Seasider

This is how I have my dash configured. Does this show what you want to have on your dash?

I use the classic two dials layout with the oil temperature in the middle between the two dials. I'll go through what I did tomorrow and make notes and then post here. However, you say that Kenny R's display provides all the information you would like on the dash, but the two dial plus oil temp in the middle display doesn't, I think also allow fuel consumption display.

In my experience on my 2020 SE-L, at first the warning didn't identify the tyre concerned, but after a software update it started to do so. Did you cehck on the vehicle state graphic? The faulty tyre might be highlighted there.

Take it from the fusebox below right of steering wheel, using a fuse outlet which is controlled by the ignition. This may mean a workshop job depending on your experience.

In my 2020 SE-L, the boot light has three LEDs in the side which light the boot and two in the end which are the torch part and these don't come on when I open the boot. If I take the light out and use it as a torch, the torch part turns off automatically when I put the torch back in the holder.

It depends on the model year. I bought my SE-L in 2020 - ordered January but delivered June because of Covid - and it came with the torch (left hand side of the boot) and 12 volt socket (right hand side). However, the torch was discontinued in the next model year (from about Sept 2020), probably to reduce costs or because of supply difficulties or both (Covid again).

Glad to be able to help.

On my 2020 Kamiq, the torch end of the boot light doesn't come on when the boot is opened, and I can see no reason why it should as it is pointing directly at the end of the lamp holder it is in and would add little or nothing to the boot illumination.

Doesn't it have park assist fitted?

Full version, page 132, right hand colum, last paragraph in the version I downloaded in 2020: "Exceeding the limit › Disengage the accelerator pedal completely. Control will continue as soon as the vehicle has decelerated to below the set limit." It doesn't actually tell you how to do this but that's always the problem with instructions - they are written by people who know what to do for people who don't know what to, so bits get missed out.

I seem to recall that there is an electronic downloadable "full owner's" manual which has in additional information and this is in that. There are references to the existence of this electronic version in the paper manual that came with my 2020 Kamiq and I did download it at one point. I did suggest to Skoda that as in effect a car is built by a computer program providing the various items of equipment ordered by the buyer, the manual could be tailored to each car as it was built. There would be a general section common to all models and then sections specific to the individual car, making the manual smaller and more user friendly; they didn't agree.

That's true, Susan, a bit of confusion of ideas on my part.

When you say "speed limiter", do you mean the cruise control? If so, it's a not uncommon feature (maybe even a standard one). The idea behind it is the same as the old idea of a "kickdown" supercharger or turbo to give an extra surge of power when overtaking without having to change gear. Mercedes Benz had a version of the C-class with the feature, recognisable by the word Kompressor (supercharger in German) on the bottom edge of the front wing just in front of the leading edge of the door.

No, just a system of range detection, speed measurement and directional variation.

I'm not saying it is any of those things. Within the context of your original I quoted, I was making the point that if tyhe driver is gripping the steering wheel hard, then it will take more force from lane assist to operate, and as I said in my original post, "I find that if I hold the steering wheel tightly, then lane assist reacts fiercely when it judges the car is too near the edge of the road or lane. Hold it lightly but firmly, then the response of lane assist is likewise lighter".

I'm not saying there is a strength testing sensor built into the steering wheel, but clearly the turning of the front wheels by lane assist causes the steering wheel to turn and if that is gripped hard the force needed to turn it must be greater than if it is gripped lightly.

I think how lane assist reacts depends on the driver. I find that if I hold the steering wheel tightly, then lane assist reacts fiercely when it judges the car is too near the edge of the road or lane. Hold it lightly but firmly, then the response of lane assist is likewise lighter. Maybe gripping the wheel tightly means that the initial response of lane assist is missed by the driver and so lane assist reacts more fiercely.

My understanding is that it informs you of delays and diversions even when you are not using the sat-nav.

I have the same problem on my 2020 from new Kamiq. It is in to the dealers next month after I contacted Skoda through the app. The dealer's have been sent details of what they need to do with a copy to me and below is an extract: Technical instructions for the workshop: Kindly do a reboot of OCU with ODIS. Thank you in advance, BR / CC My contact via the emails will ring me next day to see if this has worked.

This is a risky operation and what rum4mo says is highly relevant. - get a professional in, the RAC or AA or Green Flag or an equivalent. (They may come out for a fee if your friends are not members.) Or if your friends are in Skoda Roadside Assistance, they would sort things out. What is involved is more than draining the fuel tank and cleaning it out. There will be contamination in the fuel lines, fuel pump and injectors which will need dealing with. And the contaminated cleaning materials will need to be safely disposed of as well as the contaminated fuel Or if your friends are in Skoda Roadside Assistance, they would sort things out.

carefree, live up to your name and worry less about what other people do so long as it doesn't harm you or complicate your life unnecessarily. Drive how you want to drive so long as you don't endanger others, and let others do the same. Life is never simple for anyone nowadays (and probably never was), but you've got to learn to live with it and try not to make it more difficult, for yourself or other people.

An update having contacted Skoda with information. Asked to check whether using latest app version, if not to download it. Also asked to send a screen shot and details of mobile 'phone and spoftware version. Uninstalled and app four times and downloaded and installed lastest version (7.5.1) four times, but app still says it's version 7.5.0! Got back to Skoda with this info.

I've been driving for 52 years and I have always kept a note of mpg by recording mileage at filling up the tank and gallons put in as a matter of course, partly as means of monitoring overall fuel economy and partly as a means of monitoring the car's performance and my driving, no question at all of driving like my nan (not that I had one) for the sake of mpg figures. This has been no great effort, no stress and a fair bit of money saved over the years and the app, when it works, is a useful tool in this. Your concern about my lack of a life is appreciated but misplaced. I have had two successful careers in different professions, been a volunteer photographer with the fire brigade (no driving like nan there) and an instructor in civil defence, as well as being involved in local government and societies in various roles over the years. And I did my bit of "tearing about" in the 70s following the Skoda rally team in the RAC Rally over the years, including setting John Haugland's mind at rest in the first outing of the Skoda Coupe in the RAC Rally by lending him a footpump for the event as the team had forgotten to provide one. And in view of the penultimate sentence of your post, I wonder why you went to the effort of posting at all.

Which is what it's meant to do.
