Need a downpipe with cat, to fit onto milltek cat back, how much and do you reckon it would fit in place of my standard knackered downpipe thats on at the minute?

Cheers for all the help too!

Good point, fitted the new ones and its running fine now, will keep on at skoda though, out of order that so many are still being done and they are telling me another story.

They said there was a workshop log at the time of the recall issue but it was never actioned? I've had no car for a week and cant manage any longer, just ordered a set of bosch ones from euro and ill fit them myself tonight. Hate to admit defeat but its costing me more in time and phonecalls.

Rang skoda and they say it is down to good will only and as it is out of warranty and coilpacks cant be done without me paying. Fantastic.

Ran the diagnostic and number 4 coilpack is knackered. Sent an email in off the skoda uk website letting them know RRG Skoda in Bolton lie like a cheap chinese watch, so waiting on a response. Also turns out I may need a down pipe as the flexi joint looks like its blowing now, it has a milltek cat back on at the minute so thought id price up the milltek downpipe. Feel sick now looking at the price! :(

Sounds like I need to find another dealer! Cheers!

Just rang my Skoda main dealer and apparently the coilpack warranty is only valid up to 10 years old and mine is a 54 plate! Its never had them done under warranty though as he checked for me, is this right or is he full of s*^#?

only done 2000 miles since last service

Will do, nice one!

Hi all, Had my VRS about 6 weeks now and its brilliant, apart from a couple of quirks its developed, which I'm hoping to get some help with. It usually does the first thing from cold, it starts fine, drives fine, makes all the right noises, turbo spins up, wastegate works but it just seems down on power. If I turn off the ignition and start it up again its back on full form and rip your face off fast? The other thing its only just started doing tonight after a blast up the road, is misfiring on tick over then sorting itself out after 10 seconds or so... Not had chance to get a diagnostic on it so don't know if I have any fault codes, or if the coilpacks have been done ever, its done 95k so I would have thought so but ill check tomorrow. Any help appreciated, thanks

Hi and welcome

I have just changed from Flux after 4 years on my VWT4, checked out insurance before I bought the VRS and it was around £300 - 400 per year wherever you went on the usual confused.com etc... I pay my insurance anually so my VW was £520 per year (which I had to haggle like mad to get down from a renewal price of around £700, bought the VRS, a standard one too, rang them to change and was quoted an additional £384.00 plus £35.00 fee to change vehicles! Where are they getting these numbers from? Flux's price for the year would equate to £904, I have just insured it with swiftcover for £289.

Hi all, my name is Pete and I'm 35 from Bolton, picked up my first Octavia VRS yesterday and its an absolute animal! Had plenty of Golf GTI's and VR6's, a handful of beemers but wanted a vrs for a couple of years now and wished I had got one sooner. Got a 54 plate with a couple of tinkering jobs to do, parking sensors and headlight washers which arent working are first on the list after a service. Had a VW T4 2.5 tdi for the last 4 years so will be good to get stuck in to something different!
