Mk1 Octavia vRS rear anti roll bar
Lex Dysia replied to tattoo_stew69's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I fitted mine as you describe for exactly that reason. It also means you don't get crud sitting in the tube section -

Lex Dysia replied to tattoo_stew69's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I had a few things missing when mine arrived even though all the small parts where in a factory sealed bag Whitelines quality control must be pretty slack. Fair play to Balance though they sorted it pretty much immediately -
I can be found at Ian Grist - London | Facebook

how to fit s3 mirrors and upper strut brace????
Lex Dysia replied to SNH's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Strut brace needs to be drilled and you can either use M8 or M10 bolts. I used M8 as you don't need to be so accurate with the drilling. You need to insert bolts from underneath and use washers and bolts above. Self tappers from above will probably rip out within a short space of time. Cant help with the S3 mirrors. Don't think there will be any gains with an S3 MAF tbh. I'm not even sure it will fit on the tip. -
Should be .1J0 253 115 R

R32 ARB DIY fitted and few bits
Lex Dysia replied to Bowders1's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Sounds very good So can I use the original bush clips with new bushes if I do this or do I need differant ones? -
Best stock up then How can anyone prove you have released r134a into the atmosphere:rofl: gotta love the authorities
-
The part number is 1U0853665A or 1U0853665A GRU if you want to buy it primed. Personally I think ebay would be cheaper. The chrome inner piece alone is about £50
-
Only the Vrs has a 19mm bar so yours will be 21mm.

:iagree: Revo ran a scan first before attempting to map mine.

The few times I have had limp mode I never got an engine light on. My intermittent limp mode was caused by a failing maf. Could be your problem too maybe.
-
The relay is the hazard warning light unit and operates indicators and hazard lights. It can be pulled apart and cleaned but I tried this and it didn't fix it for long. New unit is about £28 from Skoda. Part number is in the DIY part number sticky.

I like it Look forward to seeing it with the wheels on.

Tried re-gassing your own air con?
Lex Dysia replied to redoctymk1's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

Brake Problem - Update - Advice needed
Lex Dysia replied to GarryC's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Good news Garry, now go enjoy -
It would appear it hit some kind of electrical storm and broke up in the air :eek: Not nice. Edit: flew into a CB - electrically charged cumulonimbus clouds that come with violent winds and lightning. Aviation sources in France said automated messages sent by the plane's systems had allowed them to reconstruct events which appeared to show the Airbus broke up in mid-air as it flew through a hugely violent storm carrying 228 people from Rio to Paris.
