Who wants to swapvfor a MK3?!
PhillipAshley replied to PhillipAshley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
The map was from Shark, it was a claimed 300-320nm although I never had it on a rolling road. I had Nokian Line on the front which I thought were decent grip, you still had t be careful though. Im not sure any tyres would keep the front from spinning when you plant your foot -

Yeah both mine are/were 7sd DSG, Really happy with the fuel consumption on both. I deliberately went for the 16inch wheels for ride comfort also, may swap for bilsteins when I've got some money! -

Hmm, think I just need to get used to it, still pretty annoyed about the car being written off I suppose. Hope no one was injured in your incident -

Yeah true but the stock torque was meant to be the same. I've noticed a big difference in throttle modulation I found my MK2 to be very sensitive and responsive, I'm finding I'm having to work the throttle a lot more. I gave the dash a good wipe yesterday and it's not so bad, I still prefer the MK2 cabin and I'm definitely site at having less equipment. I am impressed by the 5 star safety rating though and the steering feels good and light. -
Hi, Are these still for sale? Thanks Phill

Had a mk2 FL 1.8TSI estate (stage 1) and i loved it! unfortunately someone arse-ended me at a set of lights and it was a write off... Just bought a 2015 Hatchback 1.4TSI SE as its replacement as this was within my budget. Well Ive got to say i prefer the MK2!! I honestly think the MK3 feels cheap inside, and its no where near as quick, I know my previous was mapped but its not a patch on it... Just needed to get that off my chest! Phill

Hello, noticed one of my bump stops has partly disintergrated. I looked for replacements on eBay and found a lot of choice! Are all bump stops pretty much the same? Are they one size fits all? Oh yeah, gonna get some MAD helper springs too if that will make a difference? Many Thanks Phill

PhillipAshley replied to PhillipAshley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I asked for a break down of parts used and cost so I could try and tailor the quote, but they just replied with this Parts: £ 491.86 Labour: £ 599.99 ( 7.9hrs @ £75.00 ) VAT : £ 218.37 TOTAL: £1310.22 So, my next question is is anyone able to provide a list of minimum parts required so I can tailor the quote? Provided Skoda co operate with my request.- 28 replies

@TheClientCheers, no record in service book, car had minimal use and was looked after by one dealer. It would be in there if it was done I think- 28 replies
