I bought my first Skoda three weeks ago because the head gasket blew on my very old Toyota Previa. Best thing that could have happend as I was only getting 22 miles to the gallon.............. Have I cheated G Brown??

There seems to be tons of info on this site and loads of friendly people with good advice and humour. Looking forward to being a frequent visitor.

Actually, I think that the bad tempered award goes to Mr. Grumpy alone

As for the humour......whoop whoop

Hiya.

Stick around and you'll be even more convinced that a dead Previa is a good thing! Well IMO the best MPV is always a dead one anyway , but in this case I can see additional fun being had.

Jam Nuts Issue (Track Rod End)

joeninho · 31 May31 May

Hi guys, I'm at desperation stage here. Changed bearings on the car. Ball joints also changed. The threads on my TREs were goosed from getting the busy off, so I bought new ones to replace them. My issue is the jam nuts. I have watched/read pretty much everything that's out there, yet these things won't budge. Tried heat, spray etc. Is it definitely clockwise for both to loosen them off you are looking at the hub from the outside of the wheel arch? Lefty loosey when looking from the insid

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts c

Correct gearbox oil for Fabia 2 HTP 70 (2007) ?

Spiffer · 2 hours ago2 hr

I wonder if someone can help me identify the correct OEM product number for a gearbox oil change I am planning. The car is 19 years old and just passed the 50k mile mark and I thought it would be prudent to change the oil when I service it this summer. The trouble I am having is getting any reliable information from online purveyors of oil. I would like to buy original VAG oil. Mine is a 5 speed manual gearbox.
