What did you do to your Skoda today?

[ChrisRs]

Depends what you replaced it with

I have a 1.6 tdi A3 for another week, it is uncomfortable and slow, next week I will have a 120D BMW M sport pack thingy, this will be mine for 12 months'ish then I can choose again, not liking the looks of the FL Yeti though so who knows what will be next, in the mean time I have to steal the wives Fabia for a fix. lol

I put all the boot-trim back in place and cleaned out all the rubbish that the eldest had left in there.

Swapped my Ibiza FR leather interior for sharkrider's cloth vRS seats  

 

Thanks to Dave, Gilly, Wibble and Pete for their assistance and hospitality

Spent the best part of 5 hours yesterday drilling, grinding and hammering the **** out of my front two locking wheel nuts.

 

the outcome = drivers side is off and changed, the passenger side is yet to give up and I have a feeling it's gonna need drilling out.

 

So what do we take from this lesson? Don't take your car to a back street garage whilst on a trip away and let the work experience lad windy gun your locking nuts up!!!!!

[tmwarner]

Filled it up with diesel, exciting I know.

Took it over to ChrisRs to get some paint correction done and a full polish & seal. It's recently been in for warranty work on zinc blisters on the drivers door, but it looked like their idea of a final polish was a rub down with wet & dry. The phone pics don't really show it as bad as it was, but we got a before & after comparison:

 

 

 

It looked a bit like scuffed orange peel. All sorted now :sun:

Quick jetwash and a tyre shine

Shock, Horror, but I washed and polished it!

[trundlenut]

Heard a funny noise whilst driving, pulled over to find a very hot disc. Looks like the handbrake isn't releasing. First curry, then time to break out the tools.

Right, ate curry, then had to have a sit down due to the amount of curry I ate. Had a look at the car once I could bend over and the handbrake cable appears to be the issue. The calliper seems to be operating correctly and on a test drive after making sure the cable released everything was fine. The cable seems to stick some times, for now I have removed the ashtray at the back of the jumbo box so I can feel if it has released fully. I think I will price up a pair of new cables tomorrow. Doesn't too hard to change as long as I don't have to remove all of the interior.

[Dale Dunbar]

2x rear calipers. Front ARB bushes and drop links. Oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, (k&n) wheels, tyres, Koni FSD's, drivers seat, discs and pads all round. That is what I have done over the last two months. Some day, you know, you just plain old hate your car.

[SNH]

Polished it

[hardcorehobbit]

Polished it

Looks well smart that.

However, you sir, are in need of a badge on the back! New style Skoda would set that right off.

What I did today.... check my PAS fluid. Realise it is low. So low the dipstick barely registered. Oops. Local specialist down the road topped it up with green for £2.

However, the recess is being smoothed out and the tailgate painted

[MattHunt]

Actually cleaned it myself, cleaned the wheels, checked the tyre pressures, put £40 of diesel in and asked a passing policewoman at the filling station what her view of the front nearside was.

 

Answer: Legal but iffy on a motorway so that might be another £140 for two new tyres....

 

Properly cleaned the winters, built the tyre tree and stored.

 

Tomorrow....vacum the inside and shock! Drive her .

[Gizmo]

Took it in for a service (well ok SWMBO took it in) then put an order in for a new L&K Yeti from another dealer.

[Sippo]

Cleaned, and waxed. I also used sonax wheel cleaner as well as the detailer for the first time after all the recommendations on here.

It better be good! I used the sonax on the windows as well - is that advisable?

[Outofthi5world]

Took it to the shop, put some bags of food in it, turned round and came home. Then took it to the pizza shop, put a box of food in it, turned round and came home.
