  1. Go to a scrappy get 4 normal bolts from any VW group car, remove all the locking bolts and replace with normal, keep locking bolts in boot, SWMBO showed me her removal tool, it was a plastic bolt ???
  2. Open your fuel flap and you can see all the sizes that will fit
  3. Is there a way to update Bluetooth, I have just bought a brand new phone a Armor x5, (from aliexpress), and its come with Android 10 , phone rang yesterday while driving could not answer it, even though the phone signal was showing full, yet with my galaxy s8 it answers every time, I had this problem using HTC phones when I 1st got the car , found out the best is android 9 or above for the phones to work, I wonder if its just the unit in the glove box that's causing the problem, or the actual head unit, , don't know what part the Bluetooth actually is in .
  4. Who would be the best for out of dealer warranty cover ??
  5. Would this be an MOT fail if it wasn't sorted?? and the error was showing
  6. Thank you for this, where can the part be bought from, the dealers or other outlets
  7. What is the part number for this replacement switch, for the fix
  8. If you get your MOT at a normal testing station they could fail for the warning light
  9. £144 for a £40 hour's labour, that takes 15 mins to do
  10. In America and Canada, there is a recall for this micro switch problem , why wont Skoda sort it for free over here, they have made an updated version that can be got for around £40 depending on the age of the car
  11. Yes, you have to find the right LED H7s for reflector lenses, the ones I eventually found have exactly the same kick off as the normal bulbs, but give a dam sight better light on the road on dipped beam, not got the box anymore they came from HIDs for u
  12. It was cloudy and quite dark last night, so went for a drive, what a massive difference being able to see clearly on high beam , made the normal bulbs feel like candles
  13. Brilliant, with H7 led, and the H8 fogs
  14. Ordered these last week, arrived today, fitted and working a treat, thought the DRL where not working then remembered the hand break was on, no dash warning light https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33034490242.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2cfa27b1HLI5Ak&algo_pvid=005873a4-6eae-4fb5-8397-56f0d23522c3&algo_expid=005873a4-6eae-4fb5-8397-56f0d23522c3-0&btsid=0b0a187915924883064947842e79e3&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
  15. If your driving over these daft half humps the councils use on some roads, and you drive to miss them this causes cuts in the tyres
  16. Hi G thank you for your Private Message. We had a look at your vehicle on our system and can confirm that the recommended cambelt change interval is every five years on your OCTAVIA. Please don't hesitate to contact us here if you require assistance with anything else. The five years change interval for the cambelt, is independent of mileage. There is no mileage limit for the cambelt inside your OCTAVIA.
  17. I have just changed from BT to Vodafone and I now have bluetooth connection issues again, sometimes the phone refuses to answer when either connected to the car or through android . auto Is there a bluetooth module in line somewhere or is it built into the head unit of the car or the box in the glove box, need to know so i can try and get another
  18. Is it possible to fit a bonnet strut , instead of relying on the long arm
  19. has anyone fitted H7 dipped beam led headlight bulbs to a 2013 on Octavia with reflector headlights
