Evening, posted a tech help question a couple of weeks ago, got useful reply, thanks all.

Car is a March 2005 Silver Fabia vRS, it's my wife's daily drive as she commutes from Leeds to Sheffield. Replaced a Mini and she chose it over a 118d/120d.

Mine's a SAAB 9-3 Diesel.

Probably looking to replace both with just one car as we should lose a commute soon. Octavia vRS TDi Estate as favourite at the mo, but also taken with S-Max.

Anyone taken the trouble to 'vRS' a Fabia Estate?

remove the engine splash shield underneath the front bumper

Rickssokda · Wednesday at 19:373 days

Hi all, I'm trying to get at the lower radiator hose in my 2016 Octavia. I've looked on google and found that I should remove the seven t25 screws. 5 on the bumper splash shield and one on each side connected to the fender. The shield seems loose, but it won't come off and I don't want to try and pry it too much as I'm concerned that I'll crack it. Can someone tell me what additional screws, or maybe clips, need to be removed to get this off? many thanks for all info

There was a similar thread on the Golf GTI site I used to be on and I found it really interesting to see what other's had been up to. My car is due to be built this week (34) so I am counting down the days until I finally get it! So what have you lot been up to?

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · Friday at 22:021 day

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

Coolant pump belt change

Coolant pump belt change

Flyinghigh · Monday at 10:535 days

My 1.8tsi Octavia scout coolant pump was leaking via the impeller. I'd like to change the small belt (not the big timing belt!) that spins the impeller as well as the pump etc but the left handed bolt is stuck. I've not tried too much force as the captive gear it holds moves when I try and I'm concerned that I might break something internally. Would anybody have any experience removing this bolt or known methods of doing so? The photo shows the gear and the bolt I'm refering to is holding this g

Octavia 2013 Tdi estate. Can't get gear shift into reverse.

JHowe · 7 hours ago7 hr

Hi! I'm in need of some help please. My Octavia estate sat for 8 months unused. The battery went flat (AGM Varta) and doesn't charge. I got the car started with a different battery and then swapped in the dead battery to see if it would start charging. BUT, now the engine was running I needed to move the car a bit and found that the gear stick won't go into reverse gear. It can select 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th but not reverse. I've ordered up a new AGM battery (due in a couple of days) but this reverse
