There are write ups on here for this job. I believe a special tool is required to get at the door lock cable, but this could be only for keyless cars, not actually sure. Have a search certainly one or two threads in 2021.

It sounds like the Vrs Octavia wins over the Leon, maybe it’s the 230bhp!

Leon sounds really nice. I didn’t know they did such a powerful diesel version. Independent suspension i am sure makes a difference, we have a 2013 1.2Tsi Tech which is solid beam. Lovely cars to look at and loaded with toys. How do you get bigger brakes is that a factory option on the FR? Did you go manual or DSG? Hatch or estate ? This is almost like a Golf GTD but way cheaper right?

Welcome back. 4 years went so quick. what do you think of the Leon what do you have exactly? You went from a 07 Octy? Plus of course tell more about new Octavia also😜

Assuming you have 18” diamond cut wheels these can be more costly than “normal” alloys. Some people have refurbished them and not diamond cut them again. I think it helps with the longevity in future. Costs vary and so does quality. So shop around. If you specify your location, perhaps others in your locale can give some recommendations of where to go.

140 or 170bhp? Elegance or L&K? Forgive me, just so noisy. But it helps if your profile is updated when asking specific questions in relation to your car.

A Columbus can do all of that. I believe you need the Dab model. Bluetooth module. You have Nav perhaps out of date and camera can be added to the show on screen. No expert, so hopefully someone more knowledgable will be along soon.

Welcome to the forum. Which model spec engine do you drive? Your profile is basic

Drivers door wiring loom. Check the gaitor in the door jamb. It’s so common in the last 6-12 months and on Superbs

For me the drivers affected the passenger door on the offside also. Check it locks opens all window and mirror controls work from drivers door. Was the usual wiring loom drivers door gaitor which knocked out the rear door lock also some window controls

Did you check the inner and outer pads? Perhaps the one front or rear pad within the wire on it has somehow ground to earth or however it works?

Spill the beans what was the diesel cleaner you used did you wack the whole bottle in the tank?

Surely the owner would have been aware of such stone chips during ownership already? or have they been coloured in that well that the first time it saw a jetwash rather than say a home bucket wash they all fell out ?

Some say a Golf Mark 5 2004 onwards ,can give similar insight to the Octy. Not sure if the situation has changed

You used some hair product on it?

That’s a very good run for the car. What engine size was that and what gearbox manual or DSG did you ever change the gear oil on a manual? Did you experience any common issues with it ?

This may go some way to explain the current market. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/355110/used-car-prices-skyrocket-all-time-high

Get the balance checked at another tyre shop first with weights still on. If they find an issue get them rebalanced.

400k. That’s amazing. There are some cabs mentioned on here that have done 400-500k. I am at 255k. Due to motorway mileage, rust is setting in underneath to components and some of the body, sills and corner of rear bumper into wheel arches. How is yours fairing?

No experience on the S2 yet. It sounds like maybe 2/3 of the cost maybe labour for bumper removal etc.

Some estates start to rust around the number plate lights. Maybe do a search and take some action before it starts.

That foot pack is common across loads of cars. I think a 757 one for combi. Staycation year 2021,hopefully plenty of takers.

Alternator perhaps? Screwdriver on it and the other end on you ear lobe. Does the noise transmit.

My 2011 estate had the below parts used by the dealer in April 2021 Hope it helps, someone has done a write up how to replace on here I think.

Whoops wrong way around. Does that risk wheel arch rub?
