  4. This is the spare for Kamiq 18” Crater wheels. Goodyear 195/60R16 89H 10/2022.
  5. PS, the white bits of tape are for me, because I am old, as makes it easier to see/ locate bits when pulling part / back together. rgds distrnc
  6. Hi AlexUK51, Kamiq MY21 Once the door is LEVEL to the floor, slight WIGGLE pulling out pressure on the LEFT and RIGHT sides to release the 2 x hinge catches. [The FEMALE hinge part is an 'open C' shape Male /Female. ] ( see pic ) When refitting the fuse door, ENSURE the door is LEVEL and Wiggle in LEFT and RIGHT pressure to the sides, as you push back in. FYI: There is this ANOTHER fuse board under the bonnet. ( Picture from Skoda Kamiq handbook ) rgds distrnc

  8. Hi. all, I have this solved ... 6 April 2022 There was a HIDDEN clip behind the cover, an arrow ( in plain sight ) showed the resolve. Kamiq My21 NW4 Mirror Caps remove April 2022 ( Probably the same for the Scala ) READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU COMMENCE WORK. The photo Item Numbers refer to the Text Line number. Check that have received the Mirror Cap to suit your Model " without LANE ASSIST or with LANE ASSIST as the LANE ASSIST cap has a rectangle slot cut for the LANE ASSIST light. Time: 15minutes each side Tools: Large plastic 90' trim tool to release / snap the mirror off its retainer. 150mm L 60mm W Long nose pliers to remove wires off the driver side mirror Small blade (2mm wide )screwdriver to depress the driver side mirror plug Thin blade long (200mm) screwdriver to LIFT the lower central cap retainer clip. Small trim tool to depress DOWN the TWO Upper cap retainer clips. Time: 10 mins each side. 1.Open front car windows. 2.Turn Mirror IN so it is WIDE at the outer edge, using large 90' trim tool, behind the outer edge, pop the Mirror off. 3.Remove the Mirror cables/ plug, (drivers and passenger sides are slightly different) put Mirror on the dashboard. 4. Re-adjust the Mirror control, so the Mirror retainer base is back to centre. ( this makes it easier to refit the Mirror and to into the Anti Vibration slot, see photo ref .12.) 5.Using the Small Trim tool, ( or a screwdriver blade ) pressing DOWN on the TWO upper Mirror cap clips,( which are the same colour as the existing Mirror cap) and at the SAME time pulling the Mirror cap towards the front of the car to help release the clips. BUT WAIT .. there is ONE more clip to release the Mirror Cap .. see 6. 6.Look inside the housing, towards the outer edge, there is an outline of an ARROW pointing to a slot in the housing., it is JUST below the OUTER clip in 5. The slot gives access to the LOWER Central retainer clip. 7. With the help of a flashlight, Insert long thin blade screwdriver into this hole, at an angle, to LIFT the small clip up, and pull the cap off. BUT WAIT ! Do you have LANE ASSIST, as there are cables attached to the LANE ASSIST Light see 8. . .. otherwise step 11. 8. If you have the LANE ASSIST lndicator in your Mirror cap, Remove the wiring plug by lifting the SMALL flat clip on the Upper side of he plug, lifting to release the plug from its retainer. 9. To remove the LANE ASSIST light, compress the centre mounted clip along one side, pulling the light outwards a little, then with minor twisting, releasing the two retainer BUMPS on the opposite side. 10. Insert / snap in the LANE ASSIST light into the NEW Mirror cap, and plug in. 11. To fit the Mirror Cap it is basically , line it up at the LANE ASSIST folded over edge end FIRST , then ensuring the CENTRE LOWER FINGER NAIL LOOKING CLIP is inserted under the Mirror body plastic lip, then the Mirror cap just SNAPS into place. 12. Reattach the Mirror wires / plug, Refit the Mirror onto its circular mount, by pressing/snapping it on in the centre of the Mirror AND CHECKING that the Anti Vibration ' banana ' shape piece is inserted back into his orifice. rgds distrnc

    Hi Dman, 30Dec2021 These mudflaps are easy to fit, 5mins each corner, no need to remove the wheel. 1 x Torx 25 bit , (and i THINK it's a .. ) 1x 5mm drill bit. The instructions, metal clips, screws + Plastic clips come with the kit. Basically remove screws fit mud flap refit screws The front does require 1 hole ( each side ) drilled in the plastic inner wheel sleeve, just turn the steering wheel to make room for drill. At the Front, there is also underside CLIP to be fitted, remove screw ( BLUE ARROW ) pull the plastic to one side, slide in clip & screw in ( RED ARROW ) and , refit original screw ( BLUE ARROW ) . See photo DON'T tighten any screw until you have positioned the mudflap hard against the car, then tighten. [ Sorry to duplicate this post, as I CANNOT find how to delete/amend ) ] [ and amended photos to JPEG ] rgds D
