY for details regarding the servicing of your car (if that's what you want) and for your details NOT to be passed to any third party. My personal experience is that even if assurances are received (in writing or email) that this has been done you might still be contacted in future - I've reported several companies (especially recruitment agencies and car dealerships) to the Information Commissioner for breaching my express instructions regarding communications from them and third parties.

Even things like accidentally setting off the alarm will store fault codes, and there are some fault codes that are more information than an actual fault - so I agree with the above, clear them all and see if any come back after a few days.

If a previous owner had used an OBD11 lead with large pins (common amongst some Chinese products) the contacts on the OBD11 socket could have opened up and not be making contact with your dongle.
