As far as I can remember. In order to stay open, it'll need the small little curled spring in order to spring it open. I've seen that you've replied to another post. So you may already know this. I'll try to see if I had nay photos of when I started to fix these a couples years back. This is the part that opens and closes the holder, as the grooves determine if it opens or closes with each press. Most of the time it is this part that breaks. EDIT I found my pictures, I hope it helps.

Hello good sir, and welcome to the community!

CatC… I wouldn’t pay over £800 for that. I’ve seen one without being a right off just sell for £1200. Better off going for the other x2 Red ones on there currently. Most will find these in the FB market place, a hell of a lot cheaper than Autotrader. Now for Diesel, do what Nige said. Got for a PD130. I get roughly 55mpg and I’m not a slow driver. £90 to tax for 6 months. Engine will outlive the car shell.

As above, I have mentioned the kits I used on mine. At £17 each, it's worth replacing them.

@Okvrsmk1 It's only worth doing if the car is mapped to suit. If you're just stage 1, then it's not needed. If you plan to go stage 2, then it would be recommended to upgrade. However, that looks like one of the smaller sized intercoolers, which really won't help with cooling over the standard unit. These engines would benefit from one of the larger kits. I use a THS twin pass as it keeps everything hidden and, neat and doesn't involve cutting. This is all from comments/suggestions from here and tuning companies. But, I feel a lot is trial and error. As even people have told me not to use a twin pass. So in essence, you can try it. But, a kit designed for an Octavia would be of more a benefit.

As I said, he has them all in the shop. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seat-Toledo-MK2-Front-Left-Door-Lock-Arosa-Leon-MK1-Skoda-Octavia-MK1-Actuator-/141884094312?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Hope it fixes your issue! 😌🤙🏻

Go after market, unless you want to bend over for OEM. I an a few others have purchased these ones. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Octavia-MK1-Front-Right-Door-Lock-Actuator-1996-2010-Brand-New-/133370596286?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 A year later, they’re still going strong. Well worth the price. They also sell the other 3 sides too.

Throttle body clean if it’s dirty? Sometimes the butterfly doesn’t move freely if it’s full of grime.

I’ll give you a PM. 👍🏻

Yes, a guy called Paul owned the car.

Any lights on the dash? Have you checked the coilpacks too?

I'm in contact with the owner of this vRS. Should anyone be interested in this high spec example. Give me a PM.

I've had a look everywhere, too. Maybe, @nige8021 is able to find it?

The VR6 engine fits. Someone has just done a conversion on their 4x4. It’s a lot of work and you really need to know what you’re doing. I fear that if you’re already asking, then it maybe not for you. This picture and car is owned by Carl.

I'm not sure if it's part of the windscreen (as in it comes with it, I know it can be removed)? From Bowders photo here, you can see it's attached all the way around the bottom half of the screen.

I really don’t think it’s the scuttle panel. Time to lift the carpet I think if you get time. You’ll only need to left half of it, but give yourself a few hours to remove trims and seats. The floor could be so wet that the underlay is absolutely soaking.. Example of mine:

If you buy a complete whole new unit from Skoda yes, but the pumps themselves are not expensive and they are not race pumps. But, have a look around and see others opinions and experiences. Search on Google: mk1 octavia vrs sytec site:www.briskoda.net

You’ll need to remove the whole unit, as you need to swap the pumps over. Be sure to be careful when removing the in tank pipe feed from the unit as it gets brittle.

The standard OEM unit should be fine up to stage 2. But, you can upgrade to the Sytec unit that a lot of us use on the forum. I too personally use this model for 240ish bhp.

Welcome to our yobo world! I'm such a child, but I can't help hearing the Wohhhhtshhhhh! And, to be fair, they have lasted 15+ years. And new OEM ones will last that again.

Clean up the sensor if it's working ok, clean the CTS housing too, and buy a new oring and clip from Skoda. Worse case is that it may be cracked so a new housing is needed. Easily purchased and can be had from Just German Parts on eBay.

When you're bored of the R-Tech heat shield, I'll take it off your hands. 😄👍

I'd recommend the Darkside kit and get the uprated clutch which can handle more than 300lbft.

Enjoy fitting that! Let us know if you notice any improvements.

Let us know how you get on.
