HI, a pheasant decided to commit suicide on my vrs front bonnet grill. The black plastic grill and also chrome surround are damaged. The local main dealer said he could get the surround but not the grill alone,told me i need to get a whole new bumper?? I understand the grill is bonded to the bumper, has anyone easily removed/replaced the grill and surround without replacing the whole bumper? I read you can remove the old bits by snapping them out and breaking the mounts. As they are already broken i might be able to do this but i dont want to damage the bumper. If i get the bumper removed is it just a matter of cutting the bonding then popping the old grill out? Anyone who has upgraded the grill to the superskoda honeycomb replacement how did you do this? Does anyone have the OEM part number for the grill and surround? This is for my 2014 vrs hatchback. Cheers.

I bought the car used with 6k on the clock from the dealer so it came with the foam can in the boot :(. When i bought it i asked about a spare wheel and they quoted me about £330.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I tried their website, they dont list the 2.0tdi vrs octavia. I emailed them and they said there is no confirmation from skoda about suitable replacements or there not in stock.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. How much does the boot floor lift up with a full size wheel? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi, Looking for a spare wheel for my VRS hatchback. Dealer wanted approx £330 for a space saver with tool kit, thinking about a full size 2nd hand alloy with tyre. Does anyone know if a full size alloy with tyre will fit in the spare wheel space in the hatchback boot? Also i understand i need a minimum 17" alloy to clear the front brake calipers, but does anyone know what spec wheel i need, ie pcd, offset etc?

Is this just for octavia mk3? I havent seen any references anywhere about coding abs etc. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Damn, i thought it would be simple to retrofit :(. So i definitely need the dealer to activate/code it? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi Exeterj, in post 47 i could only see 2 parts of the electrical system not the whole manual. Do you have the whole manual? I have found this info about the access code to turn cc on - "The Cruise Control may need activating via the ECU, This is a 5 minute job & can be done with VAG-COM or VW diagnostic tool 1551, 5051 or a VW Dealer / Specialist in your area. [select] [01 - Engine] [Login - 11] Enter 11463 to activate cruise control [Do It!] 16167 to De-activate cruise control" Is this the activation code you mentioned?

Any tips to successfully pay? ive tried again with different browsers and different cards but still no joy. Still getting invalid card details message. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

The steering wheel has to come off to access the stalk switches. The replacement set has both left and right stalks. Cruise control on left hand side and wipers on the right hand all installed in 1 unit. I wasnt aware of the dealer sd card for coding, i thought this was all done by vcds.

Thanks for your reply. Ive looked through the manuals in the post 42, excellent post but the full electrical system manual is not on there. Does anyone have the full electical system manual? Ive managed to get a second hand cruise control switch set and i know someone with vcds who can program it for me. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
