SKODA OCTAVIA MK1 OSF DRIVER WINDOW GLASS
Tonka972 replied to godfathertre's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Gianpaolo They are the same shape between Combi and Sedan - however you may wish to check that the tint is the same. Have a look at the codes stamped on the window base corner and compare with what you find either at the scrap yard or on eBay... A cheap fix... David -
Hi Shaun Pop the drivers door handle trim off (a ribbed piece of plastic on the back of the handle) and gently prise up the door handle switch panel (the one with the electric window and door lock controls - this is secured by the handle trim). Check that the electrical connection into the bottom of that is secure... If that's come lose then that's where your issues are as this controls the majority of the functions that you describe... It's a connector block which pushes into the base of the switch gear... David

Best exhaust size and manufacturer
Tonka972 replied to Jimbling's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I've run a really nice stainless 2.5" decat handmade by exhaust a fix - top quality welds etc and not budget busting... Rifled Pro Flow back box included... Nice burble and 'pop' included... Was around £380... I'm now on a 3" decat having gone nuts with the car but can highly recommend them... They're on Station Road in Darlington so not too far from you - just call them and they'll give you an appointment time... Martin is the guy to speak to! David -
Rear shocks...replace with oem or not?
Tonka972 replied to JackRS1's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I dropped my Combi onto new H & R 40 mm lowering springs early last year with new Bilstein B6 shocks - she rides like the day I bought her new and runs 40k per year as a daily driver - never had an issue. She's sat on 225/45/18's - of the best modifications I've made. Beautifully planted on the road. Pictures on my gallery if interested. David -
Anyone interested in a Bradford locale meeting ?
Tonka972 replied to Skoda4x4man's topic in Yorkshire & Humber
Will await a date folks - am a possible for now. Great plan! David -
Exhaust a fix - specialise with the cat back pro flow systems Dave MW. They made a full 2.5" resonated system on a previous Octy of mine for £400 with a lifetime guarantee. Top notch welds and tail pipes too...

I had a wish list Chris - so I opted to put a brand new Audi tdi in it. There are some great reconditioned units out there - try TES ( The Engine Shop) They supply some really good units. They advertise in Performance VW 01322 350022... [email protected] or www.theengineshop.info Hope you get the old girl up and running again. David -

Don't bin it! I rebuilt mine completely at 201k and installed a brand new engine - you know the car inside out and it's history - repair it and enjoy it :-)
