Hi thanks for the reply, both columbus units would freeze on start up, and either come to life half way through journey or not work for days I would lose sound or either left or right side speakers would work. And I lost my sat nav directions on my dash. the only radio that drained the battery was the one out of the seat when I connected it, do I need to up grade the module to get it to work with the seat radio ? Soto test the module I’ll need someone with vcds program/laptop to check it ? If I take the glove box out the module will be located there ?

Can anyone help and clear a few things up for me please, I’ve got a 2007 mk2 Octavia vrs, I’ve had a few problems with my Columbus rns510 I’ve had 2 radios and both have given up on myself so this time I’ve brought one out of a seat, however it didn’t work properly and killed the battery. Ive taken it too a audio / radio garage and been basically told the module is either faulty that’s why it didn’t work with the other radios, and for it too work with this seat radio I’ll need the module out of the same car the radio came out of is this true ? also where is the module located? how can I test the module works ? Can anyone help please

Bristol Street Motors -Darlington
VR55BLU replied to TeflonTom's topic in Skoda Dealers - North East
I went here like i did before it was changed to bristol street motors, and i wasnt impressed i wanted loads doing to big blu and asked for a courtesy car and got told it was a £13.50 charge per day for having the courtesy car at that point while picking my jaw up off the floor,(never been charged before) i was also told that some of the stuff i needed to go back in stages to get work completed, that they didnt have the staff to complete the car in one go.his attuide stunk wasnt really helpfull and didnt care at that point i said thank you and no thanks. i went to VASTEC thats just around the corner got big blu booked in got a (free)courtesy car granted i had to wait a week to get booked in, but i was in no rush, and spent my £3600 there instead and i would never go back to BSM. ive made reviews on the other link before it changed hands and never had problems, granted he could of been having a bad day however the damage has been done and i will always use VASTEC from now on they have lost a customer of 5 years shame. but highly recommend VASTEC -
