I believe that just connects to the metal pipes on the side of the engine. If you remove all the airbox you'll see the pipe where they usually say cut the pipes from instead of having to move the whole bracket. Should be in Bowders guide for reference.

Braver than me doing that. It's not something I want to tackle, so props to you! Let us know if you notice any difference.

Very common issue. Check the door seal and inside/behind the door cards to make sure the plastic door coverings are in tact. Double check under the scuttle panel (both sides) as there are two small bungs which you can see straight into the footwells. Drivers side should be the bonnet release cable and the passenger side will just have a bung if it's there.

A very warm welcome to the community @Vixxi!

Ordered/Registered/Collected list for the MK IV Fabia. So who is going to be the first on the Briskoda community to order?

I’m a stickler for OEM, so I would’ve gone to TPS for a new one. As much as I know you pay for genuine, I’d rather do it right once.

Welcome aboard. I think personally if that was me I would be looking at the new hub, in order to make sure of a good fitting and to eliminate any potential all issues down the road.

I would’ve bought an Audi. Skoda are the absolute worse for road noise, even with the quietest sounding tyres. I ended up getting so sick of it, I fitted my MK1 with sound deadening on the floor pan and it helped a lot.

Not in my estate, I just left it with components. However, in my VRS I did the full setup with crossovers and tweeters. The unit is inside the door panel and the twitters are standard size to they fitted straight in. There no issues fitting the speakers as long as you get the correct size, there should be a topic that Rob made about the right size/depth.

This is something I’ve been looking into. I found a simple (decent) head unit made a hell of a difference, even with the standard speakers. I upgraded the front with some spare components I had laying around (never used) and that improved things even more. I thought about the corner rear boot stealth sub and upgrading the rear 6x4s for improved sound. I have yet to get round to the sub, but my next upgrade will be the rears and I think I’ll be going for some rockfords. I’m going to try these and see how they sound and I may possibly amp them to improve further. But right now I’ve just replaced the HU and front speakers and they sound decent.

Check out my post of my MK1 Estate L&K (out of my 2 VRS’s and this estate) as this has been the worse for water ingress. I did the same process on my Black VRS and added sound deadening too (no topic for this car yet). But don’t let the older cars put you off as its done well to server you 14 years. It just needs some parts renewing.

Make sure you post in the MK2 section if that's your car, as this is the MK1 section. Make sure your car isn't mapped as this can also cause flat spots.

Welcome @Miket1984 and we hope the forums are being a great help with your MK1. Enjoy!

Hello @Scudddboy and a very warm welcome to the community. Be sure to post a project thread!

Welcome to the community!

Welcome back, and it's good to see people showing the love for the older MK1's. Enjoy!

When I get some free time I'll amend them. Thanks all.

Hi Tom, and welcome to the community. We’ve got the MK1 Octavia section for help and the Projects section to show off your car. Enjoy.

Welcome to the modern world. Simply paste the direct link to the image which will end in: .jpg, .png, .gif, etc, and it will automatically embed and show the photo. Uploading pictures remains the same.

Topics merged as there is no reason to have two.

So I'm on the hunt for one of the original SkodaAuto Telephone Preparation Kit you could get when spec'd. This is what it looks like - David. A. who owns the above picture had his from Factory. I have some part numbers but can find anything online about the unit. They do come in various models to fit various Nokia/Motorola and Siemens phones but, does anyone have one lying around or know where I could get the complete kit from? Also, does anyone have any more info on these?
