Did anyone ever find which other vw/audi group seats can fit straight into the mk1 vrs without any serious modification? I want to go all black leather and also replace the door cards to get rid of the light fabric. Sam

Thanks for all the replies. Love this forum 🙂

Sorry if dumb question. But what makes this car limited edition? It just looks like a white vrs to me with decals stuck to it?.. does it have 4wd or anything that makes it anymore special than the standard vrs???

My local in Burton TL Darby. Have quoted me £169 for a set of genuine valve stem seals. Can I get genuine cheaper anywhere else?? I saw Elring ones on ebay,but they seem too cheap to be true. I obviously only want to replace once, so don't want to risk putting in anything other than genuine dealer recommended parts. Does anyone know who manufactures the genuine ones for Vw/Audi/Skoda??

Ok after watching some more vids on youtube that go into more detail... I didn`t support the bottom of the bearing when pressing the abs ring hub in...so the bearing was pushed apart under the pressure. :(. We learn by mistakes i guess.

Both the FAG bearings went in beautifully with my press so i can only assume the wheel hub/abs ring must be the wrong one for my car..? Really angry right now because money down the drain. The first Wheel hub abs ring i tried tapping gently in with a hammer as per the Autodoc videos... it got so far and wouldn`t go any further, so i gave it some firm smacks with the hammer and then the bearing started to come apart, it became loose like it was coming apart. The second one I tried a more gently approach, slowly easing it in with my press, the hub got so far then the fag bearing bottom just popped off!!! Am i right in assuming the hub/abs ring must be wrong?? It's almost as if it is slightly too wide for the bearing. I did notice the bearing has a groove in the middle between both halfs. The abs ring has no grooves, its just a smooth shaft. So annoyed now as the FAG bearings are not exactly cheap! Anyone any ideas as why this could have happened.. just wrong part?? I applied plenty of the proper grease that came with the FAG bearings to all surfaces. Just seems as if the abs ring/hub splined shaft was too wide. Cheers, Samuel

anyone else had this issue? Its a 2.5" downpipe i bought from ebay for a 2000 octavia 4x4 elegance, it is in constant contact with the start of the prop shaft, the vibration dampener part. You can see on the pic it is scuffing it clean and the car sounds like a train chugging along! Wondered if anyone experienced this and has a fix for it.. without returning the downpipe? Cheers, Samuel
