Jemm

Hi , Could someone confirm whether this is true or not as I have had my car since May '23 and found out the hard way thru several breakins that the alarm is non existent in my vehicle. Was told recently by a car guy that that model has no alarm .Very confusing as I had it somewhere else for a service in another town last yesr and I asked the guy doing the service about the alarm and he said to me that it works fine .Mind you I have never heard it so cannot verify the validity of it. But, just asking.. Jemm.

I don't know where you are from but there are some great products on the market that could be helpful for you .One that I use a lot is Eucalyptus oil. I have never had to deal with vomit but if there is a totally unpleasant odor I would spray it with Eucalyptus spray or alternatively put some in a spray bottle with some ethanol and spray it on area that has the smell. You could also ask a dry cleaner what you could use ? Because I am sure they deal with lots of smells.

Under the passenger seat I found a piece of black plastic that belongs somewhere. But the question, is where? I would think it belongs maybe on the seat. It's number is : 5 WA 971 813 >PP-PE< RAY 5

I had to laugh at that . Apart from the occasional sarcastic remark I find most ppl on here to be very helpful. I'm not even going to ask if my car has heated seats bc I cannot even get heat in the front vents. They just blow out cold cold air. To even suggest that my seats might get warm too, tho a nice thought....we won't go there today.No .

When I first got this car a year ago, the heater in the front under the screen was lovely. And one day it just stopped working and only blew out cold air. The only place I have heat is the top RH vent above the steering wheel and next to the door. Sometimes when I am parked and it is cold I just lean against the door and let the warm air blow over my face. Beautiful ! Just a codis to all this....the cold air that is not plugged .... does that come from outside ? I ask because my car is never open for long yet I have been bitten by a small something that has scuttled under the seat . Considering the car was fully detailed before I got it back in late March there should be nothing alive in my car except me. Am going to spray my car today and close it up for an hour or so. If I close that place the seatbelt is bolted to will it do anything within the car itself ? Or does it have to be left open ?

Is this the one that slides forward? No I pulled everything out of it and no lever. It is big enough for a normal can or 2 Red Bulls - (by observation). Thanku . Will check out the glove box. And where do I find the transmission tunnel ? Just asking.!

I hesitate to ask anything more but am hoping someone can shed some light on it (?). I've only noticed it just the past few weeks . .because I am in the drivers seat more lately I noticed frigid air coming in along the side of the seat. Not on the other side but it comes out of the slit where the seat belt is. As I mentioned in another post I only have heat coming from the top RH vent now but the coldness of this air would have to be aircon related. I now cover it .I have this glorious heat coming along the door and then I have this really really cold air coming up virtually from the floor. I know it is not a fuse but one of you tech guys could probably suggest something.Then I can ring Skoda 2 hours away and book it in. ... At the present time it is our coldest winter in 5 yrs. Thnx Jemm.

Replying to Dave From Sydney: I will try what you have suggested to see if it makes any difference. Thank you for your answer.

I no longer ask the skoda dealer i go to about things that don't lock. So the boot closes and clicks but someone has discovered that if you stand behind it will open. If someone knows a way to prevent this I would be most pleased, thanku !

Do other cars have all these problems ?

Yes well I have this problem too. Water pump has been checked and is fine. Coolant levels are topped up and ok but the only heat I can get is the drivers side vent. This winter has been very cold with minus degree night temperatures and it is most uncomfortable with cold air blowing on you. Did you find a solution? This is a Skoda after all so I thought all things can be sorted out on a screen but in this case perhaps not ? I just put more layers on .

I hadn't driven anywhere. I was sitting in the yard waiting for the gauge to rise. Perhaps 20 minutes. I was told by the dealership that is 2 hours away to wait until the gauge hit 90 before turning the heater onto HI, so in the meantime I am sitting in a cold car, so I just drove it anyway and as I drove i had warm and eventually hot air coming out of the top RH vent, the only vent that has warm air ...so I shall be grateful for small mercies.

On the left hand side there I s a temp gauge that goes from 50 to 90. It is sitting on 80.

Ok I have been broken into so often in the past few months that I decided to leave a key in a safe place in the car as an emergency as my house is now obviously not safe. Hence the Faraday bag. Set 2 was flat again so as I was going to pick up groceries that night I took it with me in order to get another set of new batteries on the way home at the service station. Supermarket is out of those type of batteries. Set 3 is kept quite some distance from car and not kept near other keys or electrical charges. It too was flat when I went to lock the car so I locked it with the key and tested it to make sure it was locked. Yes. All 3 keys were sent with car and are the original ones.I have been quoted $2000 to rekey them.
