The reason my black one is back n the road is so I can use it around London. ULEZ stopped my diesel and I refuse to change the car because it’s cheap to run. So, when I need to visit London and the outskirts now, I take black VRS for some fun. I think we will be going up another Euro for 2030 now which will screw up our 1.8Ts… 😒

I'd be looking at the ECU map. Any proof of who has done it? Is it a generic slap on map? If you can get access to an original or someone that might have a deimmobilised ECU and try that.

Similar thing to me. I purchased extra's to tackle my gearbox.

Excellent! I'm so glad that you managed to fix it.

View Advert MK1 Octavia VRS CORRIDA RED (04/05) Rear Bumper x2 £100 (EACH) Excellent Condition, just been taken out of the garage. Items do have a couple of tiny scratches from storage (much to my annoyance). They will be cleaned prior to collection. - 1 Bumper has reversing holes cut into the black bump strip/bumper (after market). This will be perfect for the same replacement, or simply buy a new rear strip from Skoda/TPS. - 1 Bumper has no holes for reversing sensor. P.S. Don't ask for the bump strip, yes they are original, but they will be going with the bumper. Advertiser DeanVRS20VT Date 14/11/21 Price £100 Category Parts for Sale Shipping Estimate £0

Firstly, let me just state that there might/will be slight differences between the VW/Skoda/Audi/Seat range of these engines (in regard to the clutch master cylinder, etc). But, this guide will certainly help in learning the process on how to change a clutch and/or flywheel. Excellent work from a guy who does this daily.... And, on his back for that matter. I'm certainly addicted to his channel. Please refer to your HAYNES manual for exact torque settings and procedures. Or, see our topics on specs.

That looks very smart in Red. Very, very nice!

Welcome to the community!

I reckon the door sill and it’s creating a puddle on the bottom of the door and trickling down. So, get a bucket or hose. Sit in the car and get someone to poor water until you see it coming in.

Hi and welcome to Briskoda!

How's the car @jules68leo??

Right, so you could only spec it on an elegance, at an extra cost. Which tally’s up with the pictures above. Obviously a rare option and probably wouldn’t take much to get it retrimed in the VRS style.

It's overpriced, that's for sure. Let us know how you get on.

Nicely done. Be worth taking the whole loom out and going all over the wires and then protect it all with new tesa tape, to help stop the corrosion.

This was my original thinking. Other regions also got the rear seat arm rest, and auto wipers.

You sure it's not the clutch.. 😆 Neither of mine do.

So, I thought I'd update this post as I've just come across this (to me), the most well spec'd out Octavia I've seen. This L&K seems to have electric seats? So I gather this must've been an option from the factory, unless it has been retrofitted, but I can't see it being in this example. Multi-fuction steering wheel also, which is a nice touch. It has Xenons too.

Keep us updated mate, all the best.

It is, but some still sell to the public. If TPS doesn't sell to you, Skoda will get the same part and send it out to you.

Are the temp sensor and thermo genuine items? Our cars are known not to work well or give false warning with aftermarket version. I’d also flush the whole system and rebleed it too.

I'll change the topic title for you.

It's next on my list, I still need to finish the Fabia list! List updated on front page.

Reply with the details, and I'll add you to the list, good sir!

It’s either the 3rd time it’s being sold, or the guy that recently sold it now can’t get rid of it. Ridiculous price… 🤨

Hello and welcome! We'd love to see some pictures. 😃
