Loose cambelt
UPDATE So after giving this car to a so called mechanic last September I have finally got the car back but he can't get it running for some reason? I suspect he has knocked the timing out after fitting another Cam wheel (cog) which was the cause of the problem in the first place So new cambelt fitted an new cam cog Is anyone local who can set this up properly for me at all? I'm in Birmingham B27.. Car is now stuck on drive cranks over but won't start I have all the tools but have never changed a cambelt or have the locking tool for bottom cog I would like to keep the car it's not the prettiest tbh but it still has plenty of life in yet Also I need a fan belt tensioner we got the car recovered back minus the tensioner... Car is 2007 Octavia VRS tdi

Bleed valve on 1.6tdi
So after a few months now and several visits to dealer My car is now sorted it seems so I thought I would share with you all what they changed and how it's now given me back hot air heating equally on both driver and passenger side. Heater matrix flushed twice with new coolant (better but still luke warm on drivers side) New expansion tank (silicone bag split in old one causing heater matrix blockage) New wager pump as apparently switch was faulty? Had car back and after 1 week drivers side heater went cold 🙄 (really noticeable on cold mornings) Went back and now had a new EGR cooler valve and hooray this seems to have cured the problem 👏🏻 after doing 400miles this weekend the heaters both passenger and drivers side are blowing equal amounts of hot air So hopefully this lasts an now all seems ok What a absolute nightmare trying to get this sorted but tbf the dealer have been great an replaced it all under warranty and given me a courtesy car each time my car wenr back in for repair / diagnosis Only one thing ive noticed my coolant has now gone brown and not the nice orange colour it should be after 3 flushes and having the EGR cooler valave fitted (it was before having the EGR cooler fitted though )

I honestly couldn't tell you...im letting the garage sort it out..it will have to go back to them... I could do with VCDS to see if the motor flaps are all working correctly.. if anyone knows where to get it from these days..mine is about 15yrs old an doesn't work Not sure if the garage would plug it into anything like VCDS to do a in depth real time scan

Just a quick update The car has been back to dealer And Had new matrix Coolant flush Coolant motor (whatever that is) New header tank Got the car back... And guess what The heater is absolutely terrible now (blows cold)I would say even worse.. No warm air at all out of the air vents even after doing over a hour or so journey with heaters on full an full heat...even the same turned down to half and under Very annoying Not losing coolant. No warning lights on dash Car is driving perfect just no heating

Octavia 2015 stereo upgrade
Good morning and happy Christmas to you all.. so after deciding to upgrade my stereo I got one from our friends at Ali express and just fitted it nice bit of kit although I can’t seem to get Apple play working through the link app or DAB to connect.. any ideas? all wired in ok pretty straight forward although the main look doesn’t give you much room to play with coming over from glove box side … and stupidly I disconnected the switch for passenger Airbag… and Yep I have the airbag light on dash now 🤨 my scanner won’t get into it screen quality is fantastic
