Don’t forget to add mileage, hope you don’t mind the post ?

MDI port allows connection of iPod iPhone or usb with appropriate lead ?

@Zoltanb please check your messenger on the forum. I already messaged you directly. We can continue this conversation.

I have used these for most my parcels. Will review once I work out where it is and how much it weighs. Will private message you. Have you made sure it’s not sitting in your spare wheel foam as I believe there is a place for it with the Jack etc?

I have seen your profile Basildon to my North of Bham. Quite a long way

I have that detachable hook for my 2005 hatch. Weighs an absolute ton. I removed it after purchase in 2009. Somewhere in my garage. Postage would be prohibitive given the weight. Where are you based @Zoltanb?

Auto trader gives you a price guide once reg entered. If the car is pretty standard there is not much movement on price. Most dealers and garages are very over priced at the moment. Part ex usually always the lowest you will get. Worth trying your luck here and Autotrader if you get to make 1k plus selling. Offloading quickly like WBAC or part ex comes with risk you getting less than selling private.

Plus 1 for leverage use a Jack on the end of your spanner/socket wrench for those stiff calliper bolts.

Galvanic corrosion happens a lot in that area

I agree MDI cables various connections on the other end. iPhone lightening. USB or old style iPod versions I have myself. Works across the VAG range also.

Maybe try one of those solar AA battery maintainer devices. Got one myself recently.

There is a menu price on cambelt and it’s way cheaper than a 2lt diesel with water pump at £600 at Skoda. Call a few more dealers and ask with your registration.

I had stepping of tread on ZV5 and similar on ZV7 on the rear of the Superb 2.

Only keep away from Avon ZV5/7. Superb and other VAG don’t like them. A Google will also give some real life reviews from users.

Find someone on here with VCDS there is a post/sticky with a map. Hopefully do it for nothing or some beer tokens.

@pab567or anyone else help with a query for a friend. VW golf match TDI 64 plate with standard DAB Stereo for that era of car. Would like Android auto which I presume means he can use the Nav app from his phone?, whilst maintaining OEM. What are his options Bham based, would like to be fairly local if possible. Thanks in advance

Forgot to say I could not read anything of use off my old struts and not about to pay £40 odd for a genuine strut each!

I had exactly the same issue on my 2005 hatch. Feels very resistant when pulling down on the hatch to close. But at under £20 a pair they were cheap including a 5 year warranty. I fitted them about a month ago on a car with 257k on it. I am on bangernomics territory. Used ones were too risky and £10-20 a set not worth it in my mind. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274305477507?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Ewc_ewyzRjS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=45o-tdWCRea&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY As @KenONeillsays we probability got used to the gradual decline in strength as they got weaker

Without any experience of said symptoms. How about clutch/DMF as being the likely cause. Have you had to change a clutch/DMF? Before my DMF/clutch was changes I used to get a buzzing from the glovebox side of the car when accelerating. Once DMF was removed it as noted it was very wobbly/on its last legs. Very common issue on our era PD cars

The window switches also go white as yours have started to. Other than that the octy2 interior can take a fair bit of abuse. Not tackled any of this myself. Wonder if something could be wrapped around the handles. More to cover up the look?

Not sure about temperature issue the natural thing would be the engine stat. Hopefully others will be along who know more. The cambelt kit is due on age now, rather than miles. I changed the cambelt kit and water pump based on age(not miles) on a Superb with the same engine this year.

It’s age and mileage. How long since last belt in years? You are looking at 5 years. If your car is a DSG it’s likely to be that stat to be changed first, if doing weird things.

Or by an adapter with a switch on it to turn off without removal
