Hi, Is it only possible to get the RS end silencer original from Skoda? For the Leon/Golf 1.8t AUQ there are lots of OEM stuff, but not for the octavia. https://www.motor-doctor.co.uk/muffler/vw/golf/golf-iv-1j1/16253-1-8-t-gti Will the Leon version fit? - Martin

Hi guys, I have an issue with my 2002 Octavia RS and I have not been able to match it exactly to any of the other issues described here in the forum. So ... issue is.. When acceleration at a medium pace up through the gears the car accelerates fine. If I do a WOT acceleration and after that do an acceleration at a medium pace again the car hesitates/loses power/regains power/ from 2000rpm and all the way up through the rev range. After a few minutes of driving the car settles and I am able to do a medium acceleration without too much hesitation. I can also trigger the problem if I am in 5th gear and gives it some boost without it being WOT. So its a boot isse of some sort? My mecanic is out of ideas :-/ Things changed : Spark plugs N75 valve MAF sensor Checked all hoses etc. Any ideas will be apreciated! The car has done 235tKM and I have had it for 10 years ... so I know how it should drive when it drives OK :-) - Martin

It turned out to be the tow bar electrics that messed up. Once the towbar electrics is disconnected everything works fine. Will fix it when the weather is warmer :-) At least I have a new green brake light switch now!

I think I have fittet it correct. The switch came in unlocked state, pressed the pedal down, inserted the switch, let the pedal com up again and locked it.

Hi, Since the braking light was on constantly while driving I have now replaced the brake light switch to the green version ... but it has not helped. Brake light is still on! What can be the problem here? 2002 Octavia RS. - Martin

Looking at the original lamps compared to the LED, the fitting of the LED looks terrible. The LED verison looks like a Audi A4 B5 lamp they have just modified to somehow fit. Not going to buy the LED lamps right now i think.

I just want the lights for the DE lins so that I can mount xenon in them :-) Dont care about the LED ... actually i would be temptet to disconnect the LED. As you can see these lights are half on the price of the original xenons (The original xenons lights are complete with bulbs though - but without converters.) Marko > I can see the gap ... looks terrible. Need to see the crome version mounted on BLACK car.

Bowders > I do agree. However I want to se a pic with crome headlight and not the black ... I think that would help. The MK1 is an old car and it shows :-/

Hi, Does any of you have pictures of these headligts fitted on a black vRS MK1? Thinking the lights will suited for fitting a xenon kit. Skoda Octavia I 01-08 - Devil Eyes headlights CHROME : Skoda Tuning = superskoda.com

Still need help on this topic I'm afrain. Has changed the above mentioned hose and no other hoses seems to be faulty. Other than that I have change the MAF sensor but that didnt help (so I'm running on the old MAF again). But now I have an error code on the front lambda sensor, but can that lead to petrol smell when idling?

Hi, I have petrol smell in the vRS when idling ... and then I found this hose with a crack in it. Have fixed it temporarely with some gaffa. Anyone got a part # on that one? (The hose on the fist pic with a circle around it)

Smell petrol in my car now also. Where is that hose located? - Martin

Hi, Just recieved my new temperature sender (059 919 501A), but where on the 1.8T is it placed? Pictures ?

Just got it checked by someone who said it could be the low/high pressure valve. Is it the one inside this box and is it a DIY job? We tested the pressure and it was too high when there was hot air comming out (And when the climatronic was set to ex. 18 celcius). When there was cold air comming aout the pressure was OK. Also, do I need to drain the system when changing the valve?
