First time starting a project thread, bear with me... Heard about this Roomster not too far from me that might be heading for a scrapyard, and decided to try to acquire it. That went well and it came to my place this last weekend. Early 2012, 1.2 TSI, 5sp manual, 158k miles on the clock. This is it, just after being washed. Paintwork is far from pristine, but that's not something I care much about. I'd looked up the spec via the reg plate before seeing pics of the car, so there were one or t

Can't open driver's window without holding onto button

Murmansk · 15 May, 20251 yr

65 Reg Octavia estate All my other windows work ok but on the driver's door window I have to hold down the button until the window is fully open.

ABS Sensor Issues

pacwin · 25 June25 Jun

Hi, Not having much joy resolving my ABS issues. SKODA SUPERB (3V3) 2.0 TDI (110 kW / 150 hp), 2016, 150K miles ABS issues started with poor battery on start, battery has been replaced and coded, issue remains. Can see issue is with rear left, on my reader due to wheel speed being 1/3 the other wheels. Fault would appear after 25 meters of driving. Replaced rear left sensor and wheel bearing (magnetic ring mostly disintegrated). Now 0 wheel speed on rear left. 10.5 volts on FL, RR and RL

Replacing interior boot release switch on 2017 Kodiaq

Winttersgill2000 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi, The boot release switch in the tailgate keeps getting stuck. I've tried blowing it out with compressed air etc but have just purchased this part. Does anyone know if there is a guide/video/manual on removing tailgate panel to replace it? TIA https://skodapartsdirect.co.uk/product/skoda-various-models-2017-present-interior-boot-release-switch/
