Hi all, The current coilovers on my skoda fabia have given up (crappy JOM things). I dont have mega money to spend on something mental so I've been looking at Stance+ coilovers as they seem a reasonable price. Was wondering if anyone has had experience with how they are and if they've had...

I have a 2013 Skoda Yeti Elegance 4x4 TD with a flat tyre. It loses pressure rapidly. The soap test reveals no puncture, nor a leaking valve, though I cannot check the back side of the tyre (see below). The thing is, this wheel failed similarly 6 months ago and I, expecting a puncture, had the...

Hey guys, am looking at buying a 2018 octavia hatchback and was wondering about the catalytic converter and how accessible it is on these cars? Anyone got a MK3 octavia hatchback and knows if it's nearer the engine or somewhere further back more easily accessed as might need a cat lock or...

I had my car - 63 reg diesel Skoda Yeti - serviced last week and haven't used it until today. Only to find that the car will not change geat when the engine is on. It will change gear when the engine is off and I've run through all the gears without problem. But when the engine is on the stick...

I've had these tyres from when I bought the car (63 reg Skoda Yeti) brand new. They've done a little over 20k miles and tread depth is fine, but they're almost 8 years old. Should I be concerned about the rubber perishing? They don't get a lot of sun where I park the car.

I need to buy a used car in the next six months to replace my old VW Golf diesel, and need some advice: - Budget is max £20K. Criteria is car needs to be automatic and petrol. - Mileage is around 10K per yr, and car will be used for town driving, weekend getaways and holidays. - I have a 3 &...

Hi all, since we're all in lock down I've been shopping around locally in my town for a potential project and temp daily. Quite a nice Octavia mk1 vrs has came up. Thinking it would be a prime opportunity to get into modifying and tinkering with cars. This seem like a good place to start...

I had my car - a Skoda Yeti - serviced recently and the fuel efficiency has nose-dived. I took it out on a long run on Friday and instead of getting my normal 48 mpg, I got mid 30s mpg one way and it just hit 40 mpg on the return. Now, the brakes were replaced so I checked them but there doesn't...

I've just had my Skoda Yeti serviced and the garage are saying that both the front & rear brake discs are corroded and lipped. They've marked the issue as amber rather than red, so presumably this covers everything from lightly scratched to almost dangerous. How do I check them for myself? What...

Hi all, Recently I bought a Pioneer FH-X840DAB radio for my trusty Fabia MK2 however I neglected the fact that I have never fitted one of these before so I have no idea what I am doing. So far I have checked the wiring and setup and worked out that I will need a DAB antenna, Fascia kit with...

I flattened my car's battery AGAIN. I had left my dashcam plugged in AGAIN. On my Skoda Yeti the 12v cigarette lighter socket is always on. So I need something that will plug into that socket into which I can plug my dashcam's power which will cut the power when the battery's power drops below a...

I had my Octavia VRS on a personal lease with an option to buy direct from Skoda with Skoda finance. I decided at a year old the car was not for me and I wanted to hand it back early and not buy the car. All was good and the settlement paid and the car was inspected and collected with comments...

I had a quick look at the new Skoda Kodiaq today. I didn't take it for a test drive, just had a good look at it in the showroom. For reference I currently have a Skoda Yeti. I was not impressed with the salesman. He was clueless and completely unprepared. He didn't even bother to note my...
