seems like the cracking noise comes from inside the A pillar, the one near the steering wheel, at the middle of it, close or near the place where the parking plastic transparent clip is. i can hear it between 1500-2000 rpm under acceleration in almost all gears. it sounds like a plastic or clip vibration proportional with low acceleration. anyone had it? it drives me nuts.. mihail

thanks a lot for your help. will probably go with trw but i am not ruling out brembo (i ll check for an offer). mihail

hi, i need to change my front+rear brake discs+pads and after lots of searching i found the codes, can anyone tell me if they are good? front discs 1K0 615 301 AD rear discs 5Q0 698 451 F front pads 8V0 698 151 C rear pads 1K0 615 601 AA also, what do you recommend? i saw most of the guys prefer ATE or TRW. TRW seems to be cheaper but the brand option for skoda octavia vrs. i could also get the OE but that is twice the price.. any hints please? regards, mihail

thanks a lot, i guess i will stay with the current one then. just thought it can be done via vcds. by the way, nice car you have and the virtual cockpit is something spectacular. mihail

hey after 3 years with a 2013 octavia 3 combi, 150 hp dsg and 150 000 km on the clock, with modest equipment i bought a very nice diesel vrs with 85 000 km on the clock from 2016. it is such a nice car, lots of options compared to the old one and a very nice ride (rough but joyful). i also attached some pictures, will add more. couple of questions from my side: - the lines of the reverse camera are fixed, they don't move with the steering wheel, is there any way to make them move? - i have a small cracking/cricket noise somewhere in the middle left part of the interior, next to the steering wheel. i can hear it mostly on acceleration between 1500-1800 rpm and i can't find it's source. anyone with any hints? thanks, mihail
