@Christophy Great information for the forums thank you. Any chance you have the PDF for the 7 Speed DSG 0AM (2014 Fabia vrs) ?

Next maint milestone I think will be 7 speed dsg cutch pack refresh (Dry) Anyone had this done ?

agree with @Breezy_Pete most likely the wheel cylinder is the issue

is it not just the brake pads moving in the carriers ?

Hello and welcome to the forums, plenty if information for you oh here 🙂

@Alasdair1 I'm already making the rear parcel shelf repair clips and pivots, but that's a good source of information thanks

I have access to a 3d printer and am interested in gathering useful STL format files for the Fabia MK2 vrs so I can experiment, anyone know of any ?

you did put the correct side callipers on ? if you put the d/s on the p/s the bleed screw is at the bottom and it will never bleed

2014 1.4 vrs

I have noticed with my car it charges circa 14.5v on idle, but on higher revs drops to 12.8 ? is this a function of "smart charging"

As part of my maintenance strategy for my 2021 Golf I have put in place a 4 yearly battery change (rapidly declined in battery performance after 4 years) the mk8 Golf has a lot of quiescent current (off state drain). As stated above Tayna batteries are reasonable cost and it's another form of insurance to minimise problems

Hi 🙂

My battery gave up the ghost after 5 years (golf R MK8) due to all the electrical demands on it with "modern cars"

Had a similar update on my 2021 golf last week, had to re designate primary user and re instate numerous vehicle settings, too about 2 hours to sort out ☹️

if you have access to an OBD eleven or VCDS scan tool it's a simple operation Reversing light I have no solution for this ?

+1 for Bosch aero twins

hello and welcome, Lots of Octavia knowledge on the forums

Hello and welcome, Plenty of knowledgeable members on these forums

As title, I have a sectional exhaust system (clamped sections) and a couple of the joints have slight leaks (not evident sound wise but sooty marks) What are members "go to" exhaust assembly pastes ? As ever any positive assistance welcomed

All done, renewed both rear brake pipes (solid and flexi) while doing the work, that's a full overhaul of suspension over the last 12 months so hopefully good for another few years 🤞

Thanks for the resolution feedback

Passenger side rear brake pipe snapped during loosening (to lower the subframe) awaiting delivery of pipe (includes flexi) will be finished Tuesday
