Strange osf wheel wobble and brakes jamming on
The discs and pads were actually really good although a bit pinkish after the heat buildup. After retracting the caliper im convinced it is the cause. Gonna ordee new caliper in the morning and see how it goes. Wont change disca and pads just yet as they look good.

Strange osf wheel wobble and brakes jamming on
I did just that. Greased the slider pins and pad lobes after wire brushing everything down. Caliper went back okayish was a bit stiff then pedal pumped it out 3 pumps and this time was really hard to wind back. It did seem to cure after the test drive. My head still cant get round the wobble. Lets see how it goes tomorrow

Strange osf wheel wobble and brakes jamming on
I think you might be right. Went out and took the wheel off and can't see anything out of place. It is intermittent and not constant though. Went for a drive after putting wheel back on and it was fine but just pulled onto driveway definitely felt binding again. Will order a caliper in the morning

Strange osf wheel wobble and brakes jamming on
Hi all I hit a couple of potholes a few days ago. Yesterday noticed as i approached a traffic light car crawled itself and i got a wobble. Thought damn i have a puncture. Checked it over and tyres were fine. Checked pressure this morning and all were bang on. Now all of a sudden was totally fine on the way to tescos and then got the wobble again and wobble remained at any speed. Pulled over checked wheel nuts they were fine but noticed burning smeel and heat from osf. Is this a simple seized caliper or does it sound like a wobbly bearing perhaps. Can't understand the wobble bit

drivers door window winder mechanism .............
Mmm. Yes me Neither and ive been a cabbie for 20 years. I only bought this superb 6 months ago so hoping its as good my older cars. I see suspension is nice and easy, brakes etc. Twindoor boot has issues but ive sussed that all out. I bought vagcom as well. Mines the 170 bhp which has crap mpg but only realised after buying it. Im scared of flywheel and clutch issues otherwise its a nice motor

I will be buying from fleebay. Seen one in there 35 odd quid. I will tackle this myself. Might as well add some sound deadening to the door whilst at it. Just wanna know in advance if superbs are riveted or bolts?

Drivers window
Severe frost and snow overnight, on the way to work hit the drivers window switch and nothing. I can hear it all move inside. Has it come off the rails or broken a pin. Anyone done one before?

Guide: Removing front door card Octavia Mk3 including changing tweeter capacitor for better sound
Hi May sound like a stupid question. I was gonna order 3.3 uf capacitors and solder them after removing old ones. Now you have confused me by saying in series with the old ones. Could you just simplify that down completely for me. Or even a hand drawn instruction. Hi May sound like a stupid question.

Twindoor bootlid needs slamming
Any ideas on how to adjust the bootlid. Mine needs a serious slam to get it to seat and soft close. More of a gap on the left above tail lights when not properly closed.

Columbus, wipers and heater blower
For some strange reason started car after month or so today and initially wipers worked, then noticed head unit not on tried switching on but it wouldn't then noticed heater blower not working either. The head unit doesn't even light up with lights on, so appears dead. Climatronic lights up and responds to fan speed up but no response from blower. And the wiper stalk isnt working either. Any udeas anyone. Parked it up a month ago totally fine
