RAC wanted to increase my insurance from £383 to £487, with a bit of shopping around I've switched to Aviva for £395.

With VCDS/OBDeleven etc you can delay the boot locking

One Tesla owner even went so far to say he regretting changing from his previous BMW as the BMW dealers were so much better. Tesla need to remember the lesson of how the Japanese car makers grew brand loyalty - in the early days their cars were mediocre and no more reliable than European cars but the Japanese car makers recruited dealers that cared so having them fixed/repaired was a much less painful process.

That's what I thought you meant but wanted to clarify that the firmware needs 'modifying' by a tuner.

Two Tesla owners I know have the answer to that - sack their UK support network and start again. They love the cars when they work, but when they need any repair work their local centres are appalling.

The CPLAY2air dongle I use for Apple CarPlay is great, no issues with speech recognition delay or anything else.

Was that by adaptation change or firmware change? Please give more details.

AFAIK there isn't a level sensor on the AdBlue tank, so the min/max topup values are estimates so don't take them too literally.

Following Dieselgate VAG have removed all the diagnostic tool methods of disabling start/stop.

You use a generic scan tool, and I'm guessing the MOT centre did too? A generic tool usually won't give the detail needed to point to a specific sensor, you really need a scan with a VAG specific tool such as OBD11 or VCDS to give the detail.

Larger wheels = lower profile tyres = harder ride. Depends if your priority is aesthetics or comfort.

I first had ACC 7 years ago, initially I was frustrated when it started to slow down a long way behind a slower vehicle, but now I just take over the accelerator to maintain speed (or slow down gently) and use the extra time it gives me to pull out and overtake safely. Compared to CC on busy British roads it's a game changer IMHO, and I never want to go back to CC again.

If you have a faulty ABS sensor then changing it will fix the problem if it is the source - since we all sem to be going round in circles getting nowhere nearer a theoretical solution then maybe the time has come to try something that has been suggested - provided it doesn't cost too much?

When you have a failing ABS wheel speed sensor it can result in TPMS warnings (since it is an indirect TPMS system that uses the same sensors as the ABS), so it's not a false warning but a warning being reported strangely by the firmware in the ABS system. So as you have been told many times, you must replace the faulty ABS wheel speed sensor on the left hand rear wheel.

I wonder if this is either a PFL vs FL issue, or a post-Dieselgate issue? @FrankNicklin is your Octavia a facelift model (I.e. two headlamps each side)? Mine is a pre-facelift with a single headlamp each side.

I'm guessing by the driver display you mean the letter before the gear number in the top right? How have you setup individual? - there are many settings including those for steering, DSG, ACC, etc. which are all separate.

You will get more response if you type in English. Google translate says:

I run my 16 plate in Individual which is remembered every time, including the DSG in Eco mode.

@Tellsuggested you need a SW version beginning 4 or 5, yours begins 3 - so it's unlikely. If you don't have the Skoda Connect option visible on your infotainment system, then a dongle & SIM will be no use to you.

Original factory fit from 2016. Had a hack done to enable CarPlay so not sure whether I would lose that when updating to the latest compatible version...

If you used VCDS then VCDS keeps a log of all adaptation changes you make in C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Debug in a file called AdpLog.csv (it also keeps a log of all coding changes in CodingLog.csv in the same folder). So if you open that file in e.g. Notepad you will be able to see the changes you have made including the before and after values.

My MIB2 Amundsen is on series 2 train.

Which makes me ask: - can an FL MIB2 Amundsen be EASILY retrofitted to a PFL model? - how can you tell the difference between a PFL MIB2 Amundsen and an FL MIB2 Amundsen, is there an obvious part number suffix change?
