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. 😃

Did you fix the cage in using the tabs? Radio then shouldn't move if it's clipped in. Side note: moving to projecta area.

Looking really good mate. I do love a VRS Estate! Side nice, moving this to the project area.

Correct. 👍🏻

I get happy feelings with a clean bay. Inspiration (mine)

Now detail the engine. 😁👍🏻

Let the original owner completely spec out the car. 🤣

Quite rare that! Must be a very early and basic spec version to not have electric windows. I’m not sure if other models share the same parts, Golf, Bora, etc. Also worth looking on eBay and going to a few scrap yards.

When you do miss daisy/old man driving you can hit 48MPG. Taking it with a pinch of salt, but it shows what you can get if, one sits at 60mph. 😂

They would. You can always check the part by ringing TPS and see if they can order them for you.

Both equally as good. You’re redeemed.

The only thing I’d worry about is puddles. You don’t want water being sucked up into the intake. Just something to bear in mind when it’s chucking it down.

I’ll pretend I never read this…

Plenty of guides around. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/175-skoda-octavia-guides/ Here's one for the doors -

If it hasn’t been messed with, that what standard power feels like. When I went to stage 1 on my black VRS, the difference was shocking. Purely because of the amount of torque that was gained from a Shark Remap. I’ve since gone stage 2. But, I have a completely standard VRS and it’s almost painful to drive as there is no get up and go. It’s just like a you say, a linear power delivery). It’s that noticeable that even my PD130 feels quicker because I have more torque being a diesel. So I’m finding it more fun to drive. My stage 2 on the other hand, is completely different, but there is still a limit on torque, which is around 300. My PD130 would get 280/300 ft-lbs from a stage 1 alone. I never planned to get the Red one mapped. But I’ve since found out that it was previously mapped by Ben at Shark, but has since been removed and returned to stock due to the the last owner complaining of poor MPG. But, in the new year I plan to see Niki at R-Tech and just have a stage 1 on it.

It may also be worth buying some new bolts for the liner. As you can bet that the ones on there now will be rusted and, you may need to cut them off. You can get bags of 10s/20s of them so you can replace them as you go around.

The wheel does need to come off. Invest in a jack as it’s well worth the money.

There’s also a chance you only need the clutch and not the whole kit. It was most likely that a new flywheel was installed with doing the SMF.

£900?? Have you got a 6 speed? As the 02J setup (5-speed) is only £350 without vat? I paid £400.28 delivered when I got mine.
