Are you meant to put the grey plastic cap back in after install as shown in this video at 4:30, thought that was for transit only.

Is the obdeleven only good for 1 year? After that you have to keep buying licence to get any use of it?

Thanks all One thing to note, I know Tanya batteries is a favourite on this forum but before ordering I noticed they have alot of negative Google reviews when things go wrong so ordered from Amazon instead. Just something you may want to be aware of.

Can you drive the car while your wait for the obdeleven? Says delivery up to 14 days, ok to change battery and drive it while I wait for delivery and code after? Also OK to keep the sleeve if changing to agm, think current sleeve is only for EFB ok to leave in place?

Wondering if I should just another EFB like a yuasa and pay local garage to reset bms, but the ah and cca will be different, any issues with that?

So this is the background and dilemma I have and it is a bit concerning. Garage I use to just do my service items planned to just change the battery, I asked them if they would code it to the car and they said they don't have the machine for that better I go to Halfords. Only when I questioned them, makes me think they just change people's batteries and people are none the wiser. Some people even said Halfords just change the battery and don't code. Rang about 4 garages locally and they said that their diagnostic machine can reset the battery monitoring system to tell the car there is a new battery but can't do anything else. Considering I wanted an agm battery they are saying I should buy like for like as in EFB with same cca etc. I thought you had to change Ah as part of coding even if I buy EFB, my current one is 69ah most new ones are 70 or 75. Also a bit worrying. Couple even said your can't change to agm as your car isn't designed for it, different charging system etc I buy the pro kit for £100 and try and do it properly myself. Seems a real lack of knowledge out there in my local area Thoughts?

Could you highlight which one I need to do it please, I was looking on this link https://obdeleven.com/products?carBrand=Skoda

Hi All My battery just died, happy to replace it myself looking at bosch, varta or yuasa. Can anyone recommend a cheap tool just to code the new battery to the car? Never had to do this before so new to me. Battery recommendations also welcome. Thanks in advance

@roottootThanks I must have missed that alert, checked the service history no mention on 34h5, just standard oil & filter changes. It is a late Nov 2015 1.4 tsi DSG done 45k so low miles 250 Nm 147bhp from main dealer. So from what you have said it would be a dq200 dry clutch, I know the majority of issues published worldwide seem to be up to 2012 ... any ideas if much was done to remediate later dq200 2015 etc or just as prone to faults and may cause a big expense later on.

Does that mean a 2015 1.4 tsi would certainly have the dq200? Anyway to tell

Hi All Does anyone know which skoda octavia mk 3 models and years were effected by the dq200 problems and from which year / model the fix came in? Is it likely to have been resolved under warranty if buying a second hand car. Tried to Google but couldn't find a good web page to explain. Posted in mk 3 forum but guess it's more a mechanic question. Many Thanks in Advance
