Followers

29 December, 201510 yr

Have fabia 1.9 tdi 06. Cooling fan kicks in of its own accord. Intermittent problem. Happened about 2 months ago then ok until yesterday when it happened again and drained battery completey. Local garage could not diagnose initially. Any help/advice much appreciated.

Won't be the fan itself, possibly wiring to the fan or, more likely, the sender unit that tells it to switch on - CTS?

How to improve steering feel

CRB123 · 21 October, 20223 yr

Hi folks, I'm finding the steering feel of the Superb somewhat lifeless, vague and far too light. Looking for your help to see what I can do to improve it Having owned 3 other VAG's (2 x Golf R's and 1 x Golf Alltrack) I'm used to the lack of steering feedback however, the Superb is the worst so far. Drove my wife's Alltrack the other day and it was more direct than the Superb. Current handling mods are just Eibach lowering springs at the moment, and good tyr

2023 vrs towbar

DaveSned · 20 February20 Feb

Very confused and apologies if covered elsewhere but can't find it... looking to get a towbar fitted for caravan towing and an independent towbar company is warning about coding and about the rear emergency braking kicking in and not letting me reverse with the caravan in place. Another has said they can fit a towbar but I'd need to take it to a dealer to get it coded. I've contacted my local skoda dealer and they've quoted £1900 for a towbar to be fitted!! I think that when in reverse I can d

Alarm Wouldn't Shut Off

Sidknee353 · 29 November, 20214 yr

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster. So my car this evening decided that it would sound the alarm...again....but this time no amount of pressing on the key fob, and the other spare fob, starting and stopping the engine etc...would make it shut up. My plan after a few minutes was to drive the car to the nearest trading estate to try and work out what is going on, and yes the alarm was still going off whilst I was driving the car!! A new one for me this is. This happened after

Desperately need a right roof rail front cover for a Octavia Mk1 Estate

stokey · Friday at 16:094 days

Hi for the last year I have been driving an immaculate one owner 2003 Elegance 110bhp Estate with less than 39000 miles and a full service history. Last week my wife borrowed it for a cross country trip for the first time and came back singing its praises. Unfortunately she also came back minus the front end cap ( I think it’s called the front shell ) for the Right Side Roof rail. I’ve been searching for hours for one online without any luck. I don’t suppose anyone is breaking a mk1 Estate? If n

Problem with KESSY key after battery replacement

langolier · 30 July, 20241 yr

Good day, I use a Skoda Karoq 2023, I have 2 keys with the KESSY system. The main key I use showed symptoms of a dead battery: a problem with opening the car doors and trunk. I replaced the battery in the key exactly according to the car's user manual available on the website, i.e. by performing a "reset" (pressing any button on the remote control between removing the used battery and installing a new one). Of course, I used a new battery of the same type that was factory-installed in the
