mfd vs portable sat nav

Followers

24 November, 200718 yr

I'm considering getting some sat nav to aid the occasional road trip, both in the uk and europe.

At the moment, i'm not sure whether ut would be best to track down one of the oem mfd units for my fabia or to go with a newer portable solution. Could someone give me a summary of the various pros and cons so I can see if there is anything I've not yet considered? cheers

2015 VRS TDI - Coolant loss from expansion tank

Sharpy64 · 22 June22 Jun

Hi All, I know this is a topic that seems to have been covered a million times but my vRS has become a problem child. It was losing a small amount of coolant and I would get the odd whisp of steam from the back, I diagnosed a leaking EGR Cooler (confirmed with off car pressure test) and a small water pump leak. I replaced both and thought my work here was done. However it now seems to have made losses worse, this time from the reservoir, so yesterday I did a 90 min motorway drive and by the t

Hi all, I have my Fabia currently fitted with the base Swing head unit. I'd like to upgrade to Bolero or Amundsen, and it's important to me to stay strictly with original skoda/VAG parts - no aftermarket Android units or third-party adapters. My main goals: Apple CarPlay (via SmartLink+) - Swing doesn't support this at all Rear-view camera integration - not currently fitted What I have found so far: I would probably need Bolero unit 6V0 919 604 (and variants) to fit my Skoda. It is said that

Hi, I'm looking at the Thule Allax threshold compatible L compact dog crate for my estate. Does anyone on here actually have one in their estate? I was wondering what the fit was like. https://www.travellingwithpets.co.uk/products/tu770014

Airbag error, what can reset it?

Airbag error, what can reset it?

rik1254 · 22 October, 20241 yr

During my hardwire dash cam install, I removed the trim which holds the passenger airbag switch and unplugged it. Now (unsurprisingly) I have an airbag error on the dash. I’ve cycled the ignition a few times in hopes that would reset it, I also tried enabling and disabling the airbag with the key, still no joy. Is this something I can reset at home? I’m hoping something like ODBeleven free plan can do it, but it’s difficult finding out what the free plan can actually do.
