Wiper Blades
I have found that all of the Bosch blades I have ever fitted have only lasted five minutes, I am not a fan. I have taken Bosche blades off after less than 6 months and very few miles as they have been juddering and very noisy. Buy cheap buy twice. Original replacement Skoda blades have now been on well over 12 months with no issues. The fronts. https://www.theskodashop.co.uk/products/skoda-front-wiper-blade-set-octavia-iii?_pos=4&_sid=f21c01525&_ss=r The Bosch also have a different size for the passenger side about 25mm longer. The rear. https://www.theskodashop.co.uk/products/skoda-rear-wiper-blade-octavia-iii?_pos=1&_sid=f21c01525&_ss=r

Carista capabilities
I enabled it on my 65 plate tsi with Carista, you either have to have the subscription or like I did did it in the free subscription period. I have since bought OBD11 though, HBA works fine.

Nivalis wheel, how much?
Have used them for smaller items, not certain they will post a wheel be worth getting in touch first i think. Or take the part number to a local dealer and ask there how much?

Spare wheel foam
I have Just put mine in, but I found the driver fit better underneath the jack handle, there is a cut out which seems to fit it perfectly. My wheel has the part number 5E0601011E. 3 1/2J X 18R ET25.5 with 125/70/R18 tyre, it is not a continental tyre on this one either, it's a Maxxis but the tool kit is identical to slicendice's

No air from vents
Coming back from Cornwall today, I noticed the temperature in the car was getting quite warm, so I checked the climate control and set it down to 17 degrees. The fan speed went up but the air was not blowing into the cabin and the car cabin temp just got hotter. Quite a few miles further on there was a change in the fan note and the air started to come through and has been ok since. This did happen before funnily enough on the way down to Cornwall last year, it was raining and the fans were not clearing condensation from the screen because no air was being blown through. it was as if a flap had not opened or something. Was going to look for a fault code with OBD Eleven but got an error message on that "device is not Authorised" Only had the OBD eleven for 2 months, not happy with it. Anyone had anything similar happen or any ideas? thanks
