Carbonio CAI.

Followers

24 October, 200619 yr

After 18months I decided to remove my beloved Carbonio CAI from the Octy. The car is gonna be sold next year so I thought I should try and put it back to standard.

I miss the noise!:( I never got bored of the induction growl and the loud 'Pssssht' sound as the dump valve released pressure. The car is virtually silent now in comparison and some of the character has been lost IMO.

I've also noticed a slight decrease in mid range torque as well, which goes to show that the CAI was doing it's job. I did have a fair few people telling me to get the exhaust looked at when they heard the noise.

If my next car is a turbo, then Carbonio would definitely be my first choice for CAI again.

(I've already sold it in case you were wondering)

Can't open driver's window without holding onto button

Murmansk · 15 May, 20251 yr

65 Reg Octavia estate All my other windows work ok but on the driver's door window I have to hold down the button until the window is fully open. A quick press of the button closes it just fine but opening is the problem. There's no info in the manual that helps I can't help thinking I've had this problem before and somehow solved the problem but I can't remember how. My online research suggested holding the button down until it opened fully and continue holding for a few seconds, then closi

Lost 29-Byte ABS Long Coding — 2014 Škoda Octavia 1.8 TSI

Salmannn · 16 hours ago16 hr

Hello, I accidentally ran a master initialization adaptation reset inside my ABS module using OBDeleven, and it completely cleared out my long coding profile. My module is now showing a persistent 'Control module not coded' fault. My diagnostic device identifies the blank block template as a 29-byte structure. Could someone with access to an MQB MK100 offline software calculator help me generate my matching configuration code? Here is my hardware and chassis data: Vehicle: 2014 Škoda Octavia Mk3

it had the TV tuner like you got in the L&K MK3 Superb. It's almost bothering me enough to think about swapping (although Octavia boot is more than big enough for me). Is this something you really appreciate or something you don't use that often. My one concern would be parking up and watching TV for a few hours and then the car not starting. Is battery drain a problem? Is it possible to upgrade the Columbus in the Octy to get a tuner. And is the aerial in the front windscreen noticeable?

Superb estate rear door lock

MrSVM1 · 17 hours ago17 hr

I am having problems with the rear offside door lock on our 2018 Super 2.0L SE Technology diesel estate. The drivers door switch panel includes the two child lock buttons. When locking the car the rear offside door remains unlocked, therefore we have to keep it locked via the small turn screw on the edge of the door. Having looked into new lock prices, I decided to try a second hand one from a 'reputable' supplier, only to find that this replacement is doing the same thing. I conclude therefore
