Try one first and see if you need a tool. I have done the spark plugs on my Fabia III TSI three times and on my Citigo twice. Never needed a tool, never had a problem. Thanks. AG Falco

Replacing recirculation flap motor
You can look at both flaps to see if they are in the correct place. One above the passengers toes should be flat closed, when not in recycle mode. One is under the bonnet scuttle panel also on the passenger side. This should be open when not in recycle mode. I operated the recycle button and watched the flaps to check they were ending up in the correct place before I fully refitted everything. When in recycle mode, the footwell one should be open, and the under bonnet flap closed. HTH Thanks. AG Falco

Just done car Service.
Had the car 10 Years from new and the car is now at 97500 miles. 10th Service and Seventh MOT done last year ( 2025 ) with nothing to report. 11th Service and Eighth Mot done last week (2026 ) with nothing to report. Still only had one MOT advisory in its life. Car is still on original brakes all round, original clutch, & battery. Apart from normal servicing it has wanted: - Lower front suspension arm rear bushes. ( the MOT advisory ) Passenger front electric window fuse! A look at / fix the AC recirculation flap motor housing. Lower front grill, that was both chewed by a rodent and head butted by a pheasant. Inner wing O-S-F plastic cover for access to headlight bulb that went AWOL. 3 AC re gas refills. Tyres, which do about 30K miles on the front. Some headlight bulbs. H7 Osram Nightbreaker's. Wipers front and rear. Engine consumes no oil between services and can still do above 60MPG on a good tank. Still like and plan to keep the car. Thanks. AG Falco

Jam Nuts Issue (Track Rod End)
Turn the steering wheel full lock, so that the TRE is outside the wheel arch. Use a long spanner and gently tap the other end with a mallet. HTH. Thanks. AG Falco

Replacing recirculation flap motor
Did mine today. First clue for me was the 'Clack, Clack, Clack' when going from recycle to fresh. The two screws on mine were both a 15 Torx and 5.5mm AF head in one. Would agree with @cliveb on removing the wire connectors on the glove box. I have OBDeleven so I can/have reset the Air bag light. And also cut the cable tie so that the motor assembly can be pulled down to undo the wire connector. I then pulled the assembly out. It looks like the same problem as @lewiswal47 and others have had. The Black cog has moved and opened the motor housing case apart. Also note that the red gear has gone past the stop point. My solution was to regrease, reassemble and then Cable Tie the housing back together. It is in the bottom right in the photo above where it pops apart. So made sure the cable tie was around the housing at this place. Now reassembled and all working with no 'Clack, Clacking' any more. Thanks. AG Falco

AirCon worked for a day after regas, what now? Good places for aircon work in Sheffield?
There is a low pressure side which most AC machines will check that it holds a vacumn. If it passes this test it will let you re-gas the car. This normally won't test the high pressure side of the system. So the machine will let you refill the AC gas without checking the high pressure side. A good clue that you have a leak is to see how much gas came out. The AC machine should record this. If there was no/very little gas in the system then unless it has not been checked for many years, get it checked for a leak in the hight pressure side as well. HTH. Thanks. AG Falco

TPMS Management
Most new TPMS sensors have replaceable valve stems. So no need for a new sensor, so long as the garage has one. There are over 40 different types! 😯 Thanks. AG Falco
