Hi Do you still have the car, I’m after the rear passenger window mechanism, not the glass. Mine keeps chewing up the cable so I think I’m gonna just replace the whole thing. thanks

Yeah that’s worth a look. Thanks

Hi all, i have recently changed my front wishbones and track rod ends with brand new standard parts (meyle) for the MOT. Ball joint and rear wishbone bushes were excessive play and it seamed easier to replace them as a whole rather than trying to squeeze new bushes in. Car passed the retest, but now I have a knock coming from the front end. Also when reversing on full lock I also get a knock. Have I messed up my steering rack (struggled to get a stubborn track rod end off and ended up cutting it off and using abit of brute force) or something else. The drop links were only replaced last year, a long with the arb bushes inc all collars etc from arb.i have double checked the ball joint and wishbone bolts but these seem pretty tight. any ideas? thanks

Rear brake problems / compatibility
djsunshyne replied to djsunshyne's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Hi, yes I already have them fitted, but it hasn’t had any effect. My main issue is, it was a brand new caliper only 6months ago and has started to seize already. The lever is pretty stiff even after dosing in wd40. The other side, also replaced at the same time is fine and moving freely. But thanks for the suggestion. If I’m having problems now after this time frame it’s not gonna last long. I think my best bet is to send it back and get the manufacturer to either replace it or repair it. its just annoying as I now have to find a temp replacement whilst I wait for this... -

Last summer I replace both rear brake calipers as the drivers side was binding. Now however 7 months on the drivers side handbrake lever is seizing. i have been in touch with the supplier (Ebay purchase) who has advised there is a 2 year warranty on the part, but it would need to be sent back to the manufacturer (through them). The issue I then have, this is my daily driver and I use it everyday. To send this back I will need to find a temporary suitable replacement. can anybody please advise on what other rear calipers I can use in the mean time. its a mk1 Octavia vrs 53 plate. thanks in advance.

Check around the inlet manifold for any split pipes and hoses sounds similar to issues I had recently -
So what you been doing to your VRS lately?

Thanks for the heads up, I had a quick check for split hoses when I put the new maf on and couldn't see anything. I'll have a proper rummage after the weekend.

Just to close this tread if anybody is interested, I clearedall codes and rescanned the car and it came back with a MAF issue, can't remember the code now, but said there was low signal from the MAF. So went to My local ECP and picked up a replacement Bosch MAF, cleared the codes again and all seems good. Haven't been for a proper run in it, but am sure it will all be fine. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks you, I'll go and give it a blast and see what it says.

01314 - Engine Control Module: Check DTC Memory Possible Causes Fault(s) stored in Engine Control Module Possible Solutions Check Engine Control Module for Fault Codes Special Notes Engine Control Module stored a Code which influences other Control Modules Functionality. To clear this Fault Code you will need to correct the Problem in the Engine Control Module first. This is what it says in Ross tech wiki. Also can you elaborate and explain alittle more about how to test the MAF please yellowcar
