If it’s a DSG replace that stat also IMO

Thank you @travs i have seen both of those and I forgot to say no cream leather and those alloys do not float my boat.

Long timer lurker here not sure if I have read this thread before. Have been looking for the right 280 L&K for quite a few years nothing coming up, don’t want a sunroof or massive alloys, estate or hatch fine no white or black and maybe the chocolate brown not my colours. Sportline is a no because of the seat. Own a superb 2 170 combi TDI and Fabia vRS mk1 second one now. Also owned a MK2 TDI octy for over 10 years. If anyone is considering moving on please get in touch, to keep it in the Brisky family.

Got them from Skodaparts.com about £32 delivered hopefully last and assured genuine from them.

If you bought the car already L&K model usually standard. Elegance usually optional ?

Hello all Had my wheels returbed in grey and looking for some quality replacement centre caps or stick over Gel covers. Not sure to go for OE look or the new black/silver. Rest of the car is standard no changes. Would be nice to hear from people who have purchased aftermarket and they are holding up well with time. I do still have the original ones that can be repurposed some how.

My 1.9 05 BKC manual is the most reliable car I have had. Put 230k on it.

Not sure why you are venturing here but well documented the wires break and cause faults. Have a search here

Wow what a story and what a journey. Well done you and well done Super B. Great you let this live on. They are really a great all rounder for a family on travels or not.

Apparently changing the number plate lights to LED and coding out bulb warnings is a thing. That is what Skoda did to anyone whose warranty was honoured and they got a new tailgate.

They come up on eBay regular. Around £200. You will have to price in fitting and respray also unless you get lucky. As yours is facelift the pre around 2013-2009ish may not be compatible due to subtle changes. I have a 2011 with same issue Galvanic Corrosion I believe it’s called. Have my replacement lid ready to spray and fit.

Try wiring old and new in same circuit. Buy new bulb holder. Spliced in fit LED to headlight. Hide halogen in cover. No more warnings 👍

Stationary car has rev limiter not broke.

There was a time could just squeeze just under 600 miles from my Mark2 TDI 170 DSG 192 miles a day 2 trips AM and PM about 4 of the miles were local or A roads.

What a great end to the story Matt. Plus gone to someone you know, no doubt you can see it when you want next time you pop around with a pack of beers to see your mate.

That could be as a result of battery drain. Could try disconnecting its fuse leaving off for a few days see if that improves battery situation.

Factory radio been changed at all usually first thing ?

If you have problems selecting. Clean the selector arm that’s attached to the gear lever cables. Especially where it enters a shaft on the gearbox remove clean up shaft and pin grease and replace. Made a difference to 2 different cars I have owned to smooth out selection issues.

Well Matt, the market is strong for a good one but there are plenty of sheds that make people think they can pay less. Humour us and give us a ball park. Might help to keep it on here

Get some more trophies in. Will increase the value 😇 Expect you will be asking for a tidy sum given your investment ?

Not sure if true of 1.8TSI petrol engines with bore liner issues drinking oil like on a stag. So some research.

For my rear speed sensor the hub/bearing was also replaced due to corrosion. Maybe something you should investigate. Mine all done by Skoda. Takes away the ABS and traction lights when fixed.

Looking good Ryan. What’s happened to your chrome loud pedal cover ?

VCDS can read ECU mileage or whereever it’s stored ?

Just some ideas. Have the clutch bled Follow the gear selectors to gearbox detach from the lever. Take that 2 or 1 pin bit of metal just under the 2 pictured in below. Clean shaft and where it inserts and grease inside and reassemble. Helped solve my MK2 octy and Fab Mk1 gear selection issues. Of course you could also readjust cables procedure on YouTube. Ps is the number 2 under where the orange selector cable is just above where the red circle is on this example picture.
