And another picture

A picture of mine last week just before it Took me to work fitted with continental winter tyres brilliant it went anyway.

Got my letter today as well certainly will not be having mine done

I've just had my 2010 octavia vrs serviced They mentioned I have a very rusty rear spring and recommended to have it replaced because they can break/snap i've just been out to have a look at the spring and there is no rust On the spring top or bottom Anyway is it common for Octavias rear springs to Break/snap ?

Have a look on eBay you can buy quantum oil for £19 with free delivery

Shame they drop this after such a short time This was going to be my next car but now I have to rethink what to get next ☹️

At front of engine on the block behind dipstick there is a black plastic joint bolted to the block with two pipes going to it.it is quite hard to see it from the front of the engine. It is not covered in a lot of oil just slightly damp and shiny when I put a torch on it. Is this anything to worry about is this normal ? What is it is it breather pipes for engine ? (2010 cr170 vrs).

I had my cam belt and waterpump replaced last year at a Skoda dealer I asked the same question about the aux belt and they charge me £17 for the belt no extra labour

Very interesting reading all this looking at getting one of those anyone had experience in the android units yet ?

Michelin pilot sport 4' s on mine replaced mps 3's very impressed been on six weeks so far £102. Be getting a good test next week when we drive to south of France

Your old discs looked shocking I bet your car stops better now

Looking at buying a pela 6000 for my cr 170 octavia Has anyone changed their oil on this engine ? Does the tube Fit down the dip stick tube?

Yeah same here had two letters all gone quiet now meant to start recall from January Perhaps VW don't need to do it anymore I wonder if they have found a legal clause to get out of recalling thousands of cars.

Which independent are you using ?I need to find one in Kent soon as I am going to start changing my oil every six months to.

Reflex Silver Paint Code La7w Sum later FL Octavias where painted in this colour.

Maybe the motor has seized up think this is a common problem with them

A picture of mine black bottom colour Keyed top [emoji3]

Found this on a golf site not tried it don't know if it is the same as ours

Arrives today fitted in minutes works as it should do shame the golf switch is smaller so there is a gap at the top just got this search for a octavia switch now. But overall very pleased with it and how easy it is to do.

I'll let you know in two weeks I've just ordered one of these from China for mine we'll see if it works

Anyone going to this next weekend i'm going on Friday does anyone know what new skodas they are showing ?

Hi did this today and so far so good quiet car

If I was you change oil and filter once a year or 10,000 miles[emoji593]
