smerko thanks for your comment, i want to change the rear brakes as well becaues the calipers on the front are now green whereas the back are grey, and also because my rear disks are too small and dont look good with the 17 vrs alloys, sounds a bit tarty but thats the reason. Regards Kostas

Fellow Briskodians Hello, i recently tried to upgrade my brakes on my 4x4. I found that wereas for the front brakes, there was a stright swap between mine and the vrs disks and calipers, for the rear the vrs disks would not fit? do you know of any workshops that could do this for me , or what other bits from the vrs rear brake system would i need to complete the conversion (i.e stone guards)? At the moment i only have the disks, calipers and pads. Any help would be greatly appreciated

should be able to make it to.

ross, hi i checked with a few skoda dealers who said that the airbag ECU cannot be recoded and the sensors can not be "tricked" I am considering changing the Airbag control module to an older one coming from a car with only 2 front airbags golf mark4 or a vrs. Would that be possible?

if you reset it but didnt change the airbag thaa went off it should be similar to my case

yes me to

Thanks Ross, strange that the skoda dealer said impossible

I phoned a skoda dealer (dont want to say who) and i was told that i cant disable just the side airbags i can only disable all of them or nothing, which manual can i look into? Tried Haynes but didnt find one for the octavia.

so the dealer can do that (decode the airbags)? can i not fit airbags into the seats? i have had a look on the internet but found nothing, Thanks guys Kostas

Helloo again, i tried fitting resistors to the terminals but light still remained on. I called the dealer and was told that there is no way to disable the side airbags without disabling the front as well, Any othet suggestions? Thanks Kostas

I think i will opt for the resistor option. Thanks. i suppose the front airbags will work and if a fault develops for them the light will go off.

Briskodians Hi, I have recently fitted a vrs interior from an estate car to my 4x4 hatch. The vrs front seats do not have airbags so the airbag cables with the cables coming out from the seatbelts are now disconnected. Becasue of that I am now getting the airbag/seatbelt warning light on, and would like to switch it off without taking the bulb out. Can i disable the airbag sensors or is there a way i can fool the sensor by connecting the two cables (from each seat) together or any other way. Any suggestions wold be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kostas
