My new old dog...(not an octavia)
Liam-6 replied to Liam-6's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Yes mate, It was advertised on the bay. It has a dump valve fitted and it chatters. If the turbo brakes i'll replace it with something bigger . Until then ill continue to jizz my pants everytime i let off lol!! -

The car has a full CAT 1 security alarm fitted along with an immobilizer and is securely garaged at all times. Even has a tracker fitted so i'm not too fussed. Insurance is £541 at the age of 24 -

Yeah know where your coming from. Mate of mine has a mk2 focus RS. Wasn't really impressed at all with it. Sure it was quick but it was just too refined. That turbo looks abit agressive -

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!!! Its completely different to drive to the vRS. The vRS has low down instant turbo spool and is more responsive however when the cossie comes on boost....The cossie's like a time warp but EVERYONE stops and stares, thumbs up etc. Rather appreciated on the roads. I'll be keeping it standard for now. Wouldn't mind stage 3 power. Just want to make sure she's running good before i throw money into the engine. -

I've always been a fan of the sapphire cosworth. If you want something that much you'll go out and get it. I haven't got rid of the Octavia, Its currently sat next to the saph. Cheers for the positive comments guys!! -

Cheers matey -
Well....Here it is... 2wd Saph cosworth. Goes like stink, runs superb (touch wood) apart from a slight high boost issue and is cheaper to insure than my mk1 vRS :?

Came across this the other day whilst browsing for bits on eBay. Looks alright apart from the gash wheels

Have you owned this long? Looks like my mates old motor.

I've had a jetex system on mine now for around 2 years, along with a de-cat. No issues at all. Still looks as new and has covered around 25k. I went for the resonated system and is only a little louder than stock. I'd go for the non resonated system if you want something with abit of beef to it. Here's a video of mine:

Octavia MK1 with SKODA NEW BADGE-PERFECT FIT
Liam-6 replied to davojuri's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Looks awful (dont get upset, its just my opinion). Pastyboy all the way, -
Can you not just leave the clip off the vac pipe and rotate the adjuster with the pipe still attached?

20v turbo engine oil flush experiences
Liam-6 replied to chris stop's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I service every 10k. Buy cheap oil to flush through before using Quantum -
I had a very similar problem a while back, Please take a look at my video below. Ignore the SAI pump but does yours do and sound similar? If so, mine turned out to be a split pipe under the INLET manifold. Very hard to diagnose as the pipes a pain in the arse to get to and find a split. But it solved my problem.

Really don't want to take it back to Skoda with the coil packs, The already damaged the rear door whilst it was in there. I'm assuming its pipe related as its a smooth judder. Will get some logs up at the weekend. Thanks for all the info
