Dont use dm keith leeds they tryed robbing me sent car in for dreaded dpf filter rang me back a hour later wanting £3500 for 4 injectors new dpf and said my turbo was goosed and my center console bushes needed replaceing. id never asked them to look over my full car. Picked the car up took it to mass performance got the dpf removed and a new injector for a grand. Nowt wrong with turbo

worse car ive ever owned and had a few skodas. started the other week when i broke down number one injector fooked was not paying 450 quid plus fitting for one so got a recon one half the price. since ive got the car back it idles ****e judders in low gears now and again dpf light always comes on. only good point is im getting 55-60 mpg still. theres no engine lights coming on no faults showing on computer. can any one help

Just to let you all know got the car fixed turned out it was a coil pack and 4 spark plugs couldnt belive how much the plugs were a tenner each and 35 for the coil pack the cars running a treat again

mines not been mapped it was a ex cid cop car and is the standard 1.8T 180BHP but i will have a look at what you have said thanks mate

With my vrs been a ex cop car ive got a printed sheet off all the work done on the car and noticed it had a coil pack at 47000 miles the cars now done 78000 miles doesnt sound a expensive job if it is the coils

Thats what i thought and hopeing the problem is

Been out in the vrs today then all of a suddern coming home the car started juddering from the front end and the engine management light started flashing. The front end juddering at all speeds and on tickover the engine doesnt sound right. As anybody had this happen to them before and what the problem is im not wanting a expensive bill before i take it to the garage

the bottom bolt on the front shocks are a pain to get off just done mine and needed a blow lamp to heat the bolt up and it come off then

Just done my front ones on my felicia 1998 1.3L got them for 78 quid for the pair delivered off e bay the front shocks are all the same fitting for the falicia range 1994-2001 they fit the faverat too

There about 120-150 quid on ebay for a bosch one dont buy a cheap one

yeh i gather they would be heaver on fuel

Hi All just wanting to know if anyone else out there pulls a caravan with a mk1 octavia vrs and if theres any bad points

Hi all I bumped my 2002 octaiva vrs last week had a complete front end fitted. the garage have just brought it back today. On first impressions i thought great job untill i took the car for a spin and noticed the engine management light came on. when the guy dropped my car off he showed me the list off parts that have been fitted i noticed on the list they have re gased the aircon put me a new airfilter and box what the air fiter is fitted into. none of these were damaged in the bump and cant understand why they have changed it also the raditors been off but not changed just woundering if any off these jobs they have done could have set the light to come on i am awaiting the garage to ring me back to take my car back in and look at the fault to see if they have caused the problem

Hi Mine 2002 vrs seems to be making the same sound mine seems to do in 1st gear when you let your foot of clutch too quickley.

Just to let you all know ive replaced the oil cooler today job done car serviced and running like a dream
