Funny enough, I was just thinking about this. No, not yet. It has not happened again at all over the winter but has happened again now it's got warm. I notice because I have set the electric seat to retract when the door is opened and the seat doesn't retract if it can't sense the door is opened. It's the microswitch in the door I'm certain but to access the microswitch the door card needs to be removed and the inner panel that is riveted to the door needs to be removed. It's a major job to do. I will sort it eventually but it may be a while.

Try this ......

It could be a LED failure, not uncommon.

Only the seat belt warning bongs at regular intervals on my MK2. @Alasdair1 I agree the temperature warning is loud but I suppose after 15 years I am slowly getting used to it. I don't know how to quieten the bong. I got around the "Video In Motion" by adjusting the vehicle speed from turning of the Columbus video displaying from 4mph to 140mph. Maybe using VCDS the temperature warning could be changed to something extreme like 100°C. Kev.

As you have VCDS use that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e9imH68urw From the youtubers comments. - Green zone: newly installed chains and low-mileage cars 0 to -2 deg. - Yellow zone: -2 to -4 deg. Some sources suggest to be alert even if the value is below -3 deg. and monitor the value almost as often as check your oil level - Red zone: -4 deg and less. Be ready to replace the chain. Some people complain about chain noise at these levels, some say it is quiet. Cars are driven with the value from -4 to -6 deg, but this is a lottery. There is also an inspection port on the lower timing chain cover where you can remove the bung and can count the number of teeth exposed. A third method to measure timing chain stretch is to remove the timing chain top cover and when at TDC measure the distance between the timing marks on the camshaft ends. Kev.

There are three ways to check the timing chain is stretched that I know of. I will post up tomorrow as I am too tired now.

Followed @langers2k post dated 04/11/2016 on page 1 of this thread. I could not change the bit as it wasn't saving but I eventually realised if I changed a tick box and changed it back again without saving the change, I could then change the byte 16 bit 1 manually as required and save that change. You will also need an instrument cluster with software that supports the TPMS in the maxidot.

I've sorted it.

How do I use VCDS to change byte 16 bit 1.

@langers2k Then further on you write:- The question I have is:- How do I that manually? I have the same problem @jtdesign had, it won't save in the maxidot. I know I have a 2010 car but I have a later instrument cluster with the latest software installed, so I can activate the maxidot resetting. (Eddie-NL did that for me.) Thanks in anticipation, Kev.

@c9550927 - Only just seen this. Its group 093 not 091. I checked mine recently and recognised the wrong group was being used.

What is the negine code for this 2.0 petrol? Know your car's engine code Engine code and why it's useful to know - Handy Topics & Guides - BRISKODA A stab in the dark guess - timing chain stretched, If your engine has one.

hello, Welcome to the forum.🥳

Not exactly. The brake pad sensor is part of the brake pad. It is as simple as a wire the runs in and out of the brake pad that once broken lights the dashboard warning light. @Nicku196 Can you see a circuit board where the component has snapped? From what I can tell there would have been 8 screws originally. But it appears the wiring enters and exits at the same point. Maybe If you can access the circuit board that may give some identification. I had a look at the manual for a Scout MK2 but can't see anything for the bumper that resembles that part.

This must be wiring between the drivers door and the body of the car. There is a rubber gaitor that covers the wires. Peel the gaitor back and check the wiring. Because of the dual switch in the drivers door power goes to that switch then out again to the passenger side switch. Intermittent then complete failure by reasoning it has got to be the wiring at the point where the wiring is flexed every time the door is opened and closed. Kev.

@Alasdair1 I think @kiktaspiskis is European. 50 Euro's was the dealer quote. Without getting wayward on this topic, the other point I would like to make is the website works. It works to an extent that the whole reason for the pin in the first place has become obsolete.

As your reposting the link I posted earlier - the cost was £10.00. That was June 2024. You need the serial number form the head unit. It took minutes to sort.

I couldn't agree more.

I used https://decodemyradio.co.uk/skoda-radio-codes/ when I needed my radio code. I think it cost a tenner. It was the right code so can't complain. Kev.

I don't know if this is a thing @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits can sort out. @KeithCheetham Where did you get VAG Key from? Is it still available? Kev.

The Estate and Hatchback both use the same floor plan. There is more space in the boot of an Estate only in height.

"Hydrometer" - used for measuring density of liquids the specific gravity. You could also use a "Refractometer". Does the same thing but by differently.

Have you tried pushing the tube on further? There should not be any loose tubing. Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN32XePLHdk

Not strickly true. It depends on the LED and the circuit. However I do agree, ensure the vehicle interior is completely dried out and free of any condensation before appying a fix. If the OP can, take the instrument cluster out and store it somewhere dry and humidity free for a day or two. On top of a desktop computer/server would be my best option but an airing cuboard or some place like that would do.

No. The replacement would need coding with the mileage and the immobiliser code otherwise the car will not start. LED replacement is cheaper.
