It differs from model to model, it might help if you said what model you had a mk II of ?

I share your pain, as do many others https://media.rac.co.uk/pressreleases/a-glaring-problem-rac-calls-for-action-on-headlight-glare-as-eight-in-10-drivers-affected-say-problem-is-getting-worse-3296130 Lighting technology has come on leaps and bounds, and its not necesarrily to the good. last night i thought a set of green traffic lights bright enough to impair my vision of everything else

Anybody else having to top up regularly - not frequently, but regularly. The car is (currently 😉 ) dealer serviced and I'm convinced they put in as little as they know they can get away with, I don't think it's gone from one service to another without needing a top up, two or three hundred ml seems to do the job, probably talking just over a litre over 20,000

150 hp 1.5 petrol (ACT, so 504 00) on fixed servicing, Oil changed last June. Depending on where I park it outside the house the oil is near the top or the bottom of the hatched area on the dipstick. I've put half a litre in and I'll probably end up putting the other half in when I can check it on the flat,at work tomorrow

Any idea what quantity of oil is represented by the difference of the top and bottom markings on the dipstick on a 1.5 l petrol engine ? The 'check oil level' warning came on whilst i was driving last night, and didn't go out when I stopped and restarted the engine, but hasn't come on today. There is oil in the marked area on the dipstick, but there's absolutely nowhere round home that's flat, I'll have to wait until i'm back in the office tomorrow, and i do have a litre of oil available but I don't want to over fill it

They are USB-C connectors in my Scala, and remarkably flimsy, my phone disconnects from android auto far too often for comfort, and the media player seems to revert to the first track on the USB stick if you as much as give the USB stick a stern look......

now i'm back commuting to the office, 20 miles of 50mph limited motorway every day, I've become more aware of the 'distance warning' popping up every now and then. I'm baffled it doesn't seem to have any sort of audible warning, as you'd have to be staring at the dashboard to notice it, and in heavy traffic i'd rather be looking at what's in front of me. Can anybody confirm if it should have an audible warning or not, is there a menu option to turn it on I've not been able to find ?

As per the attached picture, what does it actually turn on/off?

... Its not 'audio' or any of those things, but i'm posting here as it's not model specific so the app records your journeys, and in the app itself, you can see a visual representation of that journey as a map. does anyone know how that data is held, and if it can be exported (there is an export option, and it exports start and end location, but not, as far as i can see, route information) I've looked on my phone for any obvious locations where the app might be storing its data, and i've looked for files of the type I would expect to find routing data in, .gpx etc, but can't find any. I've been places recently where I've thought 'where the heck have I just been ?'

Anybody any idea whta this might be, i found it in the rear door pocket my my new (to me 😉 ) Scala. It has an audi logo on the inside, and a part number I cant make out

Plenty of ghost cars around here today....

so in brief., how would you translate 'glaikit wee scunner' ?

What Paulski said, I had to do mine a few months ago, I seem to remember the replacement was about £25 and the job didn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes

thanks, i'd never have found it

I want to check the pollen filter, as there is much more condensation when starting the car than i would expect, can anybody confirm where it is, is it the same configuration as a Rapid. I had a quick youtube search and couldn't find anything for the Scala. found a couple of spectacularly bad Fabia ones - here's scene of a car interior with an arrow pointing to the glovebox, then a real closeup of a filter being removed with no idea of how to get from one to the other

it was an 8 year old amundsen....

woo hoo, thanks chaps, new stick just arrived and it all works. selecting music seems much easier than it was on the octavia, so that's a bonus

It should be locked when the car is. Check and lubricate the locking mechanism, does it spring out if you press it in, does it move or rotate when you lock/unlock the car ?

Oooooooh, never looked at that until now. I've dug out a USB-c USB-a converter cabled and a Cruzer memory stick, but no joy, not recognized in either of the usb sockets, but flipping check, USB-c memory sticks seem ridiculously cheap atm

it does, but ('scuse my ignorance), how would i play the music

I used to have an SD card in the Amundsen in my Octavia, very useful on holiday trips to France and Germany when whatever the locals are broadcasting doesn't quite meet our tastes. I've now got a Scala, with Bolero and android auto, what would be the best and most elegant way of playing music off my phone if I stuck it all on there ?

or I'm too busy stopping frequently delivering parcels/food / cleaning bins / looking for thenext pickup so i'll just leave them on all the time, 'cos that covers me for all options and means i don't have to bother taking my eyes off my phone to look in my mirror

what depth of tread have you got left, and what sort of tyres are they ? I still have 5mm of tread left after 11k

You say 'oil warning' Oil level or oil pressure warning ? if the latter, you may need to do more than just top it up

@Britunculus do let us know what you find that fits. I miss the underseat pockets from the Octavia (I wonder if i could have kept them and swapped them in ?)
