  1. Raceland coilovers fitted today. Couldn’t be happier with the drop
  2. You were spot on pikpilot. Got a look at it today. Orange with rust and a broken wire. Found the leak also. Two rubber grommits at the top of the bootlid where the water runs off the roof. All sealed up again. will get a look at the wiper tomorrow cheers guys
  3. Can someone point me in the direction of how to test for a break in the wiring between my switch and the rear fogs. I have a multimeter but unsure of which wires in checking changed the bulbs twice. the orange light illuminates on dash but not on the switch. the rear wiper has also stopped working at the same time? thanks in advance
  4. Hey, can anyone photoshop Bola B10s onto my octavia for me? Please and thanks
  5. Thanks for the reply. Yea probably best. Thanks again
  6. After some googling i believe your correct. It has become brittle and split. Should i just buy the original part again or can i cut the pipe off and fit a piece of similar hose i may have laying around?
  7. So i was cleaning my engine bay, noticed a pipe thats split at both ends and air is hissing out of it when the car is running what is it?
  8. Hey brothers and sisters. I have come across a picture of a golf with the VW helios wheels on. (Same as mine) The difference is the centre caps are chrome. I have tried every wheel refurb company in northern ireland and no one can do it because the centre caps are plastic. Can anyone tell me where to get this done or where to buy them? Pleaseeeee
  9. That looks great altho a pain in the ass come MOT i bet having to change it? When u say sound great on boost.. is it loud? Can u hear ur car coming from miles away? Lol. I quite like all the pops and bang you hear from the likes of st focus, leon cupra etc. Does this make any?
  10. When u say downpipe.. does the rest (cat etc) remain standard? I remapped to Stage 1 and i think its really quick. Not sure what bhp i have atm tho.
  11. Thanks for that. So what do u recommend for Stage 2? Just the exhaust and intake? Il have a look at the exhausts today
  12. Hi guys, im looking to have my 2.0 tfsi mapped from Stage 1 to Stage 2. Im going to buy a cold air intake, hpfp and a 3” turbo back exhaust with sports cat (resonated). Can someone advise me on a cheap exhaust? Milltek is beyond expensive. Cheers
  13. 50mm vogtland springs. £104. Over speed ramps is a bit bouncy but no scuffing or rubbing. Handles better round roundabouts at speed. I think it looks fantastic. Perfect gap all around. Would recommend
  14. Got the car lowered today. Really pleased. Ended up going for 50mm all round. Looks the part. Now just to get some skoda centre caps
  15. Fitted the wheels this afternoon. I think they look great on. I didnt stick the VW centre caps on. Im going to source other ones. But it definately needs lowered asap. Im not sure another 35mm is going to make me happy. Maybe coilovers are the answer.
  16. Thanks for the response. Your car looks great. Im so undecided lol. Whatever i choose il post pics cheers
  17. Hi, I have just purchased 19" VAG style Helios alloys. Going to have them fitted over the weekend. I need advice on lowering. I want the car to sit low but dont want to have to avoid all speed bumps etc. I also dont want to have to change suspension parts every few months due to being too stiff. I have gone off the idea of coilovers and settled on getting springs. From what i have read H&R 50mm springs seem to be the answer. Anyone any good advice? I want the car to look like the pic Thanks Chris
  18. Hi, I am going to order coilovers for my Octy and i want peoples advice before i do. What should they cost? Do i need shortened droplinks etc? Wheres the best place to buy? Thanks Chris
  19. Sorted. Disconnected the battery for an hour or so and a short drive up the street and the ESP and tyre pressure lights went out. All is good again. Thanks again
  20. Yeah my old one ended in C. Just before i changed it, it put the engine management light on so il have to arrange to get it turned off. Assuming its an overboost fault
  21. Fitted this diverter valve today. The difference is night and day. Altho the old one didnt seem to be split. No obvious signs of a tear in the orange rubber. But its made a hell of a difference. All the low rev torque back. Spins the wheels very easily. I feel as tho i have had another 50bhp added. And no stupid dump valve noise. No whoosh when decelerating. Good result.
