To rectify my own post, the ones plugged into a cigarette lighter might still be 5V, but have a port one side like this. @arturo you would need to look at the shape of the connections to determine if USB. https://www.halfords.com/technology/mobile-phone-accessories/universal-charging/halfords-in-car-usb-socket---1-amp-615660.html

Ok, you have this value on your image 3T0035686C, which you can see in the following and the firmware matches with 5238 RNS510 SW5238 #Integrationphase: Delivery cw45/12 C10/C12/C6-samples #VwSwPartNumber:1T0035680L/3T0035680G/7F0035680B #/7E0035680B/1T0035680P/1T0035680Q/3T0035680K/3T0035680L/1T0035686/1T0035686C/1T0035686D/7F0035686/7E0035686/3T0035686/3T0035686C/3T0035686D/7N5035686/2H0035680 #VwSwIndex:5238/5238/5238/5238/5238 #AppsBuild:C_EU_13.236_t3 C10/C12/C6 There is an update available to increase your version (recommended) to 5270 version RNS510 SW5270 #Integrationphase: Delivery cw45/12 C10/C12-samples #VwSwPartNumber:1T0035680L/3T0035680G/7F0035680B #/7E0035680B/1T0035680P/1T0035680Q/3T0035680K/3T0035680L/1T0035686/1T0035686C/1T0035686D/7F0035686/7E0035686/3T0035686/3T0035686C/3T0035686D/7N5035686/2H0035680 #VwSwIndex:5270/5270/5270/5270/5270 #AppsBuild:C_EU_13.270_t2 C3/C4A/C5C/C6/C10/C12 As just mentioned, this can be sent as an ISO file, and you just need recording software (Windows itself can do it) to burn this to a blank CD-R Additional information in text, similar to above video. https://paulroberts69.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/upgrading-firmware-and-maps-on-vw-rns-510-satnav/

I've answered this before, me or @pab567 are able to send you the file you will need to burn to a CD-R disk yourself. Can you/someone you know burn a CD? It's not "frozen" it's waiting to be fed with a firmware CD, and then it will take over the boot code and the buttons should work.

You have latest firmware at 0253 Maps could be updated to 2010 (from your indicated 1810)

New ones are USB, so 5V. Those that plugged into cigarette lighter would be rated up to 15V.

Thanks @Modders I do try my best to help out wherever I can to save people some money where possible 🤝

For both of you, I can take a quick look with your VIN to maybe see if there has been any service measures applied to your car(s). Feel free to PM your VIN if you like, no promises I can view, but happy to try.

Let's not give VAG any bright ideas 😄 I guess this is all about tight emissions/fuel economy and a good torque curve that they need this insane level of calibration. Given the push to full EV, it will soon be out of the hands of DIY, and I think they are not letting indepentant workshops attend EV training either... scummy move if correct. It will be main dealer only if we are not lucky.

Exists these firmwares FL_5WA907530Q_7099__V001_E.frf FL_5WA907530Q_7099__V001_S.frf FL_5WA907530Q_7300__V001_E.frf FL_5WA907530Q_7300__V001_S.frf As above, you may need to look at erWin Skoda yourself and locate any TPI documents you can for your issues, should you wish. You may have had the update applied already to your car, as this line exists in the TPI document also... "Update the gateway control device to SW 7099 via measure code (SVM) 3774." Which is a match for your gateway firmware.

Sadly I am not a mechanic, but I did make a read of the TPI documents I try and collect here and there. The cold weather will indeed stress the battery, but also all of the bits that run in background take their toll. All you can do with the service department is give them the symptoms and they should lookup TPI's and determine if they match what you are saying, and evidence is seen (in a poor battery) The dealers hands are tied as they cannot do some repairs without authority from factory/importer. For 7 Euro's you can lookup yourself on Skoda erWin and armed with your VIN in a text file ready to go, download workshop repair manuals/wiring diagrams and a PDF of all your build codes. Then you can enter the section where you can lookup the TPI documents and download information as PDF's (you will need a PDF printer installed) Do this yourself if you don't trust them to find the documents (experience in some dealers are poor)

Can you supply more details on your gateway HW/SW (full strings) There is a TPI for MMI & Gateway updates for Kamiq & Scala, so they both need updates, but this might also exist in a document that I don't have. Now for Octavia PHEV there exists... Service measure 27J6 TPI: 2065641 That does reference a change in hardware for the Gateway for draining the 12V battery and battery monitor "For Octavia A8 PHEV vehicles from a certain production period, due to the safety of the 12V battery, the battery monitoring control unit must be replaced and the gateway control unit updated." "Update the gateway control device to SW 7310 via measure code (SVM) 3774."

