I understand the correct oil for the 1.4 TSI engine in the UK actually is VW 508 00 as detailed in the Kodiaq Maintenance Workshop Manual, which is available to download here - In certain other countries elsewhere in the world as detailed in the Manual, the correct oil is VW 504 00. Pages 56-58 thereof detail the following:

My average over some 26,500 miles is shown below as 35.2 mpg, includes significant periods towing trailers, and the aircon is never turned off. Further detail can be seen by double-clicking on the mpg figure with details maintained by Spritmonitor.

Non vRS.

Well I do have full leather seats, and in this heat, the fact they're ventilated means they're an absolute joy - lovely and cool. 😁😁

The VIN does not hold information as to the paint code. I believe the paint code forms part of the Vehicle Data Sticker, one of which is usually found affixed into the 2nd inside back page of the Owners Manual and another stuck in the vehicle luggage compartment.

Someone's pride and joy in the Osnabrück area of Germany, albeit an eyesore to me! 😀😀😀

I believe you are correct!! 😀

The part number could well be 565 945 395 or 565 945 396 depending on whether it's left or right.

June 09, 2020 › Fourth-generation ŠKODA Octavia features an array of safety features to protect cyclists, making it one of the most cycle-friendly cars on the market › Visual and audio alerts are activated when car is stationary, preventing drivers and passengers from opening their doors into cyclists as they ride past › Other cycle-friendly technologies include Predictive Cycling Protection, Turn Assist* and Collision Avoidance Assistance Milton Keynes, 09 June 2020 – ŠKODA’s new Octavia features latest technology that warns drivers and passengers to not open their doors into the path of oncoming cyclists. The all-new fourth-generation Octavia is the first ŠKODA model to feature Exit Warning, and is designed to help reduce the number of instances of ‘dooring’ – where a cyclist is hit by the door of a parked vehicle opened by a passenger or driver. Exit Warning, which is part of the brand’s Blind Spot Detection system available as standard from SE L First Edition, uses sensors to monitor the rear and sides of the vehicle when stationary. If a cyclist is detected, the system will warn the driver through a series of visual warnings and by sounding an alert, both of which will continue until the hazard has passed or the doors have been closed. Working on both the front and rear of the car, the alert will reduce the chance of passengers swinging their doors open and causing a possible collision. The sophisticated cameras in the new Octavia are able to observe possible hazards to the rear of the vehicle up to a distance of 35 metres and at angle of approximately 120°, providing greater assurance for drivers and passengers on when it is safe to exit the car. The introduction of ŠKODA’s technology will be greeted as a welcome addition by the cycling community, particularly with the UK marking Bike Week 2020, which is taking place from 6th – 14th June. With many more cyclists expected to take to roads over the summer months as part of their commute to work, the new ŠKODA Octavia further encompasses a range of other advanced safety features to help protect those on two wheels. Predictive Cycling Protection triggers a cascade of warnings to the driver if a cyclist is detected ahead – and will even engage the emergency brakes if necessary to avoid any possible accident. Another innovative piece of technology is Turn Assist* which will be introduced for the first time in any ŠKODA, while the Octavia is the first vehicle in its class to have the safety feature. Using the on-board cameras, the system will be able to monitor oncoming traffic when turning right at a junction, as well as identify cyclists and pedestrians. If immediate danger is detected when executing a manoeuvre, the vehicle will be brought to a complete standstill, triggering the warning signal and preventing a possible collision. Collision Avoidance Assist is another first for ŠKODA. The front cameras of the vehicle are able to detect an impending accident and perform a controlled evasive manoeuvre around the hazard, be that a cyclist or another vehicle. The system uses real-time data provided by the array of cameras and radars to calculate the most appropriate, and crucially the safest, trajectory around the potential danger. A spokesperson at ŠKODA UK said: “The all-new fourth-generation Octavia is the most technologically advanced ŠKODA yet and one of the most cycle-friendly cars on the market. “Naturally cyclists face daily challenges associated with cycling on busy roads, including avoiding car doors as they open. The technology introduced in the new Octavia, particularly Exit Warning, is there to assist drivers in helping to mitigate and reduce potential accidents.” To find out more about the new ŠKODA Octavia, visit www.skoda.co.uk * Turn Assist will be available with the all-new Octavia from November 2020. http://www.skodamedia.com/index.php/latest-news/skoda-octavia-s-new-technology-helps-prevent-drivers-opening-car-doors-into-path-of-cyclists

May 20, 2020 › ŠKODA Scooter designed to fit into spare wheel well without compromising luggage space › Patented Simply Clever folding mechanism allows for compact storage › Weighs just 5kg but can carry passengers up to 100kg › Available now as a ŠKODA accessory through UK retailers Milton Keynes, 20 May 2020: ŠKODA has developed the perfect accessory for the owner who needs to cross the city in style: the ŠKODA Scooter. Designed to allow owners to go from door to door without having to sacrifice ŠKODA style or innovation, the new scooter is another example of the brand’s passion for micromobility. Of course, ŠKODA knows a thing or two about building clever two wheelers. Founders Laurin and Klement started the brand with innovative bicycles before turning their design skills to cars. And, as buyers have come to expect from the brand, the ŠKODA Scooter features a clever twist on the standard design. Thanks to a patented folding mechanism, the ŠKODA Scooter can be folded up in a few simple steps. Collapsed, it measures just 49×42×11cm and fits into the spare wheel well under the boot floor of the Scala. This means that the entire volume of the boot remains free for transporting luggage and shopping. Unlike many scooters, the ŠKODA Scooter has been designed for adult use and has a weight capacity of 100kg. The frame is made from hard-wearing steel and aluminium and finished in black with ŠKODA green highlights on the wheels and handlebar grips. High-quality bearings and wheels in polyurethane guarantee an equally fast and comfortable riding experience. Despite its solid construction, the ŠKODA Scooter weighs just 5kg, making it easy to carry on public transport or into offices. The ŠKODA Scooter is available as an accessory through retailers and is priced at £120 including VAT and can be ordered now. http://www.skodamedia.com/index.php/latest-news/it-s-an-absolute-scoot-skoda-develops-clever-foldaway-two-wheeler-for-kamiq-and-scala
