Looking at some genuine Sachs replacements as have been told these are OEM and excellent. Can anyone confirm?

And does anyone know if the 4x4 Scout uses the same front struts as the std Octy? I've...

As mentioned in a post here re aircon woes, the N280 fixed the prob. May well be that the compressor duds out but for now it's returned to perfect functioning. Only downside was that the N280 I...

I'd been having issues with my Octavia II Scout aircon for a few years, gradual decline in efficiency, not coming on at startup. Did my research and decided it definitely had to be the N280 control...

2010 Octavia Scout 2.0 TDI with Climatronic.

Aircon is reluctant to start the warmer the weather - very convenient that! Pressing the Auto, On, Off buttons alternatively out of frustration may be...

The MkII Scout has about 160,000 on it now and the rear end is feeling a tad loose, so thinking it's time to look at new shocks. Any recommendations on a good quality (but not insanely pricey)...

I haven't been able to find an obvious mounting point, either in the old broken front section or the new copy. I think I'll have to invent it ... unless someone can chip in who knows where it SHOULD...

Bewdy. Muchas gracias. I've even had a good second guess that it might be a temp sensor. The van is actually a Multivan, but the replacement front end stuff is basic grey plastic repro Transporter -...

Putting a friend's Mk2 T5 front end back together after a bingle and don't recognise this device from the harness that runs along the bumper area. Sits in the harness between the middle parking...

I did a quick adjust against the white tear door of out old Hi Ace campervan and lowered the beams yet again - definitely a marked improvement and that was driving on darkish suburban streets. Right...

Could be right there, GerryC. I work in bicycle mechanics and have seen some pretty amazing LED stuff.

Thanks GerryC
Mine is a 'post-FL' 2010 (they have the upturned eyelids;-)) but I reckon the innards of the light assembly are the same. I had no idea about the poycarb issue until I was looking...

Thanks for the replies. The car is a 2010 Scout. Low beams are a H7 halogen, has the magnifying lens and they're really good. I'll have to play with the aiming again H1 high beam and try some...

I also went Pirelli (not absolutely sure of the model, but probably the same as Bob51) and I'm really impressed with them. I like to hammer (when I'm alone in the car on a nice twisty road) and I...

Hi. Been scouring here and Briskoda for info on high beam upgrades for the H1 halogens on my Scout, finding all sorts of rants about Xenons and Bixenons (like 'let's spend $2500' :facepalm:), but...

Thanks everybody - I saw the Helix Ultra ECT and did wonder if it had replaced (in name) the Ultra Extra - but it doesn't have the VW 507 desig, whereas the Ultra Extra did. I'll head back to...

Octavia Scout MkII 103TDI PD DPF

Have been running Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5w-40 since I started doing my own oil changes; 507.00 approved. Used to buy it from Supercheap but it has disappeared...

Thanks again. Still in a quandary about this biz. Did more reading on a few forums last night. Seems a Subaru Forester (weighs approx 1500kg, same as the Scout) has a towing capacity of 1600kg (same...

Thanks Hillbilly. I have read both articles (late last night!) and can certainly understand the concepts at play better. The first certainly favours the idea that N Am and Oz standards are on a...

Just managed to finally log in. Thanks to all the informed replies.

I'm still a little puzzled by the concept that towball weight is set in stone and A WDH won't modify that - I've towed a...

If there's a thread on this, please redirect me - have searched in vain.

I'm totally confused by rated towball weights. We are looking to buy a Jayco Eagle touring camper-trailer (unladen mass...

Haven't been on the forum for some time ... no probs with the 2010 Scout! Servicing was a real bugbear for me when I bought the car - Richmond Skoda just couldn't convince me where the money went, so...

Been with AAMI with other cars for 20 years, have house & contents with them, and have our two vehicles insured with them, including the 2010 103TDI Skoda Scout. Me and my wife are over 40, rating 1...

Been there, done that (fitted towbar). From what I've heard ALL Skodas imported into Oz have the wiring factory-fitted to the Rr of the car - all that's required is a short section to the hitch and...

Wonder if the Haldex fluid was changed at 60,000? I can easily imagine a lazy dealer leaving it ... i quite like 'testing' out the traction control in the wet and seeing the light come on as it kicks...

Considering the std stealer fee for a 60,000km service was around $900, $1145 including belt & water pump sounds relatively good value! Mind you, I did my own 60k service and saved $600, all genuine...
