HI Thanks for the info on adapting a new battery. I got as far as the bit where you say to type in battery but the channel list is empty How long does it take to populate the channel list? The little line beside protocol UDS is spinning happily and has been for 15 minutes?!

2015 Octy 85k Engine Warning Light came on VCDS diagnoses Glow Plug on Cylinder 3. So far so good. Reading suggests these can be tough to get out so I'd sooner change just the one. Which is cylinder 3 - third for the left looking from the front of the car? (or 3rd from the right!) Is this (Cylinder 3) the 'expensive' glow plug with the sensor? I've read that it is important to use OEM glow plugs but what is the make of the OEM glow plugs (eg Bosch?) Thanks for any info

Trouble is that engine warning light on is an MoT failure these days

Indeed. None of the links to manuals in this thread work. Im looking for Mkiii 2.0 TDI workship if anyone has one

It seems you are right - no folding seat option (which in retrospect would seem incompatible with the knob) The knob wont move the seat-back further forward than approximately vertical. It will however go nearly flat backwards (requires headrest removal for best results) As to lumbar support - not worth the candle (or was than handle!) in my opinion. Something in the lumbar area moves but barely Thanks for your views

I asked Granny first but she' never owned a Skoda - broomstick always good enough for her :-) I have a seat raising lever as well (which raises and lowers the seat just fine) level withe the base of the seat. The seat folding flat lever (that doesn't) is half way up the side of the seat exactly where the handbook says it should be

Hi All Cant get the front seat to fold forwards on a Mk3 Octavia with cloth seats There is a lever on the side of the passenger seat which the manual says must be moved to the horizontal position in order to fold the front seat forward. I move the lever but the front seat does not budge. Seems odd that they should fit the lever if they are not going to allow the seat to fold? Any suggestions as to what I am missing

Hi Thinking of replacing my headlights with Osram Next Generation bulbs but I cant figure out which bulbs to get. Nothing in the handbook! Seems the low beam is H7 but what is the high beam? I presume I can just do a straight bulb switch ? Thanks for any information
