Original battery in Apr '12 1.8 Superb finally gave up the ghost yesterday but only after we had parked up for about an hour with radio on. Must be something about those German manufactured...
Son's Alltrack now flooded comprehensively twice. First time off road for about three months, this time VW have already had it a month.
Not sure whether Skoda decisions go up the line to VW or not. My regular service people who specialise in VW/ Audi advised me that VW were pretty good at covering mechatronic units out of warranty so...
Positive response from Skoda Australia when my 4/12 build Superb Elegance 118 tsi started pumping out gearbox fluid a few weeks ago.
Left the car with Thomson Skoda when we went off overseas for a...
Son's car has now twice flooded level with trans tunnel on passenger side due to sun roof leaking. Off road for three months first time, already off road for five weeks this time!
Small boot lid has lost its counterbalance. No longer lifts open on the button and drops like a stone from open position. Do they have springs or gas struts on the small lid? Any tips on how to...
Just keep your eye on the sunroof drains. My son's Alltrack was off the road for nearly four months after being flooded inside due to a single blocked drain tube. Two days after its first dealer...
Might we ask why your new Passat is "missing"?
Can't agree that it was just gimmicky. When I'm just shopping, pop the conventional boot and it's any easy reach to close the boot again. When I'm taking my bike to races, can open the full hatch to...
Thanks Steve.
Suspected the most obvious might have to be the solution. Had hoped might have been a way to prioritise the connections. If it works, that'll do!

You got long to wait till you come of your P's? Really need the car change ASAP? Wouldn't you be paying a hell of an insurance premium to get cover for a 206 while on P's?
When self and SWMBO get into the car at same time SWMBO's phone always connects rather than mine. People who want to contact us normally call my number since other half has history of not turning on...
Would they fit Skoda Superb Mk 2 sedan?
PS Did the Octavia go to a good home. Looked a very nice clean car.
Saw my second Superb Mk 3 today parked in Kings Langley. Black sedan, 162 or diesel I'm presuming since no 4x4 badging on rear. Running 19" rims. Passed by a white Mk 3 wagon last Friday on the M4...
We had to have "clutch pack" fitted to our 4/12 build 118tsi at 18000Kms.(under warranty) Now at 36000Kms and no sign of the previous rough changes so far. We don't do a lot of mileage and it gets...
Cannot help notice the popularity of the Mk3 wagon here in Iceland. They are everywhere. Not uncommon to see three or four parked alongside each other in a parking lot. A high proportion of them also...
You're correct about the 1.8. Engine size not exactly obvious from a quick glance under the bonnet (or should I say hood, given my present location).
Picked up a brand new rental Tsi from Moncton, New Brunswick, CA today. Just a fairly base model I assume however engine / transmission specs as per the book are 125Kw / 250Nm mated to the 6 speed...
Assuming the Passat 118tsi has the same 7 speed dag as fitted to Skoda Superb 118tsi models you'll probably be somewhat concerned to hear that three of us on this forum with 2012 build Skoda have all...
Are there no 21st century equivalents to the 1950's Redex which I still recall my father and his contemporaries either adding to the tank or squirting into the carburettors? Was a pretty instant...
Finally said goodbye to the two remaining Dunlop last week. Pleasantly surprised to get another two 235/45 17 97W Pilot Sport 3 for $139 each fitted and balanced from local BJT outlet. Saved me a...
As and when you have the new clutch pack fitted I'd be very interested to know the part numbers which are used. Had our 7 speeder "fixed" 15 months back however I've read there may be yet another set...
Child seat fitted in front passenger seat? I'm guessing you meant rear passenger side.
Thanks for that reference Brad. Useful info from a wonderfully drol presenter☺.
My question was prompted after I was simply scrolling through the MFD as tootled along in the traffic the other day...
Just on the subject of oil temperatures at what sort of temperatures are oils considered to be "overheated"? I'm specifically talking of Skoda 1.8 TSi running approved 505/507 type lubricant.
