Ignition Barrell - Seized

Followers

11 January, 201610 yr

Hi Ive got a 65 plate Fabia 1.2 tsi

Have just had the car recovered back to the dealership due to not being able to put the key in the ignition barrell.

The car went back last week to the Dealership as I was unable to lock/unlock the car, the ignition barrell needs replacing however they dont have a date for when the part will be in.

The cap on the handle was removed so I was able to lock/unlock the car, bit of a pain considering the car is only 3mths old. Now today when I went to use the car I was unable to insert the key arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, just waiting on a hire car as I have no idea how long this will take to get fixed.

Has anyone else had this issue on a new car?

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

MiB 3 from 0270 to 0330

wkexe · 13 May, 20242 yr

Hi, I own a Skoda Superb 3 – it was manufactured in last months of 2020 and it is 2021 model year. I see that everyone on the forum started the updates from at least 0278 software version and I have (I suspect because of first facelift batch) currently 0270 software and I want to update it to 0330. My device is 3V0035816E, hardware H22 and software 0270, Poland. I’ve found a “path” to 0324 form 0278 (0278 -> 0306 -> 0308 -> 0324) downloaded software for my device version:

Trolley jack and axle stand location

Hey up, If anyone is jacking up their car soon are you able to take pictures of exactly where you put the trolley jack (pictures of the jack and any pucks used would be amazing) And where you put the axle stands. I know i’m asking for a lot but if you can show front and rear locations that would be amazing! Quality pictures as well 😀 Cheers 👍

Can you change front shocks without removing hubs etc? 12 plate 1.6tdi

Alasdair1 · 2 hours ago2 hr

MOT today with a couple of advisory but also yet another broken front spring. Thats seven now in two years on my cars. Sounds a daft question but wondered if anyone has changed front shocks without removing hub. Was wondering if both wheels were off ground with car on axle stands would there be enough play to drop knuckle enough to separate and remove shocks. Alasdair

Outback going, what next?

Aspman · yesterday at 11:231 day

After dropping a wodge on the Outback for a new battery only for the tailgate issues to immediately recur and funnily enough for a internet search to suddenly (wasn't before) flag that there is a persistent and long standing Subaru issue with a parasitic battery drain via the telematics module. Basically the car continually tries to phone home and drains the battery, the tailgate control module is acutely sensitive to voltage meaning that if the car has sat for more than a day (sometime less) th
