Hey everyone, I'm looking at returning to Skoda Ownership after 7 years away. Looking at another 1.8t 4x4 estate. However, id like it to go Low - Very low!! (im not a scene kid or a boy racer, just a 31 year old dad who is having an early mid life crisis!) How low is it possible to go with a 4x4 estate? on which Coilovers? ride comfort isn't a consideration as its only my toy car anyway. I've spent all this morning searching both Google and this site, and I cant find a definitive answer on the topic If anyone can help, id be very grateful Jay

No insurance with CAI!!!! Help please
Freddie1.8t replied to Freddie1.8t's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
thankyou for your reply, but i didnt quite mean fitting a dump valve i meant instead of fitting a dump valve would it work to fit a filter on the end of the aux air pump pipe that usually goes into the air box? does this create the whoosh dump sound or am i miles off thankyou -
hi all, i was wondering. if fitting a DV to 1.8 turbo engine messes it up, what about blocking off the entrance to the air box where the air recirc pipe goes to and fitting a small filter to the pipe instead. would this work? ie not cause any errors within the system reaon i ask is because they wont insure me and the mrs on the car with CAI Fitted but i like the blow off noise!((although im not a **** :P)) should have checked the insurance before i bought the CAI i suppose thanks in advance

when i put my CAI on i had the battery off for about an hour, i had no problems at all when i re-connected it, the stereo didnt even need coding afterwards!!!

Octy Vrs lost half its value in 2 years!?
Freddie1.8t replied to simon's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
you will get more than the what the dealer has offered you, but it works with swings and roundabouts, you may only get 8k for your part ex, but push hard for a 4k discount from the dealer. most dealers have between 5 - 14% margin on new cars, (kia sorento you can haggle for around -
does anyone know if the CAI from a 1.8t golf (150bhp) will fit onto an octavia 1.8t 4x4 (150bhp)? thanks in advance :confused:
