Hi as is common with Vags the drivers door mechanism had become temperamental, I’ve bought the replacement from Skoda and set about removing the door card etc but can’t figure out how to undo the cable from the outside handle that goes to the mech??? any ideas peeps? Do I need to remove the door handle ? On the older Octavia’s you could remove the outside door panel cheers

You star, I couldn’t find anything I’ll keep this pinned in case I ever do need replacements

Bonjour My 2017 245 octavia has DCC as a factory option, the kit is really good and would I have it again? definatly My question is even though its working fine now, at some point it will need replacing (cars only on 53k so should be good for a while) . I was ordering a new door locking mech from Skoda and while I had them on the phone, I asked how much it would be to replace knowing that it wouldn't be cheap but was not expecting £300 PER damper!!!!! with new springs at £120 each the total cost for just the parts is £1700 with fitting on top 😭 Has anyone been through this or tried an aftermarket direct replacement? monroe look like they do a adaptive damper after a quick look around but I can't find any info on any of the forums VW/Seat Audi etc where it has acutaully been done?

I've a 2018 245 and had mine also changed, it's definitely a separate oil to the clutch etc and expensive at £50 for 1/2 litre. At 42k and three years old my filter and oil were clear and good but I would definitely get it done. FYI my garage hadn't heard or seen this sort of locking diff but soon figured it out after a bit of research, plus the 500ml bottle will give you two changes and if you do it yourself, be carful of the wiring as its a tight fit.

I'm pretty sure in my vrs, that if you lift the back part of the horizontal bar for height adjustment on the sear, that it just raises the back of the base and not the front, changing the tilt/ dip position. It has three different adjustments for just the height. Hope that helps

The owl noise is driving me mad, the car is driving fine and no codes but everytime I let off the revs to change gear etc around 2500-3k I get the owl calling under the bonnet! it sounds like I've gone back 15 years and have a huge blowoff valve. Never does it when I'm pootling around, which is 85% of my driving, I might just be hinding the sound when I push it hard but it doesn't seem as loud?? Pretty sure its turbo related but the car seems happy Please help

Cross fingers, its kind of taken the excitement away. I've had 5 other vrs's mapped and never any problems

Hi I had my car stage 1 remapped on Friday at Big fish tuning and ever since then the car now has an audible whoosh noise which sounds like a turbo waste gate ? is this normal? My car is a 2018 octavia vrs 245 tsi. The noise happens usually in gears 1-3 and only at low revs when changing gear, roughly 2.5-3k but never when your pushing it The car made good gains but John who owns the place and does the maps live on rollers, did have a problem with a dip in the power curve? to his due he spent 3.5 hours on it and said I could bring it back when it warmed up outside (it was -4 when I had it done) as he thought the tyres where not warming up enough. Any ideas on this one peeps? as I didn't think these cars had a recirculating valve which it sounds like, I'm a little worried too much boost has now been added Thanks

Yes please, isn't the one for the diesel slightly different? I'll pm you Cheers

This will make you laugh or cry, the company will not deliver to the UK at all but but are happy to post to Jersey! Got to love brexit

You're a star thanks, still looks a little confusing on ordering the correct one but worth a punt as these look awesome

Bonjour Can I ask where people got their Rieger diffuser from for a 2018 Octavia VRS? I've had a good look on ebay etc but there only seems to be ones from Germany available Thanks

3 previous owners and the service cost all depends on where you take it and which service. Hope that helps? If not please message me. Chris

Thank you

Plenty of interest but still here so reduced.
