There's some very clever people within Briskoda

I have just carried out the 2 minute climate on/off mod as described in www.Octavia-Vrs.com. A clever but simple task.

But........Who thought of doing it in the first place and why ?. Is there any other simple tasks I could undertake that I don't know about.

I think this mod came about because the VW climate control was identical to the Skoda one but had an On/Off switch instead of the blank panel on the Skoda. So someone wondered if it could be made to work on the Skoda.

Wobbly exhaust?
Skoda Fabia Mk2 (2007-2014)

Wobbly exhaust?

GrahamM · Saturday at 18:432 days

Unrelated (hopefully!) to my faulty light problem, in the past few days I think the tone of my exhaust has changed and it sounds deeper. Whilst I was fiddling around with the lights, I gave the exhaust a push and noticed that it was swinging from side to side. Is it supposed to do this?! If not, what might the problem be?

Rns 510 Columbus 5238 firmware

Norbiva · 8 June8 Jun

Hello everyone, I have an older 2009 RNS 510 Columbus head unit. The software on it is very outdated, and I would like to update it to the European Josi Modified 5238 version. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a working download link anywhere. Does anyone happen to have the software and could upload it somewhere? Or perhaps someone knows of a working download link? Thank you very much for any help.

Coolant pump belt change

Flyinghigh · 8 June8 Jun

My 1.8tsi Octavia scout coolant pump was leaking via the impeller. I'd like to change the small belt (not the big timing belt!) that spins the impeller as well as the pump etc but the left handed bolt is stuck. I've not tried too much force as the captive gear it holds moves when I try and I'm concerned that I might break something internally. Would anybody have any experience removing this bolt or known methods of doing so? The photo shows the gear and the bolt I'm refering to is holding this g

Rear View Camera....again!

Berisford · 13 April, 20197 yr

Noticed today that my rear view camera is seeing more than it used to, that is, I can now see some of the number plate and body work top and bottom. I'm sure it used to be just a nice clear picture of the rear without anything extra? Am I mistaken, does everyone see the number plate and bodywork?

2015 VRS TDI - Coolant loss from expansion tank

Sharpy64 · 15 hours ago15 hr

Hi All, I know this is a topic that seems to have been covered a million times but my vRS has become a problem child. It was losing a small amount of coolant and I would get the odd whisp of steam from the back, I diagnosed a leaking EGR Cooler (confirmed with off car pressure test) and a small water pump leak. I replaced both and thought my work here was done. However it now seems to have made losses worse, this time from the reservoir, so yesterday I did a 90 min motorway drive and by the t
