Okay, will give it a go thanks

Thanks for the concern 😂 but it's just in place of one of the plastic brackets that has snapped, the stock intake is still holding strong underneatb.

Been trying to sort a fueling issue with the car cutting into low power mode and just generally running really badly, just found this which I believe to be the canister purge valve which is emitting a loud electrical ticking noise that you can also feel if you put your finger on it. Does anyone know if this is normal or is it worth trying to replace it?

Thanks for the reply. Is there an easy way of checking all of these or is it just a case of buying a replacement?

Hi guys, This is following on from a previous post regarding fueling issues and loss of power on my 06 Octavia vrs tfsi. It was recommended I try changing the fuel filter but that has not helped. The issue is now a lot more persistent, and I am very reluctant to drive the car as it is constantly underpowered and struggling. So far my diagnostics have led me to either replacing the low pressure fuel sensor, or the N247 valve, but I'm struggling to find any info on these parts and am hesitant to order replacements without more knowledge. I'll attach the codes below, one is a boost leak code that has persisted for a while which would also be nice to sort but not high priority. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I was recently working on adding to the mod list of my MK2 Octavia VRS estate, and was considering offset sidewall profiles front and rear. Basically I wanted to run 17s on the front and 18s on the rear while maintaining the same outer tire diameter on both in order to hopefully improve corner exiting traction, straight line grip and help settle the car while accelerating on rough roads. Would the bigger sidewall on the front help with this, and does anyone have any experience with how it would affect handling? I'd assume it would somewhat help to neutralize the understeer as the front would get more grip while cornering? Other mods include front and rear ARBs, lowering springs, anti lift kit and uprated callipers. Any helps or general input is appreciated
