Stuck Filler Flap
Does it not lock when the car is locked? Mine does, but is accessible when the car locking system is disabled, ie open!

Steering wheel controls- audio side not working
Is that with a Skoda dealership or an independant, don't think Skoda will be interested as not original equipment!

Not a standard fitted unit, maybe someone will be along who can help!

Insurance for EU imported Octavia II
yes, adventure is an se with some extras, produced in pre facelift run out! I had to acquire a french reg as well, supposedly within the first 3 months permanently in france, and the insurer would only issue a policy for just 3 months with a uk reg here. Just had to change the headlight units to lhd ones.

Timing Belt replacement
My garage here a la frog, a vw indy, agreed to fit belt, water pump etc but stated there would be no guarantee on the work, i accepted those terms and, so far have had no probs, and my mileage is now increasing after restrictions lifted here!

New Yeti Owner ... couple of questions on lighting ...
With the headlights switched on and the ignition on, the h/lights /sidelights work, take the key out and that kills the lights, conversely if only the sidelights are on with the ignition switched on, when the key is removed the sidelights stay on but the car beeps to draw attention to the fact that the sidelights are still on! -- go on, give it a whizz!

How to turn off Amundsen II radio without losing NAV sound?
On my amundsen +, i realise not the same beast, I can turn the radio volume down to zero, but before that when the voice gives out directions i can increase that volume or lower it, can you not do similar with your setup?

New Yeti Owner ... couple of questions on lighting ...
My car beeps at me when only the side lights are left switched on when the ignition is turned off and the key removed, when the headlights are left on switching the ignition off and removing the key kills all lights left switched on!

Advice on Yeti please before i buy.
I did mine 'in house' earlier this year, my local independant tried to assure me it didn't need anything doing apart from an oil change, info via a Skoda dealership some distance away. I had been trying to get it done round and about, always the same response, so as above I did it,68k and 7 years, first time it had been done, filter a little clogged, oil black, Haldex 4 , after having done it a trial on a local beach confirmed the system still works, sand thrown up by all wheels! I think I will again be doing it myself next time, although I might by that time have my harp and wings!!

Engine hunting 600 - 1000rpm on idle
Ok, my problem obviously was slight ingress of water into the box, just driven 15 miles with lots of gear changes, no problems, I'll reopen the box and run a smear of silicone grease around the joints - that should hopefully waterproof the box contents!! Should have adhered to my longtime mantra, 'Keep it simple stupid' otherwise known as the KISS principle!!
