Hi again! Just letting you know I ordered a part corresponding with 6Q1 423 893M and 6Q1 423 893H and it worked out. It was 16mm. Thanks for your help Pete

Well he looks a complete **** and exactly the sort of person I thought might be stupid enough to have bought it... 🤣

Left foot braking is disengaging drive. Well not for me as i have only a left foot so it works the accelerator or brake pedal but not both at once and for 17 years of driving DSG,s using one foot and D, S or R i have never had issues parking or have a vehicle creep.

2016 Fabia Monte Carlo here. I had this issue on both windows after picking it up new a month or so ago. Tried lubing up the weatherstrips as recommended here with not much luck. After looking a little more into them I saw that one of the weatherstrips had folded over about half way along and was rubbing, causing some noise. Pulling it back into place fixed that side thank god. The other window had the noise coming from from somewhere else, deeper in the door, so I had the door card off to see what was what. In the end, it sounded like the noise was coming from the front rail of the window regulator. The fix I found was to get in through one of the bung holes inline with the regulator rail and spread (admittedly a little too much) red grease on the rail and slider, running it up and down 10-15 times. It's not come back yet, so knock on wood I think that's fixed it.

I came across this before in my son in laws vw caddy. Never seen one before. It disables the cars rear fog light and also the rear parking sensors plus a few other things to do with stability control. You can get a 13 pin socket with microswitch. Alasdair

Lots of things last longer than five years.

Welcome to the forum. As glowplug number three is the only one incorporating a pressure sensor, that does stand out. Were you able to read absolute boost pressure?

If it's the same as any other VAG group car then yes it does.

I did email their service manager for an explanation of the two different prices, he didn't bother to answer..

@Warrior193 yeah I guess I’m sticking to the fab for a while longer. Shame really I did want to celebrate passing my probation for my new job. But I’m going Egypt for my birthday this year so I’ll just enjoy that a bit harder with my lil lady. i did explain insurers will ask for MOT after car is written off regardless if it had a valid one before the accident. And true out there is the same Spec but with a seller that doesn’t have to omit any details. and I’ve had a look at the link and explained my offer further so let’s see. MOT expires in November anyway.

Is there a proper full Service History for the Ex NHS car? At least 2 Haldex Services, Annual or sooner oil changes, brake fluid done at least twice etc etc.

I’ve moved this to mk3, as I think the questions are mostly about the 2019 car.

Crumbs, the Land Cruiser must have had a hard life! - those things are practically bomb-proof!

Seal came today. Really easy fit, just need something to hook the old seal out. The old seal was quite compressed, i think it stopped clicking as well when you tighten the cap up. It clicks again now. £3.25 delivered, much better than the £64 Skoda quoted to just change the seal... Pic is the old one, the cracks are quite obvious once you get it in the light.

Common on totally standard Yeti,s with Haldex. Much depends on age rather than miles covered and location location location as in weather, salted roads. Rusty Coupling, also cracking rubber. But often the obvious cracking is not an issue.

hi there regarding the drs car does it have holes drilled in the exterior body panels etc like a emergency response vehicle roof mounted lights etc ? if so i would stay away . You usually find that half a dozen electricians have been at it will god knows what ever wiring .. The other car maybe older but hasnt been messed about with

It sounds as if you have made the best decision - plenty of genuine vehicles out there. Not important now and something I missed originally - did this vehicle have high-intensity (HID or LED) headlights? IIRC missing HL washers is very likely an MOT failure.

Forgot to ask, if this is more common on cars with stage 1 or higher, or does this also concern stock version as well in same ratio?

Following the detailed guidance on utube. I successfully dislodged the right plastic scuttle enough to get my hand in and removed the cabin filter and it’s. Frame. Replaced the filter the correct way into the frame. Then after a bit of blood, sweat and swearing I have managed to fit the filter and frame in place. Re seated the plastic scuttle . However the top rubber element of the scuttle being over 20 years old has perished. Do I need to apply something to replace the seal it made against the windscreen? If so what?

Thanks, MikeI... I only have one "page" of apps, and it only has three items on it (Sound, Laura and Phone). There's no swiping in either direction, and no sign of a Traffication app. Thank you, too, Rifleman. I have the "MySkoda" app (8.15.0), and there's no "Paid Services" item under Profile, (or anywhere else in the App) It remains a mystery to me. best, M.

Ah, i see ☹️ .. Thanks for the clarification.

Well if you’re going to remove the bilsteins before selling it I’ll have them! 😜

I think that this one is just not meant to be, come to realise that these feel better when fully loaded etc, must be how the rake is other wise I feel the rear is always light but its more stable now with the Bilsteins

That’s a shame as the cars are great. Bristos on the other hand, not so much!
