Ok sir I will deffo do that- I can stop looking at bloody springs thanks to you!

Just measured ride height all around ( I’ve a new baby so have to do car stuff when I choose to ignore the wife) mid wheel cap to too middle of wheel arch ... Front passenger side new b4 strut over 40cm, front drivers side new b4 strut about 40cm rear passenger side with old spring and shock still fitted- about 40cm Rear passenger side new kyb spring and new b4 shock almost 43cm! The whole car looks like a 4x4 !! something is very wrong ....

That.Is great news.I think I may have to go back to the drawing board and strip out/start again and fit both tomorrow on hindsight I should take a proper gander at the mechanics front strut fitting and high passenger side...... as my rear original rear springs look fine- just thought to rule it out and I was fitting new rear shocks myself anyway really appreciate all of your help tonight a happy new year to you

In the past hour I’ve been looking at KYB 7201 as you have just suggested, looking up the specs etc there is nothing in it unless its the diameter of the actual spring ?? other option was Bilstein b3 coil springs or Kilen but I was sure I got the right parts in the 1st place and don’t fancy forking out another £85 ish either Kyb 7201i meant

Right.Old spring(blue/yellow) is 32.5ishcm new kyb 7021 is 33.3ishcm Only reason I bought new rear springs was mechanic fitted new Bilstein B4’s front struts and a white line rear arb for me,since then the front passenger side is higher... so I bought new rear springs and Bilstein B4’s rear shocks of which I have fitted one of each on the rear drivers side today and it looks ridiculous measured the springs this morning before fitting and didn’t think there was much in it... really appreciate your help here sir

Yep I’ll pop out to the garage now.... still going round in circles here on the net anyway!! Back in a mo thank you

Sorry Carlson ,just seen the bottom of your message the kyb rear coil spring parts I had delivered and have fitted just one of so far are :- RH7021 confusing as that’s where I was lead via previous part number catalogue but they are huge in ride height

Ahhhh legend!! I had every other last 2 letters on that part number but the one you have just shown me!! Thank you very very much-can get this suspension overhaul finished and 4 wheel aligned at last!

Hi everyone and happy new year. I bought 2xkyb rear coil springs to replace mine but they are not correct giving a massive wheel arch ride height . Going around in circles on the net so thought I’d ask you all with the knowledge btw it’s a 2.0 Tfsi Petrol if that helps Thanks

Hello and thanks for adding your info. Yes,Wino had sent me reference on 2 occasions using a site called 7 Zap. Com- A very detailed parts catalogue, a useful site i never heard of before so Thanks for that

Oops yes it’s a Gates 6PK113 v belt needed and ordered for my CCZA model 2010 Octavia Vrs Estate Tfsi Thank you Wino and I hope that helps anyone in future

Hello and many Thanks Wino- at last someone who knows what they are talking about! That part number you sent put me on the right track so I’ve ordered a Gates PK113 auxiliary belt for my 2010 CCZA model with AC. Tis a minefield!! Yes I’ve been going boss eyed using the phone, it does indeed clip info until you press info.I imagine a desktop would be better laid out. Thank you very much,You are a Legend.

Hello Wino Again thanks for your help tho as I say,going in circles, it is a CCZA engine but those schematics you have sent have 8 different part numbers/drive belts for cars with A/C 😩 Im none the wiser I’m afraid

Hi all and hope you are well. im going in circles with eBay/eurocarparts trying to get the correct alternator/ac belt for my new to me car.-2010 Octavia Vrs Estate 2.0Tfsi Thought I’d ask you knowledge bunch. Thank you in advance

Hi Wino, thanks for keeping an interest and your help. Yes the fault code was P2185 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor G83 The genuine vag part I bought to replace it with is part number 06A919501A. I will try get a photo of it inside the engine bay later for future use for people with the same issue.

Sorry, from above.look down the right hand side and then you can see it sitting perched

2010 Mk2 Oktavia vrs tfsi engine coolant temperature sensor location on the engine Anybody looking for this sensor, it is underneath,passenger side to the left of the left hand radiator fan.It is sitting perched upwards, so from looking down the left hand side from above, you can just see it with a torch.

Thank you again Wino,you have put a lot of time into helping me. Suprised but I will instead have a look from underneath, plus using your photo as reference ,hopefully tomorrow when I give her an oil change.

Thank you again Wino for your help. J.R excuse my lack of a question mark🙄 It doesn’t really answer my question tho-these same 5 minutes to find and easily change sensors (tho with 4 pins on a TT) affect so much as in rough idling/lean mpg/temperature not hitting 90 etc etc The same issue on my TT,changed,reset with vcds and I’m good to go at least twice in just over 2 years. They are a common fault code on VAG vehicles. I just want to know where it is located on my just bought 2010 Octavia Vrs estate tfsi petrol engine so I can change it for a new sensor I have just bought.I cannot see it at all. Please. Many Thanks

Many Thanks for your reply Wino and the welcome to the forum. Yes,I have a CCZA engine and the sensor fig.no.6 is the part in question that I am looking to replace. I have the new genuine part 06A919501A I do not know where to find it to replace it. J.R As I said in BOLD ITALLICS AT THE OF HEADER OF THIS THREAD 2010 Mk2 Oktavia vrs tfsi engine coolant temperature sensor location on the engine please?

Hello to all and I hope you are well and happy. I’ve finally bought a great car after much consideration for an estate for growing family- I’ve came from owning a TT so know my way about the vag engine but cannot for the life of me gone this sensor to replace wit a new one I have just bought genuine. its coming up as a fault on my scanner. Thank you in advance and great site too
