Gas bonnet struts

Followers

21 January, 20206 yr

Have just fitted some bonnet struts bought off Ali Express for £16.89 delivered in 10 days from China and no further taxes etc easy to fit but had to modify the brackets slightly as the drilled holes in the brackets needed to be elongated to fit correctly and the brackets need a small piece of packing underneath to sit neatly against the bonnet skin.

Makes the bonnet virtually self opening with ease.

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · yesterday at 22:021 day

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

Goodbye to my Octavia MK3

paulski · 3 hours ago3 hr

Been here a little under 7 years. Great forum, I'm sure I'll hang around still but I've moved my octy on now for a VW Tiguan. The Octavia was a cracking car, reliable too. I took it from 47k to 120k miles, and it really didn't disappoint. The only issue it had was the heater matrix, which I had replaced eventually after freezing hands in winter!! It will pass to a new owner with full service history (Independent Vasstechnik in Eastbourne who are just great with all VW group cars). I've left

Engine temperature sensor refitting on Fabia Mk1 1.4 MPI Classic

RiderOnTheWheel · 5 hours ago5 hr

Hello I have completely drained the cooling system to replace the coolant in my 1.4 MPI. To refill my Haynes manual says to remove the temperature sensor from the cylinder head to allow air to escape. I pulled out the clip and then lifted out the sensor which came out by pulling. I then filled the system until coolant was seen in the sensor hole. I then the replaced the sensor but noticed coolant leaking from it. On inspection noticed that the sensor was able to move up and down with the clip in
