An odd bit of bodywork

Followers

8 August, 201312 yr

On Golfs,Rapids etc there is a sort of squared off bit of bodywork--low down at the front. It is the first thing that gets whacked into a high kerb in a car park. Is that what it is for? Or is it something to do with airflow?

Or does it help the car balance if you stack them on end to save space?

Or is it just "styling"

Anyone know please. Just very curious.

Mobility cars. Are they worth it

mobo · 15 September, 20187 yr

I currently got a 2008 octavia vrs but I've become a bit disabled over the years need my hip replaced ect Now I need an automatic and I can get a car on the mobility scheme. Has anyone got experience with this. I like the look of the new leons and noticed you can get them and they cover the insurance and everything. but would i be better off getting a used one and putting the money towards that instead

Škoda Peaq - Pre-Orders

Dean · 13 hours ago13 hr

With UK pricing now confirmed, the new Škoda Peaq is shaping up to be one of the most interesting seven-seat EVs to hit the market. Starting from around £52,000, offering up to 395 miles of WLTP range, fast charging, a premium interior and genuine seven-seat practicality, it looks like Škoda has packed a lot into its new flagship. The big question is... Would you order one? If yes: Which trim would you go for? Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? What colour would you choose? It certainly

A/C Stops Cooling at Highway Speeds – Skoda Octavia 2016 1.2 TSI

Yrn11 · 27 May, 20251 yr

Hi everyone, I have a 2016 Skoda Octavia 1.2 TSI with Climatronic, and I'm encountering a frustrating A/C issue. Problem: After driving at highway speeds (90 km/h or higher) for a prolonged time, the A/C stops cooling. The air coming from the vents is the same flow volume but no longer cold, although the system appears to still be "on." However, when I drive in city traffic or idle in a traffic jam, the A/C works perfectly and cools the cabin as expected. What I’ve Checked: No fault codes in the

Windscreen washers not working in both front and end

ebay · 9 hours ago9 hr

Hi Folks, Both the front and rear window washers on my MK3 Fabia not working but window wipers do operate. Google it and go through the last posts but no clue. 1) No pump sound 2) My friend help to test the fuses no. 22, 27, 31 and 46, are all fine 3) At pump, the voltage around 11.x V but it will dropped to around 0.5v when turn on the wipers 4) The washer reservoir is full 5) The car battery replaced last summer with normal 12.6V Any idea please, Many thanks in advance

Apologies of this is the wrong place to ask... please feel free to send me in the direction of anywhere more appropriate.. My '72 plate Mk IV is just coming up to 80k miles. I can't find a service schedule for the car, but hear rumours of a 40k DSG oil change... Can anyone point me in the direction of service schedules, please? And, as a follow up, my local dealer doesn't seem to have a briliant reputation, and to be honest I'm half inclined to look for an independent anyway; where's the be
