  1. OK switch of venue due to some average food at unreasonable prices under the new management of the Meon Hut (shame) I know Thursday the 9th September 7pm onwards but, some do rock up early. Due to a small carpark at the Red Lion I suggest we meet in the Waitrose carpark off Park Rd & walk through to the Spoons about 7.30pm All Skoda & Non-Skoda drivers welcome, partners & children welcome although, being a Car Club it may not be very interesting for them. I'll keep tagging previous attendees to ensure everyone is as well informed as can be although, please pm me to be removed from the list should it become a PITA https://www.thewestmeonpub.co.uk/ https://www.google.c...82abeebd26a1535 @timyates1989, @Xavier, @Newport91, @JerryT, @shanemeh, @andy68, @64033, @Leeboy, @dsj20v, @skodanorman, @jonbmx900, @mattsv, @JoseDB, @jcarr162000, @ZubSub, @K155BMR, @zouche, @Chris6663, @Toxicvrs, @LiamONeill, @mycoolbeard, @J45ON, @gary80, @Famous_Afro_Jay, @Bowders1, @TeflonTom, @peterhaskew, @carrera85, @146matty, @JackClap, @vrsjub, @pierst1, @fex, @solite, @jjc, @fatwomble, @kennyd32, @High4, @Mike18Clark, @Gambo, @Evans octy no:67/100, @Dave And Lolli, @Horsee, @andras.orban, @octyjosh, @lemonvrs, @Leee, @Carl Monte, @PompeyKev, @pikachu24, @V8 Dave, @Lee01, @Hyphons, @stuartvrs, @Yoss, @tamiyaandy, @hardcorehobbit, @andsoutham, @Tomote, @mk4gtiturbo, @Mustafa, @austenw90, @sigarland1987, @BJB540, @Thorpe76, @VladSoilerOfCarpets, @bullawayo, @Octy 4x4t, @Lingnoi, @Lkim13, @AndrewE, @bspman, @Chelseacraig, @jars, @flashman, @Cydermonkey, @AJ7788, @gjgrst, @JGrindel, @MissPiggy, @Hedge, @jronnquist, @CHRIS ELLIS, @Updown789, @stubunce, @@lexc, @mase101, @Chris245, @Robsskoda, @Max M4X WW, @Pullin76, @MHargr
  2. You need to talk to @SashaGrace Queen of all Mk3 mods & upgrades, does Rear cameras, heated seats, charging pads, rear USB's & everything else
  3. My MY245VRS ran 258bhp on Ron99 with no other mods, never ran it on 95 Ron & I mean ever
  4. The West Meon Hut meet #92 Thursday the 12th August 7pm onwards but, some do rock up early. I'm very please to announce the pub has food & the new landlords have worked hard to get this working unfortunately, the prices are no longer cheap N cheerful. I will be trying the new menu out & seeing if it's worth the money. Any feedback you have will be gratefully received, I've attached the current menu below Yes I've moved the day of the meets to the 2nd Thursday of the month. As the Meon Hut doesn't open Monday & Tuesday we will continue with the 2nd Thursday of the month from now onwards The pub has is some quick, interesting sections of road & a large carpark, which is why we go there & will continue to until we can find somewhere else that suits us better. All Skoda & Non-Skoda drivers welcome, partners & children welcome although, being a Car Club it may not be very interesting for them.

  5. Tesco's momentum is the best widely available fuel for the best performance from any petrol engine & at only 5ppl more, it's worth it. Vpower has cleaning additives & therefore, runs at approx 1% less power, its also Fn expensive 😭😭😭
  6. Hi Tom you've got a relatively small turbo on the 1.4tsi which does its hard work before 4k revs therefore, look for a map that works best on the torque figure. If it was a choice of APR vs REVO I'd take revo every time, APR push the power hard & early EA888 engines did pop a few turbos. Being a less popular engine, I'm not sure how many remaps they've sold for the 1.4tsi & therefore, how much development has gone into the remap. The DQ200 DSG torque limiter only limits in 1st & 2nd gear so, go for the torque map, the redline ain't the place to be running the 1.4. Only other thing you'll need is to upgrade the rear anti roll bar, more power will bring faster cornering & the rear torture beam suspension on your car WON'T inspire confidence. Good luck & have fun🤣🤣🤣
  7. Sorry, I don't get on here much nowdays🤔🤔🤔
  8. Kinda, there's a 250Nm torque limiter on 1st & 2nd gear but, 3rd throu to 7th is unlimited, my DTUK box got me to 323Nm
  9. The West Meon Hut meet #91 Thursday the 8th July 7pm onwards but, some do rock up early. Please Note. the new/latest managementteam at the Meon Hut are having teething troubles but, cold food is now available whilst not my 1st choice, I'm gonna order loads to try & support this Pub. I'd urge you to do so too, its not ideal but, without support I can't see the pub survive. Yes I've moved the day of the week to Thursdays to accommodate 1 lady member whom, has worked really hard as an Admin in other groups to arrange whatever has been possible under the rules. As the Meon Hut doesn't open Monday & Tuesday we will continue with the 2nd Thursday of the month from now onwards Its all the rules you already know, check-in required & outside tables of 6. If anyone asks, yes we are all 2 households per table, the pub has (yet again) a new Landlord so, we'll have to play it by ear. The pub has is some quick, interesting sections of road & a large carpark, which is why we go there All Skoda & Non-Skoda drivers welcome, partners & children welcome although, being a Car Club it may not be very interesting for them.

