At last service in January ‘18 they were ~£50 at a main dealer. They put NGKs in.

No doubt George will be along in a bit. The stuff he doesn’t know about twinchargers isn’t worth knowing. FWIW, we bought a 61 plate CAVE vrs estate in 2015 as the wife’s daily driver. Put ~20000 miles on it since. I get the plugs changed every year, probably overkill, not bothered about the cost. It uses a bit of oil, never actually measured how much but there’s a bottle in the boot just in case. Seems to use less since switching to 10w40. YMMV. I’ve seen a misfire once in three years and that was in the first week of owning it. Never seen one since and I don’t drive it softly. That aside, it never fails to make me smile. Only yesterday, traffic light Grand Prix... the look on the face of the guy driving a Range Rover Sport. Let’s just say I ruined his day twice. Twinchargers are a lottery. I like to think more good than bad. Just do some reading on here on what to look out for. And then just enjoy it.

Just looking for any further info/history on it. https://cazana.com/uk/car/KR62VJF Did it belong to anyone here?

Thanks guys

VRS had its first spark plug change today after 16k, 4years. Looking for opinions on the condition of the old plugs, unfortunately I don't know what order they were in the engine. Replacements were NKG SIZFR6B8EG, Skoda part number 03C905601B. The car uses some oil, approximately 1L per 3k miles, so we'll within Skoda's allowance.

Do you have a part number or link for the OEM kit that you used? Thanks

Mine is one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DYOVXZ0 Worked perfectly. Just trying to figure out if coming home lights are possible... The "manual flick of high beams " wording has got my hopes up. Great find OP

Snapped it up a couple of weeks ago. 9750 miles, 1 lady owner, Skoda dealer. Too good to pass up. I've put an extra 300 miles on it just hooning around.

Mine (well the wife's) is a 61 plate estate, still on the original CAVE engine and doesn't use oil. But it's only done 10,000 miles, so plenty of time for problems to crop up. Brilliant Silver, Black roof bars, Dark Chrome alloys.

Hi all, new owner of a mk2 VRS here. How much "whoosh" noise should I expect from the super- and turbochargers? If I floor the throttle, it's pretty noticeable at low revs when the supercharger kicks in. No noticeable power loss though, the thing pulls like a train. So, is it just normal behaviour for the twin charger? I'm used to driving a mk1, where whoosh = boost leak Thanks

That was what I was getting at... £190+ is a lot to pay for clicks... But since Moggytech pointed out that the immobiliser is linked to the dash panel, I didn't like the thought of just leaving it - not without asking the question anyway. As for self cancelling stalks, I remember the BMW 5-series that didn't have one... The only idiots in that situation were the designer... And the guy who didn't ask the question "Is it ok to leave it like that?" Some things are just meant to be there!

Nice one. Thanks again.
