Do you have a front suspension spring?

Hi do you have a front suspension spring available?

Hi , I had similar symptoms a few months ago. Firstly oil was found on spark plugs. Then started to stutter before engine management light came on . Turned out to be rocker cover gasket. Since I have changed it no issues. Purchased part from TPS in Birmingham for around £25 off the top of my head.

Thanks guys, will check for leaks before moving on to sensor. Many thanks

Hi to all, economy my my 1.8 t vrs, mark 1 has dropped from 35mpg to around 25mpg. No eml came on but car feels a bit louder on start up for first 2 minutes. On scanning with vcds lite the fault code 17584- bank 1, O2 ( lamba) correction behind catalyst ,control limit reached p1176-35-00- came up. Is it as simple as changing lamba sensor behind cat or does anyone have any other ideas? Is it ok to leave as eml light has not come on for a few days? Thanks

thanks , bigboss man

Thanks , will pop in if going down that way.

Many thanks for that Ken, must have read threads on mark 2 vrs.

Thanks, read previous threads on camber ajustment on octavia vrs, but did not check if mark 1 or mark 2, but seems to be a common problem on previous threads. Is that ajustment only for mark 2 vrs? Thanks

Hi to all, first time user. Had a blow out on rear driver side tyre due ro excesive wear which a few users of site have suffered. Phoned a dozen wheel alignment centres in Birmingham and been to told not able to ajust camber which is not the case as read on previous threads. Could any one recommend anyone who can do both wheel alignment as well as camber ajustment which is needed for octavia mark 1 around Birmingham Area. Many Thanks
