Thank you.

Hello everyone, and apologies in advance if this subject have been done to death, but I am struggling to establish if my car has a DQ200 gearbox. Details Below Octavia 1.6 tdi Registered November 2015. Any help greatly appreciated.

I had a similar issue. After pressing every button known to man, it turned out to be the cable. The connect is still not very reliable.

Rather than get bogged down on how many miles or years before changing the fluid, just test it. Testers are inexpensive or your friendly mechanic would test it for you The job be can be done in 5 minutes.

I was concerned that my recently acquired Octavia had only 4mm on the front pads, measured with the wheels on using a drill bit as a thickness gauge. The service history suggests that the pads had only done 17k. The pads were Brembo's.

Thanks for making me aware of the Silca bag issue. I've just removed mine, a bit fiddly but not difficult. Will change coolant at next service.

I'm not losing sleep about it, the car runs and starts fine. I just like thing to work properly.

Don't worry, they all do it. It's just the car managing it temperature.

Thanks for your replies. Living without it. Is no great hardship.

Hello, When I display state of charge, I get this? The car works faultlessly. Any ideas? Thank you.

I used a 6" ruler to prise the glass out, worked a treat.

With my cynical head on I would say, if the Halfords battery was under warranty it was unlikely to fail the test. I'm sure the main stream tyre fitting companies will test your battery for free, and the output from your alternator.

We moved a bull dog last week, she was built like a brick lavatory, but we still had room for a chihuahua.

Thank you.

Hi Dave, thank you, that explains a lot.
