My 19” vegas are rough Kerbs, clear coat is flaking, worming Debating a few things Upgrading to 20” vegas Refurbing these, but I don’t know what colour to go for, not a fan of the diamond cut lips etc so would prefer a solid colour over it all Or leaving them and buying aftermarket Advice Anyone fitted 20” vegas?

I have a huge list of mods And I truly don’t know where to start first 🥲

Sorry, forgot to close this off. The Skoda dealer in Dundee charged me £80 to diagnose the pump and then £265 to change the pump. It was a warranty job hence the dealership, but the warranty only paid me £9 for the pump as they said they check GSF parts for price!!!!!!!! Anyway a £9 pump was the issue all along. Lesson learned for any future parts.

I’d love to put eibach springs on mine but can’t justify the work to do it. So might buy them to sit in the shed awaiting it needing some suspension work….

Thanks!

UK distributors as follows:

It has standard shocks. The Bilstein B6 24-229890 seems to be the one to go for. I fitted B6's to the rear of my 2010 BMW 330D 4 years ago. They've worked fine on that car.

I have the same problem, stuck in emergency dowload loop. Can you help?

Hi guys / girls , I got my new Octavia vrs plus Saturday and this morning the crystal lighting really looked good , my question is really do I just leave my main beam on all the time or if I do a certain speed will it kick in itself ?? Sorry to sound thick but I’ve never had lights like this before

Interesting….

Hi. If you need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

I have a similar problem, but mine is the fuse overheating. I have cleaned the contacts a few times to little and now to no avail. Any suggestions on how to bypass the allocated fuse or a fix?

Not sure if or how it might help, but here's an image from an ebay listing for a fuel tank that shows the fairly large array of pipework that may be involved. I guess the fuel feed from pump to filter and fuel return from filter are obvious, then I think the white one that goes past those and down the front of the tank must be the EVAP breather line from charcoal canister heading for the purge valve in the engine bay, and the two connections on the top appear to go to the filler neck fairly close to the filler flap, part of the tank venting system I suppose.

Yes

If it’s as flexible as he claims I wonder if you can code any buttons on standard steering wheel to act as dsg change on a wheel without dsg paddles 🤔

I don’t need but I thought it would be useful for others.

Can i make also

Hi bazz2004 Thanks for the advice. I had been down the proper legal channels but because there is no solid physical evidence of the fault it's just my word, and I am just a woman! So they had my car in for a few days, gave me a courtesy car, and drove mine around for a couple of hundred of miles and eventually said they thought I was catching the speed limiter switch when flicking the indicator which was on 20mph and gave the same kind of feeling I described during limp mode......I had an awakening.....what am I doing trying to fight this big cooperation with no power behind me except advice from cab over the phone. I'd had enough I took the courtesy car back, was told if I have any more trouble to go back , I took my car and nothing has happened to the fabia in the 2 weeks since. I could not stand the pressure of it any longer, just not worth the stress....and that's exactly what they hope to happen!

As I’m always one to resurrect an old thread… Was browsing instagram the other day and came across a bloke who has made an open source lin to can/can to lin etc adaptor. Universal for any PQ/MQB steering wheel to any steering wheel. looks interesting. https://forbes-automotive.com/products/lin-mfsw-controller https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdR4JF5sBRx/?psln=MTFnbzJ1bjF2MjZzeA== Also doing some very interesting stuff with haldex controllers

Hi. First post here. Hoping someone can help My car is a 1.2 HTP mk 2 2010 Fabia estate. There is a leak from the fuel tank which happens when I am filling it. It only leaks when the tank is just about full. Petrol comes out under the car. Looks like it is emerging at the front of the tank. Looses a couple of litres then stops so the source must be quite high up. Some petrol pools in the well for the fuel pump but it’s definitely not leaking through the pump seal. That leaked petrol seems to get there through a small hole which is in the metal panel under the seat about 6 in back from the fuel pump. Hopefully someone can suggest what the problem. And how easy/difficult a fix it could be. Dropping the tank looks like a right pain….. Thanks!!
