[southampton wheel alignment day.]

Have been running a wheel alignment day with hampshire subaru forum over the last few years and as i now own a skoda i thought it would be right to include briskoda this year.

This will be taking place on sunday 28th April from 09:30 at :

The wheel alignment centre

20 City Industrial Park

Southern Road

Southampton

Hampshire

SO15 1HA

02380 332906

http://www.wheelalignmentcentre.co.uk/

This is off of west quay rd.

There will be a max charge of £50 depending on what's done.

Note this is a proper wheel alignment not just tracking.

Get your names down gents,limited to around 12 cars and i will be posting this up on hampshire subaru forum.

we can organise time slots later.

[fuel filter]

My ufi filter came with a new seal.

[Squeaky rotating sound from engine when switched off..]

According to his profile it's a DSG.

No clutch pedal to depress.

DOH!

[Boot net]

I also need this part :wonder:

looking on etka it looks like you have to buy the whole trim panel.

[Squeaky rotating sound from engine when switched off..]

Put your foot on the clutch when turning the engine off,see if that stops it.

[fuel filter]

Have a look at the filter housing,there may be a sticker on it that tells you the manufacturer eg mann hummel or ufi etc.Mine had a ufi sticker and a part no on it.

[Fitting citigo badges how to?]

[Hello from southampton !]

Welcome fellow southampton person :sun:

[Hi, I just bought an octavia]

Hello and welcome,enjoy your vrs

[Pressure washer]

Avoid the cheaper karcher's as the plastic pumps dont last,I have a karcher 6.80 and its been fine for the last 3 years and it gets used every week.

Whatever make you get make sure it has a metal pump head.Got a good deal from http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/

[Alarm led]

Anyone??? this is driving me nuts i know its only a minor thing but it should work and i doesnt.Did a scan with vcds and no issues although there may be a way of testing the led with vcds that i'm not aware of.

Had a word with the stealers and they are quite happy to charge me to check things out and if its a wiring fault they said it wouldnt be covered by the warranty.

Come on guys,someone else must have had this problem

[Door trims removal]

Have a look here

I took off my drivers door card yesterday to investigate a non working alarm led and it only took me 5 mins max.

[Alarm led]

Checked the alarm,it works fine, it's just the flashing led thats not working :wonder:
