I take it the only way to change the language is to go into the ECS. Unfortunately I don't have access to VCDS but will check around and see if I can find anybody with it. Thanks for the lead.

I have been driving my car for several years now dealing with German messages in the display and am finally getting tired of it . I have tried pushing every button available but can't seem to stumble onto a menu that will allow me to change the language to English. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just had to replace the driver's door pull cable. I was able to do it without removing the latch assembly from the door but it was a bitch! Removing the old cable was easy...just rotate the end upwards 90 degrees and it comes out of the lever but getting the new cable back in was MUCH more difficult. I was finally able to get it back in but it seems that removing the latch assembly from the door would make it easier.

Hello to the Skoda family! I have been a faithful VAG follower (my first car was a kit car built on a '69 Beetle, then had 3 Rabbits after that) and finally wound up with a 2004 Octavia Combi 1.9 TDI and absolutely LOVE it. I have been driving it for a year now and if past experience holds, it will probably have 500K on the clock before I let go!!! I got the car from Luxembourg but unfortunately don't speak German and would like to change the display language to English...does anybody know how I can do that? Is it something that can only be done thru the OBD connection? I am also considering remapping and would like to hear from some of you that have done this...is it worth it? The little gal runs pretty strong but I suspect she could really scream with just a few keystrokes. Looking forward to a long and happy relationship...
