No Engine Management Light = No Error Codes?Y/N?
godber225r replied to clinkerman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
i had a 17705 code and it dident bring up any dash lights. my car did act poorly till i used my 20 pound code reader from ebay on it and it erased it fine. Its a u280 really good bit of kit these cars always register codes and dont always bring up warning lights its always good to do a sweep once a year at service time for codes -
Help required with spare part numbers
godber225r replied to Bomi's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
You can go to any volkswagen/audi/seat/skoda dealership and get these parts. go to the parts desk and ask, they will have most if not all your items you require on the shelf to take away there and then. i know you will have to buy a complete set of floor mats as they wont set them separately. if they need to order any parts in for you they get them in the next day there very good. Hope this helps you -
I did this on my cupra R last year it does make a noticeable difference i think. I got mine from a scrapped audi TT payed 15 quid for both liners. cut them out and glued and riveted thm into my liners took no time at all. A worthy mod i think
-
Got this set up on my cupra r all in they were 90 odd quid from the dealers Well worth the money. I did try the conversion kit the dealers sell but they just dident look right, part number was 1J2988002

You need 18" wheels for the LCR brembo setup 17's will be too small -
Rear disc & pad change nightmare
godber225r replied to Kylethompson30's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I was changing the brake fluid in my cupra r this weekend and both my rear bleed nipples were stiff but they loosened off a bit by opening and closing a few times. I think that they are all stiff you dident have a problem there. If it were me i would get a new caliper wouldnt mess about with re-tapping. Dont think there was a problem in the first place. :( You dident really need to open the bleed nipple to push the caliper back anyway just open the reservoir up and wind the piston back slowly. -
I wouldn't buy it way too modded for my liking. Also it might of had a hard 112000 miles but the thing that i didn't like on this is where the intake is!! the cone is near the floor!!! due to the weather we have in the uk flooding etc its going to suck up water. but you could change it easily if you wanted.

Have you checked the power steering fluid level?? probably very low i would say?

Water pooling behind driver seat.
godber225r replied to gitser's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Common issue with all vag cars i had it on my cupra r its your ancillary carrier seal behind the door card you have to re-seal it with silicone sealant as the seal has broken down. Just undo the row of bolts around the carrier apart from the top ones pull the carrier away slightly de grease surface and run a line of sealant underneith and bolt carrier back down while its still wet and wipe away excess. You can get the sealant from b&q i used the clear stuff it looks better. -
Got both on my cupra r the bottom one comes on these as standard but i fitted the s3 upper brace and i would say that its made a difference i can now do corners a little faster. I drilled the strut tops and bolted it in with stainless bolts and nyloc nuts. very easy to fit do it in about half an hour.

I would say that your washer tank has cracked due to the extreme temparatures weve had. did you fill it up recently with only water?? or not much screenash to water?? you will need a new bottle if so. I dont think there very expensive from the dealers.
-
I wouldn't recommend ebay as there rubbish cheap crap! main dealers are the best place unfortunatly!!
-
Worth every penny imo. i have a forge in my cupra r much better response.

Get one mate!! they look brilliant!! i would say that it was a fair price for that personnaly!!
-
If you want oem replacements go to the dealers you can go to any vag dealer and order them they have the parts catalogue for all the vag groups. i recently replace mine on my cupra r and they were about 7 odd quid each and that includes the 10% discount that you get for mentioning these forums.

New door membrain question?
godber225r replied to justinbarrow's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Its a very easy job to do mate, seems expensive for the dealer to do it. i see allot of people including dealers just running a bead of silicone around the ancillery carrier without taking it off and it dont seal ****!!! You must loosen all the bolts around the carrier de grease it and get the silicone underneith the carrier and bolt it down wet so it dries and creates a seal. I did it in a day to all my doors on my Cupra R and its never leaked since and my carpets are bone dry. Also clean the seals on bottom of doors and check the drain holes are clear too -
I use 900ml of oil in a year in my cupra R i think that is pretty good?!
-
Did the person who fitted the bushes use the correct torque settings for the mounting? this is very important for the vibration side of things.

Pads and Disks....Advice needed!
godber225r replied to estorilblue's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Thats something i totally agree with!!! -
stick with the oem ones they work well for road use. only spend out on special pads if your going to race the car on a track.

Driveshafts problems on my Octavia vRS I
godber225r replied to Yaro's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Could you have a buckled wheel?? hit any pot holes/curbs recently?? worth checking could be a wheel rather than driveshafts so would be a little cheaper to sort. -
Fabia Door Leak - 2 garage trips & still not fixed!
godber225r replied to *fergy*'s topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Also clean the seal at the bottom edge of the door and ensure the 3 holes in the bottom of the door are clear of mud/dirt -
Fabia Door Leak - 2 garage trips & still not fixed!
godber225r replied to *fergy*'s topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Did this on my leon cupra r last year and No leaks at all. the picture shows that they run the sealent around without lifting the carrier away very poor job as you expect from garages/dealers!!! All you got to do is take out all the bolts around the carrier apart from the top row pull the carrier away carefully clean the contact area with solvent and put a big bead off clear silicone sealant in between the seal and the door and bolt it back up with the sealent still wet. Wipe away excess and let dry. Easy job and no leaks!!! -
