Quick MOT question

7 April, 20179 yr

Morning all

I had my vRS back from a main VAG dealer this week with a list of MOT advisories as long as my arm. I think they were trying to cram every known fault on the list but there was one I had never seen before:

"Front nearside raptor discoloured"

What on earth is a front nearside raptor?!

7 April, 20179 yr

front nearside repeater??? the indicator repeater maybe??

7 April, 20179 yr

Repeater does make sense re - discoloured (lens probably)???

But surely a VAG main dealer can spell repeater!

Atleast it wasn't your pterodactyl, they can be expensive!

Ah, repeater! That would make sense. there was also an advisory for offside indicator showing white light which makes sense, at least.

I was dreading it might be something similar!

My Independent mechanic always services and pre MOT's my Octavia's before submitting them for MOT and recently changed 3 indicator bulbs because they were showing white.

New software available version 1989

MartinOctavia1969 · 18 September, 202518 Sep

I got just the new software version 1989. Curious what's it is gonna bring. Already satisfied with 1985 but i love gadgets and up to date materials. One thing from the beginning with software 1969 til now mine park to pay or pay to park still not working. But i am not using that anyway to prices of parking are ridiculous. So i hope this one is even better then 1985 we will see.

Lane guidance Vs keeping

mcdonalds · 13 June13 Jun

Recent bought a second hand 2025 elroq 85 edition trim (no packages) Trying to get my head round the lane assist feature. Skoda manuals don't explain it particularly well. I thought that it would happily keep my in the motorway lane, as long as my hands were touching the steering wheel..instead it kind of bounces me back and forth between the lines like a pinball before getting angry at me and telling me to drive in the centre of the lane. I thought that was your job, car! Anyway it acts more

Loose bolts on camshaft pulley - Just a heads up

DB72 · 13 November, 20232 yr

Hi.... Just a bit of as heads up.... I got in my Superb 1.4 TSi 2018 (50,000 miles) on Friday night and the engine started making an almighty rattling / clattering / knocking noise. When I took it to a local indy garage the next day they said it sounds exactly like another Skoda they had in the previous week. The one they looked at before wasn't a Superb (can't remember which model they said), but it had done similar relatively low mileage and a bolt was loose at the camshaft p

Constant creaking / rattling from the doors of my Kodiaq Mk2

BudgieUK · 12 August, 202512 Aug

Since I had the car, every time I drove it, it has had what my wife called a rattling from the doors. I always characterised it as a creak. As the car is otherwise so quiet (especially when on battery at slow speed) it was quite noticable. After trying to narrow it down, I found a video on YouTube that described the issue exactly (but on a Lexus) - https://youtu.be/BoYCCckQdQs?si=Q549W00RwkRYLK9o The guy in the video recommended applying a product to each of the door seals and claimed it pretty

Electric passenger window stuck at bottom

LesCM19 · 11 hours ago11 hr

We were lowering the passenger front window which went all the way to the bottom, accompanied by a horrible clattering. That was it stuck down, any attempts to raise it just produced the rattling. Luckily it was in the middle of a heatwave. Took the door card off and motor but can only lift the window up 2" to try to get to the clamps. There's a cable with a nipple visible loose inside the door by the locking button which is draped over a pulley (see photo, sorry about the socks). Any suggesti
