That’s very good of you to just swap. Would be the full seats for me only, whilst my black and white seats are very good they are hard to keep clean hence why I cover them all. Leather is so much easier to keep clean IMO. I actually have my fingers crossed for your MOT result Jimbo, would be great to keep this one on the road.

Glad to hear it’s got a new home. Did it stay in the Brisky family? are they going to keep it as standard as you had, or mod to bits?

Disconnect the battery for half an hour see if that helps. But the above are also valid points in those posts

Glad you have it back to how it should be. Happy motoring. These 1.9s go on for ages. Rust was the only enemy I had at 250k onwards. Had a hard motorway life. If you can protect underneath do it.

Get wheels on balancer at a different garage to usual. Before removing weights to see if anything out

Wait for someone more knowledgeable but calipers and carriers and disks. There is a sticky on this forum by Ross I think.

Start with a new battery only £85 delivered for a 096XD heavy duty from advanced battery services site.

Cars are being broken all the time. Facebook is one place and eBay. If it’s a hatch doors from say cars maybe compatible also. One word of warning if it’s a facelift or pre-facelift the wiring loom will likely be different as I found, 3 connector blocks or 2. The only thing is if you have manual or electric rear windows which the vRS did not get installed electric.

170 I don’t think you will miss the furby power, think this is plenty for the large car. I have both an S2 and a vRS furby both fun in their own right. The boot and rear leg room is huge. For me the S2 and furby always need something doing. In contrast my Octy 2 was the best for build quality and reliability. This forum is really a great source of info. Good luck and happy motoring

Looks lovely from the pictures. Welcome to the S2 family. What is this a TSI or TDI, BHP, Manual or DSG. Those alloys look like the SE 17”. Will be a lot more comfy than factory 18” best compromise of comfort and looks IMHO How many miles ? Columbus nav @pab567 can help possibly I am surprised the boat is more economical than the vRS furby diesel I don’t think I can help with any of your issues but I believe that blue tinted glass is very expensive, if that’s what you have fitted?

@pab567 knows all about these very knowledgeable

That’s a real shame they are very nice motors. Are you sure you can’t repair the affected issues keep the car going. Are you interested in just a straight swap or something on top for the trouble. Where are you located? I must admit the only dislike for my standard 55 plate vRS is that light interior, all my very good condition seats covered only 83k on the car. My first cars had a seat surgeons leather retrim when I got it. I know why now. I am interested in wheels and interior depending on location.

The wiring loom between the door and body. Do a search it’s very very common

Not sure on your model worth doing the Slave Cylinder whilst car is apart if inside gearbox.

What issues are you facing ?

Somewhere near the front right of the engine. If it’s one of those fool the car thinking it’s cold and over fuel ?

I could make the first Superb Harlequin, remember those ? https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/yourwagen/magazine/polo-mk3-harlequin-edition.html

Beats this look

lol, no it was a hatch. Totally mint too. Maybe I could go with a mix and match look 🤕

Thank you The difference is Aqua Blue vs Shark Blue. Maybe some changes introduced as part of the green line range or facelift depending when they came in.

This is what they quoted me as the paint colour, but when I compare car pictures they look the same in a different light

@Breezy_Pete are you a master in such areas or is that just the Fabia 1 Forum you excel ?

No it was done by an Indi. It was a very long time ago pre 2008. I think about £300. I suppose cambelt kit would be an idea at the same time, yes

I had something similar on a mk3 golf TDi only when using the car on the motorway did coolant expel from the expansion vessel leaving the tell tale white/pink residue in the area. Once cooled the coolant was low and the low warning came on. New HG resolved issue. I can’t remember what mileage it happened but it had 189k on it when I sold it.

Hoping someone here can help as I have no access to the donor cars chassis number as it’s been crushed FH13HRM donor onto KM11OUV. I believe both are Aqua Blue LF8K-3U paint code, can someone confirm, please
