New shoes fitted 😃 …

Exactly the same side that I’ve got an issue with as well, it does just feel like the cable needs reconnecting.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone had this issue with the release handle in the boot that drops the seats not working? Feels like cable has disconnected, seat still drops using the mechanism on the actual seat itself.

As mentioned above this is part of the procedure to remove the switch. Other than that it doesn’t provide any functionality to the lights 👍

They’re a great wheel, the weight reduction compared to an OEM alloy is mad. I don’t have any negatives to say on them, sold them in the summer after having them for 4 years without any issue, the paint quality was very good on them as well.

They were £1200 when I bought them in 2021 back when LK Performance supplied these

That’s low miles really, my mk4 TSI vrs when I had it was capable of 42mpg+ just cruising on motorway. Petrol is cheaper as well.

Just for others if searching for wireless adaptors. Don’t use this brand. Out the box a nice little product, but due to its shape and positioning of the usb and the shape of the mk3 dashboard just up above the usb port, this will not fit as it clashes with the dash, shame as it could have been a subtle adaptor.

Little update since the weather allowed it… Front splitter on to sharpen that front end look up. Went for Reiger again, nice and clean look to it. 😎 Photo No.2

Well in a roundabout way I’ve ended up back in a mk3 VRS 🤣. Sold the 340 pretty quickly and jumped into an F80 M3 Competition which is one of the best cars I’ve owned. However, due to changes in the wife’s work (teacher wanting to drop hours to spend more time with our son) this ultimately had to go to support the her… so I’ve inherited her Rallye Green FL 230VRS which to be honest I’ve always had a soft spot for. I miss the big power and acceleration / handling of the M car but to be honest it’s difficult to beat the capability of these Octavia’s, proper solid all rounder IMO. Here it is having a bath, Titan Ceramic Coating working strong! Better photos to follow once I’ve finished tweaking it 😎

My error mate, they were 19x8.5 5x112 et43 Matt Black

I asked the dealer to switch it off permanently which solved the noise issues in the cabin, but leaves the car very very quiet due to the exhaust being so restrictive.

My mk4 had aftermarket wheels on and never had an issue with warranty work, at the time it was constantly back and forth for failed radiator; infotainment issues, failed abs module. I’d lowered the car on coilovers, aftermarket wheels and some Maxton parts. Never questioned by main dealer on any warranty work.

I had 19” Motec Ultralight MCR2 fitted on my mk4 which were an et42. Perfect fitment and zero rubbing. Car was on coilovers.

On the mk4 pre-fl it was common for the engine fake induction sound in sport mode to cause rattling / vibration sound.
