Short answer, yes. Here supply the raw map data to VAG many months before VAG release the maps because it takes them time to convert the raw data into the correct format for their sat nav systems. On the older VAG sat navs (e.g. RNS-D, RNS-E, etc) the map data freeze was August of the preceding year, so October is an improvement!

Sounds like a failing wheel speed sensor to me - all those systems rely on knowing the vehicle speed, so if one (or more) wheel speed sensors fail then that's the Christmas tree you get (I had it on an Octavia last year because of a failed right rear wheel speed sensor).

When I tried that tweak on my previous 1.4TSI with a manual gearbox, ACC and parking assist all hell broke loose as it appears to have changed some of the messages on the CAN bus from the engine ECU so the ABS, ACC and parking ECUs all threw fault codes about missing messages, so I do undo the coding change and turn the ignition off/on a few times which clearing the fault codes.

The parking sensors turn off above a certain speed, so if the wheel speed signal is messed up then it's entirely possible that a parking sensor fault will be reported.

It certainly was 12V whether the car was locked or not on my 2015 Octavia estate.

"Short to GND" means no voltage present where voltage expected - most common cause is a blown fuse, next most common is a broken wire or bad connection, least common is faulty component.

When I had a set of winters and a set of summers I always religiously cleared them of stones etc. and thoroughly washed & dried them before putting them away in tyre bags. Putting away tyres that possibly have contamination from chemicals etc. where you don't regularly see them would seem a bad idea to me. I'm not OCD but I do like to look after my possessions!

The 10% plus 2 mph is at the discretion of individual Chief Constables, some forces have hinted that they might be applying 5% plus 1 mph.

That's how my 2007 RS4 felt with the factory fit Pirelli PZero Rosso tyres 🙄

Try turning WiFi off and back on on your phone, this has fixed CarPlay problems for me a couple of times.

That certainly wasn't true in England, the MOT validity date was extended by 6 months for MOTs due to expire between March 30th 2020, and July 31st 2020 but this was never repeated or extended. Covid MOT Extension

Don't forget that the cornering lights only operate up to a certain speed, so if there is a problem with the speed signal from the ABS then the cornering lights will be disabled.

Sounds to me like the code scanner will most likely show a problem with a wheel speed sensor - all of the systems showing an error need to know vehicle speed to operate correctly so a faulty wheel speed sensor IMHO is the most likely root cause.

As Omniking suggests, go to another dealer - I know from personal experience that there are some truly dreadful Skoda dealers as well as some good ones.

I wouldn't be so sure, as I said above the PS4 and PS4S are, in my experience, very sensitive to alignment - cheaper to get that checked (and corrected if necessary) than buy a whole new set of tyres?

On some older Fords the ignition switch & lock was held onto the key section by thermoplastic clips, so a few moments with a cigarette lighter and the ignition lock disengaged and the switch was free to turn by hand to start the car - got this demonstrated by a member of the Met Police Vehicle Crime Squad!

The previous Octavia 3 managed it, and it wasn't confusing to use?

When I commuted on the M27 (before the 'smart motorway' fiasco) between Southampton and Portsmouth or Southampton and Romsey I counted myself lucky to get to 40mph, so maybe the 60mph limit is of academic concern?

+1 to both of those comments. Dealers will usually only retrofit where the factory offer a complete kit with instructions - and no such kit exists for the halogen to Xenon upgrade. My best experience with uprated (and road legal) halogen bulbs is with Osram Night Breaker Laser bulbs. P.S. Don't go the LED retrofit route as they will be an MOT fail as the halogen headlamps are not marked for approval with any bulb type except halogen.

I had many different tyres on my previous Audi RS4 - by some distance the PS4 and PS4S were the best in terms of grip, ride, handling and lifetime so @The Wandererexperience seems strange to me and suggests something may be amiss such as tracking and alignment (they are very sensitive to tracking and alignment). The other tyres I had were: Pirelli PZero Rosso, Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 5 and Vredestein Sessanta. P.S. The PZeros Rosso' were SO BAD I vowed never to buy another Pirelli tyre again - zero wet grip, unpredictable dry handling and ridiculously short lifetime - even the 'cheapo' Vredesteins were miles better.

That's not the whole truth, if you don't change the battery serial number the BMS will assume the old battery is still fitted and will still try to manage it as such (possibly including load shedding) - after some time (several hundred miles has been mentioned) it will 'twig' that a new battery has been fitted and start learning the new battery characteristics. Changing the serial number will start that relearning immediately.

To be legal Xenon headlamps have to have headlamp washers and self levelling too - so you need to add the headlamp washers, and replace the manual levelling switch with the height sensors and the module to interface to them.

Welcome, I used to live in north Devon and had a 2015 1.4TSI Elegance estate - good choice of location and car 😄

1. There is a button labelled 'PTCD' (in the lower left IIRC) that appears when you are entering a destination. 2. Map updates can be downloaded from the Skoda portal (or from direct links posted on here), make sure you download the Amundsen MIB1 update that includes the UK. I always save the contents of the SD card to a PC hard drive, then quick format the card (FAT32 with 2K cluster size) and having unzipped the downloaded file copy all the unzipped contents onto the SD card. Insert the SD card into either of the SD slots in the glovebox and wait - sometimes I had to remove and reinsert the SD card for the Amundsen to correctly identify it as maps.

Not all of us who are Leo's born with Leo rising have the same approach to life.
