  1. Smart link is activated, this was activated when I had the older screen (only just purchased the new screen) and not remapped anything. Thanks for the reply
  2. Hi, As the title states I’ve upgraded my screen to a 8” glass screen much better definition and bigger visual estate. Only issue I’ve had is the “app” button does nothing…… Is there anything that can be done ? Is it a firmware issue or a mib2 issue any help would be massively appreciated
  3. No mines standard but know folk that have had good results with them
  4. exactly this and I’ll try your method on the other side thank you 🤝
  5. Yes can be found on eBay it’s the little bit at back that’s stops the drone
  6. I’ve recently fitted Michelin sport 5 to my mk3 and the difference from the fulda tire is night and day
  7. Go for a res delete anti drone set up
  8. I’ve recently due to a snapped front spring changed the rears, and set about changing the fronts (driver side first) took my time and soaked all relevant nuts etc and all went well with the removal……. Upon refitting strut was fastened with the x3 13mm top mounts screws tight but not torqued, thanks to the splitting tool bottom of strut fixed into hub….. But for the life of me the splined cv won’t go into the hub, the top drop link looks about 1.5-2 inch short of the mounting and the driveshaft seems to touch bottom of strut. Any ideas ? Got soaked trying to sort 😭
  9. Hi been to have a look at a Skoda Octavia VRs (2016) 2.0tsi petrol I use my Carista to scan the car and it came up with the following are they an easy fix ? The garage is taking care of this, but wanted advice on the route cause of both codes pic attached (hopefully) I’m moving on from a Skoda Fabia VRs mk2 dsg
  10. Bit of an update as such………. Compression test showed uniformity across all cylinders, I supplied x4 ngk spark plugs, oil was changed along with filter to 5w-40 fully synthetic. I also replaced the air filter (Bosch) it’s early to tell if it’s made a difference as haven’t covered too many miles yet. Mechanic said to drive more enthusiastically as the engines prefer this ? Sorry it’s a bit of a late update, but only just had work carried out time I guess will tell Good call this something you’ve done yourself ?
  11. In theory slightly thicker oil should make some difference ? Some have reported so ? would you happen to know the compression values ? And I presume I am looking at cylinder 3 plug ? For fouling
  12. What’s my realistic action plan once oil changed to 5w-40 I’m doubtful it will be the magic cure ?
  13. Right lads apologies for delay in replying been stupidly busy at work and home…….. I’m still waiting on when I can take car to garage for above work ( due to my work commitments) and the wife’s who’s going to follow me across so I’m not sat for hours twiddling my thumbs. driving the car today I was in 7th not accelerating as on a gradual decline section of road, then I accelerated not harsh acceleration quite the opposite and a plume of blue smoke came out twice when I repeated the action💨 Does this point to the turbo more that the pistons ? Obviously I’m hoping it’s not the pistons for obvious financial reasons……
  14. I’ll go for the denso ones you recommend and I’ll purchase through Ophir as don’t want risk of snide! Didn’t realise regarding sc and turbo everyday a school day. Thanks for all info I’ll report back when I get a date to take car in, once again thanks for input and taking time to reply very much appreciated 👏🏻🤝
