  1. It doesn't.....I use TomTom having given up on Skoda's rubbish navigation system and I don't understand why people would continue to try. Just ditch it, buy a TomTom cheapie and get free map updates for life.
  2. Never heard of TomTom Sat Navs? 🙄
  3. That's why I still use TomTom.....😄
  4. My BMW 740 Sport has "hydraulic" engine mounts that eventually lose the fluid which is actually more like a gel. The engine then drops onto the cross-member with consequent 'orrible vibration. Should be an easy swap, unlike the BMW which are a b*gg*r to get at because of the exhausts....
  5. I wonder whether the suspension was allowed to settle with the car's full weight on the wheels before all the bolts were tightened?
  6. Thanks to all for the help. 😀
  7. Does the SD card fit in the extra slot in the glovebox unit? I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to electronickery, give me an engine to work on any day! Thanks, that looks the very dab.
  8. Thanks Dave, that's what I was afraid might be the answer. The problem I have is that my new DELL laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player built in so unless I can find an inexpensive CD player to plug in, I am stuck with what I have.
  9. Bump to this question.
  10. Thanks, I've tried pushing the connectors firmly together in the mountings on the bulkhead firewall, I'll see how that goes.
  11. Thanks Warrior193, that's exactly what the code reader says; can you point me in the right direction to check the connection? It's a bit of a bird's nest under the plastic cover and there is a bit of damage to the metallised fabric heat shield that's now held in place by tie-wraps because the pop fasteners have torn out of the fabric..... **No, only the faulty one was changed (£154 +VAT) so they didn't bother with the second one which appeared at the time to be OK, because of the price. The question still remains - is there an easy way to see if the ECU has been modified to allow extra "poke"? **Edit to add: Just checked the service invoices and the first EGT sensor was changed in July last year.
  12. Car is 2016 Octy vRS diesel CUNA code engine, 150,000 miles. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to find out if the ECU has been chipped? Bought the car as the fourth owner and it came with 2cm wide wheel spacers all round which indicates that at least one of the past owners "pressed on" somewhat. In my ownership it's had the spacers removed (!!!), new DPF, new Bosch pressure & EGT sensors and repairs to a previously bodged turbo change; all done by a specialist VAG workshop I have been with for over 30 years with various Audi, Skoda and SEAT cars. Since the DPF and EGT sensor change, it persistently throws error code P2084 usually after a bit of gentle acceleration, which the workshop says is nothing to worry about. There is no loss of performance and it clears with a basic code reader. The workshop believe it to have been chipped at some stage which is why it keeps throwing the code; is this feasible and is there any easy way to check?
  13. On my Mk 2, this used to happen if I didn't really "whack" the seat backrest home. Try releasing it again and whack it hard against the stop when you put it back.....
  14. Plus 1 for low oil. That sounds like a "dry clunk" to my ears. Could also be dry CV joints.
  15. Car is 2016 Octavia 3 diesel vRS with the CUNA engine. My aircon seems to be on its last legs and the guy who re-gassed it last week recommended a new compressor and condenser, the latter being a bit "crusty" in his words. I think i've found the correct part number for the compressor - 5Q0 820 803 - but there seem to be about a dozen different part numbers for the condenser. Can some kind person confirm I'm correct with the compressor PN and let me know the correct condenser PN please? TIA.
