I use a Bosch P7143 oil filter. Fitted 12 so far. Boa constrictor to remove the oil filter and 19mm socket for the sump plug. On the oil front I use a C3 oil not a C5 oil. 0W-20 is only the viscosity of the oil. Thanks. AG Falco

NO. Euphemism for beginning to leak, I think. 😉 Thanks. AG Falco Is it in the fuel tank? Thanks. AG Falco

1.2 TSI 90. ( basically the same engine, just a different map to the 110. ) Just had its 9th MOT yesterday. Clean bill of health with good results on the emissions and brake tests. 10th service done today. No problems. Battery beginning to age but Stop/Start still works! Will test it again when I do my pre winter check in Oct/Nov. Resistance not too high yet. Thanks. AG Falco

OBDEleven did it for me. 2023 car. Thanks. AG Falco

I have programmed the lane assist on one of my car's to remember its last setting after an ignition cycle. So I can turn it on, but it's default state is off. Thanks. AG Falco

I checked the the cambelt replacement times as recommended by the belt manufacture before I ordered my Fabia. The information was out there back in 2015. I can't complain about my Fabia I bought in June 2016. The only thing I have changed are the lower front suspension arm rear bushes at £25.00. The rest is just normal servicing parts, and tyres which do 30+K miles. Now at 9 years old and at 88K miles it still has:- Original brakes all round, cam belt, battery, clutch, shocks. I have got a rubber seal on the rear brake caliper to replace but that is due to external damage. £20.00 road tax / VED. Last tank of fuel was at 62 MPG. Thanks. AG Falco

Air con only works when the engine is working. Is the new battery the correct one for the car? Have you bench/mains charged the new battery since it became flat? Is the new battery faulty? Alternator / battery warning light ( with the engine running ) won't light up until the volts are very low. Thanks. AG Falco

If the photos are of the fronts then they don't look new to me. Thanks. AG Falco

Most garages wont do anything mechanical/spend any money until it is sold. Do the rears look new? Part numbers are for rear brakes. Thanks. AG Falco

I was using genuine parts. The fixing holes were all there but the ones on the inner side were behind a layer of underseal. Both sides had the same number of fittings. At the front of the inner arch liners I needed some extra parts. See my post on the fitting needed for more details, as listed above. Thanks. AG Falco

An MOT brake test might confirm any brake issue. The test will check each wheel/brake individually. The parts fitted list you have, include front brake disks, brake pads and a set of shims for the pads to sit in. Thanks. AG Falco

just don't forget to program the new battery to the car when fitted. Thanks. AG Falco

Have you got an EFB type battery or an AGM type? Thanks. AG Falco

Which is an 096 type battery. Some battery manufactures will use a different code. Thanks. AG Falco

The car works out what gear you are in by the engine speed and the road speed. ie with mine at 55 MPH and at 2000 RPM = 5th gear, and at 20MPH and at 2000 RPM = 2nd gear. What milage is it on? Sounds like a clutch issue? Can you start the car in gear? Be careful if you try this! Thanks. AG Falco

On my TSI I have changed them three times and never had a problem at all. Always just come out, without using any special tools / tricks. Thanks. AG Falco

Yes there is a delay in the info becoming saved. This is in case any mistakes/errors/omissions want updating. Thanks. AG Falco

Info found and emailed to you. Thanks. AG Falco

Done. Thanks. AG Falco

If this ( and previous ) service records for the car were done by a Skoda Dealer it should be recorded on this site. Any Skoda dealer should be able to do a print out for you. Or I can check. Thanks. AG Falco

Do you want me to look at what is on ERWIN for the car? erWin is the Electronic Repair and Workshop Information service from Skoda Auto Thanks. AG Falco

They can be a bit enthusiastic with the free checks. They might suggest you need XYZ. Then you have more complications to work out. Have you had the full Skoda Service details? Where are you based. approx county? Thanks. AG Falco

NO! Thanks. AG Falco

So it will be slightly over on the service. I wouldn't worry about it. Just book it now for when you are back. Thanks. AG Falco

Check for a broken wire in the part of the loom that goes from the top of the body to the boot lid. The wires are covered in a black rubber sheath. This is where they get bent and can break. Open the boot lid first. Thanks. AG Falco.
