All Activity

I went London - Gdansk last year and what I learnt. Wheel must be quickly accesible in the boot. Not under floor and luggage. Good to have thick playwood (on the soft surface when jack is sinking) When sticker says 3 bar under heavy load pump it to 3 bar kokosal. Dont be affraid the tyre will blow. The worst is overheating sidewall at low pressure 2 bar and then blow. Torch or LED lamp on the legs is must have. I bought normal factory alu wheel and same size tyre fo 60 pounds and another steel for 40 pounds. New tyre 205/55 16 was 60 pounds. buy normal size wheel.

Hi all! I am aiming to fit cruise control to my 58 plate prefacelift, I have acquired the stalks, a BCM (though the numbers on my current one match so I hope I won't need it), I've enabled it on the ECU, but I need help sourcing a loom if anyone can drop a link to the correct one to purchase, and if anyone is able to provide some help with the wiring as I can't seem to find reliable diagrams or instructions! Thanks!

Probably one for the likes of @mac11irl here but... I've been looking at and test driving a 2017 Citigo Colour for my daughter. It looks to be in decent condition apart from the off scrape of paint in the boot and a couple. It needs a couple of front tyres and two wheels tidying a little but one concern I have is that it almost sounds a little wheezy, as if there is an intake leak somewhere but I cant find it if there is. Is that normal? And is there anything else I should be looking out for - eg what is the cambelt change interval? Cheers

Not a small job by any stretch, subframe off, exhaust off, DPF, EGR , turbo all off, charge cooler off. Not something I’d like to be paying for I’ll be honest My only concern is this “seam”, not sure if this normal or not, aside from that look good.

I have codes 00050000, 0060300, 0060800, 0060900, 0030000, 0060100, all of them Temporarily Rejected. Missed a leading zero off of some of them

When stuck in a never ending spiral, it can never reach an end…

Probably SKODA delaer has just removed Component Protection but has not recovered FEC/SWaP codes. Go to service menu (long press MENU button, then go to FEC/SWaP codes and installed codes. Check if there are any that are Valid.

I can’t believe this thread is still going!

It is simple but needs some time for the very first time. Drums should be prohibited in passenger cars. It is bunch of problems. Especially grease leak and simmering quality.

What profile tyre is fitted?

I wish I had rang them for their advice, I went with the 17" wheel and the circumference is way smaller than my 17" wheels. I will definitely only be putting it on the rear.

A restart may be all you need. Also try tapping on the HOME button and then swiping left or right to the view you want. Nav full screen should be available by tapping the NAV button.

ok its getting night tomorrow morning i m starting again THANK YOU!!

I will look at this next time thanks, price considered.

Quick update, oil change completed. Easy enough job just the undertray a bit fiddly needing 4 different tools to remove. I went with Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV Advanced Full Synthetic Engine Oil in the end. Thanks for all the replies and if your thinking of having a go at it yourself.....do it.

Are both cables are too short now and you cannot catch nuts on the thread even if hanbrake is maximum down in zero positon? If cables seems too short now you need to push back self adjusters up with pliers or screwdriver. It will relase more cable to the cabin and you be able to put nuts on the thread.|You dont need to remove drums. You can do it with screwdriver through the lug bolt hole but it is tricki for the first time.

Is there no sticker in boot near spare wheel or sometimes in owners book/glove box? Alasdair

Thanks for the answers @kokosal but i m not sure that i understand, do i have to open the wheels again?

I have a friend who wants to retrofit cruise control to his Skoda Scala. He only has speed limiter. His current bcm (and gateway combo) is 2q0937087D. He is also looking at retrofitting 090 with 3q0 external gateway if it somehow helps. If someone has a solution for the missing swap code it would be amazing.

handbrake lever maximum down, put the nuts on the thread self adjusters up with screwdriver put the drums on pull handbrake lever and tight the nuts more if lever is max down cable must be a little lose

but now the cables are not too long i need more 3-4 cm if the 2nd picture is the correct

i use what utube says! maybe i have to go at the service garage , i m afraid that they are not good thats why i did it on my own , just money ! what is the correct?

Please read my post again; I said that you're NOT a green warrior, but you still misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm like you; I doubt I'll be around by the time ICE is banned, but then again, I could be. My mum never passed until reaching 92, so I could be. As to whether I'd still be driving, who knows that answer? I don't, and neither do you. But, like that professor told me, as an engineer, I have an inquisitive mind, and I'll never give up trying to preserve our rights to have a choice. As I have said before, when those at the top of the tree start proving their green credentials and actively do what they want us all to do, then maybe they might get somewhere. Like the lockdown when BJ was having parties and others were having police raids, they just keep on demonstrating how it's one rule for us and another for them and their wealthy backers.

Control Module is located on left side of boot under the trims. If you replace it it will need coding with odis. A decent vag specialist should be able to help.
