Ive just took the plunge and bought a hatch interior and it fits perfect, only issue is the airbag wiring is slightly different it seems i need a "patch" wire between the new seats and the loom inside the car as it is not long enough to connect up. im hoping there is such a part and it aint too expensive as ive spent a fortune today already Dan

Darkside developments do a pair of the TT bushes (just bushes so would need to be pressed in) for just over £35 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TT-Uprated-Wishbone-Console-Bushes-for-Golf-MK5-Audi-A3-Octavia-Seat-Leon-/131194205608?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AOctavia&hash=item1e8bc8b5a8

i dont believe there is one that says the word "skoda" just the "octavia" and the chrome bar that has tdi etc in, ive recently debadged my tailgate also mine only had badges on the right side

Hi all i have an estate i am in the market for a set of VRS seats, only seem to be able to find hatchbacks breaking if i currently have split folding rear seats with a hinged base that lifts will the hatch interior go in with a bit of fettling? Cheers Dan

cheers mate ill write the numbers down and call my local tps on monday im desperate to get these bumpers and wheels on so i can make a decision on what colour its going :-)

Hi all I am after the part numbers for the pre facelift VRS front lower grille(s) really wanna get my bumpers fitted so i can book into bodyshop and get painted :-) Dan

Can you reset the service indicator using the maxidot system or is it vcds only job?

As above i have a FL VRs rear waiting to go on my Pre FL estate

more likely to be a concept for the new superb seen as the mk3 octy is only 2 years into production, daresay will see a facelift of the mk3 in the next 16months like but i agree lovely design

its a brand new part but ill leave it no point risking buying a part that may not fit, found genuine pierburg ones for £100 delivered, so might as well do it properly and get all mechanical stuff **** on before i start with all the exterior looks of the car

Original is 038128063M now ive just seen the part numbers side by side im assuming the fact the one ive posted is 03G and not 038 might be the deciding factor, just need confirmation from someone with access to etka really Dan

Not 100% as its not visible from the front id have to remove to see it, ill get it off in the next few days and check, i did put a post up a while ago about the fault code, and someone mentioned the original and revised part numbers i will try and find it, Dan

anyone with etka able to confirm whether the 'R' variant is suitable for the BKD engine?

03G 128 063 R Can someone confirm if this part number is a suitable replacement for the intake flap motor on a bkd engine? Dan

Only thing i was worried about was the killing of the wiper motor and other electrics ive heard about lol but im guessing that was more with the Canbus friendly setup, i bought the non canbus ones, and have definately not got a light so ill just leave it there and be happy also managed to fit led sidelights too Dan

I read on another thread about adding 10 to the coding in byte 4, if i follow what you have done above shall i reverse the adding 10 to the long code? when i added the 10 they work, although the first time i started the car the passenger side lamp went out but after a restart was fine. Cheers for the help

In what way? A lot of the options were available ie coming home leaving home daylight running light options etc etc just not the xenon without shutters

Version 11.11.3

Please feel free to take the mick if I sound dumb here but when you say add 10 to current coding you mean the binary coding? I'm using the long code helper and do not have an option for xenon without shutters I have no bit 4 in my byte 3, my binary code is 00000011 currently or do I add it to the really long number at the top Again apologies I'm not very savvy with vcds only know basics on there Dan

Seen london colour had the hid kits on sale so took the punt and bought a set, arrived promptly and looks a good bit of kit, however ive never fitted HID's before, (always took the xenon bulb route) Most of it looks pretty straightforward howevere theres two wires im assuming a live and ground i have no idea where theyre meant to go? any tips or has someone previously posted a guide to installing this kit? I have searched with nothing of use showing up Cheers Dan

How do you reset them? with vcds?

My octy has a couple of probs with the blowers, one is only working on highest setting, i will be getting a new thermal resistor for it this week to cure that, other is its constantly blowing out of passenger footwell even if pointed to windscreen (does still blow on windscreen as well) now i did a few searches, and find that a reset of the flaps can be done but i assume this is only on the climatronic heaters, mine is just a manual control panel, any suggestions?? Dan

I currently have rear sensors fitted, im replacing both bumpers i have a FL rear to go on which came with parking sensors in but the wiring cut, and i have a pre fl front vrs bumper which came with the sensor cut outs no sensors, so i want to fit front sensors hope this clarifies things Dan

Well ive got a fl rear bumper to go on that came with 4 parking sensors, would i be able to get the controller and then the wiring. buzzer, etc, and go from there, Ill drop an email to skodateile cheers, Need to get it sorted as plan on having the car in for paint within 8 weeks Dan

cant seem to find a controller on ebay so looks like ill have to go for one of the kits either way
