Good Day All.

2005 Octavia A5 Combi Elegance 140 bhp TD.

Bought this in May for my expatriate Folks to use for their annual visit to the UK, with the intention of selling it when they leave. This meant they wouldn't have to rent something for 3 months and I wouldn't have to lend them my 2002 Saab 9-3 TdI.

Interestingly the Octavia engine is a tenth smaller capacity but gives 12% more power and 19% better fuel consumption.

Which to Sell?????????

Regards - Doug Green

Hiya.

Well, I know which I'd sell, but OTOH you may be endlessly addicted to revving a car's nuts off to go more slowly.

Outback going, what next?

Aspman · yesterday at 11:231 day

After dropping a wodge on the Outback for a new battery only for the tailgate issues to immediately recur and funnily enough for a internet search to suddenly (wasn't before) flag that there is a persistent and long standing Subaru issue with a parasitic battery drain via the telematics module. Basically the car continually tries to phone home and drains the battery, the tailgate control module is acutely sensitive to voltage meaning that if the car has sat for more than a day (sometime less) th

Can you change front shocks without removing hubs etc? 12 plate 1.6tdi

Alasdair1 · 1 hour ago1 hr

MOT today with a couple of advisory but also yet another broken front spring. Thats seven now in two years on my cars. Sounds a daft question but wondered if anyone has changed front shocks without removing hub. Was wondering if both wheels were off ground with car on axle stands would there be enough play to drop knuckle enough to separate and remove shocks. Alasdair

How to improve steering feel

CRB123 · 21 October, 20223 yr

Hi folks, I'm finding the steering feel of the Superb somewhat lifeless, vague and far too light. Looking for your help to see what I can do to improve it Having owned 3 other VAG's (2 x Golf R's and 1 x Golf Alltrack) I'm used to the lack of steering feedback however, the Superb is the worst so far. Drove my wife's Alltrack the other day and it was more direct than the Superb. Current handling mods are just Eibach lowering springs at the moment, and good tyr

DIY ABS warning Fix

Lambo1 · 5 June5 Jun

Yesterday our Roomster started beeping and flashing the warning light about the ABS. My first thought was to replace the ABS sensors – they are around £7 each and seem to be easy enough to replace by removing the rear wheels. I could also give the connections a bit of a clean at the same time. What are my chances chances of fixing the issue within 45 minutes of DIY work? I don’t have any diagnostic tools, but if this is a common fault with an easy fix it would be great to know what other peo
