FD_VRS

Evening all, I am happy to report the VRS is back in my possession and running great. A noticeable improvement, fingers crossed for plain sailing!

Sounds interesting Michael. Welcome.

Had it confirmed the numbers and low and normal. The car seems good now. I do have proof the car is running well!! The guy who took it for a long test drive got caught out doing 80 on a bypass by a mobile camera unit. I got a surprise letter on the mat Saturday morning from their local constabulary that led to an entertaining call to the garage. . .

Right, the car has been on a 130 mile round trip on a mixture of roads in and out of traffic. No issues, no warning lights. No attempts or failed regen, DPF pressure was check and it's 0 at idle. Is this normal or should it be registering something?

It is indeed better than nothing and they didn't have to lend it so I am grateful. Although I did at one point get offered my bosses mk7 Golf GTi... Should have jumped on that offer in hindsight. Thank you again for your input. Will keep this updated.

Thank you Felvo, really appreciated! That code was triggered pre DPF replacement and haven't seen it since. Fingers crossed. I recieved an extensive update from the garage this evening. The short version is, the DPF is after market but from a reputable source. A full reset was performed along with a fresh oil change. They had been baffled as to why the DPF light came back and so soon. The specialist that was looking at it for them was sharing figures with Auto Logic for added support, who were apparently also stumped. However, they think they have pinned it down to an air intake leak. They now want to run the car for a bit to confirm the fix. So, potentially a glimmer of hope but short term I'm stuck with a Pug with an 'interesting,' biting point and first gear knack....

Hi Felvo. Thank you. DPF was £600 so doubt it's genuine. I will ask about static reset. My commute consists of 30 minutes on the M4 each way plus A roads. I would imagine so but I was going to do my own oil change anyway. When it failed before P2002 was triggered but no codes this time. I don't think it's consuming oil.

Hi guys, Considering this setup, so S3 calipers, backing plate, and hoses are a straight fit for then using 345mm Discs?

Sorry, just found your thread.

@Paulbrown Have you got details of what you bought and fitted please?

VRS update: Are there any Skoda techs in? The garage the car is with is currently "no further forward with it". I don't have any more detail than that so how much time has been spent on the car is unknown so I am continuing my own troubleshooting without the car to hand but so far the following has been replaced prior to this visit back to the dealer. DPF Pressure Sensor Temp Sensor Lambda Sensor DPF The light for DPF was still being triggered after these parts were fitted but not quite as bad as before, although I wouldn't expect the DPF light to come on a week after a new DPF. Am I right? Does anybody have any more ideas on what might be triggering the light? Update: Garage it is at are investigating EGR valve.

Hello all, Just wondered who was around in the Wiltshire area? Bristol, Bath, Swindon realm? I'm in Chippenham. Silver Skoda Oct II 57' plate VRS estate.

Cheers MicMac!

Not tried it with Skoda yet but in the past, with VW I have called a dealer for a quote and asked the dealer for the part number for my reference. But workshop manuals are good too.

Hello C, Not sure what sites you have at your disposal in Hungary but depending upon the parts you are after I tend to use sites like GSF Parts that give you options from standard to premium brand parts. https://www.gsfcarparts.com/ I have used Euro Car Parts previously but have had bad experiences with them more recently. Hope this helps.
