Hello and welcome Owen.

A lot of difference there, which did you use, and why?

Same issue for me after update to v1985 via USB...

Update folks. It's fixed! There was nothing wrong with my ABS sensor, the problem was indeed the magnetic ring on the inside face of the outer bearing race. The "bits of plastic" I thought I could see when looking down the hole for the ABS sensor were exactly that. The dark brown curve at the top of the photo is all that remained of a complete ring - basically, a glorified fridge magnet, that just sticks to the inner face of the outer bearing race and rotates with the wheel. Little inclusions within the thickness of the plastic, generate the fluctuating signal for the sensor. It should be a complete circle of brown material and as you can see, half of mine is missing. I'm now left wondering how far gone the other three are...☹️

Most of these models I would agree with that there are better models in there performance / size class. I would like to have seen more Nissan Ariyas and I want to pop along to Nissan to look at the Ariya and the LEAF, 3rd iteration. The Ariya is the cousin of my Scenic which was European Car of Year Year 2024 and some interesting iterations of it ie they still do the 63 Kwh version and there is the Nismo version with over 400 hp. Pricing has been weird and part from the LEAF, built in Sunderland, I dont think they get the full £3750 EV Grant. Ariya 87 kwh gets 438 mile WLTP range on 19inch wheels, new face lift model due shortly and if avoids expensive car tax might get some sales but Nissan brand seems toxic at the moment as if it may be in trouble.

If it's of any use to anyone, various bits of cross-checking online seem to indicate that the most common answers were: (a) 70 Nm plus 90 degrees of rotation. (b) 200 Nm plus 180 degrees of rotation.

Stay away from this update (03A8). Take a look: Octavia MK4 MY2023 OTA update went wrong (03A8) - Page 2 - Skoda Octavia Mk4 (2020 > ) - BRISKODA

Quick shot in the field, i did drag my sideskirts on the ground just a bit 😁

Can you see pressure values on the multimedia system as a superb which is produced with sensor?

Sorry for my insufficient information regarding the subject. What is the difference of generic aftermarket direct TPMS systems and OEM? Finally, you recommend to buy parts and make a service install them, right?

In the past, what tended to annoy me most about dealing with Kwikfit was, I'd enquire about supplying and fitting brand X model Y - and they'd come back with what they had considered a cheaper/cheapest suitable alternative - but that was not the answer to my question! I like to pay as little as I can for exactly what I'm wanting - not too much for crap - there is a difference.

Sorry if she’s or easy to find but I’m struggling. I want/need to flush and replace my coolant on my 2018 1.5 Karoq. How much coolant do I need please

Could it be the thriving part worn tyre market is fed by 'unrepairable' tyres changed at repair centres? Perhaps I am being over cynical, but I recently took a nearly new tyre in for repair where the puncture was caused by a nail well within the tread pattern (not near an edge at all,) to be told I needed a new tyre. I queried this as the tyre had not been run flat (TPM warning had prevented this,) and was told the angle of entry of the offending nail prevented repair. I asked to see the tyre, and where the entry had been 'opened up' ready for a repair the angle did not seem out of the ordinary to me. Following a discussion with the repair man he agreed to effect a repair - I assume he would not have done so if it was not legal! No problems whatsoever with the tyre since. Make of that what you will. Trevor M

Perfect timing posting that, thank you! I thought the 45 degree jet was caused by a partial blockage and this afternoon's job was going to be to clean it out!

I also have only guest mode active. Now I tried to set it to full privacy mode and so far the infotainment boots up instantly.

2023 owner here, seems i don't have this problem anymore-i deleted app on my phone and user in car. Since then driving as guest and 0 bugs on it. Been stuck on loading before that almost every 3rd time i start the car. U can hard reset by holding power button to fix it but i dont want to do it 3 times a day.

The clutch disc was a bit rusty in places so think thats why the rivets failed on one side. Probably had been sitting for a long while without being used. His is the same no rust underneath apart from front swing arms which I have two new ones. Its now done 78k and touch wood no major problems. Going to do the timing chain on his due to the age plus a couple of suspension bushes including arms that had a minor advise last MOT. Hes wanting something a bit newer and sporty but I will be keeping the car when he gets something else as its excellent to drive and better for short runs than my diesel octavias. Alasdair

Thanks, it's clearly downrev firmware which may explain the issues with Smartlink we experience.

Looks like you found a good version of the long piece. Such an even light strip I have never seen till now.

Update on this issue . Water coolant leak . Changed the water pump and car is out of limp mode . Still randomly reving . Suspected pcv valve now . Waiting on parts . I will keep you posted

Hello everyone. Firstly I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong section 😞. My name is Owen I'm 53 and from North west England. I've just become the proud owner of a 2012 Octavia Vrs Dsg petrol . It's done 120k but it's been fastidiously maintained by it's previous keepers . I was given a huge ream of paperwork with the car . It's a hatch and it's blue . Not sure of the exact manufacturer colour name yet . The car is completely standard but I'm planning on a remap for both engine and box . I'm not going too far with it (honest!) I'm looking at revo for the map as I'm told there are switchable maps available. I try to do my own work on my cars but ill health has been making this a struggle recently. As I said apologies if I've posted this incorrectly, perhaps a mod could assist. I look forward to chatting with people and solving those problems that communities like this are great at . Best wishes Owen

3 Red 1 Green is a 6Q0411105M front spring. This is a lowered ride height front spring, which is what you would expect for the Greenline. The 6Q0411105AE front spring is completely wrong for the car, as it is a standard ride height spring for a much lighter car. 6Q0411105M front spring https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/6q0411105m?supplier%5B%5D=253&supplier%5B%5D=32&supplier%5B%5D=246 Lesjofors 4085720 front spring (matches 6Q0411105M) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197494987410

I did build a teletext decoder in the middle 1970s. It was an electronic magazine project. Had a turning wheel to produce 100, 101 etc. TTL or something integrated circuits to get your N gates or whatever they were called. A lot of soldering. I did get a trip to the Ceefax HQ in Whitecity. The person who use to sit opposite me was the wife of an esteemed in BBC circles an editor, lead guy. The job was to take the long form text of BBC News and convert it into those pages. Think because I'd built that decoder I was privileged enough to go up one Saturday morning, pass security, suspect not so much in those days to be picked up at the door and be taken upstairs to Ceefax HQ. Old Television Centre, Whitecity. I still got it, in the garage racking. The chap you see on searches as the cherished lead of Ceefax at the time. Not so sure of the wife. She was a statistician. Prior job was as a research officer at a university evaluationing BTs telecoms long range forecasting department in Cambridge. That was their hub of planning investment in new telecoms. I gave the chatter to the BT inspection people when they came here after we got full fibre in. In those days they had an experimental fibre link to Martlesham. Prestel was BTs dial up answer to Ceefax but two way. Digital exchanges were coming in. System X. The long range people had put out assorted evaluations of face to face verses teleconferencing.... Now everybody is at it. Ah the good old days. The research department also had their two pennies worth on investment in the British integrated chip industry. Processors were a glint on people's eyes. Pass on what was recommended. Academia had government's ear in those days, so interested parties in business talked the the academics, they talked to government and things were lubricated. Anyhow to answer your question Vag operates with a 5 year planning horizon so after they stop making that model / unit things start to drop off support. Web pages are deleted pretty fast. POI import for mib2 via Vag pages went exactly at 5 years give or take. We dont say this too loudly incase they do the numbers. So best not to highlight this stuff.
