First Skoda Driveshaft problem

Followers

17 July, 200619 yr

I have recently bought my first Skoda (secondhand) and at 43000 miles the Layshaft has "snapped".

Anyone else aware of such a problem at a fairly low mileage??

SORRY, I earlier said Driveshaft as that is what I was told, turns out to be the Layshaft. A "manufacturer's defect" the Skoda Garage tell me.

I only drive cars, no very little else about them, so please bear with a non techy!

How do you mean "Broken? It seems unlikely that the shaft has actually broken, rather than that one of the CV joints has failed, which can happen, especially if it was run any distance with a torn boot cover.

Aircon not cooling at all: solutions?

Benja77 · 2 minutes ago2 min

Hello! With the Heat we are experiencing in these days in Italy (more than 30º) I decided to use the the aircon, as last Summer it was really wonderful BUT with my surprise it doesn’t work! I thought there was no gas in the tank but test said there was; I also put new from the beginning but nothing changed: Skoda mechanic told me he doesn’t hear the compressor starting. Thinking to the works I made on the car, I realized I replaced the climatronic panel with the one with heated seats and since

Superb iV estate front bump stop length

CageyH · 2 hours ago2 hr

I have just found a leak on my front RH shock absorber. The car is fitted with DCC, so I am looking at replacing it with the Monroe "aftermarket parts" and also replacing the protection kits and top mounts while I am at it. Does anybody know what the correct bump stop length is for the iV, or how I can find out?

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

I know that i have posted in 3-4 other topics the photos of my modified console (in various stages) but i think it's proper to have them all in one topic plus informations for the step by step procedure. Maybe another member will read it and try to modify his or someone can find via Google Search the photos and have an inspiration. I have done an Upgrade in mine and in the future i will make another one modification so let's take everything from the beginning. Note: Some photos are from internet
