Hi, new user here. Just bought a Skoda Felicia 1.9 diesel. Horrible oily smell within the cabin. Been advised to change the oil as they need fully synthetic. Smell not as bad but still there, air cleaner is clean. Been told the gearbox breather could be blocked but according to previous keeper its been done. Cars only done 59000. Doesn't smoke when foot to floor. Any ideas..........?

is there any signs of oil spillage in the engine, particularly down the back of the engine?? or any leaks?? it could just be vapour finding it's way in through the fresh air ducts

Skoda Specialist Garages

Does anybody posses a list of reputable skoda specialists or garages that people could recommend that aren't main dealers (I distrust main dealers) that are around north wales/cheshire/shropshire/powys? My Fabia VRS is past due for it's timing chain and it's also coming up to needing to look at the DSG clutches and I do not want to be bent over a table and royally shafted by main dealers.

Passenger seat electrical controls not working after a new windscreen was fitted
Skoda Kodiaq MK1 (2017-2023)

Passenger seat electrical controls not working after a new windscreen was fitted

Graham Butcher · yesterday at 12:201 day

This might be just a coincidence. But I have just had a new windscreen fitted following a rock being thrown up by a lorry's wheels hitting it, which left a small chip, which after a few days became a long crack and was growing. The screen was replaced last week, and yesterday I discovered the seat was not responding to the controls. I cannot see any fuse listed in the owner's manual which states it supplies power to the seats. The driver's seat is working as usual, which made me think it must b

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

JHowe · Saturday at 17:522 days

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

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

keyfob misbehaving seriously

somean49 · yesterday at 18:051 day

Octy 2 1.4TSI ESTATE CAXA Quite uncertain where to enter this question. The keyfob#1 has started to cause serious problems with the car alarm system. So far keyfob#2 is working with no problem. Car alarm starting randomly and only disconnecting the battery helped. Yesterday the alarm kept sounding/flashing even when the engine was running - undrivable. Is there a home cure whereby I can remap/reset the key fob? My very helpful auto sparks is unable to help
