    Car covers

    I wonder how effective one of these (or similar) would be? https://www.everycarcovered.com/collections/skoda/yeti
  2. Those companies (and others) do still exist, and they will treat modern cars too. Here's a couple of examples. https://www.lanoguard.co.uk/pages/application-centres https://www.waxoyltreatment.co.uk/about-us/
  3. Hi, Are your reversing lights working? If not the problem may be the reversing light switch or its associated wiring/ fuse.
  4. It's probably worth checking the brake/clutch fluid level first, as if the clutch hydraulic sytem has failed, dropping the car onto its wheels could end up with embarrassing results....
  5. I can't help with any ideas of the source of your water leak, but I do strongly recommend you have your aircon turned on - if only to help dry the car interior out and reduce condensation.
  6. Isn't the older Columbus an RNS510 as used in many VAG models? If so there appears to be various sources of Map update CDs available, though I'm not sure what the most recent version is?
  7. ?? I don't understand - or am I missing something? 6.38 doesn't fall between 6.44 and 7.44
  8. I think that points to a clutch switch/sensor problem; I used to have a diesel x-type jaguar. Someone on an x-type forum was having trouble making smooth gear changes. It was discovered that a switch on the clutch pedal should slow the engine down when the clutch pedal was pressed down. I tested this on my x-type. If I drove along at say 30mph and slipped the car into neutral (without touching the clutch) and then immediately released the throttle, the engine would carry on revving for some time, however if I dabbed the clutch pedal, the revs would immediately drop.
  9. Just a thought, I don't know these VAG engines at all, but I have had experience of other makes in the past (Ford Leyland etc). Is it possible that you have the wrong dipstick - perhaps one intended for another car model, and thus giving an incorrect reading? I remember on some Ford's their engines had different shaped sumps which meant having a slightly different length dipstick.
  10. I have say that it is indeed possible to successfully paint flexible plastic. About 8 years ago I spray painted my beige pvc seats in my MG Midget with a couple of Halford's vinyl black paint rattle cans. They still look good.
  11. I wonder; do any tyre manufacturers list the larger size as being suitable for your car? It seems that The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) frequently publish various technical documents and manuals regarding wheel and tyre sizes. https://www.etrto.org/home I have found one of their documents ETRTO RECOMMENDATIONS 2013 (there may be more recent versions are available online - I haven't looked) contains the following paragraph: http://pneusnews.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2013-ETRTO-RECOMMENDATIONS.pdf
  12. It is only the the later Columbus units (post 2014?) that can be updated by downloading the map data and loading onto an sd card. The earlier Columbus units can only be updated using a VAG/Skoda DVD disk.
  13. I'd be interested to see any reports of these units causing fires
  14. This topic (linked below) specifically the last post (by gyp) confirms which models had a shallow 'battery box'
