Just visited my Indy garage and after a scan and visual inspection it seems the indicator bulb/light strip is partially blown..he said it's a pig of a job to fit a new indicator and cost is well over £100.. Has anyone done this job? Will start searching the web to see how it can be done

many thanks auto electrician here I come

I have just checked if other lights coming on..nothing else showing all good.

hopefully I'm in the right section..every time I indicate to turn right the small green headlight icon on the dash flashes faintly as well. all bulbs working and no codes stored. also no issues turning left.

No I don't think it is a fair point that Brad makes and I take exception to it in every way possible. It is ill informed, ignorant and patronising at the very least. But on seeing where this member is from it explains all. Plank of the highest order. I was just asking what part of the car the bolts were fitted to. That's all. To get responses like this are not helpul and to be honest I really cant see myself using this site again. Good bye

That's a great pic and shows exactly the info I need.Thanks for that .Must be some type of subframe .

I was more worried about actually getting the screw to turn without shearing the head off it.It was that tight as if welded to the alloy. That is what has prompted the argument as the alloy looks to me like part of the engine.

Well folks I did the brake fluid change at the weekend and I discovered a slight problem whilst doing it. Connected everything up correctly and ensured the spare tyre had only 15psi in it. When I opened the bleed nipple up on any wheel not only did I get fluid coming out of caliper but also from what I think is the underside of the brake fluid reservoir. The cap on the car reservoir was tight and could see no leak from this. I didn't perform a pressure test prior to the procedure so this was my only omission. Therefore I am assuming the leak has come from the master cylinder. Is this a possibility? The car is 4 years old so am thinking maybe the seals aren't very good. Any views on this as my thoughts are seals should last a bit longer.Car brakes okay at present . One final thing is that this is the first brake fluid change the car has had. Many thanks again David

This may seem a very weird question but the answer will settle a pub argument. I changed my engine oil on Saturday and therefore had to remove the undertray. What a job that was purely down to trying to unscrew the 3 screw type bolts at the rear of the tray. Eventually did it but through the whole process I was very worried about whether I could remove them without causing damage etc.At least I didn't have to rip the tray off as some have done in the past according to other posts etc. Anyway question is what part of the car or engine are these 3 screws fastened to.They are screwed into alloy and not steel cross members and it looks to me like they are screwed to the engine casing or some such.Can someone please advise as it was a fairly vibrant discussion we had in the pub. Regards David

I would trust an Indy who comes recommended certainly for this job. Its not in his interests to cut corners if he wants you back for things like belt changes etc. Just check your fluid etc before it goes in and see if theres any change in colour when it comes out.Maybe also check the brake nipples for evidence they have been bled etc.I would use Pagid from ECP no probs and its very cheap at present.Used it for years on my Saabs.I,m buying 2 ltres for when I bleed my brakes next week and am also changing the fuel and air filter as well.Mind you I didn't get those from ECP but from that good auction site.Approx £6.75 each for good OEM filters. Regards David

I have the Eezibleed on order and will have a good look at all videos etc on using this. will be careful bleeding as well as don't want any air in the system.

Thanks for that John, I will definitely bleed the clutch armed with the info you provided. Very helpful all of you who have replied.David

Thanks tech1e. I just thought it would be best if I follow what I think is the right procedure. New to all this Skoda stuff and its a bit different to my old saab 9 3 where I knew a hell of a lot as to what to do. I will be doing the brakes in the next few weeks so we will see how it goes.Now to track down a cruise control retrofit. Good info here though and much appreciated.David

Thanks a lot guys. Looks like its a little bit more complicated than I thought and really scuppers my task of getting this fitted for a reasonable price if I have to go to a main dealer etc. Will just have to watch my speed on the long journeys unless I find a dealer with a good supply and fit offer. Pity though as I really think cruise control is a must on long trips,Cheers anyway.David

Been doing much research on this. Do I bleed the clutch from somewhere on top of gearbox ? cheers
