  1. A decent garage or fast fit place (so not Kwik Krap or Halfrauds) will do it for free, on the understanding that they get the business if you need a replacement.
  2. Can't tell from a photograph; you need to measure cam timing to single degrees. So you need a dial gauge or a vernier to measure to the required accuracy.
  3. No. The stock QI units have 1xH4 (headlight) and 1xH3 (fog light) each side. I can't remember the bulb codes, but the plasma discharge units have 3 bulb connectors each side, so the fogs will work if the connectors reach, but the headlights are single elements for dip and main beam.
  4. This seems like a far from standard engine to me.
  5. I wouldn't say it's "just Skoda" but all makers who use "auto dipping" (too late for considerate driving) headlights.
  6. Which is maybe a bit less directive than I stated, but is in line with the answer you'd get from the DVLA. Note again that this is a statement of UK requirements and not of Irish ones.
  7. Option on Elegance, L&K and possibly vRS models. I don't know the relevant Irish laws but in the UK you'd need to fit headlight washers (may be present on Elegance and L&K) and headlight self-leveling.
  8. Good time to point out that you can get 3 Fabias or 2 Karoqs for the price of one Enyaq?
  9. Perhaps you should do so yourself first? A teardrop or aerofoil at a wrong angle of attack is very draggy, and the actual drag of a vehicle is established by multiplying its cd by its frontal area.
  10. I'll bet it has a higher frontal area though.
  11. Maybe try and remember that we don't all actually have your car instead of getting sarky with people.
  12. You have heard of handbrakes and transmission locks?
  13. Of course the Superb is a proper car and not a Suburban Useless Vehicle.
  14. Inside the fuel filler flap? Also, I think the wheel width may have a bearing on tyre pressure.
  15. OTOH I don't know anyone who's got more than 4 years out of a stop/start battery, and 3 years is much more typical.
  16. After backtracking a year to check the context, that was exactly my point. An OS "designed for gamers" seems eminently avoidable if you don't game.
  17. Timing chains do not require routine replacement like belts do.
  18. All this tells me is that you don't know how stop/start works. If the engine is hot, and the stop/start battery is well charged, then it will stop the engine and restart it if and only if the car is stopped and placed in neutral, clutch engaged. The initial start is on the main battery, not the stop/start one, and if you're not stopped stop/start will not cycle.
  19. @Tabarak I meant Drain for OHF arch; see this thread for an example.
  20. Some are even easy enough that SWMBO can do them! Have her perform 10 minutes of flaperobics. (semi-randomly pressing ventilation control buttons, including same one 2 or 3 times in a row)
  21. Contrarywise, because the stop/start battery clearly is flat.
  22. Ah no. I'm used to the pollen filter being on the left side.
  23. Ok; water gathering in the plenum chamber for the pollen filter is a possibility then. As is the train for the LH wheel arch being choked at the bottom.
  24. I'd recommend using an open-ended spanner, not a crescent spanner, on the central post, but yes a ring spanner on the nut.
  25. Which is the driver's side? You've not told us and it's pretty critical to my idea.
