  1. Do you hear the noise with just the ignition on or only when the engine is running? Have you tried turning the AC and or heater fan on / off to see if it changes? When you open the bonnet where is the noise coming from? Use a funnel to help with direction. I use the centre core from a kitchen towel roll placed over one ear to help. Just keep moving your head to change the direction of the sound, aiming for the loudest point. Thanks. AG Falco
  2. Have you looked / listened under the bonnet? Thanks. AG Falco
  3. See this thread for help. page 2 Above. Thanks. AG Falco
  4. I think that Spark Plug replacement is at 4 Years or 40 K miles. It is on both my Fabia and Citigo. See here:- https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/servicing-maintenance-fixed-price Air filter is at 60 K but you need to move the air filter housing to do the spark plugs. So the Fabia's air filter was replaced at 40 k when the plugs were done by me. I will do the same on the Citigo which is due this year. Thanks. AG Falco
  5. Lump of wood and a bigger hammer from the inside would be my method. Slow and gentle with the end of the wood to have a curved end. No sharp edges. Work from the edges going all the way round. Don't forget to paint the outside of the spare wheel well after in case the paint is cracked. Thanks. AG Falco
  6. Look here for info:- Thanks. AG Falco
  7. True for both Skoda's I have. To encourage you to use dipped beam when driving ( at dusk ) I think is the reason. Thanks. AG Falco
  8. Which bulbs do you have? Where are you in the UK? Thanks, AG Falco
  9. This is incorrect. Was it fitted through one of the wheel bolt holes? The spare wheel spindle goes through the centre bore hole of the wheel. There is a raised dome on the boot floor, with the thread for the spindle, that centres the spare wheel when you put it in the boot. Then the tool kit fits in the centre of the upside down wheel. The size of your tyre is correct and I presume is the exactly the same as the rest on the car. Does the ( new / old ) spare wheel fit in the boot? Do you have a photo if the spare wheel and spare wheel hole? I have a larger tyre on a full size alloy wheel that fits in the hole. Has the spare wheel hole been hit / dented from the outside making the hole too small? Thanks. AG Falco
  10. I was quoting the ' Wings Skoda ' website. check the link provided. Thanks. AG Falco
  11. Headlamp bulbs tend to blow when they are turned on. If you have loose / poor wire connectors this can lead to the bulbs momentarily going off then. If you have loose / poor fitment of the bulb to the headlamp unit then bulbs tend not to last as long due to vibrations. See here from about 8.00 minutes in:- Glad you sorted it. Thanks. AG Falco
  12. Sorry, let me give more details. For the cars with 2 x H4 bulbs with 3 connectors , they are held in to the headlamp unit with a spring clip pushing on to the back of the metal collar part of the bulb. For the cars with 4 x H7 bulbs with 2 connectors, are held in to the headlamp unit by a twist clip which the bulb is fitted to first. So the tyre of bulb you have determines what way the bulb is held in/on to the headlamp unit. HTH Thanks. AG Falco
  13. This only turns off the Interior monitor and towing protection part. If the driver's door of a vehicle with a remote control is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder, then the alarm is triggered. The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle. But this will leave the car unlocked! What about pulling a fuse from the fuse box in the car :- number 17 is listed as 'Alarm system, horn. ' You might not have a working horn though. Thanks. AG Falco
  14. I check the alignment on all my cars a least once a year. They normally need adjusting. Don't assume that because it was done on you car 2.5 years ago it is still good now. What tyre pressures do you run? Was the alignment corrected after the spring was fitted? Thanks. AG Falco
  15. At 2.18 he is not braking. Look at his feet. He did just start to turn though? Thanks. AG Falco
  16. Was this for an EFB type Battery? Thanks. AG Falco
  17. For the H4 bulbs use a big flat headed screwdriver between the bulb and the connector. Lever one connection at a time just a little bit at a time and slowly / gently work it off. H7 type bulbs with two connectors. H4 type bulb with three connectors. Thanks. AG Falco
  18. What is the price of a new correct size battery? What is the price of a new key after fitting the wrong size battery? Just get a good quality right size one. Thanks. AG Falco
  19. Father Christmas delivered one to me last month. Look here for clues:- https://obdeleven.com/en/supported-vehicles Thanks. AG Falco
  20. CR2025 come with the car. This battery is 20mm in diameter and 2.5 mm thick. Hence 2025. CR2032 battery is 20mm in diameter but 3.2 mm thick. Hence 2032. So this one is 0.7 mm thicker. Know brands like Panasonic, Sony, Varta, Duracell, not the 10 for a £1 unknown brand. Thanks. AG Falco
  21. https://shop.wingsskoda.co.uk/products/skoda-front-bumper-spoiler-citigo Front bumper spoiler code. Rear roof spoiler code. note below For safety reasons, the front bumper spoiler can only be fitted in conjunction with the roof spoiler / 1ST 071 640B. See above link for details Thanks. AG Falco
  22. What size tyre/wheel do you have on the car and what size tyre/wheel is the spare. I have a full size alloy spare wheel and tyre which is exactly the same as the rest on the car that fits perfectly. The spindle that holds the spare wheel down goes through the centre bore hole of the wheel. see quote below. ''Fitted 5 new All Season tyres on Monday, one to an ebay bought spare alloy wheel that is the same at the ones on the car. This fits straight in the boot with the tool kit fitting inside it just like the normal steel spare did. This was the first time that any of the wheels had been removed from the car including the spare.'' Thanks. AG Falco
  23. So you have a ( some ) puncture ( s ) then. Probably rim seal type puncture ( s ). Thanks. AG Falco
  24. No. Only if you fit a new unit to the car, does the new unit need coding to the car. Thanks. AG Falco
