its not a bad job to do the calliper ,carrier and disc has to come off too to gain access to the bearing hub.

when i retrofitted my cruise contol on my 06 octy there is no light which tells if its on but as tech1e says you know its working when you set it.

ah ok cool i will get it made at 2.25 inch there is 2.5 inch option and 3inch but will work out expensive as will need to be mandrel bends for that.

yeah i did see people just having the the larger dp mated to standard cat back and going stage 2 , Im going to be changing my back box to a custom made one so i wont have a centre box just a backbox but just wondered is it too much of a drop from 3 inch to 2.25 inch pipework?

Hi i currently have a milltek 3 inch dp with sports cat and the joining pipe which removes the centre exhaust box, would it be ok to have the rest of the exhaust from 3 inch to 2.25 and just have a backbox? car is soon to be stage 2 mapped.

ah ok thought it was , those leon splitters seem to fit everything lol

TFSI definately has a cambelt but the cams are chain driven in the casing gearbox end and the TSi is chain driven but not sure on the interval on chain replacement as they do need replacing as they stretch and go slack.

wow this looks very good, sits just right on the bentleys , what splitter is that on the front bumper?

i have the kenwood vbt520 in mine , and cant fault it the unit does everything and has been faultless ,and looks oem when fitted. it is true the radio isnt the best reception wise but not sure if its down to the oem aerial or amp, but i rarely use the radio so havent bothered looking into it.

29 and have owned my vrs for a year and a half and love it!

which film did you use for the fogs?

i did try removing that cap on my condensor but was very tight so left it , but not sure if they are removable or need a new condenser

i know the octavia mk2 have notorious for a/c faults , My a/c was working fine last year when we had some heat spells later in the year but now has stopped functioning , i have regassed the a/c and there is a feed to the compressor plug when econ is turned off so that should rule out gas in system and pressure sensor , the car revs do alter slightly when econ is cycled on /off , also on vcds the a/c rpm does change the econ is turned off? i think it could be fans or the compressor , the fans dont come on when a/c is pressed , but fans do work for about 30 secs but when car has reached operating temp , also while driving the a/c doesnt go cold so almost seems it a compressor fault? any ideas what else i could check ? btw car is a 2006 octavia vrs

today i say saw a silver octy vrs estate with the front lower grills and top grill done with chrome strips , front end looked awfull !

nice car just like my vrs , get the grill done black will look much better

looking very clean , used any polish on it?

i have the estate vrs and the boot space is fantastic and when seats are down its huge! i have put allsorts in the boot filled right up and has not failed to amaze me what you can get in the estate version, i agree they should have done some thing on the rear end maybe a better spoiler for the vrs .

it sure was

yeah my ring has gone on mine its like peeling off

awesome! i want mine like this how did you manage the facelift bumper fitment?

yeah my right rear has gone too!

well the car has to be tested as presented so whatevers on the vehicle at time of test is how the cars tested tyres are one of the most important to look out for on a test really ,

you will probably find the expensive jet washers will take paint off as it will be much higher pressure than standard jet washers

did you use the dirt blaster lance on the alloys ? Jet washer doesnt normally do this must have been starting to peel and avery little and the force of the water has got under and fetched it off

probably be the backplate catching the brake disc when turning
