Yes you can change to higher cpacity battery. I replaced the stock 60aH Varta battery to Amaron 74aH recently on my Laura TSI. | |

I already changed it to an Exide battery of the same specification fearing coding issues. | |

![]() What you mentioned is a clear case of a bad battery. | |

| ![]() Hi, Skoda used to provide rear wiper on Octavia sold in India, I am not sure why they are not providing the same in current variant. Octavia in other countries still comes with rear wiper. ![]() Use of rear wiper in sedans has been debated several times in this forum, but I find it very useful during rain. Regards. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My 3.5 year old VRS found a new home and I am in the market for a new car. Octavia is one of the shortlist and had a test drive of a Elegance TDI DSG. The quality of interiors is definitely better than Laura. Doors are not as hefty as laura though. Dealer does not have a TSI test drive vehicle and is offering a superb 7DSG for test drive. Can I make a correct impression of Octavia from this ? especially since superb is still 160 BHP. After driving a VRS for 3+years, I only want another TSI, diesel will not do! |

| ![]() I recently activated needle staging using 12.12.3 VAG and it worked only once after which it stopped. Read on other forums that similar problem with MY15.5 cars. It is unpredictable and works every few times randomly. Mine is a 1.8 Tsi Zeal edition. I was able to activate lap timer and enable rear lights with DRL. Also the blower speed is displayed when I turn on ACC (auto mode). I am using a clone from China purchased from the same source most have on this thread Also have the 12.12.2 does anyone suggest using a different cable, will it help or are the newer cars and older clone cables a bad idea. Thanks. |

Latest version is 15.x which is not cloned yet, although version 14.x is available in the cloned form. Try using that. Can you post a picture of the lap timer activation along with code you used? |

It comes as a main option in MFD display under Audio Phone etc. I have noticed the needle sweep works if given a break and not continuously. | |

I had tried to activate lap timer but it didn't. Needle sweep works most of the times, but if you do a really quick off and on within 3-5 seconds, it might not do the full drama. Gosh I miss my car. Post a photo of the lap timer activation screen on the MFD. |

| ![]() To all the Octavia owners, have the noise rattles on the Sunroof and OVRM been resolved? From what I understand, this has been an earlier issue and no longer exists. Please confirm. |

As for the ORVM, sometimes while it is opening, there is a slight grumbling, which I have not felt as a big problem. not sure if this is the same as the much-discussed rattle. | |
