Smell of burning oil?

Followers

20 April, 201115 yr

Felicia 1.3 1997 80k miles.

As soon as I start it up I can smell burning oil. Literally within seconds from a cold start. Had a look for oil leaks but can't see anything obvious. No smoke that I can see either. Anyone know what this could possibly be?

Seems like you`ve a split/loose/blocked breather pipe.

Replacing daytime running lights
Skoda Fabia Mk3 (2014-2021)

Replacing daytime running lights

yaggiboom · Monday at 06:175 days

Can anyone please point me in the right place to find out how to change the daytime running lights situated in the headlight housing on my 2016 Fabia estate? I rarely use Briskoda because the search facility for information never returns and content for what I am looking for. So I am asking if anyone can help me. I've searched video hosting sites, and I have found little information pertaining to the 501 Bulbs W5W type. Pleas help. Thanks.

Brake upgrade for 1.5 e-TEC

Honolulu80 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi everyone, I am considering a brake system upgrade from my stock 288mm front brakes either to a Brembo Max/Extra in stock 288 size or a complete upgrade to the 312mm brakes which the bigger engines have. Has somebody already done such an upgrade? Is it worth for normal daily use, occasionally highway?

I was doing a brake service just now, and spotted something that looked out of place. Could have fallen to where it was found from within engine bay, I think. Might be just road debris that's flicked up and lodged there? It's plastic, has a very short screw thread on the back. Last photo shows where it was found just between arch liner and lowest point of red bumper plastic.

Blend door actuator

jbr1972 · 37 minutes ago37 min

Hi, I have a 2016 Rapid which has recently developed a clunking noises when the air circulation button is depressed. I believe this is a fault with the blend door actuator motor. I have managed to remove the glove box but cannot locate the motor. Could someone please advise where this is located so that I can replace or detach the cable so that it avoids clunking on startup. I have attached a photo. Many thanks in advance. Jon

Poor comfort on mk 4.5 VRS Estate seats

Oakers · 1 hour ago1 hr

HI, So 10 months into ownership on a 2025 vrs estate, and I am really struggling with the seat. Feels like a bar across the upper middle of the seat. I have adjusted it ecery way possible but just not comfy. Has anyone got the same issue and were there any remedys? Im either going to replace the seats with a half leather option from an older car or get them re-trimmed somewhow.
