Evening all

I have a 2001 Skoda Fabia Comfort from a nice man who does up MOT failures. It came with just one elderly looking key fob and absolutely no handbooks. The battery has gone in the fob after just a week. Pet engineer/Polish nephew advised me to call RAC in the morning to get a battery replaced.

I'd really like a new key and fob so that I can keep what I have as a spare. How do I go about it?

Any ideas? I'm an elderly widowed "auntie"with some understanding, and a fair amount of common sense but no modern knowledge of cars from this century. Previous Skoda (Favorit) was 1994.

Welcome to Briskoda, might be a idea to post your query in the Fabia 1 section.

Octavia 2013 Tdi estate. Can't get gear shift into reverse.

JHowe · Saturday at 17:522 days

Hi! I'm in need of some help please. My Octavia estate sat for 8 months unused. The battery went flat (AGM Varta) and doesn't charge. I got the car started with a different battery and then swapped in the dead battery to see if it would start charging. BUT, now the engine was running I needed to move the car a bit and found that the gear stick won't go into reverse gear. It can select 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th but not reverse. I've ordered up a new AGM battery (due in a couple of days) but this reverse

2.0l TSI engines: what should I be looking out for AWD vehicles approaching 100k?

Sinbad1900 · 31 May31 May

Hoping to purchase a 2.0l TSi Sportline/Laurin & Klement variant at some point soon. My budget may result in me seeking out a vehicle with 95K onwards on the clock. I’ll be only considering something with a full comprehensive service history. My understanding is that I shouldn’t worry about cam chain tensioners as they go on and on. But do they? So is there anything I should really looking out for? Thanks

Hello everyone, we have 7 seater Kodiaq from 2019. Does anybody know if it is possible to fit a tow bar in this car ? Also, I bought all in service some time ago - would fitting the tow bar violate the service ? Thanks

Skoda Kodiak 4 and 2 wheel drive difference in specs?

Jim Reire · 25 May25 May

Hi all, Skoda Kodiak 4x4 AWD, and Skoda Kodiak front wheel drive....what codes or description spec's etc. differentiate between them ? My problem is that while my newest purchase of a 2020 Skoda Kodiak , 150 HP and Front wheel drive, is a delight in every way, my car insurance has gone through the roof, and when I queried it, I was informed that one of then reasons for the increase (more than.€200) is that its a 4x4 AWD. The problem is, there is only front wheel drive, and the rear wheels are f
