What you’re referring to is, the stability control (ESP) his has been discussed many times on here before.

The Diesel vrs will spin up cheap tyres at every opportunity, even in the dry. I always run Michelin premacy’s and even had the sports once, the car could still spin up with they tyres, if you got a bit excited on the rare opportunity that you had no wife or kids in the car.

Are you fitting new callipers or ones from a breakers. Have you greased the runners the callipers sits on from the mounting bracket.

Personally I would stay away from the vw’s vans. Overrated and over valued. For the money you want to spend I’d stick with something from PSA OR Renault. Giving the fact it’s going to france and potentially being sold there and spares are not an issue.

Jack the car up and and get on axle stands, compare the coils. If there both the same visually with the same amount of coil, ones probably fatigued and done. Change them in pairs, never single, you’ll just case the same issue but reverse if you do. You can download Haynes manuals now.

This could still well be driveshafts. Even if they are new, they are all re-con units theses days and a lot of them out there for sale are junk. I previously worked in the motor parts sector for a long time and come across some bad re-con companies, some so bad it was unbelievable. The 2 most reliable brands back then were AMK and GKN. That was along time ago and even brands I had every confidence in then, I wouldn’t recommend to an enemy these days.

Skoda Octavia rear door handle missing part
meta55b replied to jorgedasilva91's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
That bit that’s missing is held in by a bolt, that’s only accessible when the door is open. That’s a weird one. -
That’s pretty bad for the miles the car has done. Darkside definitely know what they’re doing.

Clutch? problems on 55000 miles - who to turn to?
meta55b replied to Teacherspet's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
55000 might seem low for a clutch needing replaced but you have no idea how the owners before you drove the car. Take the car back to the garage who carried out the repair and speak to them, did you tell them it was the clutch or did they diagnose a faulty clutch?. You have no case against Skoda for a clutch, mileage means nothing when It comes to clutches and going by the price of the car, it’s out of warranty. There’s a good video on YouTube, from a guy called Diagnose Dan, who strips down a polo dsg gear box with the 1.4. The fault might be the gear actuator, I’m sure there is a specific way you have to re-set them. -

The ones i have dealings with are air to water. Only forwarding the info from what I’m told by the tenants, repair history’s and engineers comments.

From my own personal experience with air source heating, don’t. I have about 300 houses out of about a 1200, that I have to deal with, that were installed with air source and there’s constant callouts for breakdowns and repairs. An engineer once told me that the Daikin are terrible and should have installed the Mitsubishi ones, His word not mine.

Octavia vRS 08 Footwell Lights/Ghost Lights
meta55b replied to JacksVRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I’m sure there is a post on here somewhere, from a guy named Mike, I think that was his name. He installed the full footwell lighting to his car and gave a full detailed installation as how to do it.
