Wll my 56 Octavia VRS have rear break pad sensors? The light has come up on the maxidot to say check pads and not sure if its front or rear. After a little bit of research I cant find any mention of rear pad sensors but would just like someone to confirm this for me. Thanks Andy

The air box is located at front right of engine bay, Air filter is accessed by unscrewing about six phillips type screws, liffting off lid and removing filter. I have a K&N panle filter and in all honesty noticed no difference to performance or mpg Andy

Hi All, I have a 56 Octvaia VRS and I need to reaplce the passenger side front fog light. I have removed the trim around the light but cant see anyway to releae it. Do I have to remove the bumper and if so how easy a job is that? Any help and adive would be much appreciated Cheers Andy

I have pulled the surround off and it appears that I cant get access to the screws without removing the bumper. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to remove the bumper? If so, how much of a ball ache is it? Andy

Thanks for the responses. Managed to pick up a brand new unit from ebay for £15. Next question, how easy is it to fit? Does it pop out of bumper or do i have to remove the entire bumper? Andy

My passenger side front fog light decided to have a fight with a rock and consequently lost. Its a Mk II VRS. Does anyone have ane recommendations on where I can get a replacement and what the cost might be. Im guessing this may be a dealer part only?? Thanks Andy

Hi All, Hi have a 56 plate vrs TDi and I am considering having the DPF removed. However have a cpl of questions hope you guys can answer. 1.) How much bhp/power gain can you expect? 2.) How much improvement do you see on mpg? 3.) Does it have any effect on emissions/MOT? 4.) How much can I expect to pay to have the work done? Thanks in advanced Andy

Headlight washers will not need to be working for the MOT. It will be possible to disconnect them but not sure about re-programming the way the work. Why do you want to disconnect them anyway? Andy

My Octy VRS TDI is on varibale servicing and according to the maxidot it is due a service in 1400 miles. Was just wondering from peoples experience how accurate the indicator is and how much it can change between drives? Secondly, at one point does the service indocator start flashing up? Ta Andy

Are you using the CD player built into the radio and not the disc changer? The disc changer will not play mp3's

If you are desperate to get rid of them autoglym do a tar remover, that will shift em

Hi All, Looking to buy a performance panel filter for my 56 Octvaia PD VRS TDI. Anyone got any suggestions/experience on which one to go for (K&N, Pipercross etc) All seem to be similar sort of price so would be interested in your comments. Secondly, if anyone has happened to upgrade to a full induction kit and have a spare performance panel filter lying around I may be interested in buying it off you. Ta Andy

If it helsps with getting a price match, I got my done at Derek Slacks in Middlesbrough

About a month ago my engine management ligt came on, the way the car drove was not affected in anyway and the following day the light went out and I thought nothing of it. A couple of days ago the light came on again and again the car was not affected in anyway and I started it today and it has gone out. Whilst it was on I rang my dealer so I could get it plugged in. Now it has gone out will the fault code be stored and show up on the system when it plugged in? Anyone else experienced this or know what the cause may be?? Cheers Andy

I have just recently had it fitted to my octy, and I now wondered how I lived without it. My local skoda dealer only charged me £160 though. Andy
