Hello all,

Thought I had better introduce myself, I have been viewing the forum for around 6 months to get some ideas about which car to buy.

Well I have finally done it. Last week I traded in my BMW 5 series touring for a 2012 Octavia vRS estate. I'm bloody loving it.

I'm so glad I went for the petrol version, the acceleration is instant and with the DSG box its perfect.

I'm sure I'll be back to ask some questions soon....

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · Friday at 23:165 days

Hi all, finally got around to getting some new shoes ordered for the girl. I'm getting a set of Hankook Ventus Evo K137 235/45 ZR18 98Y XL put onto the Pegasus alloys. I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature? I was looking on autodoc to try and order some nuts as I didn't know how often they

2013 Fabia 1.6 Diesel TDI - I can't find my oil filter or oil pressure switch to replace them!

2013 Fabia 1.6 Diesel TDI - I can't find my oil filter or oil pressure switch to replace them!

What it says on the tin, really; recently my oil warning light came on, flashed a few times, made a really loud intermittent beeping sound, and then turned off again. This happened several times during a journey, but actually stopped after a little while. I checked the oil level, and its fine, so I reckon it's an issue with the oil pressure sensor/switch (I did get an OBD tool, but that came up as no error codes, so I'm really in the dark here). I have a new filter (while I'm down there, I may a

Hi folks! I was directed to this forum by a friend who has also been here for a while, it came highly recommended and I'm delighted to see the old forums do still exist on the internet. I've owned my 2013 Fabia since 2021, and I've decided that it really is about time I started learning how to do some of the basic upkeep myself - so expect to see a lot of me here as I encounter things that will almost certainly be incredibly easy for most of you! Thanks for reading and I'll see you around!

Correct front springs for 1.6tdi 12 plate estate.
Skoda Octavia Mk2 (2004 - 2013)

Correct front springs for 1.6tdi 12 plate estate.

Alasdair1 · 15 hours ago15 hr

Hi wonder if anyone on here can confirm I have the right part number for front springs. PR code in boot is 2UA/L07 and from LLLparts diagrams I get 1K0411105AQ. No paint marks on broken one plus looks like 1x pink,1xorange,1xblue on good one. LLL parts say also marked with 1 x grey and 4x blue which I don't have unless they mean pink,orange,blue or grey blue blue blue blue? Again seems to be quite a few to choose from. Any help welcome Alasdair
