Ouch :(

Leave it to cool off, then try again. It may recover long enough to copy a few files off 'each attempt'.

Wouldnt happen to know brand/type ?

Oh dear, I live in fear of the day one of mine dies so I have a backup on DVD of my 100GB of mp3 files, digital photos etc.

As suggested, leaving the drive off overnight sometimes gets it going again briefly. We do that when a HD goes at work, and we can usually get a ghost image of the drive ready for then the replacement is installed.

Or you can get a bootable linux live CD as i find that sh4gg3d hard disk tend to read under linux but not windows (and sometimes even when the bios refuses to acknowledge its there - very odd but handy)

Has anyone else found the new Driver Monitoring System on the Mk4 Superb to be overly sensitive?

Has anyone else found the new Driver Monitoring System on the Mk4 Superb to be overly sensitive?

ducu · 19 hours ago19 hr

Today I drove around 150 km on the motorway using ACC/Travel Assist, and I received the “Pay attention to the road” warning roughly 20 times. What concerns me most is that while some warnings might be expected if I briefly glance away, others occurred unexpectedly, even when I was clearly looking ahead at the road. The behavior is similar regardless of whether I’m wearing sunglasses or not, so I don’t think that’s the main factor. At this point, it’s becoming more distracting than helpful. I’

vRS 4.5 annoyances (and birds!)

Guest · 30 April30 Apr

Hi all, I've had my mk4.5 Octavia vRS for almost 3 weeks and while I find it to be a great car overall, there's some things that are a bit annoying. Lane assist: I understand what it's trying to do but the implementation seems flawed so it's a good thing it's easy to switch off. I had forgotten to turn it off today though and while driving down a road which is wide enough for two cars but only if you stick to the edge of the road, the lane assist kept trying to push me closer to the centre.

Clutch rattle

Clutch rattle

PilsnerUrquel · 23 December, 20241 yr

I have a 2021 Octavia petrol with 57k km on it. I've had this problem for at least a year now, it hasn't really gotten worse. There seems to be a rattle sound coming from the clutch area, and it varies when I press the clutch pedal. Sometimes it goes away when I press the clutch pedal, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I need to hold it halfway before it goes away, Then right after that when I press or depress it again it comes back. So it's not consistent, it seems to vary a lot while

1.2 TSI loss of power

1.2 TSI loss of power

Papez · 2 July2 Jul

Hi, hopefully you won't mind my question here - I don't have an Octavia, but its close relative from a Spanish brand. But mechanically, they are same. Anyway, I have a 77kW CBZB. It worked flawlessly for the year I own the car, but when this summer started, I noticed occasional loss of power. It only happens in hot weather (around 30 degrees and up) with AC on. In most cases, it happened when I wanted to accelerate after mild climbing at lower gear at ~2000RPM. It feels almost like a limp mode
