Bought a VRS but have some issues
donovan replied to donovan's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Yes, I would say the brake pedal does have a lot of travel. You have to push on pedal fairly hard for the brakes to react. With regard to speakers its odd that neither of the front work -

Can someone help me, got a vrs and have a couple of issues I would like advice on. 1. When accelerating I can hear a bit of a Rattling noise which sounds as if its coming from passager side of car. Noise stops when I take it out of gear or stop accelerating. 2. Sometimes when accelerating hard I get a loud beep noise which comes from speedometer/speedo area. No lights are on and nothing shows on scan. 3. The car currently has a remap, it was tuned by mij exhaust in London. I was wondering if it would run okay if I put standard map back on, car has straight through exhaust, pd150 turbo and egr delete. Will this cause issues with standard remap? 4. Both front speakers are not working, checked wiring at cd player and all looks okay and also checked the eq.

Dam! Would have had it as it was grey colour, btw what has replaced it? Or has nothing replaced it yet?

@BossFox fancy selling me the st200 if you still have it?

Rowan Atkins would be a brilliant replacement. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Would explain why there hasn't been much media about it on radio or tv. Most have dominated the brexit story, which let's be honest is kind of getting old now Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

I can vouch for this as I now own one. As a reply to your previous comment a custom GEO setup, decent tyres on 18s makes a huge difference in handling. I would honestly say the 7R would really struggle to match the TT RS with proper geo on a DRY bendy Road. I own both btw hehe Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

1m was hugely limited in numbers hence the high resale values Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

I can't but I have been told that another person (ie person not on agreement can). Car is leased direct via vw Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

I am now really considering getting shot of my lease which was on a 24m, 10k deal. It now has 12m left and 8k left and it is £309 a month, over mileage cost is low at 7p if more miles are needed. Spec is DSG, Lapiz blue and heated seats, car was recently serviced at 10k. Condition of car is new bare one tiny scratch on 1 alloy. If anyone is seriously interested get in touch and we can go from there. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

My prediction is then being written off left right and centre, pushing insurance through the roof. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk -

Yep untill that service comes around and that 5k gap becomes much bigger. But I totally agree. That it looks like it has been designed more for fun in and out of twistys than anything else. Will be good to see some track times etc. My only worry about the drift button is people being silly and wrapping car around tree. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk -

Or maybe it has something to do with focus being more than 100kg heavier. That's if it even produces advertised power(wouldn't be the first time, remeber the mk2 rs most getting around 270-280). Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk -

https://youtu.be/2aAkkAfIyA4 How the hell is the Golf faster than focus rs? When the focus rs is 345bhp vs 295 in golf? Also golf didn't even get a good start so gap would have been even bigger.... Do we know how much the focus weights yet? Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk -
New focus rs - looks a bit pants imho...

Hi Paul, I think all you need to fix this unit is this: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/281773699558?ul_ref=http%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F0%2Fe11010.m1951.l3160%2F7%3Feuid%3D8d78fe190dd44a2cbf53d053107045ff%26loc%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%252Fws%252FeBayISAPI.dll%253FViewItem%2526item%253D281773699558%26srcrot%3De11010.m1951.l3160%26rvr_id%3D0&_mwBanner=1 This module controls both power and audio.
