Welcome along Fernando! Great to see another classic being kept on the road!

Think you quoted me by accident instead of the op

👋 welcome to the forum!

Apparently it depends on when your car was built.. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/459109-options-list-sticker-location/ @Breezy_Pete may be able to help you via pm if you ask really nicely though 😉

👋 Hi and welcome to Briskoda! Hope you’re getting on well with your 2 Octavias! And the mods will be delighted you’ve used translate off your own initiative 😆

Hi @SaltyGibbon I see your showing as a new member so the pm facility doesn’t open to you until (I think) about 20 posts made. So, float around, comment on a few project threads you like, visit the social area etc and get your count up to qualify 👍🏻

Oh and we need photos of the pupper in the pets of Briskoda thread in the social forums 🤣

Boot size is relative I suppose… from an Up! To a Fabia is a size increase! Welcome to Briskoda, hope you enjoy your time around the neighbourhood 👋

👋👋 welcome along! Yeah, a Punto to an Octavia is a big scale up 😂

👋 Evening MrDay, Welcome to Briskoda! Hope you enjoy the tinkering 👍🏻

Nor do induction noises apparently…. I know it’s hard for a male brain to comprehend that this is peer reviewed science debunking a myth but sadly we must use our own noises (words…) to try and glean affection from those we find attractive 🤣

Hi John, Have a look in the owners manual, it’s usually shown on the dash board/ cabin layouts. But in general with VAG cars it’s located on the lower panel area of the dashboard below the headlight switch near the drivers door. It may have a little cover over it or not, I don’t know the exact layout of a mk4. Also, Just buy an obd11 or carista or elm327 Bluetooth dongle off the internet, install the relevant app on your phone sync them together and have fun. The elm327’s usually use Torque as the app. In which case pay the few pennies and get the TorquePro version. Gives you much more useful information and diagnosis options.

Hi Steve and welcome along. You really have been a busy beaver for a while 😂 Hope you learned lots while doing all that work..

It will make precisely no difference to the engine other than make more noise 🤣 At the end of the day it’s a citigo so while it it handles like a go kart it’s because it is. (My wife had one for 8yrs, I know exactly what they are like 😂) However, the engine setup is such that a ram air is going to look cool as fk down the Tesco car park of an evening but it’s really not going to do anything. Insurance implications - @DAN@ADRIAN FLUX or @ChrisKnottIns might have a little advice on that front?

Welcome along Graeme 👍🏻

This. I’d be getting it rectified with MO involved and then changing the review to 1 star and outlining in the review about the blackmail used to get 5 star ratings from customers..

174000 kilometers? On a (older) 2litre diesel? That older bus was barely run in 🤣🤣 It’s a shame it got the rust (though to be expected I suppose in Sweden) Otherwise (and hopefully it will anyway) that thing is good for another 300k plus kilometers! Welcome to the forum, And hopefully the Octavia will serve you just as well 👍🏻🤞🏻

Well that is an absolute crock of shi**. They cannot say they will only rectify an issue on the basis that you have to give them a 5 star rating. And then actually withhold fixing it because you gave them 4. The MO should have great fun with that!

Step one fix - Purchase one can of electrical contact spray cleaner. Engine off key out Using the straw, get a good shot of the contact cleaner in under the steering column cover by the stalk (take it off if you can, I’m not familiar with the cover set up on your column) and get as much into the switch area as you can. Work the stalk around for a few mins to get the gunk and corrosion cleared then let it dry off a few mins. See if that helps. I had a similar on my old mk1 and it solved it.

Hi Jack, Welcome to Briskoda, firstly. Then.. what age is the Kamiq you bought? I didn’t think it even existed long enough for this kinda thing to be “fair wear and tear”. Also sounds like they taken exception to your non 5 star review prior to sorting the issue which is quite a dirty thing to do to a customer..

Hi @Adi_C Sorry your having hassle with the car, but a mod @Dean ? will move your thread to the correct sub forum so you’ll get a better answer than in the welcome section (it’s less frequently visited than the model areas)

Translation Hello, I'm also looking for the latest firmware for the Skoda Octavia Combi III 5E with MIB1 (see image). Unfortunately, I can't find anything on /mibsolution.one. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance. @chianti2000 The default language on the forum is English. Please use a translation tool if necessary as I did with your above post, or the mods will start to hide your content.

As above, completely normal to not be able to access without a vpn connection authorised by you employer. It’s another layer to help reduce cyber attacks.

I’m pretty sure you can get @ChrisKnottIns into a thread by shouting their name 🤣
