Agreed and given the option i would much prefer the one in your pic Phil than the standard one in the back of my estate its much better looking
-
Not sure as im gonna make it now Rash the cars still up on stands, new disks and pads are done its
the arb bushes that are giving me grief
If i get done in time ill be there if not next time matey
-
Something ive been asking myself for sometime is a custom remap worth the effort on a 90BHP TDI ?
Its certainly no slouch given the weight of the octy and quite surprised me when i first got it but always after that little bit more
-
Did you buy the ebay mintex brakes ?, i need to get some pads and discs for mine.How are they going ?????
I havnt yet recieved an answer to my email asking which model they fit as the listing is somewhat contradictory so no not even purchased yet
If or when i do ill let you know but ive got to do something soon as my disks are not good at all :(
-
Agreed !
Theres one or two like that round my way and i know where i would like to stick there raspy horrible pipes
-
Might give you some inspiration -
Nice touch that Stu finishes it off nicely
-
Looks good nice job makes me even more determined to do mine
-
In my MKI non PD i used mobil1 supersyn 0W-40 its fully synthetic and conforms to VW 505:00-01 (available in halfords)
Its a bit on the dear side coming in at about
-
I noticed in my local halfrauds they were doing a free aircon check
with a regass coming in at about
-
The TDi has different front brakes to the 1.8T 4x4.
Thanks Ross
I think ill have to contact the seller to see exactly what it is he`s selling
If you look at the listing the disks and pads are for a 1.9TDI 4x4 and also it
states
"FITS THE FOLLOWING
SKODA OCTAVIA 1.9 TDi
06/1996 - ONWARDS
ALL MODELS INC COMBI"
This is what had me assuming they are compatible with mine so i think a quick emails in order
-
How long did it take you to do just the EGR as im considering doing mine inc the intake housing as well
-
Thanks chaps i think ill go with the mintex then
-
pull really hard!
Steve`s right but with a little care if that makes any sense, had one like this on a citroen that
snapped half the thread off cos it wouldnt budge it caused more problems than enough as the
car was being sold the same day
So as a complete contradiction be tough but with care and it should come out
-
I need to replace the front disks and pads and have a couple of questions
1.
Im considering these FRONT DISCS & PADS they seem to me to be a fair price inc P&P from a well known make for standard replacments, any thoughts on these ?
2.
Im assuming these 4x4 disks and pads are the same and will fit the MKI 2WD as it quotes "all models inc combi" is this correct
-
mmmm thats what i was afraid of cheers Phil
-
Apologies for the double post as this is a question ive got in the items wanted section but thought it will get more of a viewing here as i need an answer to this
can anyone confirm that the octy MKII Sport alloys will be a direct fit for the MKI or do they have a slightly different centre fitting
cheers
-
Yep ill try and get along and have a look as im only just under an hour-ish away

I got completely ripped by one dealer, but I can't recommend another highly enough.
Some dealers are ar$es about things, others are flexible, which means I will go back even if it is a tiny bit more.
That is so so true ive got two dealers where i am and could quite happily set fire to one of them (in a manner of words) for there complete lack of interest arrogance ignorance outright rudeness and stripping the thread on my sump plug just for good measure
whereas the other are brilliant very helpfull knowledgable and are always happy to go that little bit extra without being asked so im happy to travel that bit further and pay a bit more if it comes to it
Such a huge contrast in companies within a 20 mile radius of each other

See i told you my russian was rusty
-
Nice looking motors it will be interesting to see them in the flesh
I find the references to mini metro`s during the Scout review a little concerning and wish my russian wasnt so rusty
Not sure if they were comparing or saying its nothing like or saying weve welded a metro bit in here

water was leaking under the cd changer (there is a connection between pipes here)
Cheers for the heads up on where to find this joint sweedish ive been suffering from a soggy bottom and its had me going for a while
Quick look under the cd changer and lo and behold a puddle, it must leak through from there somewhere as the wetness has been soaking into the floor panel
sorted now nice one
-
My appologies John for the mis-information Ross was spot on as usual as i found out when checking my other halfs fabia last night
Thats what you get for assuming it would be the same as the octy
Glad you got it all sorted anyway
-
Hi John
Theres a sleeve around the fuel filter holding it in place by a long threaded nut and bolt with a crosshead top on the engine side of the sleeve which you need to loosen to remove the filter, no need to remove it completely as the filter will slide out of the top when loose enough
Daylight will help you here
Personally i would replace the fuel line clips with jubilee but the other clip is reusable

Same 1st to 2nd when cold problem here too
Are there any recommendations on which is the best gear oil to use for this box as im changing mine at the weekend ?
