have to disagree, it is very common, from the workshop point of view, it normally occurs 30k upwards but ive seen it happening within 2000 miles before, alot of it is to do with cheap diesel,

yes im based in uk, never seen the ivory without wood, glad that i dont have to get that, im kinda toying between 3 cars exeo 170 sport tech +extras octavia vrs w / ****nav + extras superb estate + extras any thoughts?

hi guys does anyone have high res pics of the superb estate in black and white, no not the photo the car paint colour, trying to decide which colour and googles pics arent very good. more so of the rear, also what do you guys thinks best? looking to get an elegance 170 actually just found some black pics on parkers, just need white now, although more black wont hurt also can you get creme leather without the wood trim?

Dpf filters are a common problem with most car companies, I am a mechanic to trade, worked for nissan untill last month, the soot created by a diesel is collected in the dpf and then burnt off when the following are met, engine is at normal operating temperature exhaust gases are travelling fast enough (rpm) constant rpm, basically to burn off the soot, the engine injects too much fuel causing the exhaust temp to rise, this in turn burns off the soot, however should you accelerate or deccelerate this process stops, as for acceleration you may require full power say to avoid collision etc, should the vehicle not produce this then skoda would be liable, so to burn it correctly you need to stick to a set speed at around 3k rpm, motorway driving, a few days around town starting and stopping then problems occur, im looking to buy a diesel but dreading the dpf.

Just changed my front and back brakes, brake dimensions discs and ferrodo pads, £120 all in, at the end of the day cheaper parts work just as well, there all good materials nowadays unless you buy a dodgy hongkong gone wrong from ebay!

if youve lost siplay and steering controls might be worth your while popping the radio out and checking the connections at the back, will be either the yellow or green mini iso plug

the height of your spare tyre is larger that the ones on your car but the rim smaller making it roughly the same size

i dont think its that, i unplugged it all and rebuilt thinking it mayb be the actuators inside but it doesnt seem so, i really dont know what it is,

does anyone have the superb workshop mauals? of preferably the whole skoda range, id be willing to trade nissan, mg rover and ford mauals for this. i also have etka the parts database for vw audi seat skoda

hey guys, ive a 1.8t 02 superb theres a clicking noise from the glovebox area when driving, it used to be just at speeds over 80 but now its at 30+ im a mechanic myself so naturally ive had the dash out several times covered everything in foam and refitted, the buggers still there, ive also checked around the pollen filter etc, any ideas before i roll it off a cliff?
