What's this hidden in the dashboard.?
Cryonut replied to warren172's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Looks like a battery saver device for a dash cam to stop the camera discharging the battety to far. -
Sound deadening jacket. 1.9 TDI

Do you mean item 17 in the link below? https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2010-663/1/103-103085/ -
Pullers are not needed for octavia wheel bearings as the bearings come mounted in the hub, they just bolt on as stated by jmattley, much easier than it was on the Mk4 platform.

Engine flush is not recommended as loose carbon can block the small oil capillaries, regular oil changes with a good quality oil would be better, Also no need to remove exhaust to do Mr Muscle, loads of vids on you tube showing how to fill turbo from the EGR pipe, the best way to avoid carbon building up in the future is to regularly excerise the turbo, short trips pottering around will allow the carbon to build up to get worse, these 1.9pd engines are great but don't like being driven like miss daisy.

1.8 tsi DSG 2nd gear judder
Cryonut replied to andybarsblade's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
DSG oil should be chaneed every 40K, don't be tempted to have it done on the cheap, i.e. don't use non VAG oil, iirc dealer cost is around £180 or £100 if you diy it, Some info on diy below, http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/dsg-fluid-drain-and-replacement-service-vw-and-audi-stronic-oil-flush/ -
Could be swarf from the screw holes when the bolts were removed

1.8 tsi DSG 2nd gear judder
Cryonut replied to andybarsblade's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
What mileage, when was the DSG last serviced? -
I would remove the headlight and check the vents are clear, driving with the dipped beam on will help them dry out.

Some info here, https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2010-663/9/ Not sure how easy to work out which it is though

12v sockets plus wiring dash cam
Cryonut replied to Whizzkid's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
The easier way is to use a piggyback fuse holder and run the cable up the A pillar to the camera, half an hour max to fit once you realise how to remove the trim pieces. Take a look at EBay item 312133677777 for the fuse holder. -
I would suggest removing wheel and with it laid flat spray soapy water all over it paying special attention to thr beads as its not unknown for corrosion to develop on the alloys where the tyre seals causing a slow leak , it will also be easier to examine the rest of the tyre off the car.

12v sockets plus wiring dash cam
Cryonut replied to Whizzkid's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I've used 2 piggyback fuses, 1 switched live and 1 permanent live, connected both to a 2 way switch so the camera can just be on with the ignition or left on when the engine is off, I. e. At the supermarket etc -
Think I would be checking the yellow connection to the air bag for corrosion, it's common on the one under the seats, Obviously don't just unplug in case it deploys, I suggest looking on Google for safe working practices, i. e. disconnect battery half an hour before working on the airbag.

I use this, https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/car-maintenance-accessories/maintenance-fluids-and-greases/grease/?526770250&0&cc5_150&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3InYBRCLARIsAG6bfMTTFTO1v7kkAyr2gWMTsFfkWvP_QFuJD1BBQ4FtDHvsyTRd23URNzIaAjcxEALw_wcB Much better than copper slip!

Octavia mk2 front grill repaint
Cryonut replied to vrsdx57's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
You can use a small socket, I think I used a 10 mm, to push over some of the clips to compress the plastic tabs without breaking them. -
Oil change with oil pump experiences
Cryonut replied to cheaster's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I use a sealey manual oil extractor, I suck the sump out of the dipstick tube, then the cooler once the oil filter is removed, In the past I have removed the sump plug afterwards to see how much oil left in the sump but only a dribble came out. -
Oil change with oil pump experiences
Cryonut replied to cheaster's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Don't forget if you only drain via the sump plug you leave about half a litre in the oil cooler below the filter. -
Daytime Driving Lights...removal of grill
Cryonut replied to mickg123's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
On my Elegance you just pull it out, might be tight if not removed for a while. -
Not sure if being jaguar specific is a problem, Instructions below https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.towbarsdirect.co.uk/images/Jaguar%20S%20Type%20with%20TEB7AJ%20%26%20TEB1%20MK1.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiWgPTSzYrbAhWSbMAKHXDPCpEQFjAAegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw2mwbXwLjfTxgxFmdTqd4LI

Something like EBay item 152994120357 would do.

Yes, it's canbus, you will need a bypass relay.
