Hi all, new member here. Retired and loving it. Living in UK and Turkey, just bought a GLXI Octavia 1.6 petrol as a second car, loving the reliability write ups on the model. This will be taken to Turkey and registered there, Looking forward to trolling the site and learning about the model. I have 50 years of car repair to call on and will help members if I can. See you along the way. Brad

Outback going, what next?

Aspman · Monday at 11:235 days

After dropping a wodge on the Outback for a new battery only for the tailgate issues to immediately recur and funnily enough for a internet search to suddenly (wasn't before) flag that there is a persistent and long standing Subaru issue with a parasitic battery drain via the telematics module. Basically the car continually tries to phone home and drains the battery, the tailgate control module is acutely sensitive to voltage meaning that if the car has sat for more than a day (sometime less) th

First time starting a project thread, bear with me... Heard about this Roomster not too far from me that might be heading for a scrapyard, and decided to try to acquire it. That went well and it came to my place this last weekend. Early 2012, 1.2 TSI, 5sp manual, 158k miles on the clock. This is it, just after being washed.
