  1. Past hour
  2. If the compression test comes back good then hopefully its just surface damage to valves and pistons and the valves are still sealing ok. As long as theres definitly no sign of bit of sparkplug I would see if the noise is still there and carefully start engine. Any noise switch it off quickly. You may be lucky and as said just surface damage. By the look of the marks the sparkplug may have been well worn and only a small bit was left that broke off, Alasdair
  3. I've got an OBD gadget (the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+), so I'll see if I can monitor a drop in fuel pressure using that. My local garage have been paid twice for diagnostics on the stumbling/chugging noise and neither time have found anything, so I'd rather run a few tests myself at this point. I'm not confident enough to remove the diverter valve myself (I've read that it's under the car, accessible via the driver's wheel arch?), so I'll see if the fuel pressure readings will point me one way or the other. If it maintains pressure, then that largely rules out the HPFP and PRV, and the GFB DV+ is likely to blame - correct? Swap that out for a 'Rev G' and the problem should go away? If it drops, then likely get the PRV replaced first (as it's cheaper), before moving on to the HPFP. Does that sound like a reasonable plan?
  4. Check the alternator to make sure it's working correctly check the wiring in the engine bay and the scuttle door wiring is usually a big problem and if you are a aftermarket head unit check that as well because that can drain batteries
  5. Eny VAG car on the PQ24/25 platform should fit your fabia as the mk2 fabia rs sits on the PQ25 so eny vw polo seat ibiza or audi a1 should fit your fabia
  6. Try searching for 6R2423055L instead. That superseded the suffix J part. Also try to find a part number sticker on your current rack. The above numbers are rack plus both track rods and ends, you presumably could be OK with just rack itself. A lot of secondhand ones will be advertised by this sticker number, not the 'all in one' part number. Avoid any that have 1 as the third character in part number, they'll be LHD.
  7. Was the question meant seriously?
  8. Today
  9. I’ll have a look in the menu. Do you know which bit/byte in abs needs activating?

  11. mistac posted a topic in Škoda Elroq
    Folks - just pulled the trigger on the above in Velvet Red (other than that standard spec) - currently driving a Karoq 1.5 DSG Sportline Edition. Due in approx December and will be my first EV - hoping I have made correct choice. Current and new Elroq purchased via PCP scheme and Ohme Home Pro included as part of PCP offer. Would be grateful for any owners views/comments!
  12. mistac started following Sportline 85
  13. JoeMK2VRS started following VRS steering rack
  14. Bit desperate for some help. The steering rack on my Skoda Fabia MK2 VRS has fully gone. Been told I need to find a replacement by the part number: 6R2423055J. But having an absolute mare in trying to find a reasonably priced one. Are there any other VAG cars that share it ? Or cheaper options in general? Cheers.

  17. Had this exact problem. DPF is likely too far gone. Need to delete/clean/replace. With the amount of work involved in removing it, there's no way I'd be putting one back in.
  18. jaychen started following Constant DPF regen
  19. Knocked up a downpipe the past couple days in between jobs. Turned out ok. Is basically no louder than the factory setup while driving. 3" to the standard back half of the exhaust. [img] [img] [img] [img]
  20. Wieso die Druck teile, weil die 2Q0 Radar Steuergeräte deutlich kleiner sind als die 5Q0. Wenn diese vorhanden sind, wieso neue Halter kaufen? Gedruckte Adapter rein und dann Steuergeräte einsetzen. Why the printed parts? Because the 2Q0 radar control units are significantly smaller than the 5Q0 ones. If you already have them, why buy new brackets? Just use the printed adapters and then insert the control units.
  21. But you have to Set IT activ in the Car settings. Also Coding in the Abs
  22. Sunset a few nights ago..........
  23. I put a full set of Linglong Greenmax all season tyres on my Octavia, 205 55 16 91v, 7 months ago, so caught the tail end of last winter. They were decent on snow/ice/slush, good all year round. Although I don't drive to their limits often, I just wanted a tyre I could use all year round that felt safe. No they're not as good as Michelin tyres, but I've had those in the past, too. I paid £54 per corner for them, fitted. I drive an estate with 16" wheels fitted, so it suites my needs, don't need to drive it like a sports car. They are also wearing very well, as I've only lost 0.5mm from the front two over 5k driven, so far. I thought I'd give them a try, as I generally fit mid range tyres, not disappointed. If I still have my car by the time they hit 3mm, I'll replace all 4 with whatever I fancy, next. Probably all season tyres again, as they suit my needs.
  24. Hello does anyone know how i can unlock smart link or carplay in my 2017 skoda octavia MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0369T multimedia version I heard that there are some solutions via SD card if someone can help me

  26. This might could be a model year difference, I ditched CarPlay because it wasn’t fully integrated with the steering wheel controls and the digital dash in my 2023 Sportline- but I understand in later cars 25/26, it is.

  28. AliExpress blind spot kit did not perform reliably enough. So that’s now been stripped out again. Front parking sensor retrofit now complete too. Full install details here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/541006-front-parking-sensor-retrofit-4k-to-8k-rhd-combi/
  29. waze is displayed via android auto. Works beautifully. Voice defined destinations too.
  30. Not just smooth but good body control by using advanced multilink suspension rather than torsion as oft used in B segment cars. Paired with low centre of gravity too. Much better than my first Renault 5 Campus of decades ago.

    "An electric car approaching," says the license plate. But only in some countries - Škoda Storyboard https://share.google/cuTKt5b2hrPNIEdqE
  32. Mine is also booked in at National Windscreens. The online reviews are mixed to say the least! Hope I have a similar experience to yourself. Where is the manufacturer label on the windscreen? Some reviews I read indicated they don't use genuine parts. Thanks for the heads up. Will do.
  33. Does anyone have a map for this update?MOI3_EU_SK_R7880L_MU1788 It is currently This version is currently MOI3_EU_SK_R6680L_MU1668
  34. Renault has always had a reputation, along with Citroën for an excellent smooth ride.
