Headlight adjustment for France?
softscoop replied to sandspider's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
You can flatten the beam so you won't dazzle when driving on the wrong side of the road with this guide. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/280456-european-headlight-adjustment-octy-ii-fl-halogen-lights/ -
Yes they are identical

Bluetooth Phone Module Upgrade
softscoop replied to tetley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
In your phone Bluetooth settings disable SIM Access and see if it still works in hands free only mode. -
Bluetooth Phone Module Upgrade
softscoop replied to tetley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Thee are no 4G Bluetooth modules as they are all too old to support it. You should be able to just set the Bluetooth module to hands free rather than premium. It won't then take over the SIM and will just use the phones connection and act as a more traditional hands free. If you have the multi function steering wheel, on the maxidot screen, go into Phone menu, then settings and change from Premium to hands free. You can also disable SIM Access on your phone's Bluetooth settings, that should do the same trick. -
No it's a completely different shape to the dashboard and the connections are different. Anything from a newer Skoda will not fit. You'll need an after market double din unit to fit a MK1 Fabia.

Loud clunk/knock when driving over bumps
softscoop replied to MenDetBlirLugnt's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Worn drop links can cause exactly this. Luckily they are not expensive and are easy to change DIY. -
Abs eps tpm after changing wheels.

Found the link. Have a look and see if you can find anyone near you. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262215-list-of-vcds-owners-previously-known-as-vag-com-vcp-owners/ -
Abs eps tpm after changing wheels.
softscoop replied to Davidoff1234's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Those generic obd readers cannot access the abs module unfortunately. See if you can find a local member who has a VCDS cable. That can do a full diagnostic scan of all the modules. There is a thread on here with a map of users, I'll see if I can dig it out. -

softscoop replied to Davidoff1234's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
When changing the wheels the suspension will have obviously dropped much lower than it would do when sat on the wheels. One of the abs cables could have been damaged at this point. -
Headlight switch functons
softscoop replied to paulkennedy's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
That's normal behaviour. Depending on how the car is coded and whether it has a rain/light sensor leaving the lights in the on position can be used for coming and leaving home, where the lights stay on for a number of seconds when you unlock or lock the car. -
Rns510/Columbus to RNS315 -BT microphone
softscoop replied to softscoop's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I should be able to get a picture of the connections later on. Am I right in thinking though that if I am keeping the standard BT rather than using the inbuilt in the RNS315 it should use the standard microphone connection? -
My original fit Columbus is on its last legs, rebooting itself, DVD drive whirs away sounding like a plane taking off then gives an error message every 15 min or so etc, so time to replace it. I mostly listen to the radio, and I'm really not bothered about phone integration beyond Bluetooth for calls and maybe music streaming, so I've bought myself an RNS315 DAB that was going cheap. It all works as it should, however I'm not sure what to do with the Bluetooth. I left the original BT module connected under the seat, and my phone paired fine to it. It appeared correctly on the screen and in the maxidot etc, however when I made a call, I could hear fine, but the other end couldn't hear me. The RNS315 has the Mac address populated on the sticker so I assume that it has built in BT. When I disconnected the BT module and rebooted it, it said that phone was not available. I couldn't see anyway of activating the built in BT. Do I need to code the RNS BT to activate with vcds, or is the separate BT module better? Do I need to do anything with the wiring for the microphone, or is it a setting somewhere? From reading other threads @pab567 seems to be one of the most knowledgeable on this these days. Any help appreciated.

Sounds like you have the basic greenline spec, rather than the elegance greenline, so the halogen headlights are correct.
-
The green line was available with a few trims. Do you have leather seats, Columbus satellite navigation and dual zone automatic climate control?
-
The chrome cap is fitted to cover the gap on cars without headlight washer. Auto lights don't necessarily mean xenon lights. Only the elegance and L&K trims got the adaptive xenon lights fitted as standard.
-
What trim level is your car? Also, do you have the headlight heigh adjustment control next to the light switch? The halogen units look like they have washers fitted just like the xenon units, but it's just a blank plate.

MK1 Fabia with MK2 Fabia VRS Seats possible?
softscoop replied to TXM-45's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Yes the backs fit as well, although you might also need the seatbelt buckles. I think the original buckle will still work, but I think it was angled differently so would fit the hole in the seat base better. They're only 1 bolt to undo. -
Unlocking doors from inside from the unlock switch
softscoop replied to xPetio's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I had exactly the same with my Superb when I bought it, and it was just down to the unlock button being faulty. Replaced it with a new one and it worked fine. -
I fitted a set of 16" 5 spoke that were standard on the lower spec Mk7 Golfs to mine, and I think they suit the Superb quite well.
-
Is the plate a nice coincidence? Never been sure how private plates work over there.

Xenon D1S 35w 12v bulb vs. 85v blub
softscoop replied to bobthesponge's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Both 85v and 12v are technically correct. All D1S bulbs are HID and are thus high voltage at the bulb. The ballast on the inside of the headlight unit boosts the voltage from the car's 12v up to the required voltage. Unlike a halogen bulb, a HID bulb will not run directly on a 12v source, it needs the ballast/driver to work. Both of those bulbs linked will work in your car. -
Are hatch and estate headlamps the same?

Yes they are identical. -
MK1 Fabia with MK2 Fabia VRS Seats possible?
softscoop replied to TXM-45's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
If you're talking about mk2 Fabia vRS seats, then they will bolt straight in to a mk1 Fabia with no modifications. I presume that sepulchrave thought you were talking about mk2 Octavia vRS seats, which as he said will not fit in a Fabia. -
What does the port do in my 2007 Fabia MK1 glovebox?
softscoop replied to WHLDJOKER's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Posting a picture will help as the MK1 Fabia didn't have any kind of USB input as standard. The only thing that I think could look remotely like a USB in the glovebox is a key slot to deactivate the passenger airbag, if it had that option fitted.
