No down sides what so ever the big plus side is nothing to fail and total your engine !! -
I’m sure the skoda is the same just it’s a larger boot so suspension parts etc should be the same , best tj8ng todo would be to find the part number of the part you need and google is see if it’s listed for the mk5 golf too
-
Few more little jobs done since this was put up, new disk and pads all round although I’ll be replacing the rears as they leave loads of break dust(and recommendations ) simple k and n air filter replacement panel filter some different alloys while I have the standard ones refurbed grill blacked out too

bradh replied to Ratcatcher's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Iv done a rad on a mk5 golf gti and I did it without removing the front section but it was a right **** of a job if I done it again I would just remove the front b7mper put in lock position and it would be soo sooooo soooooo much easier -
Fit the Audi s3 ally ended intercooler it’s an improvement over the stock one not point going twincooler unless your going for big power??

Yes you can fit the golf seat BWA into your skoda just different bilt on bits and poss different drivers Side engine mounting, do not buy an eng8ne that lost its oil pressure trust me don’t, it’s easy to swap a complete engine over then do the head daft I no but the whole front end of the skoda bolts off so makes things easier
-
Very common issue on these engine stupid position for the sensor tbh your need another whole unit as the sensor can’t be swapped check out eBay be the cheapest place to get one
