sadly centralpanels will no longer be selling the drivers side regluators. Do you think the Ebay one I posted a link to is any good?

Brilliant, thank you

Hi, Wondering if anyone has any luck with Ebay front drivers window regulators? I've had the third one go in about 2 years and a little fed up with it as they seem to go just as I'm leaving the house lol. I don't use the windows that much (mostly aircon) and this one has lasted 6 month. I did a search on here and found this one which claims to be heavy duty https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160995217459?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_7559wt_1398 Cheers Vijay

Octavia 1.9TDI Sump Replacement
Vijay2018 replied to crazytony's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
No idea if it's silicone or how long it takes to dry. I can't think why you wouldn't want to get it on and bolted up once you have the sealant applied anyway. I tool longer than 5 minutes to get it on and bolts tightened and it's fine -
Octavia 1.9TDI Sump Replacement
Vijay2018 replied to crazytony's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I had to take mine off 2 weeks ago and when putting it back, I used Wynns black gasket maker - nice stuff to use. Haynes manual said inside of the bolts which made sense to me or surely the oil would leak out of the bolt holes? Torque settings in the Hyanes manual were 45nm for the 3 large bolts and 15nm for all the smaller bolts -
Have you looked on Youtube, that's how I did mine

Octavia 1.9 ASV using engine oil
Vijay2018 replied to Vijay2018's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Hi, Has anyone got any pointers/thoughts on what I can check for my crazy oil consumption? It got dramatically worse this week, using 330ml (lucozade bottle) per 60 miles :O I cannot see any leaks under the car and I would imagine it would be a blue plume in my rear screen if it was being burnt. I'm going to jetwash the engine this weekend if I get the chance and keep an eye on and under the engine bay. I may also try this stuff as I need to find out where the oil is going https://www.ringautomotive.com/en/product/RLD4 Is there anywhere else it could go apart from a exterior leak or being burnt out of the exhaust? Cheers Vijay -
I know it can be adjusted with the VCDS software as my mate did mine
-
lol it's a good point though
-
What's that about?
-
what happens, no more cold air or compressor stops? Mine was the condenser
-
Glad to say you're advice has been right, starter hasn't had a hiccup since removing and cleaning all contacts
-
Be brilliant if you're right I did indeed clean up the battery terminals, main feed wire to the starter clamps and all connectors on the starter motor. Would be useful to have the information anyway if anyone can help, just in case it does go.
