Hi Guys,

Thought i'd join up as going to view a Skoda Octavia GLX Tdi for sale that needs new wishbones and the rear shocks "tightening" as the owner puts it lol so hoping to find some info out!

Cheers

Welcome!:wavey: If the owner is admitting to it needing that much, it probably needs more!

Hope it's priced accordingly for you...

Hiya.

Unless the mounting bolts are loose, there is no way of tightening a normal hydraulic damper unit. They'll need replacing, so have a browse throught the Site Sponsors section, and get an idea how much the parts are going to be.

Yeah, I'm quite shocked how cheap modern VAG group parts are! Having a car from the land of the rising sun its a nice suprise!

The price of the car, even if it needs a few hundred quids work is well worth it.

Enabling Traffic Sign Assist/ Fatigue Detection

TumnusCat · 31 March, 20188 yr

I have a 7 seat edition on order but as a stock car it has lane assist but I wasn't able to specify the fatigue detection or traffic sign recognition which were on the nice to have but non essential list. Is it likely I will be able to enable these or get them enabled by someone using VCDS? Is there anything else I might want to get enabled at the same time? Thanks

I guess this is a common problem with the steering wheel and the silver trim piece at the bottom. Has anyone managed to find this replacement part (on AliExpress, Temu, or anywhere else)? A new one costs over €120 (https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/5e3419671vkh-steering-wheel-cover-skoda-46861.html), which seems absurdly expensive for what it is. I've seen that some people repaint it, wrap it with vinyl, or use other fixes, but I'd really prefer to find a brand-new replacement part at a rea

Camber adjustment

smithysmoo · 7 hours ago7 hr

So had both rear control arms replaced as the bolt was seized so I couldnt get the tracking done..now the tracking place say they can't get the camber inside spec because there is no adjustment for that and it will be OK as toe is good now.. Have attached the results.. Is the camber adjustment not this bolt in the pic..(which stands a chance is seized aswell)

Columbus Unit popping through speakers then rebooting

martynd7 · 4 March4 Mar

Hi all, I have a 2012 Superb estate with a Columbus head unit recently it has started to make a noise like a pop through the speakers then it shuts down and reboots, it does this all the time so it is not really usable. I have removed the unit because I read on one of the forums that it might be a bad solder joint on one of the chips, I wondered if anyone had experienced this and is the cure? Also on this point, I don't appear to have a bit that fits the screws on the case, could someone please

RNS510 Columbus "pulsing"

Spudskoda · yesterday at 08:151 day

Hello Does anyone have any knowledge of how to remedy issues with the RNS510 Columbus stereo cutting out, and a pulsing kind of heartbeat sound being emitted from the speakers? Do I need to install software? If so, how do I know which type and what version I will need, and where do I get it? Thanks in advance.
