Feels very wierd doesn't it!... and doing the actual 'shaving' bit is quite nerve wracking...

all the best - get practising the cowboy walk!

With the cross climates did you put an extra couple of psi in them? I've found they are very good but do need a slightly higher pressure than recommended for the usual summer tyres.

I get the feeling Lucid have just leapfrogged them big style... Home | Lucid Motors They reckon their powertrain is 2.5 times more compact than others of similar outputs...

As above I'd reckon it was simply coincidence

In that case it will be a xenon burner on its way out and needing replacement.

You've beaten me to it! AP Tyres have been recommended to me as well previously. I've not used them personally but have seen their work on MX5 Race Cars

Maybe I am but just my opinion having had a good look around one. It really didn't appeal. And that's from someone with experience of three of the recent versions of Civic and two versions to the Jazz, which also points to the fact that Honda build quality isn't what it was. However take a closer look yourself as your opinion may be completely different.

Sen one in a dealers in Belfast when buying a previous model Jazz for my mother in law... The new Jazz is pretty horrid to look at inside and out IMHO. It's also a CVT as far as I remember and is expensive for what it is. The old model Jazz is much nicer (my mum also has one in top spec)

For info we've had our MkII Octavia since 2007 and it has this issue, exacerbated slightly by parking facing uphill. After heavy rain or a wash it too will drain water out of the door when opened but in in 13 years we've never had an issue with water freezing inside the door and the doors are still solid with no obvious sign of external or internal rust along the bottom edges. I know the Kamiq is a different and much newer design but the above may give you some degree of comfort that it's unlikely to cause issues long term (provided you keep your feet out of the way of the drain holes when you open the doors )

Today mine was an R-reg Rover 100 in Burgundy I followed it round the Ring Road and it looked tiny - even compared to what we class today as a small car...

I dunno - something about the new Octavia just looks 'droopy' style wise tome... I'm not sure I like it

Now why didnt i think of that.. Too obvious for words and a process of elimination

Yep that's the one as far as I can tell and seems to be the one linked as part no 7 ending in K... Brill thanks!!!

BMM is a different layout:

Oh **** I'm even more confused now... I've just been out with a torch and parts 9,11 and 13 resemble those going to the EGR and Throttle body. Parts 7, 6 and 4 resemble those from the turbo to the intercooler. I'm therefore thinking I need a 7 but @Tech1e says 13???? I thought 7 initially but then somehow managed to convince myself the image was reversed as it's completely different to the BMM in a 4x4... Looking from the front of the car the pipe goes from the turbo and snakes down to the bottom right of the intercooler and out of the top left of he intercooler horizontally back to the throttle body. So using @Wino logic it's Item 7 I'm therefore pretty convinced now it's 7 I want... No sign of part nos as the hose is covered in oil and carbon from the split (as is half the back of the engine compartment) but cleaning it up a bit I can see it's red - which matches those coming up in a search for item 7 ending in K. Search for item 13 and it looks like the hose going to the throttle body and they are all black... So 7... (I think?) - 3C0145828K

Evening All, I have a split boost hose on my 2007 BMM 4x4 - the first hose from the turbo towards the intercooler. Looking at the 7zap site for part nos I'm being a bit thick and can;t decide whether I need item 7 or item 13... can any one confirm please as they are slightly different on one letter different and I have a feeling the diagram is a mirror image of reality: charge air cooler - Octavia(OCT) [EUROPA 2007 year] (7zap.com) My gut says item 7 but the image suggests 13 if reversed...

Just trying to check the part number on 7zap: charge air cooler Skoda Octavia [Octavia (2004 - 2008)] (7zap.com) Can anyone confirm whether that image is reversed. I need the first pipe from the turbo to the intercooler which, if it is reversed, is 3C0145838D...

Just managed to have a look at this and, although I'm now covered in black crap, have confirmed it's the same pipe that has gone again -small split at the back near the turbo... so given the cost to replace last time was stupid and the part is only about £40 I'll probably have a go myself

Think I have the same issue again seven years on. No fault codes yes but a very distinctive wooshing noise and that same pipe looks to be quite oily. Just need to find the part number again now

That would make it a BMN engine code which is EU4 so should pass even without the dpf as the limits were much less strict. So it sounds like its a visible weld or similar that's the issue unless the map is way off or you have something else amiss

What year is it. If it's old enough it should still pass with the dpf off unless it is very obvious it's been tampered with which sounds like it might be the case

Happy birthday everyone! And massive thanks to Colin for making it all possible.

My understanding is that kevlar tanks have solved those issues...

Same here - to the extent that my work colleagues asked the office manager to find me a quiet keyboard - they came up with a Microsoft 600 IIRC that seemed to be significantly quieter - until we moved offices and all had to go wireless...
