3,100kg is still pretty close to the limit on a standard post-1996 UK licence of 3,500kg - so any "extra load" version that Tesla might introduce would have a more limited market in the UK.

I had Eagle F1s on a previous RS4 - they were MUCH better than the OE Pirelli P Zeros, and good enough for me to confidently drive on snow and ice - so I wouldn't write them off that quickly, but it's your car so it's your call.

I'd go for All-Season tyres - otherwise you'll be back in the Spring having to buy a new set of wheels for Summer tyres!

Just get Winter, or possibly a better choice All-Season, tyres in the same basic spec (width, profile, load rating, speed rating) as your existing tyres.

Even if the Cybertruck is an F350 competitor it's still mighty heavy F350 5,878-8,132 lbs (2.624 - 3.630kg)

Sounds like you need a MIB2 or MIB2.5 Columbus to get a CD drive. As for the multi-changer, dream on - AFAIK they have never been available in the Octavia 3.

Looks like a problem with the servo motor controlling the RHS temperature mixing flap - either jammed in the cold position or a problem with the motor itself.

That's just the screen, the "intelligence" is in the unit it the glovebox/

If the MIB3 architecture is the same as the MIB2 architecture then the screen is just that, only a screen, and the "intelligence" (and coding) is in the glovebox unit.

Yes.

Might also be worth posting in the relevant Superb forum if you haven't already done so.

I'm already using 2110 which I guess should really be described as the 2023/2024 update? Hope VW or Skoda sort themselves out and post the 'real' 2024 update sometime soon.

Any sign of the MIB2 Amundsen 2024 map update yet? Usually it appears around November.

11L/100km equates to 25mpg UK. The only times I've got fuel consumption that bad in a car was in either a 4.2L V8 RS4 or a 1.8T S3 that had been hugely over-boosted (never in an Octavia not even when in London traffic), so if that's a genuine figure then given your temperatures in the low to mid 20's Celsius it doesn't look right. Either you have a heavy right foot or maybe something like a binding brake or other mechanical problem.

CC or ACC?

The spec of Octavia IV models has changed regularly, often the reason given is component shortages (also the reason given for some VERY long delivery delays).

So successful that the VED revenue dropped so much (as manufacturers found ways to get meaningless in the real world low CO2 test results and purchasers followed) they had to reverse it!

... but you knew those changes were irrelevant because the fault existed before them - something you didn't mention until a later post I'm out.

Try looking at all your rear bulbs too, when I looked at the Leuchte channels on my Octavia it looked like there could be an error which reports a faulty rear bulb (can't remember which one) as a front left sidelight.

Then mentioning those changes was irrelevant and not helpful - you should simply have mentioned that the problem existed beforehand.

Then it's best to carry on this discussion in that original thread, since something you did there has caused the problem so the context is VERY importaant.

My previous 2008 Citroen C1 had EU4 109g/km emissions and cost £20 per year, its replacement was a 2020 Toyota Aygo (badge engineered version of the same car) had EU6.2 99g/km emissions but cost £150 per year. Oh and my previous 2015 1.4TSI Octavia had 129g/km emissions but only cost £30 per year, so for a period I had a car with lower emissions having Road Tax that was 5 times as much!!! The difference? - Road Tax changes by politicians in the years between 2008 and 2020.

What happened to make the menu item disappear? Any coding/adaptation changes to 5F, any fault codes showing in 5F when scanned with e.g. VCDS or OBDeeven?

I've always bought my Skoda SD cards off ebay - just check it is genuine and is really is a 64GB one (I had one seller mis-describe a 32GB one as a 64GB one, sent it back for a full refund).

The sidelight bulbs in my Octavia with Bi-Xenon headlights are W5W halogens.
