  1. Yes, I've got a 1.5 and always have to top up the oil between services. I use "TRIPLE QX SynPlus Engine Oil 0W-20 VAG 508/509 - 1Ltr" and even put it in the car if it's been a while since topping up and I'm doing a long journey.
  2. It's to the right of the steering wheel below the storage cubby that opens downwards. If you open the driver's door and get on your knees you'll easily see it.
  3. Thanks @andreiro221 👍 Do you have any guidance or links on how to remove the sensors? Mark
  4. This is how mine looks on the infotainment screen and I also get a message on the Virtual Console saying that the rear sensors may need cleaning. Based on this picture, is it the sensor second from the right that is at fault? The gray bar on that area seems to suggest that. However, no amount of cleaning of all the sensors seems to fix the problem.
  5. I have also just started getting PDC error warnings when I turn the car on and put it in reverse. I'm not sure if a single sensor is at fault or if it's a generic software issue. I'll try the "turn it off and on again" solution tonight to see if that temporarily resolves it. This has only started happening in the last few weeks. Mark
  6. I find the 1.5 TSI to consume a lot of oil and I've needed to top it up multiple times before an oil change is due. Mine is on a long life service schedule and I've been topping it up with "TRIPLE QX SynPlus Engine Oil 0W-20 VAG 508/509 - 1Ltr". I did this twice (adding about 1ltr in total) over the last 12 months and the oil service has now just been done. I suspect I'll be topping it back up again in May/June next year. Mark
  7. Yes, my car still exhibits this "feature" and I have learned to live with it. I asked the garage to investigate and they couldn't reproduce it (no surprise). So I just take it to be a quirk of the engine managing its emissions at cold start. I just wait 30 seconds or so before pulling away first thing in the morning.
  8. This has happened to one of my tabs too. The dealer said it wouldn't be fixed under warranty as it had been misused?! Anyway, they said I could pay to have it repaired but the whole console would have to come out and it would be cost prohibitive. It appears to be a common problem and 3 are still working so I'll live with it.
  9. A follow up on the original KPH issue: I raised this again with the garage early August and my car went in for an update yesterday. I am now able to select KPH for speed in the Settings -> Units menus and the sat nav now works in miles.
  10. I see the same as you @SteveTheElder.
  11. I thought the same, another 30GB download! I mainly use AA and this is just a backup so it can wait a few months.
  12. I just updated my Navigation Database by downloading OI_P95_EU_202325_Offline_Update from the Skoda update portal and then following the instructions in the MIB3 pdf from the same site. After a 45 minute drive with the USB drive plugged in, the system went from 21.7 to 22.12.
  13. I just push the icon on the left that I want to go full screen, e.g. maps. Then push it again to return to the 2/3rds and 1/3rd view.
  14. I successfully installed 1941 this evening (rather than trying to convince the dealer to do it next month). I'll be driving this weekend and hopefully it will be restart free. Thank you @varooom , I feel happy that it will resolve one of my 2 remaining problems (displaying KPH is my one remaining issue) but also sad that I won't need to frequent the forums as much! For those who are yet to install, a few errors came up during my install, SOS and park distance control, but the update applied successfully. Just be patient with it.
  15. Great work @varooom and @Raineshhelping the community. I have 3 months warranty left so I will try and get the dealer to perform the upgrade. However, please can I get a copy of 1941 just incase they won't and I have to end up doing it myself? Release Version: MO13_EU_SK_R8960L Software version: 1896 Thank you both very much!
