Hello everyone.

Hope you dont mind me being here but as I have just bought a brand new Ibiza FR 130 (TDi), and it is so similar to the Fabia VRs, that I thought I should join you.

Browsed the site for a bit and I think its great (with great people) and I look forward to talking to some of you.

I went for the Ibiza over the Fabia Vrs as I test drove them both on the same day and the Ibiza just had that extra something. Nothing against the Fabia as I would have one in a heart beat but I just found it was lots of little things that made me want the Ibiza. Hope I dont offend with that comment??

I went for the 3 door by the way. 12 week wait for the 5 door.

Door Umbrella

Johngerard · 4 minutes ago4 min

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde

TL:DR - hi! superb 280: wet skiddy without quality back tyres? Hello everybody, New to the forum and owning a skoda. I've got a 2019 superb sportline 280 hatch. Are they known to get a bit unsettled at the back end in the wet? With the job I do I've driven both manual and dsg Haldex skodas (octavias and kodiaq), quite hard, and never experienced this. Granted the work cars are all diesel with Michelin crossclimates. I've had the car 2-3 months now and there's a bit of stuff in the boot. K

2014 Octavia VRS diesel cam belt replacement

knab · 19 hours ago19 hr

Have any members carried out a cam belt replacement on a diesel mk3 Octavia VRS themselves? If so, how difficult would it be for a driveway DIY'er to do and what advice could you provide. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Skoda Karoq

Speaker change ??

Atenza · 1 hour ago1 hr

HI Got a new 2025 Karoq Sportline and I'm really disappointed with the speakers, sounds terrible. Had an Octavia from 2014 and that sounded better and that was not good. So my question, if I change the speakers I will need to take off the door covers and all buttons and lights, do I need to disconnect the battery and can I disconnect the battery without a lot flashing lights when connecting it back. Do I need an OBDII to turn off flashing lights or is there a manual way to do so ? Thanks.

2023 Fabia issues (heater fan resistors, fuel flap, reverse light, brake light)

briscaF1 · 23 hours ago23 hr

Hi, Partner acquired this 2023 1.0 Fabia last year. So far, the resistor pack for the fan has packed (!) up and the actuator for the fuel flap needed replacing. These were done under warranty. She's had the car back from its MOT and warranty work and now there's a light on the dash saying "check brake lights." The light on the nearside is out and there's only one reversing light, on the offside. Are the rear lights all LED? No bulb I can change? If it is a bulb, how do I get to it? Are th
