  1. This is exactly what I was thinking, thanks for confirming i'm not going mad. After a little deeper digging I found the one i linked too (CTSSK003.2) did not have the CAN-bus decoder in it so would have needed to find a switched live from somewhere, the CTSSK002.2 actually has the CAN-bus decoder built into the steering control box so gone for that one!
  2. So, after picking up my superb last week I have found the Bluetooth module under the seat is the Nokia one so doesn't support anything. Looking at the modules I would need to upgrade the module to give me music streaming they are asking £££ I have been given a pioneer head unit which has Android auto and found a lot of the parts are cheep to get it fitted (compared to the BMW I have just got rid of) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CTSSK003-2-Skoda-Fabia-2007-onwards-Stalk-Steering-Control-Adaptor-/261650433160?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 That's the adaptor I'm looking at but I thought when your installing in a CAN bus system you need a constant live tapped in? This doesn't seem to have any way to tap in a constant?! Or is the Superb different and it's all pretty much plug and play? Any helps mucho appreciated
  3. After trying different cars I'm yet again back in a skod. So bit of background. 2x MK1 Octavia VRs 1x MK1 Octavia estate TDI 2x MK1 fabia VRs I'm now in a 2008 Superb PD DSG. Think I got a bargain for the barge, few niggles that I need to sort but that's why I'm back. Questions questions questions to prepare me for the work
  4. One Modified/supported hanger.... Just need to wait for the above hanger replacement part to turn up then im busy sunday afternoon
  5. Like i say its a suttle drop, nothing major but the car handles soo much better. Don't look to bad with 181K on the clock
  6. anyone having the same issue as me just done some digging a found these https://www.bestpartstore.co.uk/7643604 i could upgrade but there is nothing actually wrong with my exhaust so this will fix the issue until I decide if i'm going to upgrade.
  7. Stage 1 to strengthen the replacement hanger by the rear beam is here. sadly the replacement hangers hasn't arrived yet. Metal Cable ties, they are SS so should not rust! will hopefully last longer than the old plastic cable-tie idea people use.
  8. Just a bit of an update. My Credit Score stopped that idea dead... so i opted to go for the H&R springs (20mm Setup designed for the Vrs) Paid about £170 for the full spring set of the bay of E, booked into my mates to fit them annnnnnnd they didnt arrive in time so had to fit myself. Only issue i had was bolting the ball joint back up which meant track-rod end needed changing in the process on one side but OMG! Why didn't they fit these from Standard, they have made the car 10x more driveable! Highly recommended upgrade if you don't want to go LOW!
  9. I was thinking mabie something like this but with arms on both sides and re install the hangers should solve my problem?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281097400645
  10. Has anyone got a photo of what the center hanger should look like? Got some ideas from the diagram but they are normally very loose examples
  11. Evening all! got an quick question, my 03 Vrs seems to be missing some exhaust brackets... All started with a banging noise I have been chasing the last few weeks, Plus side i found a snapped spring on the front so was a good excuse to go for the H&R -20mm set (which are amazing and should have been fit from standard) The one by the rear beam has been on less than a yr and it looks like this: now i was doing some digging on the bracket front and ways to up-rate them and came across this on the workshop manual: (No 2) Been out to my car and look whats missing! No centre mount! No sign of the arms to mount them too, No sign of the arms being removed in the past. Did they add them at a later date?? is there any way to retrofit or am I off to the local powerspeed shop when my bonus comes in at end of month?
  12. Yea. Just been on the Facebook chat with someone and deamon tweaks do the koni kit with HR springs on 0% which better suits my situation.
  13. https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/skoda/octavia/ap-35mm-lowering-springs-shocks-suspension-kitoctavia-1u-14-16-vrs-18t-19sdi-20-fwd-0297 Anyone fitted these to their Octy? Needed rear shocks doing recently, just found a broken front coil. So why the hell not? Don't want coilovers but wanna upgrade. Anyone fitted these?
  14. Same as above, when i got mine i had a stat handy as they always need doing. with it sitting low is stat. If it flickers off and on then its the switch
  15. or even one of these? http://www.screwfix.com/p/hilka-pro-craft-reversible-gear-puller-4-100mm/12510 That would pull the hub and any parts left behind wouldn't it?
