Fan Thermostat Leak

Followers

21 August, 20205 yr

I have a slight coolant weep from where the thermostat screws into the radiator.

I'm wondering if I could try to nip it up a quarter of a turn or so, without risk of damage to anything.

Thanks.

Yes you should. 35Nm is recommended I seem to remember.

Easy fix except for the access.

Upgrading Infotainment System To Get Android Auto

Deano2004 · 12 January, 20242 yr

Hi All, I have recently inherited a 2015 Skoda Fabia from my late Grandad, at current it has the Bolero (I think) 5Q0035820. I have been told in order to get Android Auto I should upgrade this to the 5Q0035842. To do this is the only thing I need to change the box behind the glovebox or do I need to change the screen as well. Additionally I have found a listing for a 5Q0035842B from a Skoda Octavia, am I correct in thinking this will work in my Fabia.

Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco

Seat ventilation?

Seat ventilation?

Zapan · Saturday at 08:551 day

Good morning everyone, I need your help resolving an issue I can't seem to resolve, even with the help of Skoda customer service. I purchased a Superb Style, registered in Italy in 11/2024 (steering wheel with Skoda logo, not lettering), with the Lounge Design setup (the seats are electric except for the forward movement which is manual and does not have position memories). According to the specifications, the seat ventilation should be included, but there's no way to activate it, not even throu
