2.0 VRS Diesel BMN Cam belt snapped

Ah okay. Thanks for the info. It's getting looked at Tuesday. Engine turns over really fast, like no compression. Was just hoping it may have been a happier outcome. -

Hi does anyone know if these engines are interference or not. New Cambelt or is the engine toast ?

0778 Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
Wynjones68 replied to Wynjones68's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
And today, after 120 miles, in a car park in Weymouth, it cleared. No clue why but thankful. -
So I replaced my clutch and all is good except for the steering angle sensor fault. I looked an had 2 abs sensor intermittent faults. Cleared with a borrowed snap on tool. And not come back yet. Not faulty not defective just amber. Ross tech suggests it's calibrated but not yet finalised and a test drive will clear. I've done figure of 8's, battery on/off, left turn right turn drive 10yds, and about 20plus miles and it's not cleared. Anyone had this before ? Did it just clear ?

Got one from gsf for 330 Changed in the street, without a jack just lots of blocks. All done now except I have ecs abs and tyre inflation light on. Along with steering wheel light. Not a journey I'm enjoying.

Hi, I have a weird problem with my VRS Diesel Estate. I noticed the engine not getting as warm sometimes, this was after a Remap a year ago. This winter it has been struggling to reach running temp. I replaced the thermostat last week. It was busted open. Still have the fault though. So I spent most of today with the engine running. If the cabin heaters are off the engine gets to running temp fine. If I turn the cabin heater contol on even 1 bar, both raditor fans come on immediately and the engine temp drops. i've messaged the remap guy but i'm struggling to work out why this is happening. Coolant level is normal and was replaced last Oct. Is it AC related maybe?

Hi, I've a 2007 VRS Estate Diesel. It has a leak which I think is from the gearbox as the oil seems too clean to be from the engine. Driveshaft oil seal is my only thought, but I am no mechanic. There was some oil further down and around the driveshaft, which I've cleaned off. Any ideas welcome. Wyn

VRS Diesel Intake Manifold
Wynjones68 replied to Wynjones68's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Just a follow up. I fitted the Manifold from Darkside Developements 2 weeks ago. The valve had 1/2" of crud on it as did the old manifold. I'm now getting 50mpg out of a 14 year old diesel VRS. And, it is really quick. Thank you for your help guys
