You have MEN2_EU_SKGPx Software Train? Also, tip... use @varooom the "AT" symbol to tag user

B201A is a classic error, but it does not affect unit. It is caused when the car cannot confirm the checksum with the factory. Have a read at this guide here, the above YT video is just to show use of another tool https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/18798/

@Jonboy984 Take a look at the list above, you can see where your FW is on the list. To update or not is a choice, they get provided to fix bugs, but they never give a direct clear list to us mere mortals.

You can try these peoples, been around a while. https://www.lttleathercare.com/product/leather-repair-pen-auto-whites-creams/

This has been sent over to you

That has been sent now via PM

Cannot see full path, but as long as it's not say M:\MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343 path you should be OK Fingers crossed 🤞

I will send you a link to 0480 version.

Not seen any update for that SW Train value.

It's a very old firmware, so probably not optimised. This version is available... release = "MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343" MUVersion = "1433" {Snip} SupportedTrains = "MHI2_ER_SKG11_P2104*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_S2104*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_K2129*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_S2129*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_P3260*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_P3304*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_P3325*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3330*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3333*,MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343*" As you can see from the supported trains list, it's at the very beginning of a long line of updates, so it has had plenty of changes over time.

Yes it will be sent in a few minutes time.

Press and hold down the Menu / Setup button for about 10 seconds to get the Software Train value. Post back with this.

You can have update to 0480, as for MIB Toolbox, you must have "Developer Mode" enabled in the radio for that to work... do you have VCDS or equivalent?

Yes you will have PM for 8755 version

Correct, I will now send you update to 0369 version.

Since there are many firmwares, you will need to provide me a Software Train Hold down the Menu/Setup button and look for this screen.

Maybe it needs the drainage to act like exercise, either way this could be fascinating reading to know for sure. I think it's @ords who has the record of longest running AGM iirc, hopefully he will respond with how long his battery has been alive for.

It might be the bad move maybe, as they are designed for deep discharge. Perhaps keeping the stored energy and not letting it depelete harms AGM? Sadly don't know the correct answer to that, just I rarely disable SS in normal driving, and my batteries have lasted years.

The battery has a SOC (State of Charge) value that is low, but not on deaths door. 11.7V = 0% SoC 12.7V = 100% SoC So each 0.1V adds 10% SoC to the value, the car during normal operating will aim to keep the SoC at 80%, so 12.5V, this allows regeneration from braking to not overcharge the battery. 12.2V is a little on the low side after 24hrs, and would suggest it is heading towards the end of life, but doesn't mean it's right now, mine I swapped at 12.1V after sitting for a week. I would charge it on the car once a week, for say 2 weeks, and then take some daily readings after that to see how it is now. It might breath some extra life into it. I did charge my new battery off the car before fitting, no ill effects seen (though I did adapt battery with VCDS) It is the "correct" method to charge on the car ideally, but won't exactly break it's brains if you don't. The car just won't know right away what's stored.

I would say 12.2 is a little on the low side for a 2 year old, but not terribly so. My 7 year old AGM would be 12.1V left for a week in the cold. Still started, but you could feel it was getting a little wheezy, so I replaced it.

Depends on what you mean by low, and how long you leave before measuring etc. I dare say you will be ok, even more so coming into warmer weather.

If you have driven it a few times since, then I would not worry about it. The car soon figures out what is what from measuring, sure it might think it has X stored when it is Y, but the system will soon balance to Z. I wouldn't otherthink it myself.

I can yes, Private Message on the way

Not in my collection, but you can wait to see if you get any responses... the alternative is to get online with erWin Skoda and with your VIN and a PDF printer, go visit the Elsa online documents (looking for "Red Book" icon) that will have the large list of possible TPI documents to grab. You can of course while online get your wiring diagrams and workshop repair manuals first before you begin the search. 1hr is 7 Euro (unless changed)

That list in the car if found won't be the complete list anyway. Maybe yours was not fitted with it, a VIN lookup is only way, a webchat to Skoda UK, or visit a friendly dealer as they might print that off.
