Mine was the offside rear wheel speed sensor which is integrated into the wheel bearing so it was £500 at Marshalls Barnstaple. Not sure about the cost if it is a front wheel speed sensor - you need a proper scan to know which wheel speed sensor is faulty.

As I said in the Octavia 4 forum:

That's perfectly normal for all Octavia 3's - it's the battery management system operating as designed to keep the battery state of charge to 80% to allow headroom for some minor regenerative braking.

Sounds like a Mark 4 Octavia specific issue as I use Google maps and Waze with CarPlay in my Mark 3 Octavia with no problems.

If you enter your VIN onto the Skoda update portal you can download a file with lots of station logos.

I prefer VCDS, yes you have to learn about details of the changes, but at least you know what you're doing and VCDS keeps logs of all the changes to coding and adaptations so if you make a mess you can fairly easily revert back.

... according to the diagnostics, but as some of those 'calculations' are not based on measured data but estimated the values may not reflect reality especially if there have been other sources of soot/ash i.e. engine oil.

Sounds like you need to take a thorough look at the Leuchte adaptations in the BCM, these control the lighting and it sounds like they could have been messed with.

Intrigued why the 1.5ACT cambelt change would be so much more than a 1.4 non-ACT since they are both an EA211 engine?

Typically the change of manufacturing takes place during the summer factory closure, which would mean that the facelift would be a MY24 available in autumn/fall 2023.

One of the reasons that cars have 3 rear brake lights - the CHMSL (centre high mounted stop light) was introduced so that it's easy to tell the difference between rear side lights, rear for lights and brake lights. If a following driver cannot see the third light coming on when the brakes are applied, then you have to question whether they should be driving at all...

I've never bought the nav SD card for an Amundsen from a dealer, always from eBay. Just got a 32GB one so I can use the 'all Europe' maps on my MIB2, cost? £26.09

I use this with my MIB2 Amundsen to get wireless CarPlay.

I think you're going to have to be the guinea pig here...

It's the same kind of display (but not as nice) on the Octavia 3, it extrapolates between the side sensors as you drive slowly along searching for a suitable space.

16? On the Mk3 Octavia Park Assist only had 12 sensors, 4 front, 4 rear and 2 on each side (one by the front & one by the rear wheel arches).

What's the level of fuel in the tank, some owners have reported that when around 3/4 full they hear fuel banging around in the tank.

By way of getting the DPF clogged up, by producing extra oil ash.

I have used Tayna for every new car battery I have needed for over 15 years, always a good price and quick delivery.

It's at the top of the Octavia 3 forum opening page here

Agreed, but coming back to your car to find it standing on a pile of bricks or wood is even more of a pain.

Nope, format was exFAT.

I used Firefox with no problems a couple of years ago. @raspoutinewhat browser are you using?

What you have is an Amundsen - named after the Norwegian polar explorer. 1) CP is component protection, it has nothing to do with an extra connector. It's a system used by VAG to make stolen units harder to sell, clearing Component Protection requires either an online connection to the VAG servers or having a unit hacked. 4) A MIB2 unit can do Android Auto and CarPlay but requires the correct FEC (Feature Enabling Code) for your car (they are car specific), again either online access or hacking required.