Looks cracking motor, I had a 2015 just before the facelift iirc, and got it at a good price.

Here are the bare facts about the changes, I posted on page 2 this... That dropped the hint that these needed calibration, not just slapping on like a normal belt. Take a look at the process, it's only 40 pages 🤐 Pages from D4B8078C002-1_5_110_kW_TSI_EVO_Engine.pdf

3rd Superb, they are nice though!

Welcome back, hopefully the VRS does you proud 🤝

Hotel California vibes... "You can check out any time you like But you can never leave"

You have it in a nutshell 🤝

It is amazing how the story of these belts change with Chinese whisper over the internet/forums, and how much of the time/distance get's changed... 3/4/5 years! 60k/80k/120k miles etc I prefer always to deal in facts and hopefully the image taken from the factory manual tells most of the picture, but as we all know time will tell in the end. This is a million dollar question really as to how this will pan out. I am sure that R&D will have tested these belts over XY simulated miles/"years" and perhaps know that they should in the majority of cases last the distance. It would be nice to revisit this thread in years to come and see.

After some 3k posts, I figured I best make a very late hello. As a child I was always pulling things to pieces! If it had electricity inside it, I had the tools out pulling it apart, I was deeply fascinated by how they worked. I put some broken things back together and they worked, but not always successful! At school, we had very limited exposure to PC's, we had to look almost and not touch the things... it was awful for someone that likes to know what makes things tick. They were I think 486 processors, but I do remember they had 25MHz clock speed and one of those turbo buttons, that I think would boost them to 33MHz! I had to have one, so I saved up some money and brought an 8086 CPU PC that was the old school library machine, it had green screen that gave you "pink eye" when you looked away from it, turning everything pink 😬 I then self-taught myself everying I could about the MS-DOS 6.22 OS and command line was king back then, I loaded Windows 3.11 and spent time tweaking and wiping it several times learning. So then naturally progressed to working in the IT field for a few years, building/repairing/networking. I was in heaven doing this as my daily job. Circumstances change as they do in life, so I ended up working as a Taxi driver for many years also, and unlike most that thought maintenance was a dirty word, I kept my car pristine and in good working order. It was again, going back to my childhood, how I wanted to know how things worked that I started to learn as much as I could about features of the car, so getting workshop manuals/wiring diagrams etc... nothing changes! I did then a short stint in a garage environment, but was never allowed to do much work on the motors, though I was often called up to assist with things during engine rebuilds or other such tasks. I am now a carer for my wife, so I no longer working, which is why I am available here to assist. Given the cost of living crisis going on, I try to help people out where I can with assistance where possible on their cars, so it could be firmware files for infotainment or snippets of the workshop manuals to help out with repair information. So I am not a mechanic, but I have pulled apart and done many DIY things over the years, so fairly confident to tackle tasks.

They can be obtained from erWin Skoda for an eye watering sum of 7 euro's, each year I buy Audi/VW/SEAT/Skoda manuals and download the lot to help others. Make account, pay for 1hr access and have your VIN in a text file, then you can grab these things, and get a build sheet whilst there of your PR Codes that say what was fitted at factory. If you have a PDF printer, then you can go into the TPI documents (Technical Product Information) and get a list of faults you can lookup regarding your motor, so if your gearbox was say only allowing you to select 1, 3 , 5 for example, then they would have something there if it's a known fault and the remedy. I think myself I would change at 210,000km perhaps if you are nervous about it, so about 135,000 miles roughly (or again earlier if you wish) this is taking on the Diesel schedule.

When the factory is asked to provide an answer as to what a "lifetime" belt is, you won't get an answer. What is the definition of a lifetime to you/me/Skoda UK?
