  1. IIRC whether it's ignition powered or permanent is country dependent - in the same way that the 12V socket on the previous Octavia was country dependent.
  2. PetrolDave replied to mtony's topic in Tyres & Wheels
    And while it's off read the part number on the wheel.
  3. If at least 2 of the programs are on the same transponder (same frequency and polarisation) then there's no hardware reason why they can't be recorded together. When I was working on the system software for the Sky+ box we had long discussions with Sky about the unnecessary restrictions in the EPG software (which they wrote) on recording more than 2 programs simultaneously.
  4. Try this which works for me: Controller 09 – Central Electronics 16 - Security Access - enter 31347 10 - Adaptations IDE01268-ENG116609-Windshield wiper-Anzahl Betaetigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung – change to 10 IDE01268-ENG116610-Windshield wiper-SRA Verzoegerungszeit - 0 ms default, change to 2000ms (delay before headlamp washer activates) IDE02168-ENG115766-Windshield wiper-SRA Waschzeit – change to600 ms IDE02168-ENG115767-Windshield wiper-SRA Einweichpausenzeit – change to 2000 ms IDE01268-ENG115768-Windshield wiper-SRA Nachwaschzeit – change to 1100 ms IDE012168-ENG116611-Windshield wiper-SRA Pausenzeit – change to 0 ms IDE01268-ENG115769-Windshield wiper-SRA bei Waschwassermangel – change to not active
  5. I think it's time to stop guessing and get a fault code scan done rather than throw the parts cannon at the problem. See VCDS Owners for a list of friendly briskoda VCDS and VCP owners who can help doing a fault code scan without having to pay a dealer.
  6. The TPMS uses wheel speed sensors so that's a 'sympathy' fault code, I think it's pretty safe to assume that there's a problem with the left rear wheel speed sensor OR the wiring to it. If you have Park Assist make sure you get the correct wheel speed sensor as it's different.
  7. In the UK 95 is now up to 10% ethanol and 98 is up to 5% ethanol, I don't know for sure but I can't see why 98 with up to 10% ethanol would be a problem?
  8. What make are the batteries? The remotes are very sensitive to battery manufacturer, it seems it;s not just about voltage but also internal construction/resistance. Delaers use Panasonic CR2025 AFAIK.
  9. Really easy to setup, it's been on two cars now and performs with no issues for me.
  10. Car was just out of warranty but still with full Skoda dealer service history when: 1) a parking sensor failed, was told cost would be in excess of £200 to get correct sensor fitted and painted, I said it should not have failed in normal use and after dealer had discussion with Skoda UK they agreed to cover the full cost. 2) right rear wheel speed sensor failed (car had Park Assist so correct sensor required) cost was quoted at £500, I argued this was excessive for a wheel speed sensor so again delaer got OK from Skoda UK to pay half the cost.
  11. That's not my experience - in the last 5 years I've had 'goodwill' repairs done by the Skoda dealers in Barnstaple and near Trowbridge, and the Toyota dealers in Barnstaple & Trowbridge. Even though it usually costs more I always have my cars serviced at a dealer whilst under warranty and then switch to a word-of-mouth recommended local independent.
  12. The warranty yes, but in the event there are any 'goodwill' campaigns you will likely miss out on those if you don't have a full Skoda service history.
  13. Same here with my 1.8TSi and DQ200, on moving off it almost immediately changes into 2nd.
  14. AFAIK there are no coding or adaptation settings in the BMS for the SOC target and hence have to assume that it's hard coded.
  15. For summer tyres what about Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 6? I've been very happy with the earlier versions on both an Audi RS4 and an Octavia Elegance. Both my Octavia's have come on Continental PremiumContact which I really don't rate - even with only a 1.4 & a 1.8 it's just too easy to spin a front wheel even with the highest level of XDS set.
  16. Spoof "Police Aware" maybe?
  17. I'm told that those who go on the school run prefer SUVs because of the higher sitting position and the perception that they will perform better in a crash - so the car makers are designing and building what a large chuck of potential customers appear to want.
  18. For one that definitely works with CarPlay, I've been using this one for over 2 years now https://cplay2air.com/en-gb
  19. Then it sounds like the FeC code that activates CarPlay has somehow been lost since AA works but uses a different FeC code.
  20. Two things to try: - another iPhone in your car, to see if CarPlay is still enabled in your MIB - your iPhone in another car with known working CarPlay These are to work out if the problem is your new iPhone or whether the MIB has lost the FeC code for CarPlay (it's not the same FeC code as for AA)
  21. I run the public beta versions of iOS and have no problems with CarPlay, so I suspect a setup problem not a MIB or iOS problem. Have you checked Settings, General, CarPlay on your iPhone?
  22. True, but arguing as a new member won't make you many 'friends' - best to just move on and stick with trying to solve the problem you asked about.
  23. Do NZ octane ratings use the US or UK system? UK system is the average of MON and RON ratings but US ratings are just MON - so 91 octane US = 95 octane UK, and 93 octane US = 98 octane UK.
  24. Not just written but also spoken English on phone calls, media, etc. - to me it seems we are becoming the 51st state of the United States of America when it comes to language and culture.
