Swing infotaiment wiring
There is no such thing as Android Car Play, as I have already described!

Car ticking noise
Or just jack a wheel up and rotate a wheel by hand while listening.

Swing infotaiment wiring
??? If you have an Android phone then it's Android Auto. If you have an Apple phone then it's Apple Car Play.

Stone trapped between the brake disc and shield?

Your photobucket image shows as "currently unavailable" - are the permissions set to public?

Wind deflectors.
I second HEKO having had them on my last 4 cars.

3p per mile for EV and 1.5p per mile for hybrids
Still not comment on mileage done whilst not in the UK. IMHO charging an EV owner for mileage done abroad is just as immoral as charging an ICE owner UK fuel duty for fuel purchased abroad.

What is the experience of other CUNA engined Octavia 3 VRS 2.0TDI owners? I don't remember reading a lot of threads here on the subject of high oil consumption?

12V error, 48V error, driveshaft failure, loss of drive
You raised the question of battery modules in your opening post - so you have to expect some discussion on the subject?
-
12V error, 48V error, driveshaft failure, loss of drive
I guess it depends on the construction of the 48V battery, if it's a sealed assembly (most likely) then it has to be replaced as a whole. Way back in 1988 the phone batteries I was designing in had modules, but they were not individually replaceable and AFAIK that's still true for a 2025 iPhone?

panne de l'infodivertissement suite à une mise à jour
Welcome, the language of this forum is English - please post only in English. Google Translate says.... I have a 2023 Octavia 4, petrol, 1.5L 150 hp, Business trim. During an update in early November, the central screen went off, the radio stopped working, the warning lights stayed on, and the reversing sensors stopped working... Even disconnecting and reconnecting the battery makes the screen come back on for a few minutes but then go off again...

2025 Skoda Octavia: Can the Coasting/Neutral Roll Feature Be Disabled?
I turn start/stop off when at a side junction turning onto a fast road, this eliminates the engine start time and makes for a safer quick entry onto the main road.

Battery change
Provided your current battery is an AGM, and the Ah capacity of both batteries is the same (or very similar) then you will not have any issues if you don't recode. The BMS will learn the new battery characteristics more slowly than if recoded but that's all.

Car jerking during heavy rain
Pulling to the right suggests a right side wheel is being braked - either because a right side sensor is reporting too fast OR because a left side sensor is reporting too slow.
-
Car jerking during heavy rain
That rain sensor on the windscreen is only for the auto wipers, so that will have no effect on the brakes. I suspect that one or more of the wheel speed sensors is being affected by the rain.

Heated Mirrors
The key point is that Skoda have always had the heated mirrors controlled by the mirror switch not the heated rear window switch.
