While reversing over the kerb I managed to trash the under engine tray. A lot of the screw fixing plates have gone or no longer secure the screws. They are very difficult to get at to replace. Should I live without the tray or are there alternative ways of fixing the tray under the engine?

Thanks, just about to order Febi steel control arms and the ball joints. Looking at the Febi parts catalogue, they also list the Blue Print ball joint parts, so I assume they manufacture them as well.

My Superb 2.0 SE business tdi estate just passed its MoT with the following advisory: Offside front suspension wishbone rear bush debonding. Before the MoT I replaced the tyre which had heavy wear on the inside edge. Would I be better replacing the bush or the wishbone complete? People also talk about replacing the steel ones with alloy from an Audi. It this worthwhile for one side only? In which case what it the part number? The car is now pushing eleven years old with 86,000 on the clock. It is our workhorse.

My Fabia Series 3 has taken upon itself to wipe the front screen intermittently. Has anyone else experienced this and found a cure?

Well that has thrown up a can of worms! Oil pressure switch malfunction NoX absorber Bank one below threshold. This normally happens when it is being regenerated.

2 Liter diesel. Periodically, after driving a while the Glow Plug warning light starts flashing. If the car is left for ten minutes it doesn't come back on. The car is mostly used for very short journeys and the light comes on on fast longer journeys. The car is due up for its MoT, so I need to get it sorted. Can anyone advise?

I noticed water leaking down the side and door opening of the A post onto the carpet. Looking closer it appears to be draining along the bottom edge of the glove box. Can anyone advise on its cause?

Would there be any issues, as I assume they would have stiffer side walls, on handling?

My tyres are getting close to needing to be replaced. Current my 215/50/17 tyres are all 94 W. Would it matter if one axle was replace with 98 W and if so which axle would it be best to mount them on?

VW have recommended that 509 is not compatible with earlier VW oil grades. Manoil do produce VW509 oil, but I think it is more expensive.

I drove my car a short distance this morned and when I got back in, a short while after turning the ignition on an alarm sounded from the central console area. It stays on for a little while after the ignition has been turned off. It sounds like a burglar alarm but is too quiet to scare anyone off. I have never had this happen before. There are no other warning lights to suggest what the cause is. Can anyone advise?

It is a Westfalia tow bar, which I believe is OEM for the Skoda tow bar. fuse 28,38 and 44 are missing.

I can't think why it should go while I was fiddling with the light unit but then, equally, I cannot think why a single fuse should knock out all the lights and not effect the car

My car is fitted with a reversing camera and a Westfalia towing hook. Trying to sort out the side/ stop light on one side of the trailer I must have blown a fuse as none of the lights work now. But which fuse? The three assigned fuse positions do not have fuses. The only indication is that the front parking assister no longer works. Could that have been used? Being linear minded I do not understand why a single fuse should have knocked out all the trailer lights as they have separate circuits and their own fuses (all the lights still work on the Superb estate). Hiding the fuses and providing such a small diagram suggests they do not want plebs to touch them!

Is there any way to turn off the night time sat nav screen? Pretty much all I can see is a red dart on a black background making navigation virtually impossible, especially on the move.

I have just bought a Mk II Guardsman dog guard for my Mk III with a panoramic roof. It fits exactly. The only issue is that it needs longer 'J' bolts (208 - 210 mm) than those for the MkII. Personally, it is such a tight fit and doesn't rattle that I probably won't bother with the 'J' bolts. Note that the standard grill is one 'square' taller than the panoramic (part number with P suffix) version. I was put off the Mk III version because it has a lower grill extension which requires the cargo bay cover end to stick up when fitted.

Possible. I always carry the keys in my pocket. Thank you

Periodically my Superb estate decides to open all its windows. Is there a reason or way of stopping this very annoying trait?

You are right. I couldn't get the plug in until I took terminal locking tab off. Tried it just now and it went in. Must have ben the wrong way around. Said I was thick!

For those thick, like me, the purple cover slides off towards the centre of the car (with a bit of effort).

Both my screen washer jets are blocked, while the rear jet is pushing out a lot of fluid. I never though that I would need to ask this but how can I clear them? I have no idea if it is a fan type sprayer. It just seemed to go on the screen like any other screen washer (when it was working!). 2015 Superb Estate. Everything thing appears to be hidden inside the bonnet.

My wife's fob has just given up. Fortunately not a keyless system. Back home the spare worked. Swapped batteries around and only the spare worked again. Where do I go from here?

Mine was supplied and fitted through Witter.

Two credit cards with a flat screwdriver worked for me, but it isn't for the feint hearted!
