Thanks for the info lads, i have a skoda 16" space saver wheel coming on monday so i was trying to get a jack to go with it, but like one of you mentions I need a scissor type jack with a groove in it, i have took the foam thing and compressor and gunk can out i will try and sell them i think?

This kit is on Ebay the leaflet says octavia and superb T3 so will it fit a newer superb.

good luck alan, i will do the same with mine till i get a service in 4 months and i will ask skoda to check system.

hope its the latter, cars are just a great big piece of metal and remember health is wealth

Alen that last sentence has got me thinking, I think you might have stumbled across something, I always have the stop start switched off and its going to stay off, I really hate that function.

no prob, i just dont want to go out one morning and i get the old dead mans click, but what you guys mentioned about the 80% reserve capacity makes me a bit more confident

no mate that is my multimeter, the battery specialist had a proper all bells and whistles tester.

nausea and chest pain....geesus ring a doctor man..

nice one kenny, i will try the stop start tomorrow without AC.

I forgot to mention in start stop traffic today in 24 degree heat i switched the start stop off and low and behold it didnt stop the engine every time?

kenny the place i went to told me its working Oh ok wino, thats interesting mate.

i allways have the stop start switched off every time i get in because its a gimmick to me, and i hate it. I suppose the big test will be the winter but i have to get a oil service in about 4 months so i will ask skoda to test it then, but they will probably say the same as my local specialist.

i allways check the battery when i buy a new car, ive only had it a month, starts a few seconds after pressing the start button every time,

Is my battery slowly dying, i had it checked at my local battery specialist and he told me its fine, and it starts after been left for a few days, even though my multi meter says its a low voltage reading, it is a EFB exide battery.

yes thats the one mate, i to had to bend the cable around that black relay type box, I had the battery tested and even though its around 12.3-4 voltes he said it is normal, i am going to keep an eye on it.

I am after the same same thing for mine, Up to now i am still looking.

hi jb which page is applicable to me mate, there's hundreds of them.

can you swap the 17"stratos wheels to 19" sportline wheels without any problems?

thanks for the info but i dont think i will pe heating up and prizing my keys, risk and reward thing, take car mate.

i found some great videos on youtube of how you take the cover off to get at the battery, but there is none on taking the metal parts off, i found a tiny screw on one end but i dont have anything what will fit, and i have about 30 screwdrivers but none that type or size.

hi mate this is interesting, dont you damage the plastic when you prise it with a screwdriver.

scaffolds base plate mate ....simple light and strong

Matt page 143 of your handbook, look at your fuses overview picture, i put mine into number 48 it says its not used it switches on when engine is on and off when its not, but when i checked my battery a few days ago it was reading 12.3v which is not to good to be honest i might take it to my local battery specialist tomorrow to do a proper test on it, the car is only a year old the batteries in these are sh***t really mine is a EFB.

Let me know how you get on mate,I haven't really had a petrol car, i think i drove one on holiday once years ago.

Hi dan, They are noisy as f$$$ck mate.
