What did you do to your Octavia today?

I don't ever use CC in city traffic, not worth the hassle and you can respond much quicker to any dramas. CC was never intended to be used except on more clear roads like freeways and highways. Never in a million years would I use it in a tunnel unless it was pretty much empty.

Yeah but there are a ton of tunnels in Sydney and they all have ****ing speed cameras, so CC helpful to keep your license, but it is twitchy in anything other than light traffic. European motorways typically have large volumes of traffic so in my opinion CC or ACC should be fit for purpose and cope with traffic on the autobahn or motorway (and in the tunnel).

i find it works great (although, as you say it drops off at low speed ). only issue I find is the gap to the car in front, even on the shortest setting, often still allows an open invitation to a car in the other lane !

Yeah the gap is rather long. But I noticed at speed at night on country roads, the gap seemed a bit short! Adjusting the ACC gap is a bid fiddly but overall it is good technology, very good safety feature, I like it because I am often on the (Bluetooth) phone as well and ACC gives you a bit more peace of mind when you are multitasking.

More VCDS tweaks. Added laptimer, display fan speed on auto ac and enabled traffic updates

Seems like you know your way around VCDS. Do you know if there has been any progress on turning off auto stop so the default position is OFF? I know there were various hacks using temperature but it did not seem ideal.

Thanks.

Just hacks atm. I've just drilled it into my head to turn it off every time i start the car

Adaptive Cruise in all situations! Love it. But I always hover my foot over the break.

Brake ??

As we used to say when rallying. Only required at the end of the stage to check your time.
Sideways to wash off speed !
