EA888.3 oil change via the dipstick

Followers

1 hour ago1 hr

Hi guys/girls.

Doing this for the first time today. Seems to be painfully slow compared to previous cars where I’ve dropped the oil out the bottom.

Anyone got any tips?

I’m using a Chinese Amazon suction pump, which appears to prefer to buckle rather than suck, although it is slowly getting oil out.

I’ve got the oil filter and filler caps off too.

Reversing Lights poor connection

thamestrader · 5 December, 20255 Dec

Has any one had problems with the bulbs in the rear light clusters causing a "Check Bulb " message, which is correct but simply tapping the light cluster or undoing the screws to remove causes the bulb to illuminate and the error to clear? My partners Fabia has twice displayed this message for a reversing light bulb. The car is an Auto which unlike a manual, it's not possible to switch on the ignition and engage reverse and check the lights oneself, So she started the engine selected reverse an

Hi everyone, I currently have a 2021 S-el Superb but I’ve been looking at a new Sportline. I like the look of the microsuede interior, but it also looks as if it would wear quickly, show dirt and be difficult to clean. Could any current owners tell me if they’ve found this to be the case. Many thanks Gary

Hi, i have an Octavia estate 2L diesel Mk 5, which i believe is a 5e5. First thing in the mornings it can take a bit of turning before it starts. Once it's going its not to bad, but i do charge it every now and then and then it behaves for a little while. I do get some funny messages when its a bit slow to start, so i am thinking that maybe its time for a new battery as it is still on its original battery. My question is; AGM or EFB battery. Some say EFB, but the car is fitted with a Varta AGM b
