New member, first Skoda, it's a shed 😂

Hey people, I'm new here - but have been browsing for years as I love the old rear-engined Skodas, and have used BRISKODA advice to fix various things on my old Audis!

After my A4 was written off in February I picked up a 203k-mile '06 Octavia 2.0TDI L&K with FSH and a dead turbo. After buying some new axle stands and writhing around underneath the thing for hours it's on the road and demonstrating a multitude of intermittent electrical faults. Hey, I love a project!

Thanks everyone for the great info here!

Welcome mate, I love a proper shed runabout/daily project! Get her tidy and you'll hopefully have a good few years of comfy miles out of her 🙃

DieselMonte's 2012 Monte Carlo Project.

DieselMonte · 25 March, 20206 yr

This is my 2012 Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo, It is a 1.6 TDI 105 ps model with 89k miles. I bought it on the first of February and have imported it into Ireland since,however it has sat for since due to it being a pain to get insurance. Since it didn't need anything I only clayed and polished the paint,hopefully I will be able to get a remap in the coming months to about 140 ps but I have no other plans for the car. I can't justify doing anything right now as everything on the car is

Columbus mp3 playlist creation

rooflessdriver · 6 hours ago6 hr

I thought I’d add a post in case it helps anyone else. I searched the forum for the file layout to import playlists on my L&K spec Columbus head unit but didn’t really find much. So a bit of digging on the interweb and found a great free utility called mp3tag. I used this to edit the id3 tags on a bunch of tracks in a folder, “selected all” and then “create a playlist” (Remove the file path c:\ bits) so it’s myplaylist.m3u and saved it in the same directory as the .mp3 files.

Electronic Gremlins - are we just unlucky?

Liteboy · 14 May14 May

We bought our Scala Monte Carlo Edition 1.5 tsi back in December and from late January it has had both mechanical problems and electronic gremlins. The mechanical problem have mostly been sorted, new rear discs and pads that were making noises like a wheel bearing was rumbling, the gearbox has had a software update and a reset (it's still not perfect). And the road noise is just the high dB tyres and lack of sound insulation. The electronic gremlins were put down to a failing 12v battery which
