  1. so in brief., how would you translate 'glaikit wee scunner' ?
  2. What Paulski said, I had to do mine a few months ago, I seem to remember the replacement was about £25 and the job didn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes

    thanks, i'd never have found it

    I want to check the pollen filter, as there is much more condensation when starting the car than i would expect, can anybody confirm where it is, is it the same configuration as a Rapid. I had a quick youtube search and couldn't find anything for the Scala. found a couple of spectacularly bad Fabia ones - here's scene of a car interior with an arrow pointing to the glovebox, then a real closeup of a filter being removed with no idea of how to get from one to the other
  5. woo hoo, thanks chaps, new stick just arrived and it all works. selecting music seems much easier than it was on the octavia, so that's a bonus
  6. It should be locked when the car is. Check and lubricate the locking mechanism, does it spring out if you press it in, does it move or rotate when you lock/unlock the car ?
  7. Oooooooh, never looked at that until now. I've dug out a USB-c USB-a converter cabled and a Cruzer memory stick, but no joy, not recognized in either of the usb sockets, but flipping check, USB-c memory sticks seem ridiculously cheap atm
  8. it does, but ('scuse my ignorance), how would i play the music
  9. I used to have an SD card in the Amundsen in my Octavia, very useful on holiday trips to France and Germany when whatever the locals are broadcasting doesn't quite meet our tastes. I've now got a Scala, with Bolero and android auto, what would be the best and most elegant way of playing music off my phone if I stuck it all on there ?
  10. or I'm too busy stopping frequently delivering parcels/food / cleaning bins / looking for thenext pickup so i'll just leave them on all the time, 'cos that covers me for all options and means i don't have to bother taking my eyes off my phone to look in my mirror
  11. what depth of tread have you got left, and what sort of tyres are they ? I still have 5mm of tread left after 11k
  12. Oil

    gwm97e replied to moordown66's topic in Škoda Scala
    You say 'oil warning' Oil level or oil pressure warning ? if the latter, you may need to do more than just top it up
  13. @Britunculus do let us know what you find that fits. I miss the underseat pockets from the Octavia (I wonder if i could have kept them and swapped them in ?)
  14. Can anybody tell me what this means in plain english , I cant find anything in phone settings about 'auto revoke' ?
  15. thanks @Tolpol62 @Kenny R are you using the VW dongle with the Skoda software ? any recommended sellers on ebay ? I dont want to give my business to the one that just doesn't bother to reply to my questions about compatability if avoidable
  16. Does anyone have any experience of the Skoda connect Lite app, does it do anything useful ? and does anyone know if it is compatible with the VW connect data plug to be seen on Ebay ? I'd guess the software on both was identical but that does'nt mean to say they havent been made incompatible
  17. They just corrode around the mounting bolts, and make a fairly startling noise if they come loose, as mine did. As they were both totally insecure I applied brute force and ignorance to remove them. I did wonder how easy they would be to replace, in an ideal world they'd have their own securing screws, but it looks like they share part of the caliper mountings or something. Certainly wouldn't want to pay £70 a side to replace

    I know that TP is the traffic program, but can anyone enlighten me as to the other twom i haven't been able to find them in the lamentable excuse for documentation
  19. Done, thanks. Anybody going 'home' will now end up at the Skoda dealers its going to ;-)
  20. Is there an easy way to remove all ones data (home address, favourites, last used, etc,etc) before selling a car ?. If there's a reset option, I'd be happy to give it a go
  21. it will be the manual 1.5 petrol ,decision taken this afternoon :-)
  22. I'm looking to downsize from an Octavia (don't do the mileage i used to, and I'm paying for this, not the company) so I'm looking at a used Scala, probably petrol, probably a 1.5 What are the known issues, and any notable plusses/minuses people are aware of ? thanks
  23. Its a 5 speed box, and the advice I got from a garage i took it to this afternoon.... sell it now !
