Discs and pads
We seem to have gone off topic here as we're in the Octavia 3 forum (which doesn't have EPB) and Gammyleg has a Superb which does have EPB.

Skoda Rapid 2017 integrated Satnav not receiving TMC traffic messages.
IIRC TMC is a subscription service, maybe Skoda UK haven't renewed the subscription?

No Mk3 Octavia has EPB.

Wind noise
Very unlikely I would have thought, aren't the doors a different shape and size?

EV real world range and cost to charge
Pretty much what my GFs eldest son says about his Tesla - faults not getting fixed and the sparse dealer network not remotely interested in helping fix problems.

Hi
My ex had a Mk1 Fabia 1.2HTP 16V which would drive pretty well provided you gave it revs rather than using the non-existent low end torque.

Skoda configurator.
You're better off asking in the Octavia 4 forum, where owners of the Mk4 visit - and they'll know better than us Mk3 owners 👍

2017 Sat Nav Question
... assuming the card is large enough for the current map data. I've had to upsize to a 32GB card from the 16GB card that came with my 2016 model.

Lots of errors on dash
Did you mean "are NOT"?

2017 Sat Nav Question
1. Look for the soft key labelled PTCD - very shorthand for PosTCoDe 2. I'm guessing you have an Amundsen sat nav as that reads the maps directly off the SD card. You can download newer maps from the Skoda portal (or using the links posted on here), but you MUST use a genuine Skoda SD card. I get mine off a well known auction site as the dealer price is ridiculous IMHO.

Skoda dealerships on the way out...?
Already happened in Barnstaple - Marshalls is one showroom and workshop for VW, Audi and Skoda (not sure about SEAT and Cupra).

No "single trip" data, on trip computer?
Simple answer, no.

More vRS tyre musings!
Correct, there's only one Quattro - all the other Audi AWD vehicles are quattro with either Torsen or haldex (haldex if transverse engine and, until recently, Torsen if longitudinal engine).
-
More vRS tyre musings!
Sadly that's not accurate, the S4/RS4/S5/RS5 (and others) quattro versions didn't have haldex they had Torsen. So quattro does not mean haldex.

Still could be Mk2 or Mk3. Look at the VIN plate in the windscreen, and post that here (omit the last 7 digits if you prefer).

Cornering light separate bulb?
Only the vRS has two fog light bulbs, all other models have a single fog light bulb (which also acts as the cornering light).

There's a very confusing example of prioité à droite on the riverside road in Amboise - you're happily driving along the riverside road when suddenly one of the side turnings coming out of the town centre has prioité à droite so you have give way lines in front of you! Always keep your eyes open and expect the unexpected!!!
