Another Air Con Clutch thread
tarmacsurfer replied to tarmacsurfer's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Cheeky bump guys and girls? Can anyone assist on this one? Ta! -
Guys and girls. My Mag clutch/pulley on the vRS is very noisy indeed and I am looking to replace this over the Xmas period when I get some time to do this! Firstly I have the type with the bolt fixing rather than the nut (which falls off!) so can I ask do I need part 1J0820811H or part 1J0820811L? Also how do you go about getting the shimming correct and what dimensions am I looking to achieve? Cheers all and I look forward to the reponses.

Hello all Just a quick one, I am changing the alternator (squealing), already done the tensioner but do I need to replace this one too? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Skoda_Octavia_1.8_2003/p/car-parts/engine-parts/belts-chains-and-tensioners/tensioners-idlers-and-dampers/?326440140&1&fe9cd84bb19b8a7fbdec280e3278be05375f32cd&000578 ?? Don't want to have to go in there twice if I can help it! Cheers for your help as always!

Guys what 'glue' are you using to stick in the blanking plate (the one of eBay supplied with no glue!)??? Cheers! -

tarmacsurfer replied to tarmacsurfer's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Ah, sorry I didn't know this...apologies. -
Hello ladies and gentlemen I am here to gauge interest in the Eibach/Skoda Lowering Spring kit for the Estate. These were specially developed by Eibach for sale through the Skoda Dealership network. I have attached a couple of pictures below so you can see how the car sits on these springs. If you would like some more information on these kits then please PM me, or simply add to the thread here if you are interested. Cheers

Spaceback will be seen in the showrooms soon (some are already fitted, Simpsons Skoda this weekend) with Eibach/Skoda spring kit fitted and 17inch wheels... -
Hello ladies and gentlemen. I just wanted to gauge your interest on the performance lowering springs from Eibach for the Estate. These are the kits which were available back in the day directly from Skoda. However I should point out that these will not be a VW part, or carry a VW Warranty and will be a completely unique, one off deal. Yes they are the same springs and they will have the Eibach Logo and an Eibach part number on each spring. They will be supplied in a white box and there will be 50 kits available. Price has not been sorted on these yet, as this is purely an exercise see if any of you would be interested. If you would like any further information then please do not hesitate to PM me. If it is relevant to the thread I will post extra bits of information here too. I will be posting up a picture of the actual springs next week for you all to see. In the meantime have a great weekend everyone, hopefully the weather will improve!!

Rear Window Wiper Problem
tarmacsurfer replied to gibson159's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
it will be washer fluid inside the wiper motor. 3 options 1 replace 2 clean out and grease up the gears (did this to mine...works for a while...) 3 get a 25mm rubber gromit from Halfords and whip out the whole thing (this is what I will be doing next!) I would suggest you do something soon as mine eventually set off the front wipe continuously until I unplugged the rear electrical connector. -
Noise from N/S when braking

HI guys definitely not from the rear. She will be going in soon for a second opinion. I will let you all know what the outcome is. -
Noise from N/S when braking

Hi Buster, I notice when braking up to junctions but even if I lift of the brakes the noise is still there...?
