Seen this recommended on the Briskoda FB page the other day, looks a steal for this price! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281903204584?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT -
Personally, I would`nt bother with a decat. I`ve gone for a bigger downpipe and sports cat on mine(ebay special) as I really could`nt be bothered with the hastle at MOT time. You are spot on, the best gains are with a bigger downpipe, as this is what`s most restricting on a Mk1 vrs

I`ve got a downpipe and sports cat as I can`t be bothered with the bother come MOT time. It`s the downpipe that`s more restrictive on the vrs anyway, not so much the cat. Car feels a lot more responsive, sounds great, and spins up the turbo faster

I`ve heard that if you put a small blob of silicone sealant at the base of the window in the channel either side it stops it? Can`t vouch for this, as I`ve not tried it yet though.

Check the above, and if you have a sunroof, check the drains in the A-pillars and behind the rear wheels.

I`m getting mine done in a few days, including water pump, alternator belt, and brake fluid change for £380 at a garage near me. Did`nt think that was too bad.
-
Yet another vote for the drain tubes, mine were blocked earlier this year, caused quite a considerable leak in the drivers and rear passenger footwells. The front ones are In the A-pillars about halfway up, I pinched them and managed to poke a small screwdriver in there, problem solved. AFAIK the rear ones come out behind the rear wheels.

Run amplifier powercable engine to boot

Surely this is a joke? Crazy idea, don`t think cables like that are designed to be run UNDER a car!!I Would never do such a thing. -

As Paul said, remove the glovebox, and it`s about level with the top of where the glovebox would of been. I`ve recently done this myself. Don`t forget to run your power cables one side, phono in the middle, and speaker cables on the other side for less interferance. -
Welcome back, best colour too. #Teamblack :clap:

Mines a Mk1 Octavia vrs, and can vouch for Pagid, not heard of Meyle stuff sorry. I`ve got Pagid discs and pads on the front of mine for the last 2 years, and they`re superb, and barely look worn! so much so, I`ve now got a set for the back to install very soon

Anybody Used Slick 50 engine treatment?
VeedubyaGTi replied to johnrowley's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Years ago in an old 100k Renault 18 with a big end knock. Added a few cans of this before trade-in, quietened it down no end
