Rear light coding
I've seen a lot of people towing trailers that look like this when the indicators are on 😂

Bolero MIB1 playing up
Mine started doing this when it was 2 years old. As you say only when cold and damp. I never got to the bottom of the problem or bothered to fix it as it was so intermittent.

Problem with Key Fob
I had similar with mine. When it went to the dealers they said it needs a new fob which was around 400 quid. I found a chap in Wales who did it for under 50 quid. If you need details let me know. My car was only 4 years old.

Yellow warning triangle
Seems weird but I had a set of these in my daughters fiat 500 that threw up errors. Ebay cheap crap.

Yellow warning triangle
These are not the standard bulbs. Any led lamps need coding in. Mine were showing an intermittent fault until coded.

Yellow warning triangle
Mine always comes up with that when the tank is low and on the informant as a fault. Same thing for washer fluid etc.

MIB2 02XX to 0478
Does it stop your screen going mental. My screen when it's cold does all sorts of **** changes radio stations dials people from my contacts. Nightmare.

So this happened yesterday: 100k miles
Totally agree I love the octavia. I've had four since 2005 all vrs and one fabia vrs petrol which was fun but unreliable.

Hi. This is my build and software on a mib2 octavia 2016. What is involved if I want to update to the new menu system and how much would a DIY job be.

Key problem
I seem to remember you hold the key near the start stop button then press it. Mine did the same but my kessy car key was faulty full stop. I got a quote from the main dealer 380 to replace and recode but managed to find a reliable chap to repair it for 40 quid.

Aftermarket remote key/fob
I have just had my key repaired postal service and I can't recommend this guy enough. My kessy key stopped working so I took it to the main dealer after trying batteries. They said it needed replacing at a cost of 380 quid. I sent it special delivery on Monday to this chap in Wales and 40 quid later and returned today Thursday all working. A decent honest bloke. Give him a go.. I sent a what's app message and he replied straight away. His name is RAF SABIR 07742504123.Hes an ex electronics repair guy and knows his stuff.

New key and programming?
I just has a quote for a replacement kessy key £380. Scandalous.

Battery life for 2019 Octavia VRS
My battery lasted just over 3 years and I replaced it myself for a bosch which was just over 100 quid for my diesel vrs. 300 rubs is a bit steep. It's a 20 minute job even with the coding. The bosch is a far better battery and turns over far quicker than it ever did from new.

Dreaded water pump issue
I booked mine in today with the main dealer. Diesel vrs water pump and cambelt 599. I didn't think that was too bad as I remember paying 700 quid for a mk1 vrs for the same several years ago. One quote for the same job was over 1k.

Flashing screens on start up
Mine did similar with a 4 year old battery so I replaced it. It's like night and day when turning over now. Also the start stop kicks in all the time now.

Octavia 184 2.0TDi Remap - Reliability issues?
I too had a dtuk box which when my car was under 10k miles was a pain in the bum and kept going into limp mode. I tried several programs and still had loads of issues. I decided to give it another go when the car was at 20k and have never had a problem with it and have used a number of programs. I can't work it out but it's still on at 45k and the car is running fine with that and a pedal box.

Climate Control Knobs
I would use some switch cleaner it's not abrasive and won't do any harm. I have used it on loads of switches with great success https://www.screwfix.com/p/wd-40-specialist-contact-cleaner-400ml/92716?tc=YA5&ds_kid=92700046638549236&ds_rl=1243318&ds_rl=1241687&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-LOEBhDCARIsABrC0TnbvWf20x3nNSk9OJIk5hgcyu7EwC6DdC4fZkKukGydfuULPLOSfWgaAlkuEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Superskoda delivery durations...
Funny enough I placed an order yesterday and was wondering on time. Seems a long while. I had Ali express items come in a week so I can't see pandemic making that much difference
