You can find parts catalogue info for the A3 on the same site as I showed for the Octy; entry page is LLLParts.

FYI Both our 4x4s had/have full depth spare wheel wells, normal spare wheel and false floors. I suggest a close look at the parts diagrams and in particular the PR codes; 'bottom plate for rear' diagram for a 2007 Octy is HERE, scroll down for the parts listing. Item 5 (bottom plate) appears to be the key one and appears under three sets of PR codes: 4P1 = Rear floor panel module, type 2 4P3 = Rear floor panel module, type 4 1X0 = Front wheel drive 1X1 = Four wheel drive - from which I suggest the correct floor panel for a 4WD would be the type 4 - 1Z9813114C. What none of this detective work can uncover is exactly what is different between the various versions of the floor panel. You might also want to look at under body trim HERE, rear axle HERE, brakes HERE, gearbox (for 4wd mounts) HERE, fuel tank and mounts HERE, and a miscellany or electrics/electronics - especially for the Haldex system.

Same for both of ours.

I can't recall the owner's name or handle but I do remember travelling 'dahn sarf' to collect some doors from him for my mk1.

Are you going to rechristen her 'Billy'?

The part numbers are different - 2014 HERE and 2007 HERE - but I can't say if one could be physically 'persuaded' to fit.

According to the parts cattlefrog HERE they're item #12 - W5W-12V5W.

From other members' posts previously yes, the pop rivets are standard. There are details posted somewhere (search needed) on the correct pop rivets for reassembly.

Good Morning, and welcome You can't be that much of a 'virgin' if you're on to your second Octy. Hopefully you weren't hurt in the bump and that you get sorted out OK.

Have you looked at the link? The picture definitely does not show a sump gasket of any sort. I've tried general searches on skoda-parts.com for 'cbzb sump gasket' and 'octavia sump gasket' but nothing shows. I suggest you try a call to a Skoda dealer in the hope that either their parts people or a mechanic can shed any more light. BTW how about making one up using RTV?

I'm not sure if this helps or confuses further but the parts catalogue page for the CBZB engine block and sump HERE only indicates gasket goo and not a formed gasket for the sump.

You do good work, Pete, Thank you.

Item #2 on the parts catalogue page HERE. There used to be loads of pattern versions on fleabay (I bought one a couple of years back) but not much turning up under the part number today. Try 'Octavia 2011 wheel arch liner' and also take a look at skoda-parts.com and search on the description an part number.

Welcome Steve. I'll be letting my mate know as he used to have a Felicia and also loved it.

Just a thought; have you fingertip checked all round the tyres after a run where you felt the wobble? I'm wondering if you have a tyre balloon developing that expands when hot but settles back on cooling.

Your local Skoda dealer should be able to tell you from the registration number or VIN.

Sounds like a plan ...

We tried from here on t'Wirral but we're on the Dee side and partway downhill from the sandstone ridge - hence no decent view North plus the usual issues with light pollution. I have seen the Northern Lights in an absolutely spectacular display near Pitlochry some years back but I'd hoped my wife would be able to see them for the first time this time; no luck 😞

Correct.

I believe you're looking for Magic Black, paint code 9910. You should be able to ask a Skoda dealer to look up the colour code against the registration number and/or the VIN.

The affected area was hanging off already so he masked off around it, gave the back of the lining a light spray and stuck it back up. He did comment that it is very easy to saturate the material leading to bleedthrough, although I think that bit of knowledge came via his work. I'll have to ask the SIL which brand of spray he used. IIRC it was a 'trade' brand rather than a retail one.

Our son-in-law used aerosol carpet adhesive on his mk1. Seems to work fine although naturally one has to be careful about overspray.

Parker's valuations (for 140k miles) are: Private Price £1,900 - £2,520 Dealer Price £2,945 - £4,095 Based on 140,000 miles with no optional extras You would uprate for the lower mileage but a 2k+ uprate feels a little steep.

Part of the ongoing process of sorting stuff out at my folks' old place, this is a new, unused and unopened Parkside Plasma Cutter model PPS 30 B2 to work with your compressor. It was bought new in April 2022 and has simply sat in the workshop since then. I've had a look at fleabay and the going rate seems to be 150-170 squid, so for Briskies £100 delivered to UK mainland via Royal Mail. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal personal payment, please.
