Yeah just cancel it. If they have any business sense they'll give the discount. If not have a look at the Bluefin.

vrs 2.0. pd tdi timing
07 vRS Taxi replied to martin1611's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
The angle at 4.8 was also correct, the ignition timing angle is an output, it's what the ECU wants it to be based on cam position, not what it is. There will be room for tolerance. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 -

07 vRS Taxi replied to martin1611's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Martin, the ignition timing is retarded, After Top Dead Centre, seems to be normal at idle otherwise the ECU would set an out of range code based on RPM and throttle plate values.Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 -

MAF and MAF are two different sensors, check the wiring to the MAP and make sure the vanes/wastegate/pressure control solenoid are ok. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2

Jacks & axle stands - how do you do it?
07 vRS Taxi replied to skodacarman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
If you are working on the front you can jack on the chassis leg, you can remove the plastic undercover but if your jack pad is flat and has a decent rubber you can get away with leaving it on. Then place the axle stands on the jacking points. If you are working on the rear and you have a decent jack, again with a flat pad, you can jack on the rear suspension arms centre mounting point to lift both sides of the vehicle. Place the axle stands on the jacking points. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 -

07 vRS Taxi replied to JD52's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Did you pop the spring out too? I did the same while filling up, nightmare! Managed to bend it back into shape and refit it though. Just aswell it can't be bought separately http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/277079-petrol-flap-problem/ Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 -

vrs high oil consumption
07 vRS Taxi replied to vrs_matt's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I heard the fix at Audi is to fit new pistons, a type with a shorter crown. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 -
Trolley Jack and Jacking Points ?
07 vRS Taxi replied to CmB's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
If you have a proper jack (Not a toy from Argos or the RAC kit) you can jack on the suspension arm mounting point in the centre, to lift both wheels off the ground. Place the axle stands on the jacking points.Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 -

Replacing water pump with cambelt ?
07 vRS Taxi replied to phoneman(ret)'s topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Basically the timing belt drives the water pump so if you're going to go through the expense/hassle of changing the timing belt then you might aswell change the water pump incase it fails. -
I'd load test the battery, why did voltage drop to 11.15V? 12.24V isn't healthy either. If that was OK I'd look for a parasitic draw. Is the alternator constantly charging? Are the connections good? What is the condition of the belt?

Eurocarparts code
07 vRS Taxi replied to stewartbaldwin's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
That code doesn't usually work when other promotional offers are on, check their home page. -
When you say you did a diagnostic check what do you mean? What did you do?
-
Should be checked and adjusted after any steering and suspension work has been carried out.
-
Yes they should've but they also charge for it.
