[Who's had a breather pipe mod fitted and it worked? (vrs oil consumption fix)]

Hi,

 

Ive had a Mk2 Vrs for about 4 months, its an 11 plate, and had 17k on it when i got it.

 

it was using (after a oil consumption test by my local skoda garage) 1.5 litres of oil in 800km..... :think:

 

Today its had the oil breather and ecu upgrade, and they told me 'this fixes the issues in 9/10 cases'

 

I just wondered if they are BS'ing me, as ive checked the other posts on here , and havent seen a 'woop the engines using minimal oil after the breather pipe was fitted'

 

So, if anyone has and it worked, let me know !

 

Cheers

[OH no, clutch .. (is this quote too much.. ? )]

is there much of a difference performacewise in the oem clutch and the performance ones? or is it just reliability?

[OH no, clutch .. (is this quote too much.. ? )]

Hi, looks like my clutch is on its way out after 57,000

Ive been quoted £430 all in by my local rainworth skoda,

and my local vagspecialist said £1100 if the flywhell need replacing too?

Is it normal for the flywheel to be stuffed? and are these normal prices???

im unsure about going for a uprated clutch as i will be changing the car in about 20,000 miles

any input would be appreciated

[Is it worth getting a Seat Strut Brace?]

if your gonna throw it around corners, you WILL notice a difference.

If your not, dont bother. Same for the ARB really, if you like taking corners at speed, get both its amazing the difference they make when giving it some.

£800 smackers dropped off 8:30 in york, picked up at 1pm.

I wanted something a bit different to add a bit of colour to the whole black theme,

thats why i went for the quilt stitch and the door cards finish it off nice.

They are just as firm as the previous seats in my opinion, i love the smell everytime i get in the car too Mmmmm

After having a good look at Chrispy's thread with seat pics, (and asking a few questions - cheers Chrispy) I decided to give it ago.

3 Weeks after calling seat surgeons (this friday) i went to have the seats fitted

all i can say is WOW, I love them. I went for all black, with lamborghini quilt stitch centres. I couldnt be happier!

[Do any Fabia's have these???]

[Going for a test drive tonight of a VRS]

one thing i must add, especially going from a focus, hold back £200 for an anti roll bar, worth its weight in gold, ask anyone with one on here!!!

Any advice would be appreciated

[What colours your Fabia?]

Everyone knows yellow cars are faster anyway, thats why lambo's are yellow.

[VRs Upgrade Time]

Of all the upgrades mentioned the most fun is the anti roll bar, it makes the car corner happy.

But of course, you need the remap to smoke him on the straights too, and if its a custom remap and not a plug and play, make sure you get the filter/ pd160 intake done first!!!!

[Leather seats fitted! - Warning large pics]
