Not good news.

Volkswagen put off plant closures in Germany back in 2024 VW agreed with the Unions to avoid factory closures in Germany and delay compulsory redundancies until 2030.

The media are reporting that the board meeting on thr 9yh July will centre around four German plants closing and potentially 100,000.

Volkswagen is poised for a boardroom showdown following reports that the auto giant is weighing up shutting four factories and implementing 100,000 job cuts.

In 2010 I moved some machinery for making car headliners from Port Elizabeth (now Gqererha) to Uitenhage (now Kariega) as the company supply VW South Africa, which is about 3km away. There are rumours that VW might close the kariega plant, which produces all of the world's supply of the Polo.

Can't open driver's window without holding onto button

Murmansk · 15 May, 20251 yr

65 Reg Octavia estate All my other windows work ok but on the driver's door window I have to hold down the button until the window is fully open. A quick press of the button closes it just fine but opening is the problem. There's no info in the manual that helps I can't help thinking I've had this problem before and somehow solved the problem but I can't remember how. My online research suggested holding the button down until it opened fully and continue holding for a few seconds, then closi

Lost 29-Byte ABS Long Coding — 2014 Škoda Octavia 1.8 TSI

Salmannn · 16 hours ago16 hr

Hello, I accidentally ran a master initialization adaptation reset inside my ABS module using OBDeleven, and it completely cleared out my long coding profile. My module is now showing a persistent 'Control module not coded' fault. My diagnostic device identifies the blank block template as a 29-byte structure. Could someone with access to an MQB MK100 offline software calculator help me generate my matching configuration code? Here is my hardware and chassis data: Vehicle: 2014 Škoda Octavia Mk3

it had the TV tuner like you got in the L&K MK3 Superb. It's almost bothering me enough to think about swapping (although Octavia boot is more than big enough for me). Is this something you really appreciate or something you don't use that often. My one concern would be parking up and watching TV for a few hours and then the car not starting. Is battery drain a problem? Is it possible to upgrade the Columbus in the Octy to get a tuner. And is the aerial in the front windscreen noticeable?

Superb estate rear door lock

MrSVM1 · 17 hours ago17 hr

I am having problems with the rear offside door lock on our 2018 Super 2.0L SE Technology diesel estate. The drivers door switch panel includes the two child lock buttons. When locking the car the rear offside door remains unlocked, therefore we have to keep it locked via the small turn screw on the edge of the door. Having looked into new lock prices, I decided to try a second hand one from a 'reputable' supplier, only to find that this replacement is doing the same thing. I conclude therefore
