Which gearbox oil?

Followers

25 September, 201411 yr

I've decided to change the oil in the gearbox of my 2.0PD 4x4. ( not Haldex clutch) Are there any good oils recommended for this or should I stick with VAG oil?

25 September, 201411 yr

had mine done a while back, general consensus is to use genuine VAG stuff,not cheap thou!

As above use vag stuff is the best advise

++ on the VAG recommendation.

Some internals, eg the cages which hold the ball bearings may be susceptable to certain additives. Get it wrong and you can have a pile of scrap

Try using TPS as this may cost less than a main dealer.

Scout Aftermarket Suspension

fr1nklyn · 8 August, 20232 yr

I've done some research on the higher and stiffer shock absorbers and coil springs which Skoda offers on Scout models and found their aftermarket analogues: * Front Shocks: Bilstein B4 #22-274182 * Front Springs: ??? * Rear Shocks: Bilstein B4 #19-274195 * Rear Springs: SACHS 992 103 (analogue of OEM #5Q0511115AM) My queries are: 1/ What are the higher and stiffer front springs OEM numbers? 2/ Are there good aftermarket alternatives for the same? 3/ Is there better rear

2020 Kamiq with ACC - opinions?

Maxr · 4 December, 20241 yr

I'm looking at a 2020 Kamiq SEL as a second car, which has the fairly rare 'adaptive' cruise control (not 'predictive adaptive'). I've had mixed experiences with ACC on two Citroens. My recent C5 has it, and it works great and very smoothly so long as you remember that all it really does is keep you on station with the car in front and stop you running into it. Before that had an older Berlingo. That had ACC that it worked, but that system braked fairly hard and later than I'd have liked, then a

Looking for EA888.4+DQ381 Tune Feedback

TagEldinAhmed · Tuesday at 15:202 days

Hello all, I'm looking for some feedback from those of you who have their EA888.4 ECU and DQ381 TCU tuned. Ideally, from those with the 245 version, although I'll still happily hear out those with similar EA888.3 245/280 models. I'm currently in between two possible solutions: a comprehensive RacingLine OEM+ Stage 1 ECU/TCU tune, versus a combinations of Revo Stage 1 (ECU) and TVS Stage 2+ (TCU). In both scenarios, I'll be aiming for a 95RON, low-torque file, since I'm not only limited by the

Tool kit foam insert

Tool kit foam insert

ironduke87 · Monday at 20:383 days

Bit of a long shot here. I have very recently bought a 66 plate Superb estate, which came with a steel 16" spare in the boot. It also came with the foam insert and tool kit for the 18" wheel, which obviously doesn't work. Does anyone have the foam insert from an old 16" sat around that they would be prepared to sell? The garage I bought from were not the most helpful, and I don't think that is likely to change any time soon. Cheers in advance.

Reversing camera display change after update.

NormanE · 3 hours ago3 hr

Whilst in France last week my car received an infotainment update, The car is a 2024 Octavia Vrs diesel hatchback, with a reversing camera retrofitted by East Yorkshire Retrofit. After the update two odd things happened. Firstly the reversing camera did not work at all the first time I reversed the car after the update. Then it worked, but instead of the full screen showing the camera view, it is now two thirds camera view and one third a top-down outline of the car with curved lines showing the
