[Retrofit Rear Parking sensors]

Just done, thanks for the excellent guide. I got my kit for €9 from China. They're working well.

[Strut brace]

Try Google I'm sure I read on another vag forum some detail on making one. And yes around 2 inches from the end they are kinked slightly downwards probably 3-4mm but that's from pure memory.

Cheers. Just after posting I found a s3 breaking locally and done a deal on the upper and lower braces.

[Strut brace]

Anyone ever make a lower one themselves? I'm thinking 40mm x 4mm steel from b&q but need measurements if anyone has one lying round?

Edit, it has bends I believe....

[retro fit rear sensors]

I have to stop reading these forums, just ordered a set....only €10 though.

[oversize tip]

Maybe get some plasters if you have big hands as I cut mine up loads doing my TIP. A mod well worth doing though

Did you feel any improvement after fitting? Anyone have there's dynoed before and after?

I've been offered a perfect forge tip for €100, dunno whether it's needed after reading the forums. My car is not mapped, yet.

Fair play for the how to, I'm gonna tackle mine and I'm sure years from now people will still use this thread! Thanks

[Rear clanking noise from suspension?]

Forgot about this thread... It was a wheel weight inside the tire...D'oh!

[Bouncing lock - front passenger door]

Same here...My passenger door always locks with the key but bounces up when I use the interior central locking button on the drivers door. Interested to find a solution too!

[Rear clanking noise from suspension?]

I have this clanking noise coming from the rear passenger side of the vrs. It sounds like if you hit two thin metal rods together. I happens when driving off in first and second up to about 10mph on flat or uneven road.

I've had a look and can't see the probem, any ideas?

[Wipers will not stop - no off position Octavia mk1 vRS]

Just for future reference for anyone with the same problem. I bought this vrs from the OP. The 377 relay was the problem. When I took it off and opened it there was soot on one of the inside contacts. Sanded it off and working perfectly again.

See post number 18 here. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/149325-my-wipers-have-a-mind-of-their-own/

[Split pipe identification help?]

Thanks. I need that pipe and the junction below.

Just ordered a silicone one that replaces both pipes and junction. http://www.creationsmotorsport.com/p...ail.php?pid=16

[Split pipe identification help?]

Hi guys,

I got a EML on the dash, I haven't read the codes but a nose around reveals a split pipe on the right of the engine.

Can you tell me what the pipe is and would the split cause an EML and what effect it would have power wise?

The previous owner did point out a duct-tape repair on the top of the pipe but the major split is at a junction lower down. How difficult is it to change?

It's my first turbo...

[New Irish member mk1 vRS]

Hi lads,

I just bought an '02 vRS, my first turbo petrol. She's standard with 17's. Few very minor issues with her that I'll sort in the coming weeks.

She got some polish...
