Hi, H&R rarb inexpensive and fantastic mod imo, eibach lowering springs and Centre resonator delete makes it sound really quite nice but not to loud. HIDS as lights are shocking!

Hello Gumby, hope to see you and your new Skoda at another meet sometime.

Yes indeed a reasonable result in the end. They could of been funny especially as I had a little tinker myself putting the pipe back on the best I could!!

All sorted and okay now, I spoke to the mechanic that done the service and pointed out to him which pipe he had missed, he was very apologetic. I received some Skoda goodies as well to try and sweeten me up a bit!!

Oh no now you have given me something else to worry about haha . Yes I really hope so too, it is a bit worrying!!

Yes it was! Bristos Skoda in Ipswich. To be fair to them there after sales and service has been pretty good and I have never had a problem with them before.

On the plus side I got the garage to keep my old spark plugs to inspect, as my car is remapped I was interested to see what condition they were in and I am pleased to say they looked pretty good. Also my car was a bit of an oil burner, not terrible but still got through 1 litre in 1500 - 3000 miles but managed to get through the whole year using just 500ml in 7500 miles of mixed driving.

No need to apologise at all, your advice helped me find and sort my problem. My test drive went well and seems to have sorted it out but yes I will be contacting the garage as I need to get the warning light removed so I will get them to fit the pipe on better especially as they caused the problem in the first place and my tools and ability with these things I am not totally confident with lol. Thanks again for the help LGM

Thanks for the help Awayoffski And yes it was a main dealer!

Thanks LGM, I hope you had a nice lie in lol, it is only nutters like me are up stupid early on a Sunday morning. It was the pipe underneath the air intake!! It wasn't even attached! I did find it very difficult to put back on as the pipe didn't seem long enough to get any further on but I done it the best I could, now going out for a test drive to see if its done the job. Thanks very much for your help

Yes they were replaced!! Thankyou that gives me just the information I need . Is it possible to correct this myself do you know?

Hello all, Yesterday my Vrs was in for a major service and on collection I was told everything was fine. As I started it up I thought it was revving a little higher than usual but didn't think much about it as it had just been serviced, on the way home every junction I stopped at my car carried on revving high, then when I gave it a few more revs I noticed that it sounded as though it had air escaping somewhere. Stopping off on the way home I restarted my car and the revs dropped but the warning light for the control system for exhaust stayed on soon to be followed by the revs going to high again. I will be getting in touch with the garage as soon as they open Tuesday but was hoping for some opinions or advice as to what might be wrong. Have I just been unlucky or have they messed something up while servicing?? Thankyou Stug

That's great thanks again hutchysrs50, link worked fine and I will be ordering and getting it sorted soon as possible.

Thankyou very much, the cover caps look great but I still can't find the lift cylinder jet even with the part number, where did you get the part number from??

They were an option that was thrown in when I bought my car.

Hello all, I have had one of my headlight washer covers break and fly off somewhere and on inspection one of the lugs that holds the cover onto the jet head is broken. So I wonder if somebody knows the part numbers for the jet head and a colour coded cover please, or if anyone knows somewhere else I can get these parts from? I have tried searching on here and Skoda parts but I am having no joy!! Thanks very much

H&R for me but I would say that as that's what I have and it's brilliant, 25mm and only £170 for amazing handling compared to standard, Bargain!!

Thought In would revive this thread just to say I had my center silencer/resonator removed on Friday and I am so happy with the improvement !! Lovely sound , some lovely rasps ,farts and even the odd pop at times. No adverse affects at all!! Even for a middle aged man it put a smile on my face, just wish I had done it ages ago!! Even better my local garage (Holbrows in Hadleigh) fitted and balanced four new tyres and done my exhaust for £70.50, Very pleased with them and the job they done.

I have put some masking tape on the rear seat fasterners as they were rattling and also sometimes my seat belt clasps/connecters sometimes end up touching and create a really annoying rattle so I just pull them apart a bit. Good luck sorting them and let us know what they were

You just can't believe the difference it makes for a relatively small amount of money, don't just be tempted, do it !! No more understeer

Got mine from Awesome GTI. Here's a link for you - https://www.awesomegti.com/shop-by-brand/h-r/h-r-rear-anti-roll-bar-25mm/

I agree with all Furbytom says but just to say I have had a remap done by AMD Essex and I am very happy with it, my car is a 2011 CAVE uses oil but not to badly and getting better with age. I also have Eibach springs and an H&R RARB and I wish I had done them as soon as I bought the car because they in my opinion transformed my Vrs for not much money.

Lovely Thanks

I can't seem to be able to vote on the new poll and it's showing me no one else has either so are we all having the same issue? Or is it just me?!

Hi Gumby, June dates for me also and as I can't make the National meet this year I hope this does go ahead.
