Goodbye, and I loved my vRS :)
VRS_White_Hatch replied to VRS_White_Hatch's topic in Hellos and Goodbyes
A Cupra Formentor 310. Similar performance to the VRS if your doing 70 and floor it, but off the mark its very sharp. The 4WD and auto box just work, without using launch control you can just zip away with no wheelspin or wheel hop. Boot is smaller. Heated steering wheel is great in winter. So much tech I still dont understand how it can drive itself - yes really - but then nag you to take the wheel. I've yet to try the self parking. -

The wheels went for £300 on Ebay, the roof bars I still need to get round to advertising. -

Hi everyone, I shall still visit occasionally as I like the site and the chat but the vRS has been traded. I had it from 8 months old until 46 months, not a single fault. I went through tyres, did my own servicing and thoroughly enjoyed driving it. Chipped to 300 it was a beast but you just couldn't get the power down until 3rd or more. I have a set of saloon roof bars I need to sell - used 3 times to transport ladders, and a set of 18" alloys with winter tyres. I'm going to look if I can put them on here, but I'm not a paid up member so I suspect Ebay might be the answer. Thanks to everyone who posts for making the site what it is. Skoda make great cars. I only got one person make a Skoda joke - and would you believe he drives a Dacia Regards Rob

Hi, After 4 great years of fault free driving the vRS has been traded in. I'm left with a set of roof bars that attach inside the door. i've used them 3 times to transport ladders for my property business. We generally use my brothers vehicle as it has built in roof bars. OK I admit it, It's a Dacia. Anyway I digress, They are Farad roof bars. They cost £110 new. Anyone want 'em for £50 before I stick em on Ebay? In Warrington Cheashire. Collection would be best.

Try it and see how it goes. Probably sound better and make it feel faster. Obviously post a pic!!

Pipercross panel filter servicing/cleaning?
VRS_White_Hatch replied to mattievrs's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
For anyone searching Pipercross I used one from nearly new on my 59 plate Saab, its still fitted now, my son-in-law has the car. gets cleaned and LIGHTLY oiled every 2 years. I fitted on to my Octavia at 8 months old, its coming up to 5 years old - no issues. They do work but don't over oil. -
I fished round and purchased some Manol stuff from Ebay that met the VW spec thinking it was a good saving, where in fact the dealer price for the genuine stuff was only a couple of pound dearer anyway. If you buy from the dealer they will use your reg to get the correct spec oil.

This thread should be read by all. Had me crying with laughter. The exerts I read out to my wife she didn't find at all funny.

Worrying that those looking for the Penis museum (and not being able to find it) read English.

MOT and Service time again
VRS_White_Hatch replied to Markos72's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
MOT day for me, straight pass, nothing of concern. Winter tyres proved fun in the snow too. -
Paddy was sauntering home late at night from the pub because his wife won't be home. She always goes to her sisters when he goes to the pub and gets back really late. He hears a "PSSST" and sees a woman in the shadows. 'Twenty quid ' she whispers. He'd never been with a prostitute before, but he decides what the heck, he has the time. Plus only twenty quid. So they hide in the bushes. They're going 'at it' for a couple of minutes when all of a sudden a light flashes on them, it's a police officer. What's going on here, people ?' asks the officer. I'm making love to my wife,' Paddy answers indignantly. "Oh, I'm sorry," says the cop, 'I didn't know it was your wife." "Well," Paddy says, "Neither did I, until you shined that light in her face."

TSI Stage 1 remap and DSG torque
VRS_White_Hatch replied to SeeJay's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
MK3 manual with a superchips 300bhp map at 10 months old, second MOT due December and no, I haven't had a new clutch or gearbox. Getting the power down in 1st is impossible, second difficult and 3rd can be tricky. After that its easy! -
The "Specialist vehicle disposal or recycling charge" will be the next tax. Electric vehicle owners will have to pay a tax because of the environmental impact of their vehicles at end of life.
