Hiya, do you know if it’s on the driver or passenger side?

Header Tank Silica Bag Fault
Curvy replied to Qualityman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Resurrecting this thread . . . . having been scared half to death reading about silica leaks, I went out and checked my expansion tank (2017 Suberb 1.4TSI). Thank goodness, no 'Mit Silika' on the tank and no sign of a bag. The tank is still marked G13. My question is, as I don't have the Silika, how is the protective silicon in my system replenished? Or are there no components on this particular engine that are likely to corrode over time? Or will my service schedule stipulate periodic coolant replacement? Thanks in advance! -
Thanks guys - @Viking is the Superb the sme as the Passat in your video?

My daughter has lost a ring in our car - Superb Mkiii Estate, down the hole that the seatbelt fasteners come up through. As the seat bases don't fold forward, it looks like i'm going to have to try to remove the seat base. Could someone give me a clue as to how to go about this please? Thanks in advance.

Well . . . . I fitted the head unit yesterday and for the money it's a fab piece of kit. It came with a Canbus decoder, a little black plastic box that plugs into the wiring loom supplied. It was an easy half hour job. I just need to order a fascia trim to cover the holes and we're done. It turns off with the key, so short of having a flat battery this morning when I go out, all is good in da hood!!

Wicked buddy thanks for your help! -
I'm about to replace the Stream unit in my car - 2006 1.6 FSI elegance estate - with a Hizpo satnav/media player . Some of the wiring options depend on whether the vehicle is fitted with Canbus. Could anyone please advise me whether my car is fitted or how I could find out please? Can anyone link me to a trim I could fit to make it all sit nice and neat? The unit I've bought is here . . . https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HZ92PBU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_ZsY2jkgbhHMts Many thanks :-)

I've decided to replace the one coil pack that hasn't been replaced. Is there a preferred make of coil pack that forum members could recommend? Also what is the designation/part number? 2006 1.6 FSI estate elegance. I should be able to tell from receipts which cylinders have had the packs replaced, but I need to know how the cylinders are numbered . . . Left to right? Right to left? Looking into the bonnet from front or in direction of travel? Thanks in anticipation . . . -

If you carry a spare coil pack, and have a failure, how would you know which one to replace? I've had three of my four replaced and wonder if I should change the last one as a precaution. 1.6 fsi with 80k miles . . .
