I can only find how to program a key fob, my spare key doesn't have any buttons, its just the basic key.
-
I decided to try my spare key for the first time yesterday, it opened the doors and started the engine for a couple of seconds and then cut out, the key light was flashing which I presume is the immobiliser light. The main key still works perfectly fine. Any ideas?

My passenger window has decided to stop working from the switch on the passenger door, the window will go up and down fine from the drivers side. I also checked the switch which seems fine.

I am thinking of changing the front ARB bushings to Super Pro, can anyone tell me the size or a part number would be even better, also is it worth doing? I recently replaced the standard wishbone bushings with Super Pro and didn't notice much of a difference. it's a Mk1 VRS running standard suspension
-
Thanks Guys, I think I will leave it standard for now
-
So would you recommend a decat along with it or stick with the standard set up

As the title says, what kind of BHP gains would I get from a cat back exhaust, there is a company near by that will supply and fit a magnaflow cat back for €350. I already have a stage 1 remap, K & N induction kit and SFS Oversized TIP. The car is running 204BHP at the moment

Knocking noise after wheel bearing change
Aidan84 replied to Aidan84's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Thanks but I think it might be something else, this morning was the first time I have drove on the motorway since the wheel bearing change. it doesn't feel right, something feels loose at the front end, I could feel something knocking under my foot. I'll have to bring it back into the guy that done the work on it. It's hard to find a good mechanic in Dublin -
Hi All I recently had the front wheel bearing changed in a local garage, they also changed the ball joint as the old one was corroded. When I was driving yesterday I noticed a knocking noise coming from the front when I pressed the brake while turning. Any ideas??

As the title says, will this induction kit fit my VRS?? I plan on upgrading the filter http://www.ebay.ie/itm/381732973518?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Recently noticed this pipe was hanging loose in the engine bay, i now have it stuck with some insulation tape which has stopped the jerking at half throttle. Does anyone have any info, price or part no for this pipe

Results 4 hours of claybar and meguiars spray on detailer
Aidan84 replied to Aidan84's topic in Styling and Car Care
I don't mind spending a few quid if it does the job, i dont have much experience with car cleaning products, this is the first motor i have really looked after. Is there a wax that does protdction and extreme gloss? The meguiars stuff seems to be good. Changed the front end and another quick wash this weekend -

The QD was just a trial, I would like to wax it before the winter. What wax would you recommend?
