Maybe strip otherwise a runner about £500-700 with an MOT

It depends on miles history and mainly condition. 12 months mot makes it more desirable. Why not post an advert in here and offer it to a more targeted audience?

Yep I have a 16” steel spare with the same note on it and running 18” alloys from factory. Does make you think why you can’t go quicker with a full sizes spare but as @Ootoheresays there are many factors to consider.

It’s likely there is a metal crash bar behind that area and the bumper may have moved with it since the impact. Not an expert. When I did this hot water trick on a Toyota it was all plastic in the area

How did it go at the mot @national?

Hello all Sorry to admins, as I wanted a good reach. I tried to fit some eBay dynamic mirror indicators since my drivers standard one had stopped working. I saved some instructions from here some time ago, they were very useful. During the process I snapped a screw holding the mirror casing to the metal behind and one tab from the mirror housing plus one from the indicator. Unfortunately the connector to the new indicators will not allow the factory connector to sit deep enough so the indicator operates intermittently. Suppose this is what you get for Chinese products. I would therefore like to put the drivers one back to factory if anyone has one about. Given the age and brittle nature of my car I would rather not mess with the passenger side now. I believe the FL Octavia has the same part 3TO.949.10 made in China and they have LEDs in them listed as 13.5v 1.7w where power connector goes. Thanks in advance.

Ditto happened on my superb 2 was intermittent also until speed/abs sensor and hub/bearing replaced.

Check the starting car main battery can cause electrical gremlins.

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
