Vrs418

I’ve just brought number 296

Just going to look at number 296 anybody know the previous owner of the car?

Can you buy the black bumper inserts for the front and rear separately?

Mine does this but only from a cold start. Quiet as a mouse when it does a warm/hot start

Just seen one on ebay. Item number 251374463396. Hope it helps

Mine looked like that, found the hangers on the centre section had previously snapped and been removed

Sorted it now, it was the water outlet on the side of the head that was leaking onto the vacuum pipes, which made it look like it was a pipe leaking. Thanks for your help.

There is a coolant hose coming of the side of my cylinder head (auq vrs) from what I can only describe as a brass tyre fitting that has rubbed on some wiring and is now leaking. Does anyone know if this pipe is included in the forge coolant hose kit, as when something fails on my car I like to replace with better parts.

With it being a custom exhaust I just had a mid sport sound due to the motorway mileage that I do it's just a bit louder than standard but I'm over the moon with it. I can't recommend mij performance in Walsall enough, great job. :-)

And the decision is.......

I thought I'd made my mind up but now I've seen hardcorehobbit's post I'm thinking again! Need to hurry up and decide as its booked in, in 56 minutes!

Thanks to all for the replies its really appreciated. I think I'd like a slashed oval! We''ll find out tomorrow what i decide when I post some pics!

I'm having my cat back exhaust done Saturday morning and still cat decide on the tip. Was thinking 6x4 oval with a slash cut to follow the line of the bumper but I'm struggling to find some pics, found loads for twin round which is my second option third option was to have the standard tip welded back on but a bit closer to the bumper cut out. Could you please post some pics of your exhaust or if you could direct me to a picture that would be a great help as this is a big decision!!!!

Looks like too much heat to me. I'd take a copy of the mot info and say what are you (the garage) going to do about it.

I'd take it back as this is now an mot failure which they have caused on your vehicle please see the link. http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/htdocs/m4s02000204.htm

Thank you phill for the pics

Can anyone direct me to some pics of a silver VRS with window tints. I'm considering have some tints done but would just like to look before I put my hand in my pocket.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply, this has just cemented my decision to buy them now.

Anybody had any experience with Continental sport contact 5 tyres on their mk1 Octavia vrs. I'm considering some for myself as these federals that are on at the moment are hopeless in wet conditions. I know no tyre is great in the wet but I do want to have a bit of confidence.

I have searched the forum and can't find a thread with my exact fault. I have an 02 plate octavia vrs When I press the central locking unlock button once it opens the drivers side door only, on the second press I can hear the locks bounce/ try and unlock the remaining doors and boot and they remain locked. Any body had this issue before or any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello, just picked up my 02 plate octavia vrs yesterday and love it already. Hoping to get some assistance through this site and also give some assistance out.
