Hi guys, hope you're all well.
I've had no car for just under 2 years and my no claims was about to expire and so here I am the proud owner of a 2004 Octavia 1.9 TDI (PD Ambiente?).
Sadly it isn't the stream mp3 head unit so I'm pondering my decision about that, I don't really want to spend money but I do want to be able to listen to podcasts and music with ease.

Now, where's the buyers guide with all the things that I should've looked out for before buying?

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

TimoB · 21 hours ago21 hr

Hi Everyone, I have been investigating how I can replace the decorative trim pieces on the console of the O4 (see attached picture (version I would like). The easy part has been figuring out the general part numbers, however I get stuck on the specifics. I know the O4 has two technical variants; one with stock leds and one with RGB leds, and that there is a multitude of different codes for all the different colours/textures. I would like to either find the haptic (square) silver ones or the pla

2.0l TSI engines: what should I be looking out for AWD vehicles approaching 100k?

Sinbad1900 · 31 May31 May

Hoping to purchase a 2.0l TSi Sportline/Laurin & Klement variant at some point soon. My budget may result in me seeking out a vehicle with 95K onwards on the clock. I’ll be only considering something with a full comprehensive service history. My understanding is that I shouldn’t worry about cam chain tensioners as they go on and on. But do they? So is there anything I should really looking out for? Thanks

Gearbox Emergency Mode

DRW · Thursday at 19:332 days

Last September my Kamiq 1.5 DSG 2020reg (regularly serviced) displayed 'Gearbox in Emergency Mode'. Very near home so able to limp home. Dealer took it in and fixed it under extended warranty. All okay until a month ago when it happened again, this time far from home. Switched off the car, restarted and all back to normal and drove perfectly. Yesterday it happened again and only D2 available. Started car today, no problem, all working, no warning sign. I'll be contacting the dealer again

Looking to remove the spare wheel + raised boot floor, and lower the boot floor - can I do this?

OwenR · 31 minutes ago31 min

Hi folks, I am looking at buying a Yeti which currently has a spare wheel fitted and therefore a raised boot floor - if I wanted the option of the lowering boot floor and taking out the spare wheel, for car camping, I understand that I need to buy a puncture repair kit and the polystyrene tray that it's housed in, plus I'd also need to source the boot floor that would sit on top of the (now empty) wheel well. The existing boot floor that sits on top of the spare wheel is not one of the variable

Fabia Mk2 Vcds Abs

StephFR · 14 April14 Apr

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with my brake pedal (basically going to the floor), and I suspect it might be related to the ABS module. I tried to scan the ABS unit for fault codes using VCDS, but I’m unable to communicate with it: it seems like CAN communication is not available. Is this normal on a Fabia Mk2 (5J), or should I definitely be able to access the ABS module via CAN? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
