Isn't that just the gap as supplied from the factory though... Which may not be the gap your car needs. If it were me I would gap them at the prescribed 0.8mm for the car. Other than that they look fine.

Did you gap the electrodes correctly to 0.8mm before fitting as those gaps look pretty big in the photos which would cause issues

Having seen some of the issues with the mk4 Octavia I wouldn't go near one with a barge pole and would stick with the superb

Oh dear... please don't patronize me or assume I'm stupid... Take a look at the picture you posted and you'll see a small balancing drill hole on the outer steel ring... The part is balanced during manufacture, as is the rest of the prop prior to assembly. By all means get the prop off the part replaced and balanced and then refit it but you'll be wasting time and money. I'll not offer you any further advice on this as I think I'm done here... Blackbull... Good luck getting yours sorted!

Possibly but Audi will sell you the doughnut alone... Which kind of blows the balancing theory out of the water... The individual parts should be balanced themselves anyhow. Having said that when I was researching mine the general concensus was fit and drive and if the new one was found to make a noise loosen one side and rotate one bolt hole then try again. But yes they are both prone to wear although it's the rear that generally causes the droning issue. The front is a slightly different design and tends to be better protected so lasts longer. The indy I spoke to had done a few A3s replacing just the rear unit with success.

Yes that's the one at the rear. There is a slightly different one at the front. Cheapest for the rear is febi at about £100 but if you ask Skoda they will only sell you the full propshaft including the coupling at well over £700, so search for Audi A3 or A4 parts.

It is the exact same thing...

When we bought our 3yr old kodiaq it had recently been serviced including the hald3x but the dealer was unable to answer my question about whether the haldex gauze filter had been cleaned. It didn't bother me tough as the rest of the car was good and given the low mileage and low cost to do it'll get done at the upcoming service by an independent.

I'm away from my laptop where I have the dimensions but would say no you won't have the length in a Fabia unless you are short and can run the passenger seat a long way forward. You will in a mk2 Octavia though! My neighbour used to in his and he was nigh on 6ft and I recall we got a three seat sofa in ours with the boot shut. If I can dig the detail out when I'm home and have the info to hand I will!

Almost as good as flashy led leve meters in graphic equalisers from the 80s

Cheers Ryan!!... Yes I'm still here from 2002 IIRC Just checked... 2nd December 2002 to be precise but prior to that was on the VWVortex Skoda group for a while before Colin created this breakaway!

If its a 1.4 it doesn't have an engine cover so the cross will mean not checked as not present

Looks like I'll be keeping an eye out for you then if you're in Sheff! There's a fair few appeared round us (south west Sheff) the last few months...

If you go on to the skoda website, open up a chat they will give you the spec and any extras based on you vin no.

I have an Anker one: Anker Car Charger, Mini Aluminum Alloy 24W Dual USB Car Charger, PowerDrive 2 Alloy Car Adapter with Blue LED for iPhone12/11/XR/Xs, iPad Pro/Air 2/mini, Galaxy (Not Compatible with Quick Charge) : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo Seems to do the job and no complaints from the kids in theback!

Blimey that was bad - my 1995 Mk1 is ten years older and nowhere near as bad! Where did it live its previous life? In the tidal zone at the local seaside?

Carista does the job too and is VAG specific so may be worth a try too.

Sounds like you might need to be doing some careful checking for split / insecure pipes on the intake side of things??

The issue here is that the VED value is NOT what you pay for the car... It is the list price of a vehicle of the same spec AT THE TIME OF FIRST REGISTRATION. That is different to the selling price which may have been agreed many months earlier

There is a lot spouted about buses being environmentally friendly but when I last looked at pollution and emissions info you'd need over 20 people on a bus for it to be better than those same individuals each using their own car...

Interestingly the most polluted location in Sheffield is the train station and specifically the pedestrian bridge over the tracks... The reason being the idling diesel locos spewing out black exhaust fumes and particulates.

I had a Sony cfs210 when I started work... But I was sharing a house with some mates and we had it in the kitchen and one of them managed to melt it!

You beat me to it - temp sensor for the Climate Control

He he... Boom ox... Love it! I don't think I can post what some people used to call them as its not politically correct these days. I've got something similar to your Panasonic that I use in the garage... An old Sony CFM-23L that has two speakers but is mono... I remember buying it and being torn between it and another less well known make that had proper stereo speakers. I've also got an ancient Panasonic radio in there as well

Just realised we're at cross purposes... I looked at your video again and the bus IS an eCitaro which can come with LMP batteries as I said... So we are actually talking about the same thing! Hence apologies for my mistake... I think I had a Man M12 in mind for some daft reason.
