  1. I've taken boost logs with an eBay cable and non registered VCDS Lite, so you should have no problem. (I think I logged group 3, 4, 11, and 20, all separately but I think I read somewhere that logging more than 1 group at once decreases sample rate) Still worth registering though for AutoScan and adaptation in case you ever need it Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
  2. PITA to find if you search for handbrake return springs or something like that. Luckily I have my laptop in front of me and I think the most helpful/long thread I used was this one:http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/137832-handbrake-cable-issue-on-my-vrs/ Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
  3. I used these when I changed my rear discs and pads the other week: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281968456598&alt=web They're the 1K0 springs which take quite a bit of force to compress but they fit and do the job rather well. If you have a search there's a fairly long thread showing the different types and how they look fitted etc. I'll pop out to the car and grab a couple of pictures if that'll help Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
  4. If you try putting the key in the drivers door lock and turn and hold the key in the unlock position then both of your windows should go down. If they move then you'll know it isn't the motors and it should be a switch/wiring problem. (and to put the windows back up just turn and hold the key to the lock position ) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  5. So it turns out I'm terrible at using my eyes... Didn't have more than a 500ml bottle of water to see if I could see where the coolant had gone but RAC guy filled it up and saw water pouring out of a hose [emoji4] Time to see how much skoda want to (over)charge me for a new one. And to scare me again, when I stopped off at sainsbury's to buy some bottles of water to keep in the car, I start it up and the coolant light comes on again... Open expansion tank, release the pressure, level back to normal... Probably time to order some pd150 head bolts while I'm at it Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  6. I've had my vrs for about 6 months, and it's not been the kindest to me. Since I got it, I think it's been suffering from head lift (which I only read about last week). I normally don't have to fill the coolant up too often, maybe a little top up each month and when the coolant light comes on I undo the cap and the level rises back up. But after driving about 10 miles today, the engine had fully warmed up,and a load of white smoke came out of the back. So I dropped it into neutral and rolled to somewhere I could pull over and, as expected, my coolant light started flashing and beeping at me on the way. Popped the bonnet and a fair bit of steam came out and the expansion tank was completely empty. RAC are on their way but is there anything this could be other than the head gasket? Cheers, Adam
  7. Any chance you have the trim piece between the two doors, passenger side? Not sure what it's called but this piece is what I'm after, the top bit that the seat belt comes out of: Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  8. Any chance I could come and get these tomorrow? Should be able to send you a pm after this post just in case you haven't seen this Cheers, Adam Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  9. I'll be coming back down Gloucestershire way on Friday until Monday morning. At £40, I'll definitely drive over to Swindon to pick these up. Can come and get them whenever over the weekend (from about 7 Friday evening), just let me know when's good for you Cheers, Adam Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  10. Yeah, that'll be great, thanks. Can't send pm's yet (I think), but do you want any sort of deposit? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  11. I can take these off your hands tonight if you have them in Leamington. Should be able to collect any time after 7 if that's good? Cheers, Adam Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  12. If you're free today I'd like to come and see them as I'm in Gloucestershire for the day. (First post on the forum so I can't reply to pm's) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
