Moved to correct area.

If I had the room, I would've saved this. I had an admiral blue one which I chucked nearly 100k on. Bought it for £700, with 136k on it. Used it as a work horse. Redone all the door looms, with motors and locks, ripped out interior and wetvac and put it back together. Milltek Exhaust system, vRS alloys. Best of luck with the sale! P.S. If you ever want to sell some stuff separately from the car if it goes to scrap, let me know, as I'll have a few parts off it, I'm not to far away for collection too.

Golf handles should fit, but it's best to double check if you can. And, unsure on the audi.

I can't imagine it leaving the factory without a bulb or soldered led. Does it look like its been messed around with?

Good to hear you've sorted it, any pictures?

Good practice is to replace the thermo and cts at the same time with genuine parts. You'll then want to fully bleed the system, ensuring there is no air in it. I can go straight out on to a 60mph road and the system is up to temp within 5 minutes. Other than the above, I can only think of it as being a wiring issues. If you can get the garage to do a scan and check the measuring block, you can go from there and try and hunt down the issue.

Depending on how much you love the car, haha, you could pretty much replace all the baby stick with the standard grey cloth. Anyone breaking an Octavia could sort you out.

I doubt you’ll find the horrid baby sick colour these days as it doesn’t appear to be a very popular choice. You can however get the black/grey ones from Skoda-Parts. This will have to be imported and you should be fine as long as it’s under £130 I believe. https://www.skoda-parts.com/catalog/octavia/spare-parts/body/doors-and-door-parts/front-doors/door-seal-355.html

That’s it, at his own admission he is terrible at getting back to people including me. 😂

Kieran, if you are on any of the FB groups, seek out a guy called Gav. He breaks them all the time, and I’m sure he’ll have a couple on his shelf.

Welcome and nice to see a Favorit!

@Funkyfin2001 and updates, were you able to find the issue?

What don't you set up a project thread? We can then keep track of your progress! https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/207-octavia-projects/

It's not as simple to just swap them, it'll need to be read using a eeprom program to get the code and reflash it on a new cluster. It's possible that the ECU has been modified and had the eml coded out.

Any from a MK1 will fit, if you want the dark ones. You'll need a very late 2003 or any 2004/2005 vRS. Or, a L&K with the grey lining.

You'll have a K03s turbo, found on many variants of the 1.8T. You shouldn't have issues finding a replacement. However, I would be more concerned about the health of the engine if any of it got starved of oil.

Hello and welcome to the community!

While everyone’s entitled to their opinion, I think the way one has chosen to express it is unnecessarily derogatory. It’s one thing to prefer another website, totally fair, we all have our preferences. However, t’s another thing entirely to come into this community and trash the site in such a dismissive way. If the roles were reversed, I’m sure VerticalScope the owner of the site you prefer would be thrilled to know one of their members was out publicly belittling other communities online. That kind of behavior reflects more on the individual than on any platform they’re talking about. There’s always room for improvement in any community, and thoughtful, constructive criticism is always welcome. But this kind of negativity doesn’t build anything, it just tears down. If you’ve got suggestions, let’s hear them. If not, maybe consider the kind of energy you’re bringing into the space. We’re all here to make things better, not bitter. Enjoy your site, and don’t let the door hit you backside on the way out…

It's the default setting. There was a discussion about it in the Octavia section, and there is a guide on peoples impressions of setting up the best sound. It might be good to try a few different settings and see if you can get it improved. As for the sub, they're pretty week... I set the sound to the front speakers on the Octavia with an EQ of; 6+ Bass 0 middle +2 Treble +7 Subwoofer Canton Surround off. Here's the guide in the Ocbtavia/Superb sections Of course, this is all subjective. So play around with the settings, and you might be able to pin down the vibration somewhere. Also, aclot depends on your source of music. I always prefer .Flac files and bring hardwired for the best sound in the car.

Heard of it before, so it's not new. As for the Canton, play about with the settings and be sure to turn off surround sound. Some of the new Fabia's and Octavia's without Canton sound pretty good.

Hello and welcome.
