Hello!

Im Dan, Newbie skoda owner from Newcastle

I currently drive a 2018 Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 (230bhp?)

I've owned the car just over a year now and it is a beaut!

i wanted something which was practical with some 'umph' and this was it! (First choice was VW GTI but they wanted far to much money!)

Its currently on a 3yr PCP so i'm unsure whether i can actually do anything to it 😞

Anyways, thats about it! So Hello and thanks for having me

TL:DR - hi! superb 280: wet skiddy without quality back tyres? Hello everybody, New to the forum and owning a skoda. I've got a 2019 superb sportline 280 hatch. Are they known to get a bit unsettled at the back end in the wet? With the job I do I've driven both manual and dsg Haldex skodas (octavias and kodiaq), quite hard, and never experienced this. Granted the work cars are all diesel with Michelin crossclimates. I've had the car 2-3 months now and there's a bit of stuff in the boot. K

Intermittent power steering failure + ABS light linked to 12V socket?

Intermittent power steering failure + ABS light linked to 12V socket?

Mk1FabiaUser123 · 9 May9 May

Hi there, Just a question about an issue I've had on my mk1 Fabia 1.2 HTP with electric hydraulic power steering. The power steering was going intermittently so I replaced the pump with a used one which fixed the issue. However, the other day I was turning at low speed whilst my sat nav was powered from the 12v socket ("cigarette lighter") and the power steering just totally died, steering warning light came on and no steering assist whatsoever. I unplugged the charger from the 12v socket and

Fabia Scout Specific Parts

Dazstap · 51 minutes ago51 min

Hello all, I am looking for advice from the hive mind please. We have a 2012 Fabia Scout and it needs new shocks, maybe rear springs too. Most places list these items, but they are the standard Fabia items, and I believe that the Scout has a slightly different spec suspension. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the correct items please? Many thanks in advance for advice received. Darren

2023 Fabia issues (heater fan resistors, fuel flap, reverse light, brake light)

briscaF1 · yesterday at 15:221 day

Hi, Partner acquired this 2023 1.0 Fabia last year. So far, the resistor pack for the fan has packed (!) up and the actuator for the fuel flap needed replacing. These were done under warranty. She's had the car back from its MOT and warranty work and now there's a light on the dash saying "check brake lights." The light on the nearside is out and there's only one reversing light, on the offside. Are the rear lights all LED? No bulb I can change? If it is a bulb, how do I get to it? Are th

Door Umbrella

Johngerard · 1 hour ago1 hr

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde
