Has my local garage ruined my snow monster?
You're overthinking this here. You already had a diff / haldex unit and sent it back as the haldex wasn't the one for your car. If you have a need for a diff, the haldex you have already could be swapped over (providing the basic fitment to the diff is the same).

Bluetooth no longer working
Not on the underside of the seat. On the floor under the drivers seat.

Bluetooth no longer working
No, Nothing there looks like a Bluetooth module. However, looking at the loom it doesn't look like a retrofit kit has been fitted so maybe the factory kit is somewhere other than the driver's seat. Just to confirm, you're certain it's not under the driver's seat? Might be either under a steel cover, under a plastic cover, or Velcro fixed to the carpet.

Skoda Columbus retrofitted in Octavia 2 pre-fl - Maxidot issue
VUC library error is an indication of a failed unit. Josi recovery disc won't fix this.

Hello from Denmark
Hej København. Welcome to Briskoda.

Bluetooth no longer working
Well, it's certainly just an Amundsen rather than a Plus, so the Bluetooth module will be there somewhere. I guess it's gonna be a search, so possible places are behind the head unit in the void behind the dash, or in the centre console, or in the footwells up under the dash. Provided you're certain it's not under the driver's seat?

Can you post a picture of your unit please?

Octavia III LED tail light retrofit shows fault codes
I'd guess if you can afford to buy OEM led tail lights then further outlay is beyond your resources? The cable you use wouldn't be available if Ross Tech didn't build the software so you could buy it from someone who stole it.

Battery change...
I did it myself with VCDS. The procedure is simply changing the serial number of the existing battery data by one number so the system knows the battery has been changed (provided the new battery is to the same spec as the old one).

Battery change...
Reading your first post you say they didn't program the car with the new battery. I'd be having that done personally. Changed my Yeti battery yesterday, programming takes a couple of minutes.

64gb Sd card issues
The Bolero only supports up to 32Gb capacity at most. I'm not sure if that's your problem or not, but you could try a 32Gb card first.

Transfer Box failed - Warranty Company refusing to pay
Have you asked the warranty company to provide details of a garage who will carry out the repair they're prepared to pay for.

New motor (yes, another one...)
Yep, it's the 180 TDCI engine. Seems nippy for a big motor.

DAB aerial
The DAB antenna takes 12v DC feed from the head unit. I'd be easing down the headliner at the rear and check the black fakra plug is connected correctly. There's about 200mm of cable from the antenna to a connector for all the cables, check colour coding and make sure they're all correctly connected.

Columbus SATNAV outdated and no update?!
They appear to be correct, yes. And even if they're copies the data should be ok.

New motor (yes, another one...)
Collection has been put off til Tuesday or thereabouts. Logistics didn't work out (too much work came in for tomorrow so I can't pass up the moneymaking).

Collecting Saturday. Until then....

New motor (yes, another one...)
Nope, it's diesel for s start. Aspman, I still do about 28 - 20k miles a year in the Yeti, just the Audi which sits doing nowt.

However, I'm beginning to find that Briskoda is clearly the lord of internet forum help when compared to Ford... All I can find in relation to technical knowledge is "wil dese weels fit mi fiester anyone no" sort of crap.

Gaz.... Just, NO. Shy, you're aiming sort of in the right direction, but it's more exciting than a C Max.

Still doing plenty of miles in the Yeti, but no chance to use the Audi due to lockdown situations. So just done a deal for something which could well get me banned from Briskoda (if it weren't for the Yeti). However, it's not for my use, it's for the girlfriend so she can get shot of her lease / Motability car (for the daughter).
-
New motor (yes, another one...)
Okay, so a year (nearly) on and the Audi is being sold. I did a shade over 500 miles in the time I owned it, so realistically it's dead money. Considering it costs £500 a year to tax and insure before it even turns a wheel I can't justify keeping it when I have better things to spend my money on. So, watch this space for the next chapter..
