About Skoda

Skoda has come a long way from its origins as a bicycle manufacturer in the 1890s via a reputation as a producer of post-war communist workhouse vehicles to todays Skoda as one of the best value providers of stylish family cars. The modern overhaul of Skoda started in 1990 when the company was taken over by VW. The Skoda Fabia, the popular supermini, became the first car to transform Skodas reputation with the aid of VWs leadership and the Skoda Octavia and Superb similarly won over customers and industry experts who have been amazed by the performance, handling, comfort and value for money of these vehicles. The reputation of Skoda looks set to be enhanced as the company continues to add new models to its line up. Current highlights include the turbo-charged Skoda Octavia diesel.

Volkswagen Passat Spares Maintenance

How to Check/Refill the Battery Electrolyte in a VW Passat

If you have a newer Volkswagen Passat, you most likely have a maintenance-free, or sealed battery in your vehicle. If you have an older model of VW Passat, or if the dealer replaced your battery under warranty, you probably have a low-maintenance, or traditional cell battery. Regardless of the battery type, it's easy to check the battery electrolyte fluid levels at home to make sure your battery is getting a full charge.

1. Park the Passat and turn the engine off. Pull the hood release handle located inside the vehicle under the instrument panel. Push the hood latch located under the hood to open the hood.

Volkswagen Beetle Spares Maintenance

The New Volkswagen Beetle has been around for several years now, and except for the classic shape, it’s not the Beetle of old. Unlike its ancestor, this New VW Beetle is conventional, modern and sophisticated. It has all of the bells and whistles of other current models, the performance and handling of a conventional front-wheel-drive car, and is still cute. One thing it does share with the original Beetle is popularity. The New Beetle sells quite well, and more and more of them are on the road. From baseline GL models to top-of-the-line turbo Cabriolets, there are versions to fit any desire. This article will focus on the various maintenance quirks that relate to the Volkswagen Beetle spares & parts.
First: Changing the oil of your Volkswagen Beetle regularly ultimately results in its longevity. If you have a Volkswagen Beetle that runs on diesel, it is advisable to change the oil after every 7,000-8,000 km. For a 2007/2008 Beetle, you can run it for as much as 12,500 km without changing oil. However, with the gasoline powered engine VW, it is judicious to change oil after every 8,000-9,000 km. Oil your Volkswagen Beetle on a regular basis and ensure a wobble free operation. My personal experience however says that Volkswagen Beetle spares operates best when run with Synthetic oil. I used synthetic oil in one of my Beetle and till date it runs without throwing any tantrums.

VW Audi Maintenance Tips

Tuneup - an old-fashioned maintenance term that's nearly non-existent today. With electronic ignition and fuel injection came computers that took over control of Volkswagen Audi engine settings. Early versions allowed for some tinkering, but today's VW - Audi engines require advanced equipment and training.

You can, however, replace normal maintenance parts/spares and still see improved engine performance from your VW- Audi. Here are common maintenance parts you can replace to significantly increase performance and reduce major problems:

Basic Ignition Audi Parts

Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are good indicators of VW Audi - engine condition. Removing and inspecting spark plugs tell you a lot about how well the engine is running and what may be causing problems.

All spark plugs should be removed and checked every 30,000 miles - even if your Audi is "low maintenance" - you're told to change spark plugs at 100,000 miles. This prevents the plugs from seizing in the block, causing expensive repairs down the road.

Always note which plug came from which cylinder. This tells you if a particular cylinder has a problem. BEWARE: New spark plugs can make a difference in your Audi's performance but only if replaced with the appropriate OE replacement plug.

Distributor Cap & Rotor: Both the distributor cap and the rotor are usually plastic and, thus, deteriorate with age and use. Cracks may develop, allowing moisture in. The metal contacts on both can then corrode, causing misfiring. These parts should be replaced at recommended intervals or if showing any excessive wear.
