Hello.

I have a skoda octavia 2010 vrs, Everytime i stand still it smells diesel exhaust inside the car.

It is not an exhaust leak, can it be the dpf? The car has run 174.000km with stage 1 chip, and egr delete.

I get headaches everyday because of this.

Any advice?

Alex.

Do not drive the car and go to A&E about your carbon monoxide poisoning.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring fault

Tyre Pressure Monitoring fault

Avocet · 16 April16 Apr

Hi All, 2017 150 diesel 4x4 DSG, with about 70,000 miles on it. Repeated tyre pressure warning, but a gauge confirms the pressures are all correct? Any thoughts, please?

Afternoon all. Early this year, i made the plunge. I moved across to Skoda from VW. Perhaps they are all the same or perhaps im just getting older and actually, having a decent car with a few less gadgets and a more affordable price tag is more important to me. Anyway, hi all.

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?

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 · 1 hour ago1 hr

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
