    Altea 2.0 TDi BKD cruise control / deceleration

    Hello, I'm running an Altea 2.0 Sport TDi and I am trying to get around some weird behaviour. As it's the same 2.0 TDi from the A3, A4 and Passat, I thought someone might have experienced or heard of this and be able to help. First issue is with the cruise control. When engaged and on the...

    Boss-eyed headlights

    Been meaning to ask for 3 weeks now! Since my cambelt etc was done, my headlights have been all over the shop, not really having time to go back to the dealer, what tools and how do I adjust the lights back to somewhere near the correct position?

    MIJ EXHASTS

    Hi Guys, anyone have any experience with these? My exhaust is blowing, on the flexi joint, been quoted £136 or can get the part for about £50 plus fitting. But, I looked under the car while it was up in the air and the centre box joint looks very rusty, so will probably need doing before too...

    Removing Avant boot side panels

    Hi, trying to get to the bottom of my lack of rear sound. Anyone know how the rear panels come off. I will buy a Haynes manual sooner or later, but for now I want to have a go. I can see 1 screw inside where the load cover parks but that's it. HELP

    A4 B5 Avant rear wiring again....

    Hi, finally got some keys to remove my Symphony unit so I can see if the rear amp is unplugged. Which side do the wires go and what am I looking for - are they like normal RCA's or is it a multi plug like an ISO block?

    A4 B5 dbl DIN replacement.

    Hi, anyone removed their Symphony and used a dash adaptor for single DIN? Have only seen them from the US on ebay, saves changing the whole middle part of the dash for a different one.

    Found a garage that gives a F@#k!

    I'm not bothered that I didn't get my car back today from the garage after new cambelt / water pump and thermostat job, as they wouldn't release it until they had replaced the coolant. It's in my local Skoda garage round the corner from me, quite a small dealership but they do own a large...

    NSF corner clang / rattle over bumps

    Hi, noise sounds a bit like a loose shield behind the disc, but isn't. It happens over bumps, not all the time, also, it appears to stop when the brakes are applied, even gently. Could it be the pads somehow?

    Thermostat location 1.8T?

    Hi all, car's booked in with local Skoda dealer (5 min walk from home!) for a cambelt change next week. I've asked for the water pump to be done at the same time and have just thought I might request the 'stat is changed too if it's in the vicintiy of where they'll be working anyway? So who...

    A4 B5 Avant Rear speakers / amp

    Hi, got my Avant on Friday, faded stereo to rear, nothing! I'm unsure if there are any speakers at all for a start but gather that the rears are fed off an amp like the saloons. Anyone got a pic of where to look etc please? Then I can figure if it's there, or faulty or what! Cheers.