  10. Yep the MY18 vRS245 was the challenge version at the time without kessey & DDC I'm only in Farnborough if the M3 is convenient for you, more than welcome to have a look/drive
  11. News flash Eat before you come The chef didn't make it back from Portugal in time & has to quarantine 😳 But, we're fine to meet up & have a drink https://www.thewestmeonpub.co.uk/ https://www.google.c...82abeebd26a1535 @timyates1989, @Xavier, @Newport91, @JerryT, @shanemeh, @andy68, @64033, @Leeboy, @dsj20v, @skodanorman, @jonbmx900, @mattsv, @JoseDB, @jcarr162000, @ZubSub, @K155BMR, @zouche, @Chris6663, @Toxicvrs, @LiamONeill, @mycoolbeard, @J45ON, @gary80, @Famous_Afro_Jay, @Bowders1, @TeflonTom, @peterhaskew, @carrera85, @146matty, @JackClap, @vrsjub, @pierst1, @fex, @solite, @jjc, @fatwomble, @kennyd32, @High4, @Mike18Clark, @Gambo, @Evans octy no:67/100, @Dave And Lolli, @Horsee, @andras.orban, @octyjosh, @lemonvrs, @Leee, @Carl Monte, @PompeyKev, @pikachu24, @V8 Dave, @Lee01, @Hyphons, @stuartvrs, @Yoss, @tamiyaandy, @hardcorehobbit, @andsoutham, @Tomote, @mk4gtiturbo, @Mustafa, @austenw90, @sigarland1987, @BJB540, @Thorpe76, @VladSoilerOfCarpets, @bullawayo, @Octy 4x4t, @Lingnoi, @Lkim13, @AndrewE, @bspman, @Chelseacraig, @jars, @flashman, @Cydermonkey, @AJ7788, @gjgrst, @JGrindel, @MissPiggy, @Hedge, @jronnquist, @CHRIS ELLIS, @Updown789, @stubunce, @@lexc, @mase101, @Chris245, @Robsskoda, @Max M4X WW, @Pullin76, @MHargr
  12. The MY18 vRS245 Limted Edition has heated electric memory seats as STANDARD
  13. Problem you've got is the vRS245 in that age range is the MY18 vRS245 limited edition basically, the current challenge model without the button start (not a bad thing IMHO) IIRC, the list price was about 3k more than the fl230 hence, you could have problems with your budget. It's the pick of the crop though & if you're into tuning your cars, this particular car was the last WITHOUT a GPF. TBH if I was you, I'd stretch the budget & go get what you really want otherwise, you'll never really be happy. Go look at the 1 you mentioned, do it properly with an appointment & they'll be ready for a serious buyer & importantly know what the can do discount wise however, its your call. GLWP
  14. The West Meon Hut meet #90 Thursday the 10th June 7pm onwards but, some do rock up early. Yes I've moved the day of the week to Thursdays to accommodate 1 lady member whom, has worked really hard as an Admin in other groups to arrange whatever has been possible under the rules. As the Meon Hut doesn't open until the 7th of June, the 10th is the 1st Thursday this month & we will continue with the 1st Thursday of the month from now onwards Its all the rules you already know, check-in required & outside tables of 6. If anyone asks, yes we are all 2 households per table, the pub has (yet again) a new Landlord so, we'll have to play it by ear. The place does a range of cheap'n'cheerful food & drinks, its not a dive but, don't expect a classy joint either what is does have is some quick, interesting sections of road & a large carpark. All Skoda & Non-Skoda drivers welcome, partners & children welcome although, being a Car Club it may not be very interesting for them.

  15. I ragged the poo outta mine & it's lived through 42k miles of abuse. Got a dsg in my vRS245 too and they're awesome when remapped, make the car punch well above its weight
  16. Pressed metal plates, was so tempted to get the vintage black & silver for the front but, I resisted
  17. Hi Yes I know Briskoda has a search function but TBH, it's so Fn clunky might as well not be there, sorry Colin.🙄 Anyways, a link to if its already here or an explanation of how easy difficult it is would be much appreciated
  18. Rolled off or on the production line A Monday date always looks like a WC date to me
  19. Just buy the car you want, cost to change will probably be 1,500 but, its better to have a standard car than a modified one for both maintenance & resale value. IIRC, the L&K, vRS & Scout had irs & were all available it the 2.0 tdi
  20. @ajw1100 I'm so sorry to hear of all your problems with your car as I remember how happy you were with it when you came to try the pedalbox. The diagnostic data they want is downloaded from the ecu, it tells them exactly what the engine has done for every single mile. It records all the car's sensors showing the inputs & outputs. What they are looking for, is evidence that you've modified the vehicle to improve its performance which they can use to DENY paying for the repairs themselves. Sound like the WHOLE turbo needs replacing this time. This is standard practice so don't be concerned. Although I understand the convenience of car ownership (especially in your Carer role) I'd question whether a Taxi account wouldn't be more COST efficient considering your mileage🤔🤫🤭🤗
  21. Pop into a dealer & ask them to look it up for you on ETKA
  22. 2 points last service done by an indy & AROUND the 40k mark Sorry to say, they will both give Skoda an OUT as far as goodwill goes
  23. Whilst Tier4 restrictions are in force All meets are cancelled
