!2v socket in the Boot, always live ?
Drspankle replied to Auric Goldfinger's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Did you find a way of actually doing this? I'd like to wire up my rear dash-cam from this socket but don't want it permanently live. -
Do Skoda dealers remap their demo cars?
Drspankle replied to jcsbanks's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Are there any Skoda mechanics on here? Can the dealers tell if a car is remapped? I'm waiting for delivery of a new diesel vRS and am trading my 10 plate in against it. I had this mapped at Maptech in Brigg and it really brought the car to life (and gained me 2-3 mpg too) - my worry is the new one will feel underwhelming by comparison! -
I think this is the way forward - it's a petition to make VW UK pay up. https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/make-vw-pay-for-their-corporate-fraud They have already in the US to the tune of $10k! I don't see why they should get away with it in the UK ... Regards, Dr Spankle

I think this is the way forward guys. It's a petition to make VW UK pay out. https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/make-vw-pay-for-their-corporate-fraud They've paid out $10k or bought the cars back in the US. I don't see why it should be different for us here in the UK. Please sign and spread on social media. Regards, Dr Spankle

Aaah! There's a sequence - I didn't pick up on that bit. Thanks, Dr Spankle

I couldn't get it to work - the temp was central on the gauge, which is where it normally is. Also, what's the point of turning TC off? Surely you need it on to prevent wheelspin ... Replies/advice gratefully received! Dr Spankle

Two-stage Accelerator Pedal
Drspankle replied to Drspankle's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Ignore me - I think I've finally found the answer: DSG kickdown. Quick question: will it always changedown? What if I've changed down already? -
I have a 10 plate VRS TDi. When I push the accelerator fully down, there seems to be another inch or so of tavel when I push a bit harder. Has anyone else noticed this and can anyone tell me why it happens please? Regards, Dr Spankle
