Tdi downpipe removal/refitting

Followers

12 June, 201412 yr

Hi, picking up my tdi octavia tomorrow. (90bhp I believe)

The exhaust has snapped just after the cat. Luckily a friend of mine has a new welder.

now taking the cat and exhaust off will be the easiest way to weld it.

I've looked at cats/downpipes on ebay and they seem to be one piece :(, I'm just worried about the studs on the turbo housing snapping. It happened before on my golf 1.8t. and presume the heat makes them stuck in or brittle.

Has anyone removed the downpipe before, any advice so as not to snap or round the studs?

Skoda Scala slave cylinder locaton for 1.0 model

rivergo1d · 17 hours ago17 hr

Is the skoda scala slave cylinder concentric and located inside the gearbox for all models, or is it just the 1.5 engine which doesn't have it on the outside of hte gearbox? I'm seeing different reports about whether the gearbox needs to be removed to check or replace it on a 1.0 litre engine.

Recirculating Button not working

tombee · 11 May11 May

Have come to use the A/C for the first time this past week and noticed that pressing the button for the recirculating air doesn’t appear to work. Button presses but nothing happens it doesn’t light up and stays off Also through the media center doesn’t do anything, wondering if anyone has come across this before? Or is it a trip to Skoda?

Electronic Gremlins - are we just unlucky?

Liteboy · 14 May14 May

We bought our Scala Monte Carlo Edition 1.5 tsi back in December and from late January it has had both mechanical problems and electronic gremlins. The mechanical problem have mostly been sorted, new rear discs and pads that were making noises like a wheel bearing was rumbling, the gearbox has had a software update and a reset (it's still not perfect). And the road noise is just the high dB tyres and lack of sound insulation. The electronic gremlins were put down to a failing 12v battery which

Correct Spark Plugs?

Correct Spark Plugs?

nbramwel · 21 hours ago21 hr

I have a 2022 Karoq 110PS which will need the spark plugs changing soon. I have looked at a couple of on line retailers but they quote different thread lengths for their plugs against my registration. These are 20.5mm, 26.5mm and 28mm. I don't want to fit the wrong plugs so am asking advice on which is the correct plug length for my car? I believe NGK plugs will have been fitted by Skoda originally so will be looking to stay with NGK if I can. Many thanks.
