The Superb II & FL Picture thread
dobbey replied to Leon-y-k's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Another V6 here (I thought they were supposed to be rare ) -
For £700 (even less once you haggle) you don't have anything to loose. Even if it fails come MOT, you can scrap it and get nearly half your money back
-
"Buy now, think later" "Its easier to ask forgiveness than permission." It doesn't sound like you've much to loose if you know the history of it

I depends how anal ( lol ) you are. If you want it looking really nice, you'll be dismantling it all and cleaning items individually. If you just want it looking half decent, you can jet wash/steam clean it. You want to wrap plastic bags around all the electrics

Fabia 3 to look like S2000 Rally Car
dobbey replied to RapidRonnie's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
I'm expecting the only thing the S2000 and the fabia 3 will have in common is that it comes in white, red and green (though not on 1 car) -
No offence intended, I've got various 60s, 70s and 80s cars (although most of them are fibreglass) All have water in them bar one because its in my garage getting a full restoration due to it being off the road since 1980

Nah, it would've just run out the rust holes in the floor

Strange Guardian Octy Mk III vRS review
dobbey replied to 900000's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Well that is awful. H doesn't review the car, he just says his audience isn't interested in cars -
To Gator or not to Gator my alloys?
dobbey replied to wilsonian's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
NOOOOOOOOOOO don't do it. I don't get why anyone would put those horrid things on their cars -
will there be a 184 0r 177 bhp superb?
dobbey replied to p5stokes's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I very much doubt it. They'll keep the new engines for the new cars and the old engines for the old cars (the superb facelift doesn't count as new ) -
Sounds interesting. What are you actually going to use it for?? It'll need wireless connection (or wired

[sarcasm/] Wow, yet another thread on a forum that's turned into the argument of Apple v The World. Didn't see that coming... [sarcasm/]

best brake fluid and which sequence for bleeding brakes...?
dobbey replied to O.C.D.'s topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Start the furthest away from the MC and work towards it (ie NSR, OSR, NSF, OSF) -
Yes, galv. That won't last forever though. Waxoyl type stuff is the best thing to use providing there's no dirt or water between it and the metal, which of course there won't be as the car is new Good job

Whoops, I read the first bit of the title VERY wrong

Fabia VRS to Honda Civic Type-R swap
dobbey replied to PastyBoy's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it! Had a Type-R and always regretted selling -
Could be a duff battery or the alternator isn't great. Do you have a multi meter? If you put it across the battery terminals with the car off, it should read over 12.5V if its any good. To test the alternator, start the engine and put the multimeter across the battery terminals and it should read above 14V

Advice required for colour matching
dobbey replied to Castle1's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Yep, agreed. If I had a choice of colour, I'd shave gone for Amethyst and ivory. Looks brilliant -
Octavia vRS Demonstrator Register

Robert Eardley - Race Blue petrol manual estate with black pack -
Heat shouldn't be too much of an issue. The exhaust gasses loose most of their heat at the front of the exhaust so they are relatively cold by the time they come into contact with the tips. Ye, try the collinite

Difference between Superb 3.6 and Passat 3.6
dobbey replied to big_dane's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
It'll be down to what rpm it produces the torque if torque is the same but power is different. The calculation for power is [(torque x the rpm at which it is produced) / 5252] = power. Hence why diesels have good torque but low power
