SWMBO has snapped off the fuel flap. As a new 1 is £85-£115!!!! Think I may try to repair. Reviewed web, YouTube etc but just can’t see how to remove the flap/filter neck housing. There is, on her 2019 SEL at least, no T20 screw, or any other fixings, the protrusion that may have hidden a screw is simply a hole behind it. Any real world ideas please?

Once I saw how deep the lipping was I didn’t bother getting my micrometer out to measure, I had the parts, paid for and available so just fitted them, wife has a commute of 70 miles a day now so keep on top of everything especially safety related

2019 75 bhp SEL. 34k from new as 1 owner. Haseldeyns Doncaster did a brake clean adjust in 2021 during a service and they were super sharp, and have remained so ever since. Des winks Scarborough mentioned front discs and pads should be changed soon (June 2023) for £335. I bought Brembo discs and pads from euro car parts for <£70 and fitted them yesterday. Being only 4 years old everything came apart easily and good old fashioned mechanicals made it a doddle. Whilst the original discs had severe lipping the pads were only 35-40% worn. V,pleased I've saved £265.

2019 SEL wanting a ‘workshop’ /‘Haynes’ manual, … suggestions gleefully accepted

Eldest had read about extending cam belt replacement so I emailed SUK and received their response today I took some time to look into your enquiry and I can confirm the following information below with you regarding your concerns for your Cam belt. Cambelts are considered as a ‘wear-and tear’ component and not covered by warranty outside of the three year/60,000 mile warranty. For this reason there is no “Lifetime Guarantee.” However, the ever improving reliability and extended change intervals of Cambelts means that Škoda is removing the recommendation to replace the Cambelt every five years. This will be replaced by time/distance intervals (where applicable).As of 1 July, the cambelt guidance has been updated to remove the five-year interval on all cars across the Volkswagen Group. The cambelt replacement will now be based on mileage as per maintenance schedules. We would always recommend that our customer’s visit any one of our Škoda Approved Retailers who have trained technicians that are regularly updated on any changes that apply to vehicles manufactured within the Volkswagen Group. I hope that the above information proves useful. Should you require any assistance further, please do not hesitate to reach out to us on the details below.

2019 5 door SEL Greentech; just had annual service at 4 years and 30,000 miles. Dealer wanted £120 o swap 3 spark plugs which I declined and did it myself for £21. They gleefully told me next year is a cambelt change but eldest son says Skoda have revised their requirements to an “inspect and replace if necessary” ,, whilst I’m fully au fait with the need, potential consequence of a failure can anyone confirm and point me to the link, of this believed change please

So SWMBO 2019 SEL 5 door went into our nearest main dealer as we recently moved. Just on 4 Years from new, owned from new 29k. service under a service plan plus mot . Spark plugs need changing at 4 years/40k @ £120 ((for 3 plugs remember)). Health check video confirmed passed mot, oiltight underneath but front disks and pads 70% worn so £355 please. Also the plugs at £120, the washer bottle is alkegedly leaking from a previous repair (what repair, when who???) That’s £52 please and offside rear tyre has some cracks so £78 please £600 all in plus mot. Priced up parts at @<£200 and can’t justify them doing the work.

So I’ve fitted a camera to SWMBO’s car and I’ve hit a snag- wired to ignition activated fuse under the steering wheel fuse box and to the reversing light. Works fine with the ignition on but within a few seconds of starting the car the view distorts and then disappears. I’m assuming there’s interference caused by the canbus wiring? Any ideas or suggestions readily accepted

Well after delays I finally changed the headlamp bulbs in our 2019 sel green tech . Both dip and main beam are H7’s ie double prong single filament, the coverage charts i found were all wrong at least for our 2019 car. Using osram night breakers as main beam and initially tried led with a projector lense for dip but absolutely useless to the extent of being dangerous as you can’t tell you have anything more than drl’s On. So getting some more night breakers and forgetting all about leds for this car at least.

Thanks for the real world experience update.. off to europarts

Assumedthe wiring plug would be a 3 socket type that pushed onto the bulb as in my other cars. Essentially I ended up yanking the bulb andholder out. With dipped headlamps on, the single filament bulb was illuminated. Using my phones camera i could see the bulb inc holder fits into a recess in the housing and a slight twist locksinto place. Just checked what I'd assumed was the main beam headlamp and it too was a 2 "prong" ie terminal bulb.

Cheers I'll lookat them. Thanks for the steer

Ok, want to fit better bulbs to my 2019 sel greentech 5 door. Figured out the main and dipped beam are separate 2 prong bulbs which twist out of the housing and pull out of the wiring/base.the thing is which ones are suggested please as upgrades/replacements ?

Is this possible? Link to recommendation ?

Clearance on the bulb is fine, it’s simply the red clip that holds the plug into the lamp housing
