Probably a stupid question, but what the hell is the thing circled in the pic?

Excellent. Thanks guys.

I assume it is supposed to vibrate when the engine is at idle?

22 August, 201510 yr

As does the engine.

Indeed. But this is quite noticeable, it visibly moves from side to side. Just wondered if that amount of movement was normal.

Pete's Rescue Roomster

Breezy_Pete · 27 March, 20251 yr

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

End of the road?

Vijay2018 · Monday at 12:352 days

Hey guys, Sadly it's looking like my Octavia days which have been pretty brilliant could be at an end, unless I can find a replacement engine. Looking like a blown head gasket/cracked/warped head so it's not driveable now and boiling away (95C+ even without the thermostat in). It's also had a burning engine oil issue for years. It's a 110 ASV engine. So my options are: Say goodbye to my brilliant Octavia ☹️ Try and find a replacement engine, throw it in and hope. Downsides are obviously the

Using non shroud water pump on tdi engine - Anyone done this?

knab · Sunday at 07:083 days

Has anyone fitted a no shroud water pump to the tdi engine? If so, what was the part number of the pump you used? How did you go about stopping fault codes / engine lights and what did you do with the redundant electrical connector?

Full Matrix Led headlights on motorway

Rafal78 · 23 January, 20242 yr

Ok, Matrix Leds are fantastic. When driving on A or B class roads they working perfect, illuminates both sides of the road and cuts out cars at the front or oncoming traffic. I've never been flashed. When I tried to use them on motorway it's a different story. Right headlamp is illuminating as expected but left one doesn't illuminate side of the road but only gives a lot of light far at the front of the car.. I recently followed Audi Q7 with matrix leds and his headlights gave massiv
