  1. My estate has an annoying noise coming from the rear and I believe it is internal. Have placed a cloth or 3 on the wheel kit to make sure it is not that, but I am at a loss as to what else it could be. Have removed all the bits in the side cubbies to make sure it isn't that. It isn't a rattle, more a clunk and not over all bumps. I find myself listening to music louder so that I don't have to hear it. Anyone had this issue and care to share what theirs was please?
  2. Was something to do with overboost, but a quick reset of the error and it hasn't come back
  3. Nothing on the dash and yes, will be getting it read but we are off on holiday Thursday so it will have to sit for 2 weeks before my wife can take it into work. Thankfully we are using hers for the 19 hour round trip!
  4. I shall update you Dean in a couple of weeks when it goes in
  5. So last night, out of a 30 into a National speed limit, floor it and all good until 60, about to change from fourth to fifth and lose power. The remaining 5 miles was painful with no turbo apart from in first gear. Parked up at home, off, back on and fine. Was fine on my 25 mile journey to work too. Am I correct in thinking it went into limp mode? Away soon, but when we get back I will get my mrs to take it to her garage and get it diagnosed. I hope it isn't anything bad as it already needs a new compressor and we need a new dishwasher ££££££ :(
  6. And she cleans up nicely too :sun: And seeing as I am looking after my mum's car, it has been relegated to the road. Still shiny4 days after it was cleaned thankfully
  7. He's very recent, last few months I believe but a good lad. He stayed late to fix my snapped spring
  8. Autobarn in Basingstoke or for me, I use TGM in fleet. Always have for my Type R and my wife works there so get a bit of discount. They also have a part time VW mechanic who works on my skoda. Not quite your usual garage, but you get the truth and the hourly rate is pretty reasonable.
  9. After the new spring and new tyre, decided it needed a good clean 9 years old, 105,000 miles and comes up ok I think
  10. and a new OSR spring needed as the current one has snapped! FFS, does explain the occasional knocking that I put down to over sensitive hearing on my part. Going to be an expensive trip :(
  11. Swapped it for the C Max so that the AC could be looked at and the annoying vibration from the offside rear. Compressor on the AC is on its way out, but is still going, but the rear wheel was because the weights fell off, apparently a hole/gash which is quite scary as I have done a few miles on it. Glad it never gave out and I can only assume it was on the inside as I had run my hand around the tyre when it first started playing up
  12. Paul Here is the thread with a working link for the download file http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/151637-speeding-up-bolero-sd-possible-solution/page-6#entry1968633
  13. Paul, you need to place one song in the root on its own, start the mix from that and go from there. I need to sort mine as a lot of the new songs I added without using the Bolero software that was posted on here aren't in track order, but a-z.
  14. My brolly is too small and smacks the side unless I pack that box out with hats and gloves :(
  15. Well it seems that work being slightly busier and me with my head on correctly, I am more than happy being in my Octy and quite fancy seeing 150k on the clock. Why trade in a car I know, doesn't cost a great deal and works? Yea, silly 5 on my part; as you were
  16. hehe, for a 1 litre eco box, it went ok especially in first or second. Hard life though, brakes were awful and it has only done 30,000 miles
  17. leaving it parked up and taking this to the tip rather than dirty my car
  18. Over pressured apparently, but they don't know why yet
  19. Did the reset only a month or so ago. Will check the temp sensor in the top box. I am sure I remember it being there before, but it is possible as they are quite loose. Wife has taken mine to work to get the vag guy to have a look, see what he thinks. Excuse to use hers and then fill up with super diesel by accident, 12p a litre more! Hope the little C max appreciates it, my Octavia doesn't get treated that well!
  20. Might have to give my mate a call and borrow his vcds. Thanks guys And Phil that's a good shout. Will have a look tomorrow night
