Problems with reversing sensors
Paulius55 replied to Pricey1978's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It usually means that one or more of the sensors has failed. If the car is less than 3 years old get it repaired under warranty. If not, the sensors are horrendously expensive. A code reader should tell you which one(s) has failed. -

vRS Combi Rear seat removal
Paulius55 replied to Mence's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
The act of removing the rear seat usually destroys the plastic gizmos at the front of the seat as they are one-way only. They are relatively cheap and easy to replace. -
Upgrading boot lighting...
Paulius55 replied to BlueDiesel's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Hopefully this should be a picture of the said lights....sorry about the poor focus! -
Upgrading boot lighting...

I also have the Superskoda lights, they are fantastic and plug and play fitment. -
The Classic DAB station is called Classic FM, which can be confusing. You cannot mix and match presets on one screen.

Map upgrade - insufficient space on SD card
Paulius55 replied to mbames's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
ECE 2016/2017 are the latest maps. ECE 2016 were the previous maps. -
Hopefully this will work...

MIB Columbus firmware versions
Paulius55 replied to andyvee's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
PM me when you have time and I will let you know how. -
Today I took the Tiger Cub to the Sywell Aerodrome Pistons & Props show, classic bikes, cars and planes. Poor little bike, 2 up and seemingly uphill all the way. However, it made it and attracted a good deal of attention on our motorcycle club stand.

Soundproofing a Combi, anyone tried yet?
Paulius55 replied to Mence's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I put a cheaper version of SilentCoat type adhesive material in the spare wheel well, across the whole rear floor and under the rear seat, then a barrier foam under the rear carpet and also under the rear seat. There was a significant reduction in road noise from the rear after this. -
MIB Columbus firmware versions
Paulius55 replied to andyvee's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
You have just jumped onto a 3 year-old post. The latest firmware for MIB Columbus is 0390 I think. -
I also just tucked the wires behind it, very easy to do and the wires are not visible.

Aftermarket rear shock aborbers
Paulius55 replied to Alpha2110's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have an estate and the part number is 5Q0 513 049 CQ. These come from a MK7 Golf TDi 1.6. The less powerful Golfs have torsion beam suspension, as does the standard Octavia. I got mine from eBay for £40 from a low-mileage Golf. There is a full thread on this from some time back, to which you contributed I notice... http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/318282-octavia-20tdi-firm-hard-suspension/page-5?hl=firm+suspension#entry4446742 -
Aftermarket rear shock aborbers
Paulius55 replied to Alpha2110's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I fitted shock absorbers from a Mk7 Golf. They are a direct fit, 3 bolts and are much more compliant than standard. -
Leather seat retrimmers, near to area Northants ?
Paulius55 replied to vRSAnt's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I used a place in Kettering to recover parts of my old Focus fabric seats with leather. They made a very good job but I cannot remember exactly where they were as it was 3 cars ago. If you need it I will attempt to remember the name of the place. -
Today I fitted a new clutch cable to the Cub, much smoother now (the clutch, not the Cub). The oil is keeping my hands nice and soft..

What mileage is your Octavia 3 on?
Paulius55 replied to BlueDiesel's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
June 2013, 47,000 miles -
With the lights on Auto, the switch symbol lights up green when the lights are on.

Filled up the Beemer ready for the Brackley Festival Of Motorcycling tomorrow, a fantastic day out.

I have had exactly this problem for some time. I have a Columbus on the latest firmware but no matter what I do it will not let me add any logos to the DAB presets. The only one that shows is BBC World Service, but that is OTA. The odd thing is that when I first got the car the logos added correctly and even stranger the logos work perfectly with the FM presets. I have tried rebooting, resetting, different logo formats but nothing works. If anyone has a magic wand to fix this I would be very grateful.

DAB Traffic announcements on Amundsen
Paulius55 replied to Neily03's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
In the DAB setup there is an option for Traffic Announcements, separate from the real button on the front.
