Hello - I'm the owner of a 2002 Octavia 1.9 SDi estate that I've had since new and it's frankly the best car I've owned either before or since. Now semi retired I'm keen to take on as much maintenance myself as possible to avoid the dubious practices and vastly inflated charges at most garages. So I'm hoping to pick up some useful tips and pass on any I discover myself to other members.

Had An Argument With A Friends Gate Post...

..and lost! I was reversing out of their drive last night and never saw the small gate post, tried to turn, heard a bang and then, well, you can see from the pics. So mad at myself but left it until this morning to have another look at it. Pics 1 & 2 were mostly on the skirt and that has all come off with just washing it down with a sponge. However, Pic 3 shows where I hit the post whilst turning. Most of it has come off (Pic 4 & 5) but there is a slight dent and plastic bit in the whee

A/C actuating switch

Last year I had my 2013 Mk. 2 Fabia air conditioning (A/C) serviced by WeChillAnyCar - I had used them before on a different car. They extracted the gas, refilled it, (allegedly) tested that everything worked and I paid them for the work.. I didn't think to test it until a few weeks later when I discovered that it didn't work at all. After numerous 'phone calls and emails I accepted that they weren't going to admit that they hadn't actually tested it. I gave up and took the car to an authorised

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. Paintwork is far from pristine, but that's not something I care much about. I'd looked up the spec via the reg plate before seeing pics of the car, so there were one or t

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles

Binx1310 · 22 May22 May

I bought a sportline flat bottom steering wheel but it was the heated version with the view button. I knew the airbag would have a bit of a gap but I didn’t like how it looked or felt overall. So I now have that for sale if anyone is interested. I am on the hunt for a round leather steering wheel. Version with phone button not view button, but with the DSG paddles. If anyone can point me in the direction of the correct part number or even if you have one for sale please let me know!
