I was doing some photography at a cycle race last week, when I spotted that one of the cycling teams had half pink Octavia Estates!

Just thought you might like to see - its the first 3 photos in this album:

He would have loved that car.

Ewwwwww!!

I saw one of these on th M5 yesterday and did think to myself OMFG why?

5 August, 200817 yr

I've seen that hideous car on the M6 before.

Did they use Volvo's prior to the Octy's. My brother and I were passed by one a similar colour scheme on the way to Goodwood last year?

Maybe someone started painting it pink as a joke but the owner came back and stopped them half way through:D

Because that's one of Plowman Craven's team cars, their team colours are mainly pink. Team Plowman Craven - Racing Team

Why pink? Because it stands out and the sponsor gets noticed more.

Upgrading Infotainment System To Get Android Auto
Skoda Fabia Mk3 (2014-2021)

Upgrading Infotainment System To Get Android Auto

Deano2004 · 12 January, 20242 yr

Hi All, I have recently inherited a 2015 Skoda Fabia from my late Grandad, at current it has the Bolero (I think) 5Q0035820. I have been told in order to get Android Auto I should upgrade this to the 5Q0035842. To do this is the only thing I need to change the box behind the glovebox or do I need to change the screen as well. Additionally I have found a listing for a 5Q0035842B from a Skoda Octavia, am I correct in thinking this will work in my Fabia.

Burnt out clutch
Škoda Kamiq

Burnt out clutch

Alex707070 · 13 April13 Apr

Hello, can anyone help! I have a kamiq and at 55,000 my car suddenly failed, teva burning smell and no power. Was told it needed a clutch replacement and brakes replacement. £2,500. I questioned this as I’ve been driving for 34 years and never burnt out a clutch. I was forced to pay. I had raised questions about the car having a fault. Was told it was driver error. Fast forward 8 weeks and my clutch failed again - the same burning smell. Garage are unbelievably wanting £1,500 to replace again!!

Hi. Just see that my 2023 skoda sportline karoq 19 inch wheels 19 inch. Sagittarius I believe? One of the covers is missing. Unsure if has been missing long and wanted your take on whether it has been stolen or has just fell off due to bad clips or design flaws. See photo of good wheel and the trim removed. UK right hand drive. Passenger rear. I think this is the missing piece? https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/57a601169cfl8-wheel-cover-skoda-45385.html Not the cheapest. And a quite b

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles

Binx1310 · 22 May22 May

I bought a sportline flat bottom steering wheel but it was the heated version with the view button. I knew the airbag would have a bit of a gap but I didn’t like how it looked or felt overall. So I now have that for sale if anyone is interested. I am on the hunt for a round leather steering wheel. Version with phone button not view button, but with the DSG paddles. If anyone can point me in the direction of the correct part number or even if you have one for sale please let me know!

A/C actuating switch

surv1v0r · 20 hours ago20 hr

Last year I had my 2013 Mk. 2 Fabia air conditioning (A/C) serviced by WeChillAnyCar - I had used them before on a different car. They extracted the gas, refilled it, (allegedly) tested that everything worked and I paid them for the work.. I didn't think to test it until a few weeks later when I discovered that it didn't work at all. After numerous 'phone calls and emails I accepted that they weren't going to admit that they hadn't actually tested it. I gave up and took the car to an authorised
