2002 Skoda Octavia vRS MK1

1.8t AUQ engine

124k Miles

MOT till December 2015

its currently tax'd but you will have to tax yourself due to new vehicle taxing legislation

Service History

35mpg round town

45mpg long distance

Detatchable tow bar with single electrics

Good Points - mostly done since ive owned it . . .

INTERIOR HAS NOW BEEN CLEANED

FORGOT TO MENTION, THE FRONT ARMS HAVE BEEN POLY-BUSHED BY PREVIOUS OWNER

I ALSO REPLACED BOTH BALLJOINTS AND O/S CV JOINT LAST YEAR

Freshly Referbished Alloy wheels (spiders) in dark anthrecite

11months MOT

Good service history - (I did the last oil change last weekend using genuine parts from TPS after replacing the Oil Pick up pipe).

Brand New Allied Nippon front and rear Brake pads fitted today

New NSR calliper - genuine TRW

Brake fluid changed

New genuine coil packs 6 months ago

New spark plugs

New Front ball joints

New Link arms

New top strut mount

very clean engine bay

parking sensors - which actually work

2 good tyres - 4/5mm tread

1 good continental spare tyre (loose) included in sale

Spare alloy wheel with tyre although close to legal limit

New clutch / SMF kit at 116k miles (septmeber 2013)

new nsr caliper and full brake fluid changed

Modifications included

Forge 007p valve covered less than 3000 miles

19mm 500ml oil catch can

Lowered 15mm front and original springs on rear although 15mm rear springs will be included in sale, I found it sits too low at the rear but best suited with current setup

Solid mass flywheel conversion

simplified breather system

simplified vacuum system

Team Heko Wind deflectors

calipers repainted green couple months ago - will include paint tin 3/4 full

dash cam - although not the best quality, will require sd card to record, is powered by in car charger

Fly Eye covered front headlights and partial rear lights using genuine fly eye - film not cheap copy

JVC CD/MP3 player with multi colour display and aux input

Fusion subwoofer with built in amp

still have original tape player and cd disc changer in boot although I could'nt get good from the changer

Good condition interior with no rips or tears, ideally needs the seats shampooing though

de-restricted air box with short 3" diameter cold air feed

Pipercross panel filter new last year

Bad points

Cat C write off in 2012

light surface corrosion starting on rear arches

slight dent in passanger front wing, I have a replacement in black but this is slightly corroded.

only 1 remote key, works perfectly fine

exhaust had new clamps before last mot, but think one of the clamps has come loose as the exhaust has tilted slighlty

2 mot advisories - front wheel bearing slight play and nsr tyre close to legal limit although I have a continental tyre to go with the sale

this is how it looked when I first got it

and now

I will add more pictures soon

I have looked after her the best I can since becoming the owner in august 2013 when I swapped my Mazda Mx5 for the octy. It cost me around £1300 initially then spent nearly £300 a few weeks later when the clutch went. I have spent countless hours and money on this car getting it to how it is now.

I'm sure theres tonns of sruff I've missed out but f you have any quaries drop me a PM and I'll get back to you asap, or PM me your number and I'll call your back

Asking £1250 - worth more and even more broken into parts but would rather keep this one alive :,(
