You will need the key to remove it. The key can’t be released from the tow bar unless it’s locked. When you remove the tow bar the key will be retained in the tow bar. I used to keep the key in the little cubby hole by the steering wheel when the bar was fitted.

After 26 months and 27000 miles my Octavia Scout has gone. I no longer need a diesel so made the decision to get rid. It will be replaced by something smaller and petrol, oh and it will not be DSG.. Thanks to all for your advice..

Timely thread this, my 184 DSG Scout had a service at Skoda yesterday, the report recommended the front discs and pads were not far off being shot. They offered to do them for £444 (just the fronts remember…). He genuinely looked shocked when I declined and said I’d do them myself…

Dislikes, in no particular order, seats are awful. stereo sound quality awful. DSG is awful. Likes, cheap to run and service space Back to Volvo for me next.

So long as you’re happy with the deal that’s all that matters. I try not to over-think these things, especially afterwards..

And I’ve done what any seller would do, take the higher offer.

You’d think so… I was contacted by the dealer who sold me my Scout offering to buy it back. They offered £1000 less than WBAC. They can’t have wanted it that badly!

I’m pretty certain the removal of the tow bar will involve costs, dealers rarely work for free.. I’d also be confident that a bar used on an Octavia will not fit on a Superb.

Mine has decided to come apart this morning. Can’t really see how it can be bonded back together. Once it cools down a bit I’ll give it a go, far too hot in there at the moment..

You’ve done well to get it looked at so soon, garages near me in Wiltshire have around a two week wait for bookings at the moment. Hope everything goes well..

I once had an engine light appear on a car on the way home from the garage after collection, it was a Polo GT 130 PD. It was fixed the following week by a local garage and the supplying garage paid the bill. It then performed faultlessly for the next 70,000 miles that I put on it. let the garage sort it and enjoy.

I’ve got Milenco Aeros to use on my 2016 Scout. They stay on fine so long as you’re careful to fit the clamps correctly. They do vibrate slightly but I’ve never found it to be a problem.

The BST box was ticked (the time was correct yesterday...). Anyway, deselected BST, back to radio mode, time still incorrect. Back to settinsg and ticked BST, time now correct.. Will see what tomorrow brings. Thanks all.

Just driven in to work and noticed that the car was displaying the time 1 hour early. It’s set to GPS time and I manually changed it to the correct time. Got to work and reset it to GPS time, it again lost an hour.. Any ideas?

@varaderoguyWhy do you consider the 2016 Scout suspension to be rubbish?
