Hi all. I’ve yet to see it mentioned but my 2016 Octavia VRS estate had a leak from the connector port on top of the coolant reservoir. If I moved the connector plug back and forward you could hear the high pressure leak. this was getting the plug wet and I am sure would have led to electrical issues longer term. hope this might help someone else. pretty simple job to do with some hose clamps.

Yes it did. Sold the car a few years ago though

Yes purchases new ones and adjusted the fixing position for the boot latch

Hi all. thought I’d add that I’ve done Mine and tapped into the power to wiper motor. black and purple, earthed to nut for lock mechanism. all working. Blue sea sky b1w

There’s another post on here about this - lower left engine mount if you search. Known mqb fault when turning left only. Hope that helps. Let us us all know if it is that.

Another good video channel - video servicing the vaq

Very good you tube channel and how to turn it off via vcds. Thank me later

Thanks for the reply. Some tyre website bring up the 235 as default which is odd. Seems to be little gains from changing size except cost unless anyone can advise? Thanks.

I need to change two front tyres so want to wear out the mid range 225 on the rear by moving them to the front. My question is could I run with 235 on the rear until the fronts wear out and would there be any handling issues?? Secondly would the ride improve moving to 235?? thanks ryan.

Has it got dog bone insert? Believe this causes judder

Thanks both. Well ive given up. Screws turning on one fixing points but not coming out. One screw the head had already gone so makes me think the previous owner tried and failed to spruce them up. One other fixing point the plastic came away -hoping three fixing points will be sufficient to hold it on. ive admitted defeat. Sad face. Contemplated bumper off but not enough time to do it. Even if I do get the bumper off two screws are stuck. Thanks again ryan

I started trying to remove exhaust tips on my vRs so could respray but screws on both sides rusted / crusted up. If if I remove the bumper are the tips attached to the bumper or the car? thanks in advance Ryan

Have you noticed a improvement and less road noise? where did you source the rubber striping from?

Do you mind sharing the price of smart link install and which garage? thanks ryan

Won’t play on my iPhone ?

Can you use Bluetooth audio and also the wired connection too? if my wife wanted to play her songs via Bluetooth but I wanted my phone for the CarPlay features? cannitnwork like that or does the CarPlay overide this? sorry rey to butt in.

Check with Briskoda parts - ‭01905 346808‬ sure theyll be cheaper and get them delivered to your door

Clear black or carbon from reviewing their site. Im not on commission but maybe I should be!

Sprayer not ‘separated’ pictures are in wrong order too but you get the idea. Ryan

Hi. Fitted the protective wrap. Application easy, garden separated with two drops fairy liquid in litre worked well. Press gently when smoothing as per the video. Hardly noticeable when installed. For the price compared to rearguards I’m very happy Ryan

All done. Removal tools were the saviour. No clips broken either. New switch in and working. £15 eBay genuine from salvage of a 17 plate versus £113 brand new.

Thanks for the info. My task for tomorrow!

Thanks.

Can the boot switch be removed from the outside with a plastic trim removal type tool or does the internal panel of the boot need removing to work from the back? new part. Old switch in situ.

So has the petrol got a fuel filter? Im confused.
