Hi,

Just found this forum after 4 years of Skoda ownership - first an Octavia 1.4TSi (estate, DSG), currently a Yeti 2.0TDi (4x4, DSG).

I write software for dual-clutch transmissions (mostly for the Chinese market), which is why I bought two consecutive DSGs. But I wouldn't swap back to a manual now anyway.

Just bought a caravan (picking it up at the end of April), so I'm going to be looking for advice relating to towing & manoevering.

Cheers chaps & chapesses!

...just realised my FB profile pic is here too, so I'd best explain: I'm a Morris dancer, which also accounts for why I bought a caravan - it's too cold at folk festivals in September under canvass...

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

justas1982 · 2 minutes ago2 min

I was never happy with the performance of the original brakes. The braking efficiency felt poor, and in wet weather the discs would quickly develop surface rust. When braking in damp or rainy conditions, the noise made it sound like I was driving an old car with worn-out brakes. After 50,000 km, I decided to replace the brakes. I installed Zimmermann discs and pads on the front axle. Braking performance didn't improve noticeably, but the annoying noise in wet weather is finally gone. Now I only

Octavia Scout Mk3 Rear Suspension

wallacebob · 25 January, 20215 yr

I have always thought my rear suspension a little soft when towing or even with a full tank. I fitted rubber assisters and this has helped hugely but I would like a little more permanent solution. How can I tell if springs such as these - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lesjofors/9735347 are heavier duty? It does say for towing. Would fitting new shocks (Bilstein B6?) help as well? I suppose crawling under to see what shocks I have, and what springs I have may a good idea anyway? I think the

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · 12 June12 Jun

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

I'm after the "MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526" firmware. mibsolution.one has been down for who knows how long and I've just discovered I can update firmware myself. Current version is from 2017 - MHI2_ER_SKG13_P3643 - keen to see what the difference is.
