It is a while since I took the wheel off, it was quite easy -

Welcome to the forum -
Crikey, I went from a 16 inch to 15 inch, to make the ride less bouncy over poor sufaces, and it works

My 1.9tdi 2003 is approaching 216k miles, just had new rear shocks put on, and gearbox oil changed, first time for both I am sure.The shocks were completely gone, no spring in them at all when compressed. It now rides much better,( and is quieter , which I suppose is the change of gearbox oil,) I am very pleased. I got the oil, 2 litres, from the skoda dealers, only cost about 16 quid. Used Meyle shocks off ebay for around £50.

Sounds like a decent deal, see how it goes.

Buying advice clutch etc...mileage
newtooctavia replied to Wuyang's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
My 2003 tdi had the clutch and dmf done at 115,000, miles it is now on 211,000 miles ; of course clutch wear depends on how they are used, we do motorway miles, so I do not expect to replace the clutch for a while; -

Astonishing when you consider how much is being spent, very poor practice
