Sorry guys, been away for a few days. Will send some PMs shortly

Make & Model: Octavia VRS 2.0 TSI DSG estate Colour: White Mileage: 178,878 Price: £999 Description: I've owned this since 2017 but now have a Mk4 Octavia PHEV and a Caddy camper van, so need to move it on. It had 1 owner before me (a Skoda rep). MOT until October 2026 Condition: Fair. Main issue is someone reversed into it, so there is a crease in the offside rear 1/4, crack to the bumper and cracked light lens. Has several other scuffs and marks, stone chips etc. Starts and drives, but will intermittently misfire and throw up the EML ( but can often do hundreds of miles before it reappearing). Slow puncture to offside rear. Has been sat on my drive for a while. Some corrosion underneath noted on MOT. Could certainly continue to be driven with a bit of TLC, or stripped for parts. Comes with 2 keys. Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work: It's due an oil change service. In my ownership it's had the timing chains and tensioner done (£1k), intake manifold replacement (£800), discs and pads, recent timing chain cover and re-sealing of sump due to weeping oil (£600). Extras: Climate control, DSG with paddle shift. Mods: Lowered springs all round, raised boot floor. Shipping: N/A Collection: Yes, RH10. Currently SORNed and on my driveway Pictures:

Not that anyone is interested, but the wire had frayed and jammed the mechanism. New door card and motor required

Has anyone tried their luck at the Gatwick branch?

A few weeks ago, my passenger electric window (2012 Octy VRS) took a couple of attempts to close; it would drop a few cm, then carry on up. This morning, I wound it down and I heard a grinding noise. Now it's only 70% closed, and won't go any higher (although the motor will still allow it go down) What's the likely cause? I'm about to pull the door card, but am I going to have to drill all the inner panel rivets to see anything of the window regulator?

How did you get on removing the ridiculous intake manifold support bracket? That thing nearly broke me

Random one, but have you done a throttle body alignment in VCDS? I had similar symptoms after a map in a previous VW (TFSI engine though)

The Kenwood manual states it uses SMB, but no mention of male or female. I whipped out my unit to check, as attached. The manual also states it outputs 14v for the DAB. I've heard a few people raving about chinarf store on Ebay, so might give them a go for the cables.

I've read a few Briskoda topics on this subject, but I could still do with a bit of help regarding the cabling. I purchased a used 6R0 035 501 D from eBay, which I've just realised has the black fakra cable missing (annoyingly). So first issue is I need to source a male, black, fakra A connector, as DAB was the main reason for upgrading. Next stop; new cables to my Kenwood head unit. The white fakra for FM is currently plugged in, so I need an additional cable for the DAB, and might as well run GPS too. So...will I need 5-6m of female black fakra to female SMB? (or presumably fakra-fakra with an SMB adapter, in case the HU was returned to OEM). I've heard people mention a 90deg SMB is useful, due to space behind the HU? Then additionally, same legth female blue fakra to male blue fakra, with some sort of adapter to fit the Kenwood below?
