does this fit the AHF engine? Or do you sell something that does? thanks -
Are the wishbone ball joints handed? (specific for LHS or RHS) When I ordered some from GSF last year, as far as Im aware they all came with the same part number... Now I realise that there are 2 different part numbers: Right hand ball joint: 1J0 407 366 H Left hand ball joint: 1J0 407 365 H (spot the subtle difference)

TT/LCR front end part numbers pleeeeeeease?

I was thinking of doing it to a spare subframe for my Golf - which is the same subframe I think. -

8N0199282C Upper mounting bush x 2 (LCR) 8N0199282D Lower mounting bush x 2 (LCR) do these make a noticeable difference? Are they Seat dealer only parts or can you get them elsewhere? How tricky are they to fit to a your subframe (removed from car) ? Ta -
passenger door - interior handle aggro
2276 replied to 2276's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Thanks for the help. I ended up using some L-shaped trim removing plastic tools - and even then the lower clip wanted a good fight! I couldnt see in the fading light but Im sure its a bit marked. At least I can get on with the window repair job now... Anyone know the part numbers or have any web links for buying the clips that hold the window glass in place? -
How are you meant to get the front passenger door handle off? Im really struggling to see what the trick is without destroying the inner door card :-( Any advice would be really appreciated as the glass in the window has just fallen down and wont wind back up!

Has anyone got a link to photos of the boot lock and the switch that indicates whether the boot is open or closed? The boot sometimes thinks its open and puts the light on, along with the warning lamp on the dash...

Mk1 Octavia 4x4 estate converting from 1.8t to 1.9 tdi pd
2276 replied to jjsoctavia's topic in Octavia Projects
I keep thinking about a similar 4x4 diesel conversion. I saw a MK4 golf on ebay a while back that had been modified this way so it has been done! My main concerns are... 1) getting a good diesel engine + gearbox 2) compatibility issues with the electronics, but if you have a complete TDI car as a donor, then everything should be readily available Whats the best MPG that the standard 4x4 can actually get?? -
some friends of the wife have a mk4 Golf TDI (X-reg) with a knackered (automatic) gearbox. How many variations of the auto gearbox were used with this Golf platform - and how much does a decent box cost? (excluding labour) Theyve been quoted £2k inc labour so far!
-
oh right, has anyone done a "how to" guide for Octavia/Golf etc? Ive started to take the trim off the door but Ive no idea where the dodgy switch might live?
-
my "door open" indicator has started to flicker. im guessing its an issue with wiring in the door? is this a common fault? any help appreciated!
