Going to change my octavia tdi into a vrs rep
V8 Dave replied to Joe41's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I hate the vRS trim, the seats are awful and lack side support, and the grey trim? WTF decided that was a good idea on a family car?! If I had the chance to design my own, I'd have an estate with black half leather Recaros, black carpet and black cloth door cards. That's the car Skoda should have built IMO... -
Any trust garage to recommend in Southampton please ?
V8 Dave replied to Annabelle's topic in South East (Central) Meets
Sounds like a wishbone bush? 200 is a bit steep to change a wishbone to be honest. I use Ray Chandler next door to Fareham train station, he's a TT owner and the only guy I trust with my cars. -
Gathering Parts for a FMIC install help
V8 Dave replied to Bowders1's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I thought the stock pancake pipe was a flow restriction? It certainly won't help flow. I assume by no pipes over the bay you mean you don't like the K04 style hot side arrangement? -
Yep, standard compensator fits. Just had one fitted to my brothers car this morning by a mate in the local Kwik Fit.
-
Diesel centre is a straight pipe, does away with the centre resonator. Almost a staright fit. Just needs the flared part on the front chopping off.
-
Diesel centre section and a decat short of going all out and getting a system

Have you checked and cleared the codes? The light means a fault code is stored which will point you towards the problems. Also, did you uplug the throttle body to clean it? If so, you'll need to run adaptation with VCDS.

Stupid question but I have to ask
V8 Dave replied to essexocty's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
It'd do something, various Jap motors have them, my old Shogun had one on its top mount IC. You'd be well advised to get the Audi arch vent fitted to get the heat out of the back end of the IC as it has nowhere to go apart from up and into the bay. It'd be a fun side project, but it'll never be as affective as a decent FMIC -
Paid his price. No problems with bends at all, as long as you have space to work (obviously it's done off the car)
-
I got one these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intercooler-pipe-beader-/281315039498 For the money it can't be beat

Bugger, the future hopefully holds a k04 :( Thanks for the help Tom, I'll just have to suck it up. I refuse to go near Techniclutch, even for their G60/Sachs kits. Too many upset people :(
-
There's someone down soton with a Fabia 1.9 TDI breaking. I might have a look and see if that suits. Unhelpfully, there are no part numbers listed :(
-
Can find even less now :( Does that apply to 02j TDIs too, or is it strictly 02a cars only?
-
OK, so my clutch is goosed, and I'm going to go G60/VR6, BUT! Am I right in thinking that *ANY* 1.9TDi solid flywheel will fit, instead of just the usual ABF/G60 suspects? Seems anything G60/ABF related on eBay has scene tax on it, but 1.9 TDI Galaxy/Sharan flywheels are 40 quid (which appeals to the cheap ****** in me) Any definitive answers, before I drop the hammer on something I shouldn't?

Nooooo!! Black magic mk1! You know you want the fastest colour they made
