Skoda specialist

[baldy1926]

Hi
I have a 2006 octavia petrol vrs.
Its done 125k fairly trouble free miles.however the heating has packed up in the fact its on hot all the time.
Apparently the positioning motor for temp flap is knackard and needs replacing.
Its a pig of a job main dealer labour prices would be out of the question due to the value of the car.
Does any one of anyone with knowledge of skodas who could replace it.
The part is generic over the vw brand so any one to do with the mark would be good.
I'm based around Nottingham so that area would be good

Plenty of guides on there on how to do it / someone on there might know of a local Indie.

In that case- you pass Unit 18 on way up north. They are in Old Wolverton( Milton Keynes area), and are reasonable and approachable.
