Cheers… I’ll report back later this morning (it’s 05.28 and dark!).

Don’t think Skoda Connect is good for anything, but it might work in your case!

Thanks for the info mate. No idea what the part number is one our 280. I’ll see if I can find it in a VCDS log which I collected a few weeks ago.

Didn’t with mine.

Fantastic! Thank you Gizmo! 👍🏻

I’ve tried searching without luck, so would someone kindly post the coding to enable the whiskers to operate with the DLR’s please? We have a 2016 L&K with them fitted. Many thanks in advance.

Yep. I noticed it at the bottom of the very long down hill section of the A6 Glen Shane Road, going from Derry to Belfast, between the Ponderosa and Oak Leaf restaurants. It drops about 800 feet in 3 miles. Having read all your suggestions, I guess it could be hot fluid related rather than a mechanical problem, as a couple of miles on and it had gone.

The front and rear anti-roll bar bushes are creaking and squeaking like billyo again, having been replaced just a year ago under warranty; I now fear sleeping Policepersons! 😁

Good. Just be vary careful and gentle; you want the trim to go round the curve, not off it!

Thanks Wino and Chazzy. Hmmmm. So the same single pot brake calipers are used on a 1.4 Kodiaq (and no doubt others) and a 280? I raised the question following driving on one long downhill stretch of road, and there was definitely brake fade, which was quite worrying. I note the Mk7 R has practically the same caliper.. well, it’s a single pot floating unit, which I’d doubt is any more effective. I’ll investigate options for replacements.

No one?

I’ll check the last scan I did of the 280 and see if I can find it. It’s a December ‘15 build ‘16MY car, so I suppose it could have either.

Great.

If there’s a “visible blockage” (presume it’s a clear pipe then?) and this can be unblocked, wouldn’t it be better to find out the cause, given they’ve unblocked it before? Does the £200+ they’ve quoted for the motor include the removal/ installation labour, or is that another £100/150?

Get a soft block of wood, like pine, about 10cm long and 3cm wide, place it on the end of the trim and gently tap it with a rubber mallet. It only needs to be moved about 3 to 4mm.

@AndyCr15 Have you reset the head to factory? Have you now downloaded the manuals? I ask as they’re a lot easier to view than fumbling with a physical book. You’ll need the Infotainment manual too.

What model system is fitted? If it’s a Columbus it’s Press the key CAR → Settings→ Factory settings. Trip counter reset is on the bar just above the steering column. Have you downloaded the owners handbook?

After my recent experiences with the main dealer system in England, Northern Ireland and Eire vs a local independent, I’ll never use the network again.

Bloody annoying.

As per my profile - 2016 280

I made-up that example of predictive text. You can turn it off on an iPhone. While editing any text, touch and hold or . Tap Keyboard Settings, then turn off Predictive. No idea if you can do the same with a droid unit. Did you get any further with finding a solution to your KESSY issue?

Are the front brake calipers on the 280 a single or dual pot unit?

I changed the profile to Audi without any problems.

During a chat at the weekend with a Master VW tech at a social event, I asked if there was any adjustments or way to change the shift pattens on the DSG and he assured me all the YT Vids and posts re. a so-called DSG reset are nonsense; it’s not possible, even with their factory equipment.

Well that shot down that idea. Yes, predictable texture is a pain in the Netherland regions…
