Hi all. Been a while since I've posted. Anyways, my daughter has a 2018 Monte Carlo and she's asked if any of you " Skoda Gods " could help her. The issue she is having is there is no signal for her DAB stations to work. Its been like this for a few months and its annoying her now. Is there anything she could do herself to rectify it ? I'm sure she mentioned she's tried a reset but I know zip about these systems and cant help her out. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Hey, checkout waxworx at Darlington. Jonny is a top bloke. I know he stocks them because I've bought one off him before. You'll find the one you need on their website. He will post it to you for a small fee.

Hi Marcus and a very warm welcome. Hope you enjoy the forum and hope you get some good pointers to keep your Octavia on the road .

As above

You could try what I did see here Sticking throttle peddle Worked for me . I think the new part (entire accelerator pedal ) retails at over £100 now.

How about small set of stillsons on the bolt head. Not sure about access to the other bolt mind but might get you away .

Thanks mate

Excellent stuff. I have all the tools you mentioned so will be having a bash ( when the weather gets better ) One last thing Lofty, I take it I will need to fit a new gasket when refitting the manifold ?

Thanks lofty. I reckon I'll do that. Would a burr be suitable or too aggressive. Have you ever done this before ?

Hi everyone and a happy new year. I'm hoping to remove my inlet manifold when the weather gets kinder. Reason being, when I had my EGR swapped out for a clean one (had a spare one in my garage) there was a noticeable amount of gunge/deposits visible in there. My mechanic advised me not to pick at it in situ, but remove it and clean it out the safe way. I'm wondering if there will be any cast marks inside the manifold and if so, would it be worthwhile removing them with an appropriate tool/flapper wheel ? Thanks in advance .

BORK !!!!!!!!!
