From memory I read there may be two w3w tail light bulbs in each cluster on rear think its the MK2/1z. Not entirely sure but worth a check. Perhaps one has blown. Alasdair

Thanks both, they were pretty corroded, once over with some contact cleaner, no change. (But they not looking great anyway so might change alongside the indicator and see what happens.

Doubt it but heres a link to lll parts diagram. Cant work out if it just clips in place or requires bolts. The part number you gave is no 75 on diagram. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/5wa201429/trim-for-fuel-tank-5wa201429 Alasdair

Yes, the metal casing. Remove electronics first, by defeating the 6 plastic clips with toothpicks or similar. Then undo 4x torx screws, carefully pull out metal housing with rotor and brushpack all together. Pull brushes outward off commutator and spin the brushpack 180° relative to metal housing. Reassembly in reverse order. 6Y1 label will now face the opposite way, and the permanent magnets within the metal housing will be oppositely oriented. Better not to pull the rotor out of the metal casing as the bearing at the closed end can be tricky to realign the shaft into.

Do you mean swapping this 180 degrees? Sorry app playing up. Would be nice to get up and down the coorect way. The wiring diagram I have doesn't show what's happening at the motor. I have swith and control unit but can't work out what controls motor run direction. Given up today as its too hot! 😂

I'm usually driving at the time, so your saying I have to be parked up to update

Hi, Beezy, Pete. Got this motor and the windows do now work. However the drivers one is still incorrect for up and down. The wrong way round. So do you mean swith the motor body around by removing the 4 screws and turning the metal casing a

You cannot normal update while driving. Park the car where there is good signal. Ensure you are not in max privacy mode. With the ignition on activate the update process via infotainment. Wait for a message telling you it's finished before starting the engine. Normally turning off the ignition and locking the car halts the process.

We have a 5 year old Golf, it still gets OTA updates. You must have a registered MY VW account with VW for this to happen. It's the same with Skoda and I also get occasional OTA updates. You must also not be set to max privacy. In both cases if you wish to get the extra information about traffic and map updates you must not only be registered you must pay a subscription after the "free" period expires. Most OTA updates require that the car is not moving. It must be stationary with the handbrake on (in P if auto). The alternative, as mentioned above, is to have the dealer do it. Since the OTA updates never take more than 30 mins a dealer connecting it to VW computer should not take 2 hours!

I am shortly hoping to pull the trigger on a new Kodiaq SEL seven seater TDI AWD. This will be my first Kodiaq after three Superb's, all of which lived up to their name perfectly. The Skoda website configurator allows me to select an optional space saver spare wheel, which is what I need, as every year I get one or two punctures, usually in the middle of nowhere. However, the brochure says that a space saver is not possible in a seven seater. Assuming the brochure is correct and the configurator is wrong, has anyone managed to fit an 18 inch space saver tidily in the rear of a seven seater with the seats up or down? With the seats up, is there enough space and secure tie downs in the boot for a space saver? I am not concerned about appearance. I will be adding a few options, so it will be a factory order with projected delivery in November.

Will a Skoda Main Dealer be able to provide me with long coding for my ECU 03 Brake Electronics Skoda Fabia 2011.

+1 for intermittent number plate bulb. Check the contacts.

My experience of the major tyre fitting places is that they don't want to do a repair. Instead they want to fit a new trye even though the faulty one is repairable. I always go to my local independent tyre fitting place which is more or less within walking distance. Never had a problem with them.

This might be an old thread but it still works a treat. Many thanks for helping me sort out a frustrating problem✋

Sorry for delay on returning to the thread. Car now booked in for repair. Problem diagnosed as being from a module at the back axle.

This particular trip is done regularly over the last 10 years. Outbound is south on the M1 and east on M25, prevailing wind is from the west and outbound is generally better mpg. I leave the aircon (climate control) set to auto and just vary the actual temp setting currently 20c , when the weather cools down it will be lowered to 17/18. @Gerrycan I’d agree the 1.0 or 1.5 would have probably exceeded 60 mpg under similar conditions. I was predominantly in the left most lane, fewer vehicles, the three lanes to the right weren’t moving much faster and had many more vehicles on. What I did notice was when an artic container lorry pulled in after overtaking the instantaneous mpg jumped from 50 ish to 70 to 80 on the flat.

Always difficult to comment on one-off journeys, especially when quoting the display figures (unless confirmed to be accurate against measured refuels) but yes, a 52mpg return from a 2.0tsi would be pleasing. I'd estimate that a 1.0 or 1.5tsi version driven in a similar manner/environment as you describe would probably get around 60mpg as the 2.0tsi is a nice performance engine but not particularly economical. With regard to fuel, the general published consensus is that if your car is capable of adjusting to better quality fuel then you can expect about 1% improvement for each increase in RON rating and a little more if the better-quality fuel has lower levels of ethanol than the mandatory 10% in UK 95 RON fuel. Ethanol has 10% lower energy density that 'pure' petrol.

Agreed , just had the caraq for a test drive and it was not really that impressed, apparently its due a face-lift and upgrade which hasn't happened yet , which is disappointing for a new suv. . Kodiaq is impressive but bit pricy , but at least it got its upgrade.

My local independent did mine on my previous Karoq. It was something like £35 if I remember correctly. Skoda dealers simply don't deserve our custom except for warranty work.

I admit to bias - but I'd suggest the manual would be king - unless you used the DSG in manual mode while towing.

Mines exactly the same model and year hmm, unless it was an optional extra original owner asked for, I’ve got heated seats at the rear which I believe was optional

If I remember correctly, my error was in Infortainment Cente? Antenna, Short ( Water had got in under the fin)

Welcome to the forum. Just turn off the audio ECO advisories and use the gear appropriate for the load you are pulling.

I bought a Skoda roof rack for my Enyaq Coupe recently and couldn't attach the supplied rubber strips but found advise from an old Fabia post. I've attached photos to show you how. It is easy when you know how but your fingers know they've done a workout when completed! It's a great roof rack very quick and easy to put on/remove from the car. Start spotting in one edge first then start pushing from the opposite side NOT from above. The images should make sense. Just keep working your way up a few inches at a time:-) Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4

The big mpg killers are driving in town, roads which have many bends and speed limit changes and, despite what many will tell you, use of aircon. Our little car which does ~50mpg or more in normal conditions can't even reach 45mpg with auto aircon in the baking hot conditions we currently have. The general reason that cars get better mpg coming back is that they don't have to contend with starting from cold and the higher fuel consumption that results. My Karoq has done nearly 3000 miles according to the long term computer, at 49.8 mpg, and on the continent last month, when it was hot enough to crack our windscreen, we were getting 52 mpg even with the aircon running. Our best recorded figure on a trip, all be it a short journey, was over 80 mpg. About 10 miles, aircon off, about 940 feet drop in elevation.
