They’d all do fine - I meant the air scoop bits

The fronts are 19”, the rears are 20” so a set of 4 fronts fits perfect. I think Gallardo wheels fit too but I’m not convinced they fit stylistically. I tried to buy a set of non-badged centre caps (happy not to have emblems) but after 2 sets (albeit Ali Express) neither of them fit so I gave up.

Hi, It depends on the routing you chose. I bought FitcamX F&R dash cams pack. I struggled to route the cable from front dash cam down to door sills and once trying to route up along the rear wheel arch, I understood It would be way too short. 🙄 I had then to remove the cable up to the top of A-pillar to route it along the roof and use aluminium tape to avoid any interference on the curtain airbag (if needed). I assume it was a 5m-long wire. Lesson learnt: I should have used masking tape to fix it temporarily and assess easily the best way to route it. I would have saved time. It would have been no problem with a 8m-long wire to route it along the door sills.

That’s the one @Binx1310 Ditto @RogueWagon . This is a great colour as is the Royal Green on the official Sleeper version. And the 5-cyl has a very similar resonant note to a V10. Very envious.

I have just got a brand new Elroq 85 Edition. It has the Maxx package and the Winter package. I’m REALLY struggling to understand how the Profiles work. My wife and I both drive the car. I was expecting a profile to be selected automatically based on which key we use, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I thought that if we both had our own Skoda account in the MySkoda app, that might work, but it just messed things up even more - it looks like the car can only be linked to one Skoda account, and if you switch to another account, it completely overwrites all the settings. So I’m currently using my Skoda account as the main profile, with an additional local profile set up in the car. But even this seems way too complicated. When I get into the car, it takes about 30 seconds before it even gives you the Option to change profile, but it doesn’t doesn’t show which profile is currently in use! It’s totally rubbish! I’m seriously thinking of abandoning profiles altogether, and just changing the settings (preferred radio station etc.) as needed. I see that there are two programmable seat buttons, which we could use to quickly change from one to the other. Is there something really simple which I am totally misunderstanding?

Does anyone know how to clear this message on dashboard please?

6V0919604 is a number of the display unit and what I need is a number of glove box unit. Or VIN so I can check myself. However, looking into the production date (16.02.15) I beleive you need 01xx firmware - will send you in PM.

As I understand you have 5Q0035874A. You can jump directly to 0480 but first unit must be patched for swdownload and metainfo2.txt in 0480 firmware must be modified as well.

Hi.Does anyone know of a diagram showing the power steering pipes on my 2014 1.2 Rapid Spaceback. I am trying to trace a fluid leak but am unable to definitely locate these pipes. Thanks. Graham

How bizarre Must try that even though ours makes no noise that worries me. Can't understand what possible explanation there might be for that working.

4WD helps you go, but it will not help you turn or stop. I run my cars with summer and all season or winter tyres. I have had/seen many problems with 4WD cars in winter but still with summer tyres on them. Thanks. AG Falco

Turned off blower and all fogs. Side and dipped lights got 12.15v on battery. Whereabouts behind glovebox is earth point? Thanks

Or somebody with OBDeleven. Thanks. AG Falco

Love that Green is my favourite colour as well!

I just got a car with dsg 200 1.5 ETSI brand new. I'm not really worried. But people r saying they really ****. I don't see alot of complaints after 2022 build. They must sell millions of these. Ive read bout the failures and cracking and the mechtronic losing pressure in the housing but thats 2013! Tbh all cars were **** reliability at that time. Surely they have fixed the issues from probably 2020? And when its misty on startup I get a warning saying front sensors and safety deactivated. Probably from the sensor from the front being blocked. Not convenient but clears after 5 minutes. Love the car btw 🤩 it's my 1st proper dsg/automatic car. I got the premium sound system too

@pab567 Can you help with my Emergency download problem? Numbers on unit in second picture

What age of 1.2 TSI if it is that? How many miles? Maybe go for VW502 00 oil, 5w 40 full synthetic non long life and change at fixed regime or sooner if you use VW 504 00 / 507 00. 5w 30 FS III.

I nearly asked that yesterday, so many different 1.4 engines in Fabia. I know next to nothing about the 1.4 diesel. ☹️

Sorry its a diesel and that's what's happened with oil problem and that's the waring light that came on when smoke coming out from under bonnet. My apologies ... its definitely a diesel

Hello all, i have the 1.9 felicia pickup and to be able to swap the bonnet to the facelift one i must remove the radiator so i can get to the screws that hold the grill to be able to remove it. Since i cant do it on my own i asked a mechanic to do the job. Now he tells me the lock i provided has different screw holes. Have i got the wrong part? Thanks in advance for any help.

The OP posted that it is a 1.4 16 valve 84 ps. That is not a diesel so no glow plugs.

Oh, it's a diesel? Ignore my previous post completely then.

That one came on so pulled over atraight away

Probably one of the seals between rocker cover and head failed in one of the spark plug wells. Not a nice job to fix that as it's a sealant gasket, and the cambelts need to come off to remove the rocker cover, I think, judging by this image: There will be a problem causing crankcase pressurisation too, I think, most likely the oil separator on the back of the block being clogged to buggery. Probably worth replacing that, cleaning everything up and then seeing which plug well fills up, and how fast.
