Hi Mate Dealers will charge you a fortune for that. In fact they would have to go to Blaupunk or the manufacturer. Where I live there is a little car spares shop who can do it. If you look in the local papers you could find someone who could come out to do it at your house and they are cheaper. But check your handbook to see if it is in there. It is a 4 number code. Check all round the books. Also I have known for people to write it on the chassis so it could be worth checking that too. Sarah

Hi There are only 2 filters that it could be 074115562 is now starting to be superceeded by the 071115562A. These dealers are dramatic. But I think you will find that all the Fabia PD engines are the 07111 ones. The 074115562 are the Octavia ones IIRC The oil if you go to a dealer they should have the PD oil in. That part number is ZGB115QLB00462 and this retails for £29.71 + VAT for 5 litres. Hope this helps you all. Sarah

Where is the REMAP!!!! Sarah

Hi We deal with Milotec I have the latest books here with the parts that we can order for you. Some are available within a couple of days. That sounds like it is coming from Germany. :( Milotec have some great bits in. Just the little touches can make all the difference. Sarah

Agree Throttle response will be better. We deal with Green Cotton and have these in stock. We can post these out to you. With Briskoda discount this would be £41.54 all in posted to your door. Sarah

Hi The paint code for Diamon Silver Metalic is 9102 This will be the same on all this colour as they have it on the Felicia , Fabia and Octavia`s. So yes this will be right. You should also have this number on the sticker inside the service book. If you still do not get it from there then the dealers could just finnish off the check for you. They have a mail computer that will give you all the info you require. But Diamond Silver is 9102 Sarah

Wow Josh Yup that would be about it. Yes the winter time has seen some more specs to the Octavia. This will be down some more strips doing some more times later in the year. So watch this space! Sarah

Have you also tied Seat dealers? They can do a search on all dealers to see if anyone has them in stock and do a dealer transfer. Or you could always try Butts Of Bawtry They have lots of parts in stock Sarah

There is a likely chance that the alignment would be out with just working on the front of the car on the suspension. Even replacing anti roll bars we do the 4 wheel lazer alignment afterwards. You would be a bit miffed if you had all that done and then your steering wheel was not straight. So for

Hi Lummox Thank you for that. I sometimes think I dream things. I seem to remember that I had a car in for warranty claim as the oil light was on even when the level was ok. All switches ok but found to be a fault on the micro switch on bonnet catch? Weired but at least I am not mad yet :confused: Sarah

Hi Mate The part number is 071115562A Looks like a lollipop Make sure that the PD oil is used too. Sarah

Hi Yes we will be here ready for your 30k service. Blimey only seems 2 days ago since you was in last :eek: Oh well we have a bigger heater in the reception area now though so it does get warmer Sarah

Wow That was a really nice write up thank you. I am glad I got the gal mention Thank you I will make sure that James gets to see a copy of this. Thank you for the kind words and as you said James can give you a smooth remap for your car. Yes as I said when you have the brakes together give us a call and we will fit them for you. The problem is at the moment we do try to help everyone but this can take time and we are looking to be able to give more time to people. We will hopefully be able then to be more individual to your requirements then and be able to assit you a bit more. Thank you Sarah

Dont they have a micro switch on the bonnet? Sure this is used for the variable service thing as it monitors when you have checked the oil level etc? Plus if the bonnet is open? Mmm dont know Sarah

Yes it does seem that some dealers do not know about servicing cars. When you take your car in for a service , get the fulkl anual inspection. There is no point taking it back 3 months after the oil and filter change for the inspection. Then the 20k service and second inspection would be due 10,000 miles or 1 year after the first one. But to let you know too that nowdays you do not have to take your car in to a dealer for servicing to keep up with warranty. As long as the garage is VAT registered it will NOT invalidate the warranty. Keep to service schedual and you dont even HAVE to use OEM parts too. But just be careful on that one , dont go on to cheap rubbish. We use OEM parts with oil from the dealers too. So you could end up saving yourself quite a bit of money through shopping about. Oh and we do a full diagnostic check as part of the service too. Sarah

Hey I know it is not nice. I have had mine just short of a year now too. I got cards when mine came through , but it was sad really. But I have mooved on now and am having a bit more fun. Am able to go out when I want too. So that has made up for things. Could do with help though when it comes to the house. He wants half and that is tricky cos I dont want to give him half. Oh well I dont think my solicitor is on my side now anyway :( Sarah

Hi To change the springs and shockers would be £120.00 + VAT.Then the 4 wheel lazer alingment £38.00 + VAT If you was to do just the springs you would be looking at the same price. But if you was to do the springs then go to do the shockers at a later date you would be looking at the same again. So that is how I said you pays your money and takes your choice. When we do the lowering springs though we do the little mod for the bump stops too. Sarah

Hi The labour time to replace the springs is the same for springs and dampers. So to that extent it does save you some money to start with by replacing them both at the same time. You would also have to do the alignment both times too. You could fit standard shockers at the same time to save money but it would be the springs that lower it. Another thing to take in to account would be the age and mileage of the old springs. If you have done close or over 40k then I would have thought that it would be worth replacing them at the same time as the springs as they would be on the way out anyway. Sarah

I have looked in to this before. If you use your car on a daily basis and do a little off road on the track it is not really worth going on to the dot 5.1 As long as you replace the brake fluid every 2 years as required you would not see much of a benifit with the 5.1 Just use a good quality dot4 and you should be ok It is to do with boiling point. Sarah

Hi That is ok. It has been noted on here that the Eibachs do seem to be a good mod. Lowering of around 30mm front and rear. It will make the shockers wear a bit quicker but if the car is new then you get your moneys worth. But just a note that it is the same amount of labour for replacing the springs as the springs and shockers. So again it is up to the individual. I would say around the 40k miles mark is about the mileage for thinking about shockers at the same time. Sarah

I am afraid I have to agree with everyone on here. It will not be a good idea to put on 2 boxes to give you increased power. Because it will not. You have been informed that the tuning boxes will just overfuel and that has been mentioned many times on here. So by adding another do you seriously think that it will make it faster? I dont think so. There is a reason why tuning boxes are cheap and that remaps are more expensive. So you pays your money and takes your choice. I am afraid you will not get anyone on here to agree with what you are doing. If you want advise , you have had the advise and that is dont do it. Good luck with your quest for cheap power. If you do get to find out please let us all know. Sarah

http://www.custom-code.co.uk/content/view/1045/72/ This is what we can offer you. Surely THIS is better than pumping alot of fuel with both them cheap mods. It will effect your CAT if you pump unburnt fuel like that. I cant believe that you are prepared to risk damaging the engine like that :confused: Sarah

There are 2 sizes. 288 and 312 you would find out for sure with the PR code on the service book. 1LT or 1ZC are the codes. If you could find out then I could tell you for sure. Sarah

Hi If you had the 20k service done last year then I suspect that you will be requiring a 30k in respect. This would include the oil and oil filter replacement. As for the technologies that the dealers have it is VERY good. But I have seen here some real horror stories as to what the dealers have done. So in thar respect it is ok to have the technology but need someone to work it. We have 2 technicians here who can put a 1.8T engine in to a Skoda Felicia Fun. So I think that yes our technicians know how to use the computers that they have. The brake fluid is required every 2 years. So if you had the 4th year service then it would not require this until the year after. I was a service manager for a Skoda dealer for 4 and a half years and 1 in sales. So I do know the cars well. We also have the respect for your cars and do treat them as if they was our own. All that on top of £40.00 + VAT labour rate then you should know that you are getting all the benifits in return. Sarah
