Block of foam in the wing .. soundproofing?

Block of foam in the wing .. soundproofing?

hubrad · 28 minutes ago28 min

Hi all, while dismantling all the covers yesterday for access to apply Lanoguard, I found this block of foam rubber tucked in behind the wing on the UK passenger side. No sign of such a thing on the driver's side, and it's so firmly held up at the top that I guess you'd have to remove the wing panel to get it fully out.. always a possibility with an 11 yrs old car. Seems like some kind of noise reducing thingy? Anyhoo I sprayed behind it and pushed it back into place before reinstalling the whee

I have a couple of hatchback accessories to give away

I have a couple of hatchback accessories to give away

Tankdave · 12 June12 Jun

One is the reversable boot floor, carpet one side and a sort of plastic the other. Both items are in great condition too Second is a rear sun screen, it's a mesh material in a metal frame that you clip inside the hatch window, it keeps out a ton of heat and you can take it out for winter, you can't see into the car also. My 280 had tinted side windows but the rear glass was not done. Both are huge and would be prohibitively awkward to post. If you want either you WILL need to come to Swindon.

CAN Network Gateway Question.

Dave_Simmo · 14 hours ago14 hr

2022 Skoda Octavia 1.5tsi estate. Following a battery issue, I now have 10 CAN Network Gateway faults, all related to low voltage. The battery has been replaced with a new one but I need to register the new one with the car. I have a Carista EVO reader but it won’t reset the fault codes. Reads them fine but won’t reset them. (I’ve subscribed for a month so that part is fine.) I checked the battery voltage and it was 14.1v so I took the car for a 30 minute drive to see if the car’s computer/sens

Looking for EA888.4+DQ381 Tune Feedback

TagEldinAhmed · Tuesday at 15:201 day

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
