Schoolboy error. Forgot to remove wheel chocks I'd set on the other wheel. 😂

I removed a rear wheel to check out the rotors and pads although I didn't remove anything else just a visual inspection. So I put wheel back on and removed jacks etc and start car and I attempt to reverse and I get a very heavy resistance / sticking from wheel. I just apply very little pedal to accelerator I didn't even move car but it's obvious there is some serious resistance. I don't want to force it incase something breaks up. What is likely happening, can you over tighten the wheel nuts or does the security nut need to be in a specific hole. Basically I've not put the wheel back on correctly I think? Any ideas?

Easy on these cars other cars you need a special socket but really just unscrew and detach at cable end if you need to remove the whole system. They often sit under the manifold heat shield hence the special socket however on my car it's on the side of the cylinder head or block.

Could be oxygen sensor is needing cleaned or replaced, you can soak them in petrol for a few hours and see it it helps.

Cheapest I could find which is all my budget allows but are they better than what's in, according to service manual they were last changed about 5 years ago. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Skoda-Octavia-1Z3-1-6-FSi-Genuine-Denso-Twin-Tip-TT-Spark-Plugs/361601114590?fits=Car+Make%3ASkoda|Model%3AOctavia+II|Cars+Type%3A1.6+FSI|Plat_Gen%3A1Z3|Cars+Year%3A2008|BodyStyle%3AHatchback|Variant%3A1Z3+[2004-2013]+Hatchback|Engine%3A1598ccm+115HP+85KW+(Petrol)&hash=item54311b21de:g:9D8AAOSw44BYQb2F

I can use a virtual machine or a second partition.

It's the pin you need if you program a key, usually a 4 digit PIN.

Mainly read errors but was surprised it programmed keys and I didn't even know you could retrieve the ECU pin.

It dies everything apparently, also programs keys and reads the security pin . What do you think? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAG-K-CAN-Commander-Full-1-4-USB-obd2-Diagnostic-Tool-COM-for-VW-Audi-Skoda-Seat/184345623231?hash=item2aebdafabf:g:OXAAAOSwFhZdynBK

What would you use as an undercoat as I assume waxoyl would be the final coat, and if the rust is removed do you really need a rust inhibitor?

Thanks. My plan is to clean and remove rust. If I use a wire brush drill attachment to get rid of the rust whats my next step. I have a can of waxoyl underseal do I need to do anything before I put this on, an undercoat or just wash the surface again? Can I derust and paint anything, like the tracking arms, struts etc?

Who's have thought a liner would be one of the toughest most annoying parts to remove.

It looks like these T25 screws are so rusted the socket bit won't work, do you have any ideas how to take them off without ruining the liner and if you can get them off where to get a new set?

Yep very corroded, I could hardly get that socket in then trouble getting it out.

Can I regas it myself?

Ah I found it in a plastic bag that was hanging on a hook in the boot. Thanks.

So I just turn to blue, press the a/c button and turn the fan on and that's it? It was a cheap second hand car so it's possible it's not even working even though the red LED comes on when you press the a/c but it doesn't feel cooler.

This seems too warm too me, I'd like it down to 13 or 14, on a sunny day with the sun burning down through the windows, 18 degrees doesn't help much. I'm new to a/c so I'm assuming I have this right.

Octiva Ambiente 1.6 FSI. I have a different nut on one of the wheel nuts. I assume I need a special tool to remove this, there doesn't seem to be one in the boot. Also I find this tool in the boot, is that a towbar?

Octavia Ambiente. Does anyone know if you can add turbo to this model and how much it will cost if getting second hand partts, so budget style?
