Glad you got one sorted. Should of gone the petrol route. :p

multifunction steering wheel?

Never seen one of these engines before in the flesh but im sure it changable from the top. Some one will be along soon to tell you. Sometimes I think to my self that if you not able to locate an oil filter you should not be servicing your car.

I always treat my girl with Shell V power nitro petrol :p I seen a minor increase in fuel economy but not enough to justify it on that basis alone. My car is mapped and does perform better on the better fuel.

I had my previous mazda 3 2.0 diesel done and it really didnt do much for performance even with a custom map.

Make sure you get the DPF gutted out and not removed as this will fail an MOT.

I have full VCDS. In Darlington.

Usually you agree to pay the diagnostic charge if no fault is found or the fault is not covered by warranty. I would imagine that the diagnostic charge will be included in the warranty claim. Maybe the dealer is trying to make a few more quid.

Hi all, Can i please have some advice. I have an error code that keeps coming back and am advised i need to log the N75 duty cycle. Can any1 point me in the direction that if I was to do it myself. What software I would need to purchase. I can see lots on ebay that are really cheap but then the original that is very expensive. Whats the difference and will it do the job?
Thanks in advance.

I have had a 2009 2.0 petrol and a 2007 2.0 diesel. Good cars in my opinion just watch for rust on rear arches. I also work at a mazda dealer and dont see many issues at all. Cant fault the 2 I have had.

Would of rather gone the cash route. Bodyshop of my choice and a written quote. Plus no claim on file regardless of fault as this generally still puts up your premium. In the worse case scenario and she wouldnt go with the bodyshop of your choice, then insurance it is...

Hi all,
I am looking at maybe upgrading my brakes to bigger ones. I get a little confused with the fitment of things but it seems alot just fit right on. Can anyone advise me on what I could look at doing in combination with my standard 18" alloys. I quite like the look of the Audi TTRS brakes. Also would this kind of thing need declaring to my insirance? and if so does it usually put the premium up or down being a brake upgrade?
Many thanks in advance.

30 mins for me and I can do this :p

What power is it now running? Do you have a graph?
-
That isn't the particular seller I used but is the same as what I have which is the V2.1 not the 1.5.
Thanks

I have always used one I got off ebay with no issues at all. My brother also uses the same one.

Custom remap all day long, tailored to the vehicle. All vehicles perform slightly different to each other. I would never go a tuning box or generic remap.

A service and a cheapo valet....
In your mind a service is probably a 2 pound oil filter and 10 pounds worth of cheap 'oil'. The car will get a full service, MOT, tyres, brakes, fluids and any other repairs it needs to meet used car specs of a dealer. Fair enough some cars don't need much and make good money. I see a lot of cars go out at a loss because of poor checks prior to trade in. Lets also not forget that the salesman gets commission on that. Just because the car was bought in at lets say 5,000 and was sold for 7,000 does not mean the dealer are greedy and have made 2 grand.

I work at a dealer and you would be surprised how much prep work goes into a car after trade in. Just because they have only given a customer X amount does not mean that is what it stands them. I see cars every day get 100's and 1000's spent on them. You cant expect a dealer to give you top whack for a car and not do any work to it. I see even the cleanest of cars still getting money spent on them because the customer cannot see what a workshop technician can. The dealer I work at services every car upon delivery to a customer regardless of when it was last done. Even the valeter washing it on the forecourt 10 times a day costs the dealer.

Skodaparts.com have come up with the answer: 1Z0858069BH2AU is what I need, the colour is 2AU Finely Turned Aluminium, only snag is the price - an eye-watering £76! Will order one when finances allow, that's a whole tank full of diesel.
Thanks to all you Briskodians who helped sort this headache, no thanks to Skoda for making a simple trim part so f***ing hard to identify.
Have you priced one up with the dealer? Mine only cost £38 but was listed elsewhere for double the price.

I used this website to guide me to right type and colour and got part number and ordered from tps for £38.

I swapped from a bolero to a columbus with no issues at all. Have you had the columbus coded to the car?
