Does your CYC lance come apart as usually there is a fine mesh gauze inside them which creates the foam, this gets blocked and requires cleaning?

Get yourself a set of detailing brushes

should be fine and yes 4.5 litres with filter change - is this Costco?

what colour is it and are you offering postage?

I usually wash them out in a bucket with my normal car shampoo and when I do a machine wash of microfibres cloths I throw them in with them at 40 degrees using Woolite liquid and white vinegar in the fabric softener drawer.

Do you mean the sponge/foam polish applicators?

is it the digital climate control? if so it needs to be on AUTO and lower the temperature right down

is this still available, if so what model is it and does it have air con? thanks

a tar remover should shift it, something like Autosmart Tardis or Carpro TarX, where are you based as someone may be able to help you out with some rather than you having to buy it?

You remove the 2 piece plastic cover from the rear of the arm rest base, may have to remove the rear cup holder (can't remember) - there is one hexagonal bolt which holds it, maybe loose?

Mine does this every now and again, I think it has something to do with the immobiliser so the key code suggestion may be correct, I just live with it as it rarely happens

Did mine with a George wet and dry vac

Octavia MK1 Estate Front Wipers Not Working

Possible the linkage has siezed up, I took mine apart last year and greased it all up as the wipers were very slow -

Estate interior and hatch.
alexandjen replied to billy2981's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
the door cards don't fit an estate as they are too pointed, I bought a complete interior from a member with a hatchback and the rear door cards didn't fit -

A quick update: Towed my caravan today for the first time since performing the Mr Muscle treatment, gave it the beans up a steep hill and for the first time ever - NO LIMP MODE! She seems a lot better solo now, a lot more torque low down and accelerates more smoothly Thanks to Lofty for pointing me in the right direction and for all the advice

and me

Just back from half hour of ragging the nuts of the car - quite a bit of smoke to start with but soon cleared Took it too the limiter in 2nd and 3rd a couple of times, took her up a few steep hills to put her under load in a high gear and did a bit of high speed, flat out work - no sign of limp mode and the acceleration and torque seems to have improved already - still can't hear much noise from the turbo but she does seem smoother Maybe I'll give it another treatment over the weekend if I get time as I'm sure as it was so bad it must still have some crap left in it. A big thank you to Lofty79 for all the help and advice and furnishing me with the tubing and an elbow free of charge - top bloke :clap: I have a few more pics which I took during the procedure if anyone wants them, maybe add them to the guide?
