I'm taking a km/h FIS maxidot cluster for my Mk1 TDi. Here's hoping I can switch the foils for mph ones! Stu, you've got mail

Got one on order from VRStu

Eddy, I'm interested in how you hooked the FIS up to the Stereo/MFD. Have you still got the pics?

Someone with ETKA has pointed me right.
There is a part, 1U0 920 941K, a May/2001-on full-height dash cluster for an L&K with the ASV TDi 110 engine. 921K is the half-height display, 911J has the trip computer and 901J has just a clock.
Apologies!

Install OpenOffice (openoffice.org) - it'll read/save your Microsoft Office documents, and it's free!
In a pinch, like for the 1% of stuff OpenOffice can't handle, Microsoft produce free 'viewer' versions of Word and Excel. Of course, they can't save stuff, only view it.

51octy > You're wrong ..
I have seen FIS on MK1 diesel and vRS
Humm, interesting. Were they the right colour, or where they modified VW units? I've never seen anything other than 'Maxidot' listed in the brochures either, which came as standard with the L&Ks and the automatics. Maybe it's a Euro option?
I think we're talking a part number of: 1U0 920 946C (See Tachometer) - has anyone got ETKA?
You can swap the foils' date=' I have vRS foils on my VW clocks.

You bad man!
Are you trying to bankrupt me? J

They didn't do a full-height FIS cluster in the Mk1 Octavia, only the half-height MFA.
If I'm wrong, then I'd desperately love an FIS to go with my Nav unit. As it is, the MFA isn't enough for me to make the effort and I don't like the font on the VW clocks.

Had mine replaced for about

is it worth washing the motor before the run down :confused: or just go for the sooted up look:rolleyes:
Judging by the wetness out there, I think mudsplashed might be more appropriate! Maybe the rain will come and wash off all the dirt
J
-
I'll be there around or just before 9am. I really hope it stops raining by then - it's pi***** it down at the moment!

Bryan's Flyer??

Well, I took the side trim and the inertia reel off together, and then the seat belt cap thingie slid off - more forwards than straight up as the reel was actually at quite an angle. Have put it all back together again with the broken one on, but it's looser now so it should come off easier.
Have got a replacement coming from SkoParts for about

The cubby from a TDi says 1U0 858 950 B. I miss having somewhere to put the sunnies, but you can't beat a double-DIN nav unit
There's always the little shelf under the steering wheel by the OBD plug. They fit in if you get it at the right angle.
HTH

Do you lot who do >50,000 a year do any carbon off setting? How many trees do you plant to help reduce your significant impact.
I do 20k a year. Would be a lot more, but I lift share.
I reduced my significant impact by buying an Octavia TDi and averaging 54 mpg
The 140g/km CO2 rating is still pretty impressive and it's nearly six years old!J
-
Don't suppose you've got TDi 110 numbers to go with those, have you?

I really don't understand how these long service intervals are such an attraction..? oil change is so cheap it just seems madness to leave all the crap (combustion byproducts, acids that are formed etc) floating round the engine for so long, especially on turbo cars that are presumably getting proper "exercise"
I was seriously put off a couple that I looked at because the owners were making a "selling" point of the fact they'd only had a handful of services in 60K miles :confused: Drop the oil at 6-8K and it's black enough, lord knows what it looks like after 20K...
Because the premium for using the long-life oil is around

I avoid the town centre whenever possible. The Observatory is in Thorpe Astley, near the cinema.
On Saturday you can all pick somewhere and call ahead and warn them
Otherwise I think Bryan might be right, it'll be a bit of a pub crawl trying to find somewhere.J
-
The Observatory has a big car park and they do bar food now. Might be busy though. (Menu: http://www.beefeater.co.uk/pdfs/B50.pdf)
There's that one I first went to in Montsorrel too, that was quite good - plenty of room outside.
J
-
Just make sure you turn up this time! :P
J
-
Somewhere in all my stuff I have the info of when stand cars are meant to be there - Might be quite early.. I'm only staying about 5 miles away, so will have a nice leisurely 10 minute drive to the place. :P
So, what 8 minutes warming it up around and two minutes actually going in the right direction?
Anyone want a run down from Central Leicester on the Sunday?

You realise this will be out of date by tomorrow, right?
My old Pug 205 D (non-T) had 100k on it when I bought it and about 140k on it when I gave it away. I'm led to believe it has since gone bang :(

Edit: Replaced while I've had it:
* Clutch master cylinder (got stuck and snapped off at the pedal)
* Front Anti-Roll Bar
* Front wishbone lower rear bushes
* Dampers

I've got a plastic patio table and four chairs!
Got to use that huge boot for something

I'm trying to replace the off side rear shelf on my Octy Hatch, because it's broken and the parcel shelf keeps falling off it.
I've undone all the bolts, and undone the seat belt bolts top and bottom, but I can't get the seat belt through the shelf.
There's a square plastic cover the seat belt feeds through. It sits on the rear trim but appears to actually be attached to the inertia reel underneath. Haynes said "prise it off", so I did and now I've snapped it.
Most of it is still stuck to the inertial reel and won't budge. The reel won't come free until this top piece is removed.
I can probably stick the two pieces back together, but my question is: how on earth do you remove it? Is there a lug I've missed, or does it just slide off with immense force?
Grrrr
