  1. Bolero system can have Android Auto where you can get satnav from your phone on the infotainment screen. Thanks, AG Falco
  2. Same on my Fabia III. Tyre in the boot is the same size as the ones on the car but just on a steel not an alloy. I think the stickers are put on the spare wheel by default when the car can come with a different size tyre on the car. Thanks, AG Falco
  3. What size tyre is on the rest of the wheels? It looks like you have a 205 45 16 tyre on a steel wheel as your spare. Is this the same size as the rest of your tyres? If it is then it's the same pressure as the rest. Tyre was made in late 2007. Thanks, AG Falco
  4. That is on the old type of locking wheel bolts. Some of these also have a hole in the centre of the key. The newer type are described as a flower pattern type, something like this:- Thanks, AG Falco
  5. Don't get alloy wheels stolen very often any more. I have removed them from both of my Skoda's and just fitted normal wheel bolts and normal caps. Lockers are made by Mcgard:- https://mcgard.com/automotive/wheel-locks/ Thanks, AG Falco
  6. Is this the before adjustment sheet or the after adjustment sheet? If it is the after sheet it looks like you have a total toe of 1 degrees and 20 minutes positive. There are 60 minutes in 1 degree so 20 minutes is 1/3 of a degree. The Fabia III should be 0 degrees and 10 minutes positive but plus or minus 10 minutes. So yours is over 1 degree out. Thanks. AG Falco
  7. Is this the before adjustment sheet or the after adjustment sheet? If it is the after sheet it looks like you have a total toe of 0 degrees and 20 minutes positive. There are 60 minutes in 1 degree so 20 minutes is 1/3 of a degree. The Fabia III should be 0 degrees and 10 minutes positive but plus or minus 10 minutes. So yours is just on the limit. Thanks AG Falco.
  8. You can also download maps off line with android auto and then you don't need any data connection. Thanks AG Falco
  9. Engines run cooler in the colder weather. I have also noticed this by looking at the engine oil temperature. In the summer it went above 100 C but in the winter it would only reach the low 80's C. I now block off part of the front grill in the winter months. The engine now warms quicker and will get to the low 90's C. I do this to all three car's I run. Thanks, AG Falco
  10. Or just open the bonnet, close and lock the car, then disconnect the battery. Thanks, AG Falco
  11. Fabia III is 0 degrees 10 Minutes total positive, if that helps. Thanks, AG Falco
  12. I think it needs to be a Skoda SD card to work. Thanks, AG Falco
  13. What car are you talking about? ( The Volvo? ) A Fabia III with the right equipment will display the map on the infotainment system and the sound from the cars speakers. Thanks, AG Falco
  14. What settings are they showing in Degrees and Minutes on the sheet? Thanks, AG Falco
  15. AGFalco replied to TQVRS's topic in Tyres & Wheels
    On one of my cars I swapped the tyres from a 155 80 13 tyre to a 175 70 13 tyre on the same 5J wide rim. The tread width on the 155 tyre was about 105 mm. The tread width on the 175 tyre was about 135 mm. So a 20 mm wider tyre but with an increase of 30 mm in tread width. Thanks, AG Falco
  16. No. No rear wash or wipe required for an MOT. Something like this might work? :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/UNIVERSAL-WINDSCREEN-WASHER-SCREENWASH-CONNECTOR/dp/B07ZQNBV4L/ref=sr_1_6?crid=MB2PGQS0RM7O&keywords=car+washer+pipe+connector&qid=1645126602&sprefix=car+washer+pipe+%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-6 Thanks, AG Falco
  17. Who would have both a Citigo and a Fabia III. 👈 Thanks, AG Falco
  18. No. No rear wash or wipe required for an MOT. Thanks, AG Falco
  19. Would a layer of Rain-x help? Thanks, AG Falco
  20. Don't assume a tyre called 'All Season' has the 3PMSF marking. 'Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season' and 'Pirelli Cinturato All Season' tyres are available both with the three peak mountain snowflake symbol and without in some sizes. Pirelli use the acronym SF ( snowflake ) for the ones with, so you can tell the difference. https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-gb/car/catalogue/season/all-season Tyres are too complicated these days if you ask me. Thanks, AG Falco
  21. Yes, good quality all season is the way to go. I ran winters for 5 years but down here it was an overkill for me. Thanks. AG Falco
  22. On two of my cars I run Vredestein Quatrac 5 as my winter tyres, from Oct / Nov to March / April. I run summers for the rest of the year, and have done this since 2009 with one car. I am also from down south and have had no problem even with snow covering the roads. They are almost to good compared to driving the car I have with summers in snow. Had a BMW X5 car driver stop me at a bottom of a steep hill to say to me:- ' You wont get up that hill as I can't in mine and I have a £40.000 4 x 4.' I thanked him and promptly accelerated up the hill, smiling to myself in my Fiat Panda. The only downside is the number if tyres I have, 28 at the minute. Thanks. AG Falco
  23. In my experience you can't expect a Tyre manufacture to have an up to date website. Mytyres are based in Germany so they supply the tyres from Germany. Michelin might not import that size in to the UK. Thanks. AG Falco
  24. Headlights don't come out easily on the Mk III. Are you local to N Dorset? Thanks. AG Falco
