What did you do to your Skoda today?

Went up to see Mike yesterday:

  • Replaced my rear wiper motor which had given up the ghost
  • Installed a leather armrest, to the top of the jumbo box
  • Popped a Bluevision bulb in the driver's mirror, for puddle lighting to match the other side
  • Replaced the driver's mirror glass as the old one was separating from the backing

Got 99% of the way with a W8 interior light install too, but then found the connector fouled on the sunglass case hinge mechanism, so going to have to find a work-around for that.

All-in-all, a productive day! Many thanks again to Mike for his assistance and hospitality :thumbup:

Thoroughly cleaned the Winter 16" Audi A6 alloys

Used AG Wheel cleaner and IronX

Applied a coat of Bilt Hamber Auto Balm (Sealer) inside and out, followed by a coat of Collinite 917

Dressed tyres with AG Tyre Shine..Checked pressures..still bang on..Not bad for 30 months since they were fitted

This will be the third winter Ive used them and they still have 6mm of tread on the fronts and 7mm on the rear!!

Will be fitting them in November

Had a WTF moment whilst changing the brake fluid and found oil all over the back of the engine. I thought something had gone hideously wrong but found the rocker cover wasn't bolted down properly, hopefully a quick fix. I must have not tightened all the bolt correctly when I changed the cambelt.

Dropped it off at the Stealers, the Air Cons making a funny noise, think it's low on Gas/presure

Taking car to stealers with aircon issues is like putting money down the drain, figuratively speaking. Chances are they'll get someone else to do it and take their cut. Best bet is usually somewhere that specialises with aircon.

Had the Sport serviced, all fluids filters, brake pads. took Kelly 4hrs in all. he is very meticulous and allows me to watch all the time whilst explaining what he is doing. For a very resonable £325. Kelly must have used 12pairs of disposable gloves and 15 micro fibre cloths to keep car and tools clean.

Have a look at his work.
