  1. Nice motor if i was in need id be interested in this i do like the fabia VRS
  2. Skoda Octavia VRS Estate MOT feb 2017 While I have owned the car I have replaced the following: Water Pump Cambelt and Tensioner the day I got it @ 115K 4 X Suspension springs Front and Rear for the MOT good Tyres all round Serviced up as per schedule all filters and spark plugs replaced 120K New coolent temp sender Thermostat OIL pickup Front Pads and Discs changed for MOT does come with original matts apart from drivers side, I have a set of generic ones covering them and seat covers to keep everything fresh. 90% Service History id say 100% but may be few gaps but not much. anyone wanting to view or offer please contact me to arrange a viewing. This is a very reliable car and is great fun to drive as a daily vehicle. It is also good on fuel, I get 34mpg out of it. For a turbo charged engine that's great. Mileage will increase as it is in use but only for 6 miles a day mon-fri. Thanks for looking much appreciated £1300 ONO thanks, 07922331380 Jamie Walker
  3. Thanks Rob at least I know I'm not wasting £400 its crazy that skoda want 400 for a standard system yet a ss system is the same price crazy. anyway thanks for everyone's Help.
  4. Thank you that's the non res one I'm going for matched with the sports cat may go remap it after that........ waiting to hear if I got a job at bombardiar in Derby if I have then I'll 've treating myself.
  5. Surely someone on here has fitted an aftermarket one to an estate?
  6. my exhaust is pretty rotten and now hanging off, having phoned round the price of a system from skoda is pretty much the same as a miltek or a jetex so my question is are the systems for the saloon the same as the estate is there any difference between them as where i have priced it up from road runner motorsports Nottingham are concerned that it may not fit and want me to be 100% sure it fits. I'm going for a miltek non resonated system and sports cat same make will it fit ok? I spoke to skoda and they seem to think they are the same system but didn't sound too convincing?
  7. Awesome thread thanks, I believe I have an issues with this pesky sensor, didn't manifest until two days after purchase how irritating. Thanks good pics aswell.
  8. Hello everyone I have a Mk1 Octavia estate VRS 1.8T, all is well apart from one thing which I am putting down to either a faulty Stat or a faulty coolent temp sensor, serviced the car up yesterday with genuine parts and oils while I was running the engine flush in the car and getting it up to temp after about 15 mins of ticking over at idle with the car up to temp I think it was half way, the guage dropped to cold, I ignored it and carried on doing my service. later on I restarted the car one I completed the service and it was working registering fine again mmm odd I thought, took it for a spin around later last night and was registering fine for 15 mins again the dropped to cold again, then about 5 mins later it registered the temp again. same on todays outing no signs of any overheating in the bay all seems well accept the fans are going intermittently when the cars warming not Hot? I think its a temp sensor but before I replace both the Stat and the Sensor wanted a second heads up and the engine runs lovely and no jerking or anything , thought have I possibly some how caused an air lock but then I never touched the water side just a normal service. air filter, plugs, oil and filter you get the drill. I have had similar issues on cars before with temp sensors but normally registers a fault code this isn't and keeps dropping off through out my journey its quite annoying, only had it since Wednesday its having the timing belt done next Thursday along with the water pump as im not confident doing it on this engine I don't know enough about them, but I will happily change the Stat and Sensor. any advice welcomed thanks.
