I use a spray cleaner,not a thoroughly job but i didn't had much time at the moment. I will make a check after few months.

BBC NewsPeak District National Park partnership with Skoda critic...Skoda installs adverts for one of their new cars on Peak District National Park signs. Any publicity is good publicity !

Hi, Yes I’ve checked the listed fuses and can’t see any issues. Is there other sources that could cause this? AC was working fine before this issue. Regards

Nothing specific, just general feedback really. I'm looking at a 74 plate one. I have read elsewhere that the Infotainment system can have issues but apart from that, i haven't found anything that seems to be overly problematic. It all appeared fine on the test drive.

Niiice!!! Great! Now only to get that blanket/cover and you can pass it as "such it came"! Good to have this available as separate accessory

Good! We wait for more news ...

I have the same version as you and would like to update. Did you find any way?

I use Obdeleven Pro, credits not needed, very nifty package, allows you to change car settings easily as well as diagnose.

Thank you. Will have a look at the rear cable connections at the weekend. Fingers crossed it's just a case of lubing it. I have never fitted a new handbrake cable, looks a bit daunting.

I managed to get the whole lot changed over the last two days. My primary concern is the oil leak; after getting rocker gasket replaced, next step was all the ancient hoses. So as I'd bought them, I thought I'd address the leak first- although most of the guidance on briskoda encourages the OCC and delete route. I had to read all this to help me do the job, and it sounds like the way to go. But I've done it and I'm jolly proud of myself! Wrecked my hands as expected, and have probably dropped some bits into the manifold hole-we'll see. Only had time for a 20 miunte drive to the supermarket though; and it was too dark to check on leaks. Will update tomorrow. But while it's in my mind, here's the troublesome bits- scraping and digging the broken 90 degree elbow remnants from the hole; took forever. A washer came out at the end, as well as a 4cm section of pipe.Stupidly I didn't put the washer back but I did put a new one on the new elboy. The spring clip was another struggle, as it's partly under a cable mounting plate (getting it back in was the difficult bit). the pipe that goes up from the 'T' was a hassle- I couldn't get it reach so used a section of 19mm breather pipe from a scrap vehicle, cut to size. It's not rigid plastic but I couldn't give a **** by that stage. When I first drove off, it seemed at bit jerky in first/second gear, but that was probably my stress overthinking stuff (i.e; forgotten how to drive) I'll drive againtomorrow. I'm hoping for better boost, economy and whatnot, and hopefully a dry oil-free parking space! Oh yeah, the 'third' valve I mentioned was a mistake- it was simply a steel hose termination in a green shroud, that looked like a valve ..until I looked at it properly. More later

Could've sworn they were fixed and non opening... Edit: just checked and they're definitely fixed in the three door we're getting as no fixings on the outside of the glass for the latch

We didn’t get along to where they normally hang out. The footbridge along the back of the harbour has been removed for repair.

I am suprised there is no mention if the VAG DPF App for your phone any more. You can follow what is happening in the DPF, such as ash content, when last regenerated and much more. There ia also a free Lite version to allow you to see the featues.

I seem to recall the 5 door back windows are the same little pop out style as the 3 door.. so just as liable to be a smidge leaky

Re the window seals presumably thats on the 5 door as the 3 door is fixed windows??

Did you have to do any sensor reset/adaptation with a scan tool after fitting new sensor?

Ah really??? Bugger ok thanks

I seem to remember the sachs and LuK parts don’t mix so you need all one or all the other.

I found the issue is now trying to find replacement hoses. A lot now do the simplified setup to remove as much as possible. Unsure if this is feasable for yourself? https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/155472-how-to-remove-delete-sai-n249-and-n112/

Sadly my 2.0 4x4 65plate is in the shop needing a new DMF/Clutch I was quoted £1850 from an AA garage in Swindon (see attached for breakdown) Managed to get the parts for total of just shy £500 And I have an ex VAG mechanic and his boy fitting it on the weekend for£300 I think that's the best I could hope for

I am in the process of replacing a nox sensor on my superb mk3 and after installation I will need to do a nox sensor reset/adaptation. I would like to get a scan tool such as iCarsoft VAWS V3.0 but I'm not sure if it can perform this function. Has anyone done this procedure and what scan tool did you use?

My mate has one. The rear window seals are a bit dodgy, but aside from that it’s a perfectly good little car. MOT history also isn’t everything - I’ve had two previous cars that turned out to be lemons, both with pristine MOT histories going back 6 and 8 years respectively.

I went from a Karoq SportLine to a Scala MC 1.5 DSG about 15 months ago and it’s the best decision I made and have zero regrets. Other than an occasional creaky binnacle (which I also had with the Karoq) I’m very happy with it. I’d hesitate to say it’s sporty but it’s rapid enough and handles well enough for me. Been on a few holidays in it, 4-up plus the dog and all the luggage and it handles it admirably, in fact the the kids (17 &18) both reckon it’s more comfy as a rear seat passenger than the Karoq was. Boot space is good, seats are comfy and apart from the occasional glitch the infotainment system works well (I use CarPlay as I find the native Škoda satnav truly awful). The only complaint from my wife is that the sun visor vanity mirrors don’t have a light but I can live with that. Is there anything specific info you’re looking for?

Hve you checked any fuse(s) that supply both G65 and air quality sensor?

I’ve heard a vw beetle carberator spring also fixes the issue.
