I selected these after going thru the Octavia VRS forums on FB and this was a popular choice. Firmer but bearable I would say. H+R and Eibach Pro were the most common springs alongside OE shocks, although the H+Rs seemingly do go a bit lower (especially at the rear) and are firmer than the Pro's.

B4s are the standard replacements and I went with these and eibach pro on my 64 TDI VRS, they were a great combo. A bit lower than standard but still comfy enough. Throw on wheel spacers and the clubsport RARB and it felt really good. I have a 68 VRS tsi now on standard everything until the warranty is done and it feels boat like in comparison 😂

@Michaeldavis39 I couldn't believe it but now I might regret not buying B4's over the last weekend. Which ones did you opt for?

Came across this thread by chance and so glad I did! I have had my 64 plate TDI VRS hatch for just over 2 years and the boom was so bad especially at lower speeds round town that my youngest even mentioned it to me. I had fitted the harmonic damper as previously mentioned here obviously to not much avail and had just learned to put up with the noise. So when I saw this thread I became interested in it again. I happened to jump back to page 50 and saw the comments on the boot stoppers and possibly adjusting them so thought I would give it a try. They were sitting sort of half way so I adjusted them last night to as high as they would go. Unbelievably it seems to have worked for me, the booming has all but stopped, one of the lucky ones. The only thing now is it makes the clanking noise coming from the rear suspension a bit more noticeable. 🙈 That's next on the fix list!

I will need to look into this too, my front interior lights come on when you open the door but very faintly. If you press the switch in the middle it flickers and comes on full brightness but as soon as you take your finger off the switch it goes dim again! 🙁

Nice to meet you yesterday Wagster and thanks again for your help with the cable and the advice regarding the rar file. Radio reception is great and the maps are all sorted and installed. Much appreciated..Happy days!! 😁

That is quite literally nuts! I finish work at 1600 but could be through for 1630 if that is any use?

I'm in Elgin in Moray, so maybe more Northeast than North but unfortunately as we have an IV postcode still classed as the Highlands. I'll nip in past Halfords tomorrow to see what they have, maybe try a couple of pals first too, for all the second it should take, thanks again.

So the 30cm Fakra to sma arrived today, couldn't wait so fitted it and it made a notable difference to the GPS signal straight away. 👍🏻 I also ordered the dual fakra to FM yesterday and unbelievably it arrived today too. That's doesn't usually happen in the North of Scotland!! So now all I need to know is how to connect the blue wires.. what a noob!🤦🏼‍♂️😂 I'll need to trim back the blue coating on the wire at the radio side but what do I need to actually connect them?? Every day is a school day... Thanks

Thanks, that's great, I've ordered one of these. I have the heated windscreen too so that maybe explains my occasionally sketchy radio and GPS reception! Do you still have the link for the double fakra aerial connector and I suppose it will be better with the blue power feed too? Thanks for all the info folks! 👍

This is the cable I ordered to connect to the factory gps, but I don't think there's any way at all it will reach, it seems to be wildly short. The blue connection is in the glovebox quite a bit away from the sma on the rear right hand side of the stereo (steering wheel/right-hand side). Any suggestions or handy hints on how to get it to reach would be greatly received before I look for longer replacements..TIA. Cheers.

Just a wee update.. I went for a quick spin round the block earlier and the speed was now reading correctly and changing from kmh to mph on the main screen, the firmware update obviously did the trick! 🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏻 I was also going to cut the 2 wires to prevent the battery draining as well but had a look and they looked to be connected differently to the diagram so thought better of it. The red and orange wires on the diagram look like they go from one black block to the other but mine go black block to white canbus block. Waiting to hear back from Junsun again..🙄🙈

So I have been out and cannot find the themes app anywhere.. is it possible I have deleted it?? I did a bit of juggling about when I first got it but feel like I may have uninstalled it! 🙈 Any idea how I can find it or re-install that app if need be? And after a couple of days unused I have the low battery warning for the first time...it is all happening today On their website it explains to cut the red (ACC) and orange (light) cables on the main block if you have canbus, has anyone gone ahead with this?? {picture below} Also the unit booted up again and the radio stations needed setting up again, the memorised allocation had been lost. @bryan008 Junsun have let me know that the 4 pin usb that we have connected to the headunit from the main loom is for carplay and the front camera only so if you don't use those you can take it out. I have disconnected it and connected the spare 4 pin usb instead for updating the firmware and it updated fine and the basics all work fine still. I will need to go and add all the other details as I had previously. @nickytheshaft I had a look for the OTA options and couldn't see anything of that description and ended up updating the firmware through the usb. The firmware was dated the start of December, I take it to be the latest version?? The only thing I could see was MCU Update on the factory setup. Is the unit type on "about device"? It had MCU : TS-G5.201021(H) would this be it? Thanks again for the advice 👍 Cheers

I usually toggled between driving data and phone and found this the handiest when needing to call someone. I will just get used to using the head unit I suppose . I will try the plugin for speed tomorrow, many thanks
