hi , how difficult is it to change. also some further details, when the car is in traffic standstill , the heat inside car will increase and temp will not go above 90 degrees on dash

so is it easy to change the thermostat on a 1.9 tdi, bsv engine ?

HI this is not showing anything on vag com , aka no errors . forgot to say this is 1.9 tdi 105 hp engine, bsv code best regards Mick

Hi looking for your help and advise on problem which has just shown up. in short my heater is not working, car temp goes between 80 and up to 90 degrees ( always previously went to 90 which is normal) but will blow very cold air when started, to slightly warmer when in 80-90 degree range , this take about 5 mile drive to reach this temp. thankfully car is not going any higher. I am just wondering if any member seen this issue before, my first though would be that it might be thermostat, which is permantely stuck , but would welcome your imputs.... climate control is changing, but having no effect on temp ,and will not increase temp or lower it many thanks Mick

original, or aftermarket ones, if latter, can be bought on e bay

best of luck, and are alloys gone

Hi just wondering if anyone has had to change these and what process is, is it difficult job, is there screws behind mirror glass or just the spring clips holing on to bottom of mirror casing. any help would be appreciated, it passenger side on RHD car many thanks Michael

this was traced to a faulty light switch, which had latched on/ stuck that fog lights were on , so finally got a light switch, and problem solved....

mine failed with in excess of 200k.... for what..... wrong style of number plate letters were too bold style writing !!! anyway, all was well apart from that so just replaced and enjoyed the guy rechecking the car for this miserable failure for this miserable failure,he didnt.pen the roller shutter door high enough, and banged his head... good enough for him lol

HI Cown i can find no dampness on any of carpets. was one of 1st things i checked but will again, is there anywhere in paricular i should check (eg i have checked passenger side footwell many times just in case) have noticed also that when ignituion is off i can put on parking lights andf they are fine, when i turn on ignition parking lights go out, and front fog/ driving lamps come on hope it not water ingress

HI My front fog lamps on my 56 plate superb, have decided to come on, once i switch ignition on (without any other lights on ) I suspect this might be due to (a) a stuck relay or ( faulty light switch any fellow superb/ skoda owners have similar problem a week or 2 ago, i heard a faint buzzing from light switch, would this signify maybe switch has malfunctioned and maybe fused a contact inside? I took out relevant fuse, to see if this would rectify , if it was a relay that had stuck on, but no resolution help would be appreciated, it is not an issue at moment, only thing i be afraid of, is that could cause a fire if dodgy switch/relay . but would hope fuse would act as safety

got it sorted, eventually found that it was fuse in fuse box , which didnt appear blown but was

very good

found out it as quite simple, it had gone to degrees F matter of toggling two button to change..

HI I have decided to change the lights on my car to led (canbus no errors from e bay) mainly because the contacts on my old lights were broken, and led were as cheap as new units. problem i have is that I fitted one, and it worked fine, (drivers side ) fitted second one and then both of them went out, like a fuse had blown etc, checked fuse box, cant see fuse blown , the lights themselves are fine(as i checked with cable and connected to battery, guess my next route is check for power again on both units, using multimeter .. are there any other fuses anywhere that might have blown, as i heard a pop .. cannot use old lamps as they are beyond use any ideas

HI I have noticed over weekend that my climate control is giving fauly reading . it is reading 37 degrees outside ( I wish.....) and cabin temp from 65- 80 degrees (time get shorts and sunscreen out) I can regulate the temp, just seems to be faulty readings, anyone any idea on possible causes? would it be control unit or a faulty temp sensor somewhere ?

Hi Guys looking for your help and advice on this. how difficult a job is it, any tips, looking at 3 replacement parts http://www.ebay.co.u...=item41619b1013 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4160e2db3a http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4aa6b3814d I have read topics on having drill out screws, is this where you dont have backing plate as in option one versus two and three also does anyone have any pics or guide on this my car is 56 reg superb classic 105bhp 1.9 tdi and think bsv engine cheers Mickeymac

hi Guys just wondered if anyone has changed these out themselves (rear shocks), is it a easy enough job to to do, is there anything to watch out for, example usual rusty bolts/ mountings, any advise on how to do best, or ways of avoiding any pitfalls is it a matter of loosening a few bolts, jacking up suspention to relieve the pressure on shock and changing out shocks . do i need new locknuts? and what shocks are best to replace with... was gonna stick with Monroe best regards Michael
