What part is this? (rear suspension)
useyourname posted a topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Noticed this after cleaning the car today. Nearside rear: I thought it was a bump stop but looks more like a spring. -

I made a bit of a boo boo when jacking up the rear today.

On way to work noticed I had no rear wiper and when I got there I got a silent alarm (just lights flashing). When out to unlock and relock and noticed no lights when locking.... The Wiper actually worked again for a couple of times, but then tripped out. So I did lots of searching and from what I could find it's potentially a faulty lock module. I suspect it's the boot as this makes sense as to why the wiper doesn't work. Does this sound about right? I guess I'll have to get the boot apart and check out the lock.... Will

What did you do to your Skoda today pt2
useyourname replied to chrisgreen's topic in General Automotive Chat
Got all the windows tinted, at last. -
Turns out after doing the handbrake test it's the rear brakes.

The pistons went back ok. I did have the carrier and caliper off. I'll have a god at cleaning up and lubing those pins. Thanks

What do you mean by the slides?

I have already tried copper grease on the previous pad replacement and it made no difference.
-
It seems to be coming from NSF. I first tried replacing pads then today I replaced Discs plus new Pads and yet she still squeals. What else could be the cause of the squeal? Could the calliper piston be causing the squealing? Thanks

Anyone got instructions on how to bleed the system? -
Sounds awesome and I'd definately like to go... Do you use your main car? I worry that I will knacker the engine and then have no motor

Should i change tyre size?
useyourname replied to useyourname's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I just picked these up for £27. Four in total. Just need to decide on tyre. http://i.imgur.com/qQOaPkph.jpg -
Im gonna get some winter tyres as my vrs estate is on some budgets (prev to ownership) and it slides everywhere in the rain. Its on 18 Zenith with 225 40 18 tyres. Is there a preferred tyre size for better handling in winter conditions? Cheers.
