Front Grill (lower) replacement
Hello, Really hoping someone can help me. I took my VRS through a mechanical car wash (don’t scold) and part of the front lower bumper grill came off. I only realised when I left and I’ve had a gaping hole in the front bumper for some time. Can someone please recommend where I can purchase a replacement? I’ve really struggled to find one online. Details: Mk2 2007 Skoda Octavia VRS Wagon/Estate Based in Sydney, Australia. see picture for reference. many thanks

Windscreen Washer Unit Replacement
Hoping these photos will help to explain my rambling above. Can anyone tell me what this connecting pipe is called, where I could get one (I’m based in Sydney) and if I can replace this myself? It looks like it could be connected and disconnected easy enough, the rest of the unit works fine as far as I know. Cheers

Windscreen Washer Unit Replacement
Hello, I was wondering why my windscreen washers were not getting any action even though I refilled with screen wash. Looked under the bonnet and saw that when I was filling there was leaking in the engine bay, turns out the plastic connecting pipe to the filling unit is completely done, I mean dust. The previous owner had disguised well with black duck tape which was keeping this connection together. Can the unit be replaced by a novice or is it better to go to a mechanic for it? Is it expensive to buy a new unit or do I need just a part? Any help is appreciated as always. Cheers

How to turn on A/C - Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 (Manual) 2007
Hello, New to the forum, bought myself an Octavia VRS Estate/Wagon a few months back. 2.0 litre manual in blue. Love it. Based in Sydney, so the temperatures are starting to ramp up coming into spring/summer. Cannot get my head around the air con system and how to operate it. Do not understand the ECON/ AUTO feature at all. There is no simple A/C button in my model. Can someone please tell me in the first instance how you would go turning on the A/C (I understand that it is not ECON function)? The A/C was serviced about two years ago according to the service history, I understand the compressor is ****e, but is there a way to test to see if the A/C works before actually asking for it to be refilled. Appreciate any help. Slainte, Niall
