this may help, haven't fitted my camera yet but found this while researching how to go about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZkOjmaM5ZI&list=WL&index=39&t=27s

So Seems like its taken ages but I finally got my 19" peelers on at the weekend, wheels are used and not perfect but will prob get refurbed to get rid of curb marks closer to the summer. Amazing how I opened with the wheels when so much else has happened over the past few weeks. * Repaired wiring loom from ecu to throttle body * 4x New shocks and springs with a wee 20mm drop * New Trailing arm bushings * New brake pads all round * new tyres for new wheels * 2 x new rear brake calipers * Full brake fluid flush ( what came out looked like day 1 factory ) * new flexi brake hoses * new handbrake cables * new trailing arm bushes Still to come ( parts in just no time ) * second brake fluid flush * reversing camera * extra hidden usb charge points Next big job will be some body work, few bits id like to get painted then full paint correction and a ceramic coating .

Hey guys sorry about the long post. I only recently got my VRS but have encountered some problems and figured this was a good place to research as i have already learned so much buy reading through old posts. There has been a lot of good advise to similar issues by Shark Performance so i figured id contact them only to discover they no longer seem to be trading. Below is the message i was writing them before i discovered they were not active or maybe being a new member i am unable to PM yet but would be very grateful if anybody could help or point me in the direction of someone who can help. Hi, I am having some problems similar ( but different ) to this post https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/155671-new-ecu-required-really/page/2/ and am at my wits end trying to figure it out and wondered if you may be able to help. I have added a list of fault codes i have obtained using obdeleven to scan the vehicle at the end of this message . The symptoms i am getting which are progressively getting worse is the car is running very lumpy on start but and keep having esp and traction control lights coming on dash, the car seems to be in a limp mode and down on power not reving past 2500rpm and cutting out more and more regularly. If I pull over and restart car or scan and clear codes car might run ok for 5 - 10mins and will then flash warning lights again and go back into limp mode. At this point we have fitted the following from a know work running car but to no avail. accelerator pedal throttle body Cam position sensor and actuator My next step this evening is to remove the ecu and check for water damage but not hold much hope as all other features seem to be working ok. I only have the car a few weeks and have covered about 1000 good miles in it before this started, I know the car is definitely remapped by a previous owner but i don't know by who or what has been changed. I wonder is there a way i can tell if there is a software update for the ecu or weather you think it would benefit from being re flashed and if this is something you could do if i was to send you the ecu.

Hi All, I was having a poke around this site last night and found a lot of very useful information so have registered today and wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I purchased my 1st Skoda on Friday, Well actually I did own a mk1 vrs for about 3 hours 10 years ago but ended up reversing the deal due to an unreasonable seller. Always felt I had unfinished business with this brand so when this car was offered to me I just couldn't say no. I have always been a VAG guy with a few randoms in between, started out at 14 with my 1st beetle restoration and then did another along with a bay window van as father son projects, Later I had a fully restored and built mk2 golf 16v, 2 corrado 16v's, a mk1 sportline cab, a 2.7lux 944, a 180bhp mk4. and a passat b5.5 tdi estate. The car has probably appeared here before but I haven't come across any posts about it yet, it did have a lot fueling related problems for the 2 previous owners but after a lot of money had been spent these have now been resolved and the car is sweet as a nut. The car is a 2007 wagon with the tfsi engine, There has been some mods carried out but am still working through everything that has been done, a RamAir Kit was fitting few weeks ago and also has a rear box delete pipe. I am told it it has been mapped and does feel like it but not exactly sure what kinda power it is pushing. Spec seems great after coming out of an bmw e46 msport cab, Octavia even has NAV and Xenon headlamps which are freaking awesome. Plans so far are to get it through its NCT ( Like MOT ), New tyres and a wheel reburb... once all that is outta the way I will be looking at spacing wheels a little and a few other OEM+ touches. At the moment my focus is working on get the paint into the best condition I can.
