Re: Skoda Octavia MK4 2023, 2.0TDi DSG Ambition

Just to let you know that the project with the radars and lane change assistance was never completed. I have no intention of looking into it any further.
I will have the car for another year or so.

Hello. It's been a long time since I've been on the forum due to personal issues. As these issues have been resolved, and the weather is getting better, I hope that I will return to this group more regularly.

Re: 2025 Polo R line dead battery

a one-year-old battery cannot fail under normal conditions.
Either some power consumption was left on all night and drained it, or something else strange.
4 volts is a very low voltage, even if it were short-circuited it would not have such a low voltage.
I don't know if you can charge it from such ...

Re: POLO 6C PDC PARKING SENSOR RETROFIT

okay then.
I will continue the project without stress regarding the sensor codes. (I will check it in the evening, but we are probably talking about 5Q0s )
Regarding the orientation of the sensor placement, my opinion is that there will be no problem with whether the plug is on the right or left, I ...

Re: POLO 6C PDC PARKING SENSOR RETROFIT

Thank you for your observations Fernando. With your wisdom, knowledge and observation you always take care to help us in a simple way. I am grateful to you.
1st I did not imagine that there is any specific way to orient the sensors. The only thing I took care of was to put them on the marks with the ...

Re: POLO 6C PDC PARKING SENSOR RETROFIT

So, with those marks, the job was easy.
4 holes with the special tool.

Well

1st attempt for installing those parking sensors to the front bumper.
I am lucky, there are marks for the positions of those sensors. :D

Okay, I guess we're not seeing the same link I posted in my previous post, which included the video.
Hmm... either your devices are a mess or they've been completely hacked.
It's also possible that someone (a superior being, or who at least believes he is), 'with the best of intentions', is ...

Re: Giannis20vt's Polo 6c 1.0MPI

Hi,
As time goes by, I'm thinking about continuing the PDC project.
Question about the positions of the sensors on the front bumper.
Are there any marked positions on the inside of it? It was like that on the rear bumper.
If there are no marks, are there dimensions somewhere on the internet ...

Re: Giannis20vt's Polo 6c 1.0MPI

I appreciate your answer. Thank you. For sure is more complicated that it looks.
However, my curiosity still remains, will changing the lux number change anything?

Re: Giannis20vt's Polo 6c 1.0MPI

Good morning,
as you know, I have installed the automatic light switch and the automatic wipers in the car. (the well-known RLS).
I notice that the lights come on well before dusk and I wonder if there is any adjustment for the sensitivity of the automatic light system.
for example, I see in the ...
