  1. Check your under bonnet fuseboxes - link because tapatalk doesn't work and posting pics is a nightmare without it https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/461268-2010-octavia-lighting-issue/#comment-5180205 My own car

    Shrick VGI advice

    Its the clutch slave (not brake, not being pedantic, just trying to stop confusion for the OP)
  3. Could be an air leak? Check all vacuum piping around the engine bay going too / from the manifold etc for splits etc allowing air to enter the engine when the throttle is closed

    Speedline 16"

    I have a set of those I started to strip for refurb, someone had previously done them and stripped the splines on the bolts, others had sheared and had the heads of the bolts glued in...…. I also own 2 brand new ones... I have a couple of sets of 5 x 100 Subaru 16s (OZs and unknown make) that will require spacers for the centre bore and offset. 16 Compomotive THs, 17 BBS RCs, 17 ABT A23s, a spare set of solitudes, 2 spare speedos. Recently sold S3 Avus 17s, 16 Montreal 2s, Audi TT 16 mini comps, 18 TT RS4s, A5 18s and Rangerover 19s To quote my Mrs, "You've bought more wheels!"
  5. Never any issues with explorer on laptop or safari ipad / phone. The forum is on a slow decline for sure
  6. Yes, the pads should just pull out with your fingers, the fact that the handbrake lever will move suggests the piston is not seized. Don’t press the pedal with the Caliper off the pads Also check the Caliper slides move in and out freely
  7. Check the pads aren't jammed in the carriers, not cleaned up by the fitter before installing new pads.

  9. Its important to install them correctly, once refitted hold the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock and rock it side to side, if there's no play its too tight and any grease will be squeegeed away and the bearings will score the races leading to premature failure.

  11. Is the Touareg an in-line engine? Auto too? Is the engine ecu also used for the tranny? Mk4 gearbox will have the engine revving it’s nuts off because for the smaller rolling circumference of the Corrado tyres in comparison to the Jetta. If the above is correct you’re doing it the hard way

    VIP64 for today and tomorrow VIP63 Saturday If they don't work for a particular item try VIP60 also
  14. Non of my business, but you'll find a good condition rear seat much easily than covers with good bolsters, it maybe you just have to bide your time until one comes up for sale near to you. I buy loads of stuff I may want to use in the future if the price is right, both my other half and my new neighbour call me a hoarder, but both take it for granted I'll have the item they need to use or loan.....

    Vip60 or vip65 Try both, depends on the item purchased
  16. Mine took around 20 mins to remove, they don't bleed up well after refitting, so 2 hours to get a decent pedal afterwards

  18. Don't let ultimate economy rule over ultimate running costs. EG modern VAG diesels have fragile EGR valves, DPFs can be an issue on low mileage as well as high mileage cars, then there's DMFs and clutches, turbos etc - any will give you a bill of around £800 with very poor access around the engine bay hampering DIYing. All the above makes you current car look promising even with the £1000 of repairs needed for another 12 months motoring? For me I'd be looking for a 1.9 TDi pre DPF diesel as everything is cheap and simple to repair

  20. My nephew has a 3 cylinder Tdi Ibiza and gets around 80 mpg real world
  21. I think there's a few different paint codes for black, solid and metallic etc
  22. How did the guy get a 16 year ban or was that a typo?
