Depending on what the BMS thinks the battery state of charge is the voltage at idle or when driving can be anywhere between about 12V and 14.5V

Not only on the NDLR, also on the old A361 between the villages.

I'm not sure that is true of all service buses, when living in South Molton it was pretty normal to find a service bus (not a coach) doing well over 50mph on the roads between there and both Barnstaple and Tiverton.

So are you using an Apple certified cable?

Unless you have an iPhone 15 the cable will be different for an Android phone, as up to iPhone 14 they have a Lightning socket not a USB-C? CarPlay and Android Auto are enabled using different FEC codes so it's entirely possible for one to work and the other not.

I fitted these from Kopacek on my previous Octavia estate with no problems.

... the electrical auxiliary pump which can run even when the engine is turned off.

Best way to check whether the oil pressure is OK is to temporarily fit a genuine mechanical oil pressure gauge.

That makes them not being truthful as putting green energy onto the Grid is absolutely NOT the same as being supplied exclusively with green energy. So many people have little or no understanding of how the Grid works that companies can get away with telling untruths, even some Chartered Electrical Engineers I have worked with don't understand the difference.

With BT this also means that if you have a Home Hub they have to replace it with a Smart Hub as the Home Hub does not have an analogue phone socket. My GF recently had this swap done by a BT "Engineer" who knew nothing about the other package BT had sent of a new BT TV (now EE TV) box and another Smart Hub - so they are both still boxed as delivered and sitting in a cupboard!

Unless you have a separate connection from the green generator then this statement is always untrue. The National Grid cannot guarantee that green generated electricity goes to customers paying a green tariff, all they can guarantee is that you are paying to put green energy ONTO the National Grid but cannot guarantee that you will be SUPPLIED with green energy.

Battery off load voltage is not a good indication of battery condition - an old battery that has high internal resistance can still read 12V off load but be unable to start the engine.

My new house is on an estate that was built with FTTH, BUT my GF lives in Bradford-on-Avon where there is rotating chaos as the roads are dug up (mostly by Gigaclear contractors) to lay fibre to EVERY property. The chaos they cause is a matter of much "comment" locally and even more frustration as they keep returning to roads where they have not completed the work when they first dug up the road. Oh and they don't always cleanup their spoil - they left a pile of road rubble outside my GFs house which only got taken away after a complaint to the local council and Gigaclear.

Doesn't mean a lot - the temperature gauges show 90 for aa wide range of temperatures, as VAG got too many owners going back to dealers saying the water temperature had gone up/down by a few degrees which is normal.

During a month long power outage in Fleet Hampshire a few years ago the local Honda garage ran their petrol & diesel pumps from Honda generators...

AFAIK the 1.4TSI Octavia 3 never had an engine cover in its Skoda form - the only cover I could find was a VW one - so I'm not sure that's the reasin an engine cover is fitted.

Unless you have DCC the whole suspension system is purely mechanical so there are no electronic diagnostics! So running a diagnostic scan would be a total waste of time and money.

I think all political parties are quite content to "kick that can down the road" because of concerns about upsetting voters until it becomes an economic necessity.

It's a question of getting accees to the servo motor on the side of the heater. I've only had to work on the LHS were access is relatively easy after dropping the glovebox so can't comment on the RHS.

Your terminology is confused. The screen in the centre console is just that, a screen and nothing more. The main unit is in the glovebox and contains ALL the "intelligence". Both Amundsen and Columbus have sat nav. You appear to have a 2020 model so unless the infotainment experts say otherwise I THINK your screen will work with a Columbus main unit - but best to get @pab567to confirm that. Since all the intelligence is in the main (glovebox) unit you'll need to check a Columbus replacement has the features you currently have enabled via SWaP AND it will need the coding and adaptation channels set to match your car - it's NOT plug'n'play without the help of an expert.

Trunk frozen shut by water/ice?

A2DP is a Blutooth protocol to establish a connection, it's not related AFAIK to the audio codec used once that connection is established. Having said that, I seem to remember that one of the codecs which the Amundsen supports is AAC (I believe there's a table on here and possibly in the Amundsen manual) that lists the supported codecs - which codec is currently selected on your phone? I'm worried we might be "disappearing down a rabbit hole" here...

I'm pretty sure that still means you're using Android Auto. Is the phone properly paired with the car via Bluetooth? Worth checking the Bluetooth connections/setup menu on the Amundsen? Can you play music from the phone onto the car?

Yes, I have a iPhone. Can't offer any advice on Android as I've never owned one. Android Auto is very much still alive. If you're connecting your Android phone to your Amundsen using a USB cable then you're using Android Auto!

Have you also got "Play as Bluetooth phone call" set? I find this often gets cleared after a Google maps app update.
