All Activity

I'm currently looking at purchasing a car for work, taxi driver. Only ever driven octavias 1.6 tdi and recently 1.5tsi act. Test drove a 1.0 tsi se yesterday and was surprised how well it drove, was expecting it to be sluggish with a considerably smaller engine than I'm used to. Will mainly be used short stop start journeys with an old dear and shopping in the boot with the occasional boot full of suitcases with 4 extra bodies going to the airport Bit of gogogling suggests carbon build may be an issue that'd need monitoring, anything else i need to know to help make a decision ?

Near the edge somewhere as I recall. This is from a Kodiaq. Wouldn't have thought there was much of a pattern part market for windscreens but what do I know.

Hi, a question about VOICE: According to the car manual, it should work (at least in English), and for me it doesn't work at all. Does anyone have it working in English(at least), how did you activate it, or did you do coding? And in which car? (Mine is a new Karoq Style)

Sounds reasonable to me. Start with tests and see. Was it doing it before injector replacement. Could be that one of the new ones is leaking. Can cause similar symptoms, Alasdair

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

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?

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

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

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.

Was the question meant seriously?

I’ll have a look in the menu. Do you know which bit/byte in abs needs activating?

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!

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.

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.

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]

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.

Part number of the unit?

But you have to Set IT activ in the Car settings. Also Coding in the Abs

Sunset a few nights ago..........

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.

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

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.

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/
