Part of 2 of wheel refurbishment. I'm feeling a bit uncertain about what to do next. Has anyone opted to have their wheels powder-coated instead of diamond-cut? Some people have mentioned that while diamond-cut wheels look great initially, they haven't lasted long before corrosion starts creeping back. I'd be keen to hear your thoughts—what’s been your experience?

I own a 2013 Octavia VRS, and the alloys are in need of refurbishment. Has anyone used a company they would recommend? I’m specifically looking to have them diamond cut rather than just powder coated. Looking for options in the Glasgow area.

Update - Car has been in the garage oil pan gasket is leaking. Parts ordered and getting replaced. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the suggestions. Car is booked in for investigation.

I have just discovered a minor oil leak (for just now). It seems to be coming from the back of the engine low down from what I can tell. Anyone any ideas as to where this leak maybe. Octavia VRS petrol 2013 92000 miles I have owned the car since 2014 and it is serviced yearly.

Update, Car was scanned. Error showing to do with heat pump. Drove the car this morning and I can hear the pump again when I turn the ignition off. Pump must be on it was out.

Hi what is dtc? and would this pump if it has failed not put on the engine management light. Is this pump called electric coolant pump or does it have another name? Had the car on a longish drive today with no issues. Is this something that I should get looked at straight away?

Hi, Looking for some advice owned my VRS 2013 petrol for about 7 years now (80000 miles) and it's been a great car. For a long as I have owned it when I turn the engine off I have always heard a fan/pump noise which radiates from behind the dash and lasts anything from 1 to 2 minutes maybe longer before it shuts off. I noticed the other day that this seems to have stopped or is just not as noisey. Car drives as it has for the last 7 years. Temperature sits at 90 as normal Oil temperature is ok as well. All fluids are as to be expected. Climate control working. No warning lights. Is Is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks in advance.

Sorry I never got to the bottom of it.
