I'm very risk averse, hence why I use the key wallet - having said that as @GreenMachine1.6 pointed out Skodas are nowhere near the top of the list of most stolen cars so I'm not going to lose any sleep over the risk - I'll just be vigilant in putting the keys into the wallet.

Most likely the front assist radar module has been moved slightly and needs recalibrating.

... or one of the metal lined key wallets, this is what I use.

Yes, just asked a different dealer who provided it straight away!

When I asked for the Service Record of a 1 year old Skoda I had just purchased from the Skoda dealer near Southampton they refused to give it to me because of concerns over Data Protection legislation - which is ridiculous!!!

Tell your phone to 'forget' the car WiFi?

There have been many examples of a vehicle passing the MOT but not meeting a legal requirement posted on here over the years, so it's no great surprise. One example - fitting LED or HID bulbs into a projector headlamp only certified for halogen bulbs usually gets an MOT pass but is technically not legal.

Small I would say, and the balance error suggests that not all have gone bad - but which one(s) are bad? Easier maybe to just get all four injectors tested...

See this reply earlier...

You're right, my 66YO memory lets me down often now

VW stop issuing updated maps 5 years after production of the infotainment system ends. The MIB1 systems went out of production in mid 2015 so they stopped issuing map updates after 2020, I found this out when my previous Octavia had a MIB1 Amundsen. The maps are a format specific to the Amundsen (and the equivalent VW, Audi and SEAT infotainment systems) and I never managed to find any third party or individual able to create newer maps.

On the front and rear suspension, offside on RHD cars IIRC.

Well said 👏

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.

And while it's off read the part number on the wheel.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Really easy to setup, it's been on two cars now and performs with no issues for me.

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.

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.

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.
