VRS Cruise Control Retrofit - Cheapest / Best Value?
High4 replied to High4's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Well folks, think we all got a little carried away with the insurance implications on OE retrofit cruise. Point taken though, and I would have no problem declaring it to my insurers the minute it's fitted. For that & other reasons (value, pro fit, lazy) I will look at getting it fitted by a valid company and as stated, Awesome's price does take some beating! Thanks for all the tips and info -

Ok, just completed the diagnostic and had code 4FA 00 What part will i need to change?
-
I will try and pinpoint sound location more precisely. I have found the self diagnostic climatronic process, so can anyone confirm the code readout for that recirc flap/motor? Is the flap & motor 2 different items that have differing codes?

Ok thanks for the advice folks. I wouldn't want my hamster to suddenly die, so how long do you think it would last before it finally pans it? Or is that a bit of a how long is a piece of string question? I'm pretty handy with a spanner so don't mind doing the swap / fix!

Hi all Need help, I have a strange noise from passenger side under / behind the glove box area, and I can only describe it like a hamster building a little den or scrabbling around?? Car is a 2003 Octy VRS estate Thanks in advance

I'm gonna get in on this thread before we move on. I have just got myself an Octy VRS estate (had it just over a week) and changed to this due to upcoming newborn. I also currently have an EP3 civic type r, stardard other than induction kit, had this car just over a year. Overall I can't agree more with Skinnyman. Civic out handles, out drags and def makes a far better noise. But....is noisy in the cabin, tiresome if you just want to potter to work / shops etc, and does take a bit more tlc overall, brakes are quite sensitive to keep running sweet. I used a phone app to chart my MPG, overall after 10k in a year, I averaged 30mpg. Not bad I thought! Now the Octy, love the torque, love the smooth & quietness compared, though the seats aren't as good as the type r, and love the build quality compared too, everything makes a nice thud. Before my civic I had a mk4 bora tdi for 4 years and generally not bad reliability. Hoping the Octy will be strong in this dept. but I never once worried the civic wouldn't start even if the rest of the car was tinny and plasticky! For an everyday car, I'm glad I have the VRS, easy to drive at regular speeds, will do everything I want I'm sure, but having already pushed it a little, I wanted to be in my civic. Octy was only 2/3 of the price to insure compared to type r, tax is even and parts look to be similar overall.

Hi all, Need some help in locating the black trim that covers B/C pillars on Octy VRS Estate. I got looking at another member on here (Rob's) red vrs estate, on his website http://www.pimpmyskoda.co.uk/ and he said he purchased them from Skoda as genuine OE options. I phoned my local Skoda stealers today and they have nothing listed for that part, so assumed they have discontinued them etc. Any info appreciated. cheers
