How much you looking for it?

6 July, 2012

Right she's running nice now and here's what i did

Replaced coil packs under recall, replaced plugs, cleaned out throttle pot, changed air filter to piper X, Added a injecter cleaner.

She pulls right to the red line

What was the problem with the old coil packs anyway?

22 May, 2012

Just spoke to skoda the dealer and they have not been changed so its booked in on saturday for 4 free coil packs yaay!!

21 May, 2012

Ok ill check in to that aswell, thank you for all your help ill report back with my findings

21 May, 2012

did you gap em properly?

No i did not

21 May, 2012

hmm if it just diagnoses no, if its vag.com, vcds or similar and he can code stuff etc, then it will work, otherwise follow longyears advice.

Yeah garage code reader, does most things i think

21 May, 2012

I think ill look in to the coil packs and air flow meter and ill put some injector cleaner as i changed the plugs last week,

21 May, 2012

the TB should be reset by vag.com if you move the buterfly (which you need to do to clean the TB properly) its basically needs a reset, its a quick fix to do, assuming you have access to the software.

Did you change the gasket too when removing it?

The gasket was in good condition so did not bother replacing it, a friend of mine has a diagnostics machine will that do the job?

21 May, 2012

Ive taken it off completely once before the last time i cleaned it but did not know about resetting anything

Just call your local Skoda dealer and quote your reg and they'll tell you instantly if you can have some free new coil packs.

Personally I think it sounds more like a dirty throttle body and or the suggested MAF problems. I have just had a similar issue with my VRS and it turned out to be the MAF, although a thorough clean of the throttle body and a half bottle of good quality injector cleaner also helped get the purry smoothness back.

I do clean the throttle body regular but someone else said about injector clean so ill give that a go.

Anyone know the part number for the replacment coil packs?

21 May, 2012

Just the plugs, but the car has done 99k and is a 2001 and skoda would still change the coil packs under warranty?

Hi

I wondered if anyone could help with a couple of issues I'm having with my Mk1 RS.

First of all i'm getting a small bit of pinking when i start to accelerate a little on low revs and when i'm over 4000 revs the car feels a little flat.

I use 95 ron fuel and i'm wondering if this is the cause.

Ive just changed the plugs recently and clean the throttle pot out regularly.

Any help would be great

Cheers Jon

Hi

For the past week the pump has been a bit noisy on cold start, but this morning there was no noise at all. Do these pumps run off a fuse or a relay? Ive looked down at the pump it looks all in tacked and dry. Are these units prone to fail? Any help would be great

Hi, ive notice in recent weeks the my car has been using more fuel than it has done. Ive changed the thermostat and before i replaced the stat the temperature gauge did flucutate a bit. Im getting roughly 50 miles to a tenners worth of fuel, ive had a diagnostics check done and no fualts found in the memory. Any help would be greatful.

Hi

i have a 51plate 2002 spec RS octavia. I was told to replace the stalk as the ecu has the the stuff in it ready to work, will it do the job?

9 May, 2009

3 of them were blown and one had a dodgy connection so the local scrap yard sorted that out

8 May, 2009

Hi

9 November, 2008

Cheers for the tips, ive found a lower mileage one for a bit more money if he takes my offer:thumbup:

6 November, 2008

Hi, i wonder if anyone can give me some guidance. There's a 51 plate with 150k on the clock i can buy. I think about the mileage being to high, are the engines reliable?
