hi all im just woundering what intervals you have to change the spark plugs on the vrs octavia im in the process of buying a 2007 vrs and it has 42k on the clock ive looked in the service book and it looks like the plugs havent been changed so i asked the garage to change tham and the salesman said that they dont need cahnging till 80k his he pulling my leg or not ???

hi all im in the process ov buying a 2007 skoda octavia vrs i fell in love with it as soon as i drove it but i noticed the abs/trction control light was on all the time on the test drive so i mentioned it to the salesman in the garage !he sed that he would get the lads to put it on the computer ,any way to cut a long story short the sales man phoned me up today and said that the car needs a new abs pump at £850 a common fault on the octavias a tend to believe!!and they were going to foot the bill for it !!the new pump is coming t morrow and al be able to pick the car up on wednesday but am a bit scepticle about this av just done a few searches on here and heard ov garages taking the bulbs out ov the light in the dash and i would be none the wiser!! so any pointers when i pick the car up on if they have fitted the new pump and how to test the abs and traction control when driving it and with the esp switch thanks any advice would be greatfully recieved thanks sie

hi all im in the process ov swapping my zafira vxr for a skoda octavia vrs!!! picking it up on monday!! its a 07 in blue with fsh and in unbeleviable condition already thinking ov getting the car tuned just been doing afew searches on the company chipboost from bonnie scarbourgh 30 miles from me so if any one has had a octavia done by these can you please let me no how you got on !! its a big decision getting rid ov the vxr but needs must it was killing us running it had it 4 years and had 5 sets ov front tyres on at £200 a corner they arnt the cheapist tyre about!!! also the tax was £400 a year plus getting 23 miles to the gallon so the time came to get a cr wich wasnt going to hit our pocket as much so decided on the octavia vrs !!! thanks for reading look forward to ready the posts cheers simon
