my front seats creak quite heavily when i throw the car into a corner (throwing the driver the other way). living with it at the moment, if anyone knows if theres anything i can do I'd appreciate it.

is this problem intermittent? and when it happens does the light stay on for 3-4 engine starts? is the car accurately reflecting the engine temperature? i.e. is it slower/faster to warm up in the morning? does the fan run after you have turned to car off? I had this problem a while back with a 1.6 octy, engine temperature sensor was fritzed and needed replacing. Go to a dealer, diagnosing this fault cost me over €500 in two garages before finally going to the skoda dealers. the sensor cost me €25~ and labour was 60... kicked myself afterwards for not going straight to the skoda dealer. This is a weird skoda problem and the dealers will fix it quickly... if anyone can. incidentally, a friend of mine had a slightly different one where it would come on under heavy acceleration, not OTT acceleration, idle to first acceleration... turns out the new tyres she bought were two different sides and this was reaking havok on the ASR sensors

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Wise advise when I got my VRS...

Ok grand, so its a sand / repaint or should i replace them? Thanks again.

I know the octy's are covered for 10 years'ish for rust etc but does this also apply to the calipers? I noticed a 1c size chip and rust behind it on my caliper last night :(

100k? You did well there mate. Mine made it to 90 and failed as I drove onto the forecourt for a service! I recon it was a conspiracy! Anywho, I've always been told to replace both.

Do you like it? It's all personal preference, I bought the vrs for it's wolf in sheeps clothing traits, so to me a spoiler larger than stock is not for me. All the power to you though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thank Christ! I was worried there for a second! Ah well I'll stay cool with my dials instead!

Me thinks the original owner of my 05 vrs mk1 was a bit tight and went with the aircon with circular dials instead of said climatronic. I've seen a few of these on ebay, is it a straight swap between the climatron and the three circular dials mount? If not anyone fitted this after purchase? e.g.

rolleyes?!? thats a bit rude :P

im nearly sure the head unit came with this plug... weird.

what have you placed in your lower grills? looks awesome.

what issue? I have a bluetooth sony xplod head unit and its perfect. goes right up to "11" and the "loud" setting is awesome.

looks great!

i feel robbed of my right to review... :(
