Unfortunately not, I’m somewhat keeping an eye on vw’s at a local breakers yard near me. Only problem is the pictures aren’t that clear inside so can’t tell

Ah good shout on insurance, I’ll stick with 235 but it’s between Goodyear asymmetric 5’s and PS4 hmm. It’s annoying as I need all 4 so hardly cheap decision to make

Thanks for all the replies. just to clarify I’ve got the 19” Sirius alloys standard is 235/40/19 can I put on 245/40/19” with zero problems? The price for 235 compared to 245 is crazy, more tyre with 245 yet about £45 cheaper per tyre

I’ve got the choice of either in UK One more question regarding both, does it come with good rim protection? The P7’s have saved me a few times with roads which have horrible kerbs. Google searches the PS4/S is coming up as inconclusive hmm

From my memory there’s PS4 and PS4S. Is there a particular one you’d recommend

My P7’s starting to have more cracks on the tread now. As I need all 4 at once I’m expecting a big bill so I really want excellent replacements. I don’t want a jack of all trades master at none all season tyres as sometime next year I’ll be buying a winter set. I’m not too fussed if I go back to P7’s as they’ve done many miles but I have noticed I’m getting wheel spin in 3rd when it rains a bit but I do only have 3mm left and tyres almost 6 years old. For some reason I prefer the better known brands. Any recommendations?

Brembo discs and genuine pads on, now I have good braking all round I’ve noticed the car doesn’t pitch forward and feels so much more stable. Yesterday when I picked it up I did have some black marking, but I literally drove 3 miles home, which I was somewhat concerned at So today I went on a longer random jolly, so I put it in eco (DSG) and ACC, seem pretty perfect now, so no idea what the black stuff was From seeing other brembo discs the coating should last many years instead of rusting up on the hub

1st one looks good, the others look terrible imo.

Can’t see why there would be a button to operate a manual boot like you have, sounds like a printing mistake

Car at the dealers having rear disc and pads changed, so I asked for a longish test drive in an enyaq which I’ve got at home now. Biggest complaint is this stupid design flaw. The dash is far too low so my knee keeps hitting it. If it was a little bit higher it would be great as I won’t be attacked and I can open my legs more. I tried putting my feet just to the left of the brake pedal which was more comfortable but then left foot is almost under the brake pedal

Tbh I use luke warm water and is fine in seconds

I would take them to a small claims court for everything you’ve paid for so far plus any additional work. Keep all your receipts for the case, I very much doubt they’ll turn up. Look forward to seeing your case on Can’t Pay We’ll Take It Away

So I’ve gone for Brembo discs (08.C501.11 made in Italy) and genuine pads. The more I read about pads from other manufacturers the more I got put off from various posts here and elsewhere. I would have gone ATE rear pads but ECP don’t sell them (they sell fronts) for some reason nor does many other places where I can pick up locally. My local dealer will be fitting my supplied discs and genuine pads on Thursday as I really needed it done this end of the year. Whilst they’re fitting them I’m doing a long test drive in an enyaq. Last time I done one of these longer test drives I went home and picked the dog up for a spin in a Karoq which he and I gave a “Nul Points”, so I’m intrigued on his thoughts on the enyaq.

Nothing worse than someone with a problem then never getting back with an update, so kudos to you 🍻

I’ll check that out, only problem I have is the when playing music via Bluetooth. Majority of the time it works fine, but sometimes when the song changes it still displays the same song playing, other times it gets in a right hissy fit and only plays 1 song on repeat. I’ve had it a few times where I have to completely reconnect my phone as well So I was thinking that’s got to be some kind of bug. I was looking at Skoda servicing and doesn’t specifically mention “software updates” like other manufacturers do during servicing.

What’s the official method of upgrading software? I have Columbus, is this something the dealer should do during a service?

Email notification is in English but your message here isn’t, weird. Never heard of them, I’m very much a person who believes in buy cheap pay twice. So personally I wouldn’t touch them as changing the bulbs involves taking the wheel arch liner off and not something I’d want to often, so if those very cheap bulbs end up being rubbish you’ll have to buy other ones and repeat the process. I’d stick with Osram or Philips, but as you’ll see the prices are high compared to those cheap ones. Have a look at this guys channel as he tests bulbs in his octavia. Here’s a video of arguably the best two xenons His reviews seem very informative even though it’s in German and subs don’t work, but later in the video he has side by side videos

Just a heads up for people who want genuine wheels, always buy the accessory wheel rather than the “normal” one example Skoda stratos 3V0 601 025 C (8Z8) is rocking £438.07 each But if you look at the accessory list Skoda Stratos 3V0 071 495 C (8Z8) is a £191.00 each.

Just found this One of the comments he says they’re fine in the rain, but that’s hardly torrential rain, so I’m not sure if his comment is based on that result. might be worth commenting on that video to see if he can answer your question If they’re not legal that’s the risk you’ll have to take should anything happen and insurance tries to wriggle their way out of paying

I’m not sure on the legalities in Spain but UK it is illegal. Why do you want to change to LED? If it’s purely for light colour then see if Osram Cool Blue Boost is legal in Spain, if it’s not legal then Osram Cool Blue Intense most likely will be. As lights are to see where you’re going you really want lower Kelvin rating but then I admit it looks dated these days.

Surely if you drive the 280 it should be SPG (smiles per gallon) measured?

Which ones did you go for out of interest?

Not bad at all

Is it possible you can take a picture of the rear disc hub? As these are coated I’m hoping it still looks new. Friend of mine has these on his car which is a totally different male and still fine

It very much depends on your model as to which brakes you need. I might be wrong but on the 220/280hp the rears are vented and 310mm , if yours is not vented then it should be 300mm. I’m buying these personally very soon, but getting my local dealer to install them for £150, expensive I know but independent was around £5 cheaper https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/brembo-brake-disc-10444224A https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/brembo-brake-pad-10144208A
