2000 miles across France to be precise
Fantastic first road trip in the VRS and family, car ran faultlessly at "toll road" speeds,and a pleasure to eat all those miles in. Love the fact French roads and Aires are empty :-)
Time to plan next years journt!
Serious bath time needed!

It only seems to do it in the morning and then only somtimes, the engine seems to have a bit of a shimmy at idle (extra diesel shake) it's fine while running and not noticed in the evening,.
It's feels like fueling to me (changed filter last week to make sure it's not ****e in the fuel system), no faults logged and runs fine on the move.
A good few years ago I had a Renault megan 1.9DT (Briefly and never again!) and that did the same and I ended up replacing the fuel pump.
Ive had a search but only seem to find DMF issues, unless this is the first sign
anyone expienced this on a CR Tdi VRS?
Cheers

DSG's are ace, you're not getting old, the old school torque converter types that......................change gear are............nothinglikeDSG'sthatchangeso quickly
Hahaha
Seriously, when I bought the S3 I lined up a test drive of a DSG and a manual, I didn't drive the manual, you do have to alter your driving style a little but love it to pieces still:-)

Ok can somone conform what I should have in my boot:
Long story but bought my FL VRS from a Ford Dealer, when I first looked at the vehicle there was a wheel in the well (Space saver or Alloy I cant remember lol) but when I picked it up the boot flor was damaged and the wheel missing.
After telling the dealer "whose playing funny buggers here" and over a weeks worth of phone calls and them telling me it would just be a can of gunge, they just so happened to have another Octavia they could swap the carpet (false floor) from and ordered me a new wheel, So All done and I was happy, untill decided to pu the car on the spare so I could give the wheels a proper clean this weekend....Although the spare is brand spanking new....it's 15" and therefore wont fit on the VRS, Ive now go to the stage I cant be arsed dealing with the dealler anymore.
Thinking of just flogging the spare off and getting hold of a space saver or a single 18" VRS alloy, time to join Freedom :-)
Skoda told me this morning it should be a can of gunge as they dont do 18" space savers
Should I have a space saver, can of gunge or an alloy in there?

225/40/18 RS3's just ordered from Camskill....£75 ea
Thanks for this thread guys, been faffing over tyres for weeks hahahah

Have you tried swapping front back to see if the vibration/noise follows? Also worth checking to see if the hubs and spigots are clean so you get a good fit

Ephs possibly (electro hydraulic) basically an electric pump instead of an engine driven one, it's not fully electric assisted though I think, need to shove my head under there for a good look, mk3 has a good rack drive electric system though lol

Clearly not selling Occy 3's that's why there's a 7 months delivery on new ones......

anyone used Speedwells in Birmingham before?
The OCD in me wants the wheels perfect and thinking of blacklining them.
Cheers
-
When i picked mine up first thing a mate said was you need black alloys on that before i'd even heard of a blackline (Black leather and candy white), the wheels are not 100% so thinking of refurbing them locally in a matt Titanium (same as the TT) not a big fan of gloss black.
Did the blackline have a black grill and inserts too?

Picked up my semi sensible dad wagon yesterday lol, and managed to give it a proper clean and get a good coat of wax on it today, impressed so far, lot more refined than my old mk1. time to sell the TT sniff

Hi All,
Well after almost re joining Briskoda last year with Fabia VRS, I went with my heart and bought a V8 Audi S4, ran it for 6 months and ended up with another TT (bought on a wim aas loved my other one hahah), now Finally need a semi sensible Dad wagon that doesnt drink the juice so bought a nice Candy White Occy Mk2 (Facelift) VRS Diesel.
Not my first Skoda as had a Mk1 VRS wagon then a modded Mk1 4x4 Turbo, then got the Quatto bug lol
Only mods so far planned are some better headlights and a stage 1 map, roll on Friday! :love:
Hoping for a dry weekend to give it a proper detail, first white car so looking forward to how shiney I can get it! and have a tinker with VCDS and see what i can break......

I was told end of Sept for the 0% deal/free servicing, I got quoted on a Metor grey diesel hatch with a lot of options as 4800 deposit and 41 months at 305 with GFV of 9090.
Going to try another dealer Friday to see if I can get a better one :-)

Hello fellow Briskodians
I'm not especially a new member but a returning one from about 4 years ago!
Since my Mk1 VRS estate and Mk1 4x4 turbo i've been over on the Audi Forums
, Still on there a lot but ditching the company Passat shortly and looking at getting back into a VRS, probably a Fabia.Catch u soon
-
Still for sale fella? :love:

Again as the others have said 28mpg round town and lots of little trips, when i was doing 80 miles a day was getting 38mpg. Fuel consumption (real not trip computer) didnt change after remap either:thumbup:
-
Thought i'd add my 10p worth to thread to help future peeps.
After being stopped and informed by the local boys in blue about mine (BTW 10/10 for how they handled it:thumbup: makes a change) sorted mine at the weekend.
Not sure if it's the same with peeps without ESP but had my light had come on a few times in the last few weeks then come on all the time, thought i'd got a dodgy ABS wire or such but after £9 from Skoda and a new pedal switch (green)..all is now good:D
-
Had mine MOT'd last month, no problems except got an advisory notice saying "Front and Rear Brakes heaverly Worn", oki i thought i'll sort them soon.
Had what i think is the Brake pad light come on on the dash (Orange circle with to semi circle eitherside?:confused:)
Just taken all 4 wheels off to have alook and decied if i'll get the hub carrier and upgrade to the larger size and found all 4 set of pads with at least 5mm left on each (front and back with no tapering) the disks do have wear but nota hugh amount:mad:, anyone know what warrents that sort of notice from an MOT? cause they look fine to me and still stop the car fine be it not as good as my old VRS.
:cheers:

New Scout £38.5k Seriously?
in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

I speced one up to just shy of 29K to get the same spec as the misses ex S3 (New S3 came in at 38)...safe to say I didn't buy one, but spent 5k more than the mk3 occy on a 12month old Bi-turbo A6 with even more toys on and a whole new level in terms of performance and interior
I love my Mk2 but not spending that on one, they're not the budget car they were once, oki the original Mk1 was a budget performance car with limited kit but still..ouch
