Hi All

Been a long time lurker in the forum as previously owned a Superb estate. I am due for a company car change next year so am now looking around at the different options.....

I currently have a VW Golf 1.6TDI Match which has saved me a fortune in company car tax over the previous Superb 170ps!!! but am very keen on the new Octavia estate. This should still be less painful on tax but bigger than my current Golf - winner!!

But not decided on whether to go for 1.6 dsg or 2.0 dsg? - my current 1.6 in the golf seems to be a good engine and I get some great return on fuel - average (longterm) circa 60mpg!

any thoughts?

keyfob misbehaving seriously

Octy 2 1.4TSI ESTATE CAXA Quite uncertain where to enter this question. The keyfob#1 has started to cause serious problems with the car alarm system. So far keyfob#2 is working with no problem. Car alarm starting randomly and only disconnecting the battery helped. Yesterday the alarm kept sounding/flashing even when the engine was running - undrivable. Is there a home cure whereby I can remap/reset the key fob? My very helpful auto sparks is unable to help

Outback going, what next?

Aspman · 19 minutes ago19 min

After dropping a wodge on the Outback for a new battery only for the tailgate issues to immediately recur and funnily enough for a internet search to suddenly (wasn't before) flag that there is a persistent and long standing Subaru issue with a parasitic battery drain via the telematics module. Basically the car continually tries to phone home and drains the battery, the tailgate control module is acutely sensitive to voltage meaning that if the car has sat for more than a day (sometime less) th

Constant DPF regen

Hi! Octavia vRS TDI 2015 - For a while I've been experiencing constant DPF regens - the idle tick over constantly sits at 1K with the radiator fans running for a while after the ignition is turned off. I drive motorway miles daily so it's not a symptom of short trips although on longer 2 trip ~2hrs the Particle Filter warning will appear but clears after ignition reset. I've noticed the regens are having a massive impact on fuel economy (only managing ~350 miles on a full tank when previously

Trolley jack and axle stand location

Hey up, If anyone is jacking up their car soon are you able to take pictures of exactly where you put the trolley jack (pictures of the jack and any pucks used would be amazing) And where you put the axle stands. I know i’m asking for a lot but if you can show front and rear locations that would be amazing! Quality pictures as well 😀 Cheers 👍
