  1. I’ve had a mk2 since 2005 now with 170000 miles on the clock, good car. I also have a mk3 2019. Different car more refined better in many ways but more electronics just seems better put together and more refined. Mk3 for me
  2. Doubtful that these will fit due to seat post height with back wheel still in place. I put my road bike flat on the floor with wheels still in place. I have a large sheet of 25mm thick rubber which will cover the boot area, then a second bike can go on top of the other. It works but I don’t do it often. I use a tow ball rack for MTB or road bike if I need the boot.
  3. Talk to an Auto Electrician and discuss the options. I have a Smart Fortwo with a bike rack and the electrics are fed from inside the boot, it’s the official kit and connects with a small connector approx 15mm dia the cable then just sits through the boot gap through the rubber out to the bike rack. as said before you need someone who understands the canbus system so that it still functions.

  4. Skoda dealers charge £39 for MOT can’t see £200 value for that. if you wait until Black Friday time you may find that there’s a discounted rate 30% off maybe. I’m paying £12 per month for 3 years service plus mot. only covers routine service not the air con services
  5. Googled the part number and this post came up. Sorted cable release also stopped working it had come out of the housing, fixed. odd thing is that when I looked at the other seat to see how the cable worked it did not have a cover so I didn’t put 2 and 2 together.
  6. Well know up North that you don’t buy used cars from Keighley. most forums have some tales regarding this seller. im 25 miles away and I think I would travel to Plymouth rather than risk from them. very intimidating atmosphere at the garage so I’m told. they do have some exotics but I don’t know anyone who has bought from them. I think there’s a “wedding” hire business this car could be the exception but do you want the risk?
  7. Hi, help please. 2019 2.0 tdi. I got one of the cheap VW dongles from eBay as I thought the Skoda lite app may be helpful. Soon realised it’s not much more than a gimmick and a way of Skoda to mine more information about you and the car. I’ve downloaded the VAG DPF app and it appears that it’s not communicating with it,, it could be me but I like an instruction book, it’s an age thing. if I need a new dongle then I should ensure that it will do everything. For example will it work with OBD eleven if I decide to go that way in the future. Any recommendations thanks
  8. Help please looking at buying a MkIII and when looking under the bonnet it’s a bare battery. Can’t find a specific photo on-line so I thought I could ask the experts here. I’m assuming it’s similar to my MkII with a clip off lid. thanks in advance.
