Yes could be blue tooth settings off maybe.

Hello everyone! I won a Rapid Spaceback at a car auction and I’m happy to join this community. It has rear-end damage, but I’m a mechanic, so it should be easy to fix. Thanks a lot for the attention!

No idea how to fix your problem - but, it's news to me that the digital dash can show Waze.....?

Hello everyone, I am looking for the part at the end of the speedometer cable, that goes inside the gearbox. I was checking the oil level, and the drive (plastic) fell into the gearbox. I have been looking for that part for a few weeks. Thought I found it, but wasn’t the right one. Would you know where I could find it? Thank you!

Agree with the looks, as does everyone else it seems.

Well, I didn't get very far with that! I'd looked at the Haynes manual and watched a video by HatBoyHarvey and it seemed a simple enough process. OK, he was doing it on a Mark 1 Fabia, not a Mark 2, but it couldn't be much different, could it? Well, thanks, Skoda, yes it was, because instead of a regular hexagonal bolt, they've put in what a bit of googling suggests is a "spline" bolt! So I'm going to have to order a set of those next week. Although, given the weather has cooled off now and it's not jamming, it's tempting to say "sod it" until the problem happens again...

This is the hardware/software on my Superb. I took delivery of it 5 weeks ago. I haven't monitored the screen enough to see what display I get on a 3 lane motorway and generally turn off lane assist. I also use Waze rather than the in-built satnav.

Whats the button highlighted in yellow? I guess the one next to it is to turn the sound on and off.

@Archie316 Your first question was answered earlier in the thread. Below for reference. "It won't leave anyone stranded. It's more an irritation with it popping up and bleeping. It is if/when the switch goes permanently open circuit as opposed to intermittent open, that there may be a couple of issues - namely that it may be possible to inadvertently leave the car out of Park when you shouldn't be able to on an auto, and that is a safety matter (and a recall issue in US and Canada as they have specific regs relating to roll-away). In the UK, the transmission lock on an auto isn't a specific MOT test item (because the gearbox isn't), nor is it a specific fail item - but if an MOT tester is sat with the error in front of them, it's likely it will at least be recorded as a safety related advisory. Whether they could find a code to fail it against, I couldn't say. A permanent switch fail will of course be visible to anyone looking to buy the car in the future too". Your final point isn't quite correct. It is the VW switch repair kit that is secured to the top of the selector that needs to be modified to fit the Fabia (not the selector housing itself) as you will see from my photos on 27th August 2025 in this thread. The YouTube links on how I did ours were posted up on the 1st September 2025 in this thread so you can see if you feel confident enough to have a go yourself (you'll likely struggle to find a garage willing to do such a mod for you).

You are Welcome

perfection. Thanks once again for your never ending assistance!

Byte 13 ---> HEX 01

I have rolled back the byte 5 bit 4 change. Which bits do I enable on byte 13? This is what I see on carscanner.

Vcds can not Upload dataset

Byte 5 Bit 04 is wrong. Turn off Byte 13 Bit 0-3 Set to yes ---> High

Is the TRW 1330 compatible with rear brake pads? Every parts supplier says something different.

No definitely the R5. I had hopes for the R4 but back seats just as restrictive as R5, boots is good but just not as good a looker as the 5 IMO. Discounts on R4 and availability better accordingly.

I am interested in the upgrades and more so the cheapest of them. Wish Renault brought the "Five" version, was 95 hp, now 107 hp and now FLP which is what I was expecting my 40 /43 kwh version to be.. Should be well under £20k with the EV grant. Not sure Twingo will sell that well. Sandero EV should though. https://media.renault.com/the-renault-5-e-tech-electric-range-gains-fresh-appeal-with-greater-efficiency-range-and-versatility-right-from-entry-level-along-with-new-colours-and-features/?lang=eng Increased range for existing versionsRenault 5 E-Tech electric is now even more versatile. Both battery options – the 40 kWh Urban Range and the 52 kWh Comfort Range – gain increased range through aerodynamic enhancements (lower body and new rearview mirrors) and optimised battery electronics. The 40 kWh Urban Range battery, available with the Evolution and Techno versions and paired with a 90 kW (120 hp) motor, now achieves an WLTP range of up to 315 km, compared with 312 km previously. While the 52 kWh Comfort Range battery, available with the Evolution, Techno, Iconic Cinq and Roland-Garros versions and paired with a 110 kW (150 hp) motor, now achieves a WLTP range of up to 430 km, compared with 410 km previously . An optimised Five versionStill available in the 95 hp / 40 kWh configuration, the current entry-level Five model is set to become more powerful, more efficient and more versatile in just a few weeks. It is set to swap its current powertrain for a new, compact, lightweight 80 kW/110 hp motor, from the same family as Twingo E-Tech electric. It will be powered by a 36.5 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery with cell-to-pack technology, designed to optimise energy density in relation to its size and weight. The result is a WLTP range of up to 305 km, with no compromise on performance since the 0–50 km/h sprint takes just 3.5 seconds, for a responsive and enjoyable driving experience. And for even greater versatility, alongside the 6.6 kW AC onboard charger, the new Five level trim of Renault 5 E-Tech electric will ship as standard with an 80 kW DC charger, allowing it to use fast-charging points.

Toomys in Basildon say that you can have a choice of 5 R5s in approx 2 weeks, or 33 R4s in anything from 2 to 5 weeks time, so maybe lol-lol's dealer was thinking of the R4?

Hi, do you know this 4b module parameters for Skoda compatible with Passat B8 2017? Same module number. I need activated for DLA, i also have A5 camera and high led. i just coded using VCDS. Thank you. If anyone have this parameter can share to me.

Dozens nearly new, demonstrators advertised in the UK. Just in Scotland new in stock, Parks, John Clarks, Arnold Clarks, Vertu etc etc.

Pretty confident if you wanted 2 they would move one.😉

Only 1 R5 in the Midlands that I can see. Being a Baggy i fear for my life going to Dingle Berry land !

I have read that as well. I always use their belts though. I tend to change mine every 5 years or 50-60k whichever comes sooner and so far havent had any problems with their pumps and tensioners. Last one I did was on my old 1.9tdi bxe and the belt,pump and tensioner after 60k were as good as the new ones I fitted. Not sure what water pumps have metal impellers According to google Hepu and Graf have metal impellers but most others are plastic Hepu cat https://www.hepu.de/en/parts-catalogue/ Alasdair

Ok go to renault and get it in a fortnight? https://www.renault.co.uk/new-stock.html?model.code=R5E
