I'm sorry I can't be as intelligent as you.

I loved mine until it was written off (not my fault) 😭, and I also loved this forum, very pleasant and knowledgeable people, I am on another forum as I did not buy another Skoda, what a bunch miserable sods, I've posted questions on there but nobody replies, a lot of people have read them and only one single reply, and didn't answer my counter reply, there has been questions on there for weeks never answered.

Try pulling fuse 35 5Amp that is for the alarm.

Car going next week, insurance offered me just over £3,000 for the car I thought that was a reasonable price, just for curiosity i went on webuyanycar and that came back with a valuation of £1,425, and I've looked on autotarader and one's with similar milage sell for between £1,500 & £2,000 ish, plus it's done more damage than first thought it's pushed the front bumper forward and ripped it off the mounts, didn't notice that until yesterday when I was taking accessories off I had fitted. Getting another car next week but sadly won't be a Skoda, going for an automatic, I've had the Skoda for 10 years covered 85,000 miles and enjoyed looking after it. So as they say a new chapter awaits.

My loved Skoda was ran into yesterday, I wasn't in it it was parked up on the road, a van ran into the back of another car that was pushed into mine, it wasn't nice coming back to the car and see all the mess, at least I got all the details off the other drivers, in the hands of the insurers now, she will be a write off as it has pushed the back wing in, don't know what will happen next or if I will get another Skoda, I gave it a full service last weekend as well, so this may be my last post.

Does anyone know what the symbol in the middle of the display between the clocks mean?. I think it started off with the number 12 and it's gradually counting down, I think it must be something to do with servicing, it comes on when first turning the ignition on, then after a few secs goes off. Hoping it's not a countdown to destruction lol!.

When I had it done the car was 5 years old with just over nine thousand miles, now the car has eighty five thousand miles with still the original clutch.

Mine was remapped when I had the egr and dpf delete I was told to 150 hp, did make a big difference that was 10 years ago I have not had any problems, apart from when the egr was deleted they closed the egr electronically and did not fit a blanking plate at the throttle body, after about 5 years the egr opened up and caused all sorts of problems.

This is what i found. Bleeding sequence 1 -Front left brake caliper 2 -Front right brake caliper 3 -Rear left brake caliper 4 -Rear right brake caliper As above if you let the fluid levels drop too low then you need VCDS/Diagnostics to put the ABS into "service" mode to properly bleed the air out.

Thank you everyone for your very interesting input, certainly something to consider.

Just called my local VAG repair shop about having my brake fluid changed, I also asked if they did the clutch as well they said no, as they have had problems in the past when changing the fluid for the clutch, such as slave cylinders needing changing after they have done it. What are your thoughts on this, is it a problem and does the fluid really need changing for the clutch?. Thanks.

It could still be a bulb that is faulty, it's best to scan it with a OBD reader that will tell you where the problem is rather than just changing things blindly.

There is no need to run wires over the top of the dash, if you pull up the top vent in the middle of the dash you can put the gps antenna under there with some double sided tape, it will still pick up satellites with no problem that's where I fitted mine.

I notice that the picture you are showing is a 4 stud wheel bearing, as your car is a 1.6 it should be a 3 stud bearing, my car is a 1.6 and that is a 3 stud, I fitted a Febi on not had any problems.

You need to check the wiring that goes from the car body to the door in that rubber hose it's most likely a broken wire common - ish well documented on here, check that first.
