hi,was just wondering if you had instructions for a 5021t scorpion that i just bought for my 02 octavia.thanks in advance. jon

hi, any idea what the type of turbo on my tdi 90 alh would be? its whistling on tickover, apparently it needs replacing or reconning. thanks. jon

jus had my car remapped by martin at pendle performance. it is not a generic remap.he does not just pull the original map and reflash it. after driving the car and checking the realtime data he pulls it and takes about an hour and half to re write the file.also he is really helpfull.i never realised that my cambelt tensioner had been damaged for a while,and whilst i testdrove it the belt slipped. luckilynot causing anydamage to engine.i could not have been more pleased with the assistance he gave me. especially as itwasn't his problem.he checked my car when i repaired it and reinserted map. it now runs ace,especially in higher gears on motorway.iwould recommend him to anyone.unless of course you suffer with "remap snobbery" lol. jon.

hi, does any body know if you can fit speakers in the rear doors of an octavia estate.i got decent replacements in front and tried jbl 6x4's in rear.but not impressed.any advice on alternative sites would be appreciated.thanks.jon

to test the maf,unplug the multi connector from it and try the car.if the flat spot has gone it is the maf at fault.do not run it for ever with the maf unplugged though,i believe it can cause probs.they are easy to change if you need to.hope this helps.

thanks,but its the 1.8 single cam jobby.i think it is in the dizzy,well that is what auto data reckons anyway.

that was the dtc,what does it mean?or is there no fault? i only scanned it because he thinks it is low on power.but maybe it is just slow.i know it is only 74bhp.

hi i wonder if any body knows there way around a mk3 golf,my brother has a m reg golf cab and he said he felt down on power,so i checked it with vag com and it said cam position sensor no response.i forgot to get the code!oops.does anybody know of a fix orif not where the sensor is situated.thanks.

i am in the same boat mate.thule states skoda octavia estate 98 on with fixing points but i cant see any fixing points anywhere.ah well,should have checked before i bought it.unless any one knows who has got some oe rails for a good price.

i have an 02 octavia estate without roof rails.can you get a roof rack or do you need to have roof rails fitted?if you need to have roof rails are the mounts already on the car or is a it a dodgy job?and where would i get the roof rails from?thanks.jon

air flow meter????

thanks any way. i will just try and get hold of a kenwood changer,probably easier, jon

i have replaced my symphony head with a kenwood kDC W6031 unit and want to know if i can get an adaptor to use the original 6 disc changer.i wasnt bothered at first but now i am thinking,why not use it and i cant be bothered getting a kenwood changer and re running cables.i have seen adaptors for doing it the other way round ie:symphony head to kenwood changer but not the other way round.

hi i put pioneer ts-g1718 in my front doors and also cut out the plastic sheet behind them.its sounds so much better.:thumbup:think they were only about 30 quid

hi just found this bit its in mexborough near rotherham.it is black magib but its an estate.drilldown.autoexposure.co.uk/externaldrilldown.cfm?Account=AETA74945&VehicleID=AETV312688&Referrer=Froogle

my thoughts are with you mate.

my fan packed up at weekend and all the trade places wanted

sent my armrest back and got a refund no problem,but something confusing me?? how can anybody have put a golf armrest in an octy??the tray you remove to fit the armrest is nowhere near the same size,me thinks people telling porkies or they been hacking things with a dremmel..mmm :confused:

eddy h,could you give me the dimensions of the plastic trim where it goes through the centre console,i checked mine against a mk iv golf and the gold was much bigger.thanks. jon

just bought one of those mate, to fit in my ambient octy.i am having a few probs with it but the guy from that place has said he will sort it.the probs are,cig lighter catches the bracket and also the plastic trim seems to be too long so the bracket halvs wont come together.alsoi dont think the ashtray at the back is gonna open when it is in,but watch this space.also if you do get a good one they are really easy to install.give us a shout if you want to know how.jon

is there a different front ashtray from any of the other vag cars that will fit in a octy mk1 and has a cig lighter in it .i cant find where to put my phone when it is on charge other than the coin holder,which wont be there when i fit the arm rest this week. thanx.jon :confused:

sorted... brown is common and it appears you have too use all wires..jon

just got some pioneers for front of octavia and obviously am going to have to alter connections.is brown or blue possitive? :confused: do i have to join both blues together and both browns?thanks jon>

what make of head unit if any would still operate my 6 disc changer??blaupunkt????

hi all,i just bought an 02 ambiente estate (1.9tdi)thought i would register here in case there is anything i need to know.this is my first skoda.if there is anything i should be doing please let me know.thanks .jon oh yes some questions.what oil is recommended .is it true that the power chips you can buy can cause the engine to be damaged?how do you tell if it is a pd engine?cheers
