Hi, Just noticed this on my car, it sounds like there is a grinding/metallic scraping type noise coming from the engine bay (passenger side perhaps) area. At idle the noise is consistent and rhythmic and happens around every second. If I apply the throttle (out of gear), the noise occurs quicker as the engine RPM rises until around 2.5-3krpm where I can't hear it anymore due to the engine noise being louder. Also happens in gear when driving the same as above. The car has FSH. Any ideas please? Thanks.

Thanks guys -
Hello, Looking to replace the brakes and pads on my Octy vRS (2010 FL) model. I've read some conflicting information about sizes and unfortunately the sticky at the top of the page doesn't have the sizes at present. Can somebody please confirm the sizes of the front and rear discs for me? Cheers

Speeding up Bolero SD, possible solution
Yohan replied to kprida77's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Well, bit the bullet and paid Skoda Aberdeen to update it. An hours labour :( Scanned it again and it's now at Version 054 so I assume that's the latest for that model. Plus side, SD card is flying now, music starts playing as soon as the ingition is turned on -
Octy Mk2 2010 - Switched live wire for rear camera
Yohan replied to Yohan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Cheers guys. I have a Nextbase 402G on the front which is great quality. A couple of months after fitting it, some **** on their phone rear ended me. Couldn't prove he was on his phone, with a rear camera I could've. Was just thinking about getting a cheaper Nextbase variant for the rear as rear enders are usually fairly conclusive. -
I think Revo are quite conservative with their figures. HOWEVER, I'd be less worried about peak numbers and more interested in seeing dyno curves for how that power is delivered. More area under the curve will make for a much nicer driver/quicker car all round.

Fuel Filter Change Octavia 1.6tdi CR
Yohan replied to cainy3's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I would just use an OEM filter, cheap enough from your local TPS branch -
Morning, happy Friday I have a dashcam in the front of my car which takes a switch live from the fuse box. Nice and easy. I've decided I'd like a small dash cam for the rear as well. Just wondered what the best options were in the boot for taking a switched live (comes live with ignition on)? Cheers

Turning ESP Off (2010 Octy vRS FL)
Yohan replied to Yohan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Weird, it makes no sense why they'd behave differently. It's the "indicates a control cycle has been activated" bit in the manual that confuses me. -
Hi, Trying to turn ESP off on my Octy Mk2 vRS (2010 FL model). Firstly, the button in the centre console is the car skidding icon which I assume is ESP. Secondly, pressing the button once does nothing, I need to hold it. When I hold it, the ESP (car skidding light) on the cluster starts flashing. In previous cars the equivalent would stay lit. This goes against the Skoda manual as well which says flashing "indicates a control cycle has been activated" but helpfully doesn't tell you what that is. Car is 100% fault code free. Can somebody explain please? Cheers

Wheel alignment post anti-lift kit fitting
Yohan replied to Yohan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
SuperPro is about £35 more, same as the Whiteline price roughly. -
Wheel alignment post anti-lift kit fitting
Yohan replied to Yohan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I was going to be ordering from Awesome but I've decided to go for SuperPro instead. They have more reviews with no complaints. I'm sure PowerFlex would be fine though. I just wondered because if they try to align it to factory spec then obviously the caster will never line up. -
Do Octavia IIs need to be "de-locked"
Yohan replied to Yohan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Thanks. I normally put new batteries in the key fobs at the same time. If the car battery dies then it won't be getting driven anyway. -

Switching from LongLife Servicing to Fixed
Yohan replied to Yohan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
So this has grown arms and legs since my original question If I may interrupt this discussion briefly, how does one change the servicing reminder back from longlife to fixed? I can't find this in my manual. Thanks -
Here's a Darkside one;

I thought the same so asked Al at Awesome GTI, he assures me the Powerflex kit puts everything in the same position as the Whiteline variant.

I'm used to the older generation of VAGs (Golf Mk4s etc) where it was wise to fit a de-lock kit. Is this something that is still recommended on the newer models?
