I have just bought myself a VCDS cable and I would like some advice on making a couple of changes to my car.

What I would like to do is change the KPH on the Maxidot to MPH and, if possible, make the MPH display larger characters. Can anyone point me in the right direction to make these changes?

Is that where the needles sweep to the end and back again when you first turn the ignition on?

If so, my car already does that. If not, spill the beans !!

Yes that’s right Chris.

oh, and on a side note i have just realised that the info you gave me Gizmo68 is from a post you originally made which is quite clearly pinned to the top of the VCDS forum.

Why oh why cant i just open my eyes ???

Thoughts on buying a 2007 2.0 PD TDI (auto) Octavia estate?

smokeyjon · 3 June3 Jun

Hi. I know there's a 'considering buying' forum but this is about an oldie so I thought this may be a better place to post...(a query for the long committed fans?)? I already have a 2005 Octavia Estate (1.9TDI PD105) and it is by a country mile the BEST car I have EVER owned. I bought it in 2013 for <£2.5k and apart from needing to do the clutch straight away it hasn't needed much over the 80k miles I've done in it since. However it is close to 180k miles now, the clutch is juddering and

I guess this is a common problem with the steering wheel and the silver trim piece at the bottom. Has anyone managed to find this replacement part (on AliExpress, Temu, or anywhere else)? A new one costs over €120 (https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/5e3419671vkh-steering-wheel-cover-skoda-46861.html), which seems absurdly expensive for what it is. I've seen that some people repaint it, wrap it with vinyl, or use other fixes, but I'd really prefer to find a brand-new replacement part at a rea

Camber adjustment

smithysmoo · 4 hours ago4 hr

So had both rear control arms replaced as the bolt was seized so I couldnt get the tracking done..now the tracking place say they can't get the camber inside spec because there is no adjustment for that and it will be OK as toe is good now.. Have attached the results.. Is the camber adjustment not this bolt in the pic..(which stands a chance is seized aswell)

Door Umbrella

Johngerard · 20 hours ago20 hr

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde
