Headgasket failure? on Mk1 VRS
Steven89 replied to cormac81's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Feel your pain, recently purchased my mk1 vrs with 98k on the clock with a failed headgasket. granted it was £400 however on removal of the head ive found quite abit of play in the valves between 0.5 and 1mm side to side :( going to have the head skimmed, valves re ground and the seats re cut and have the stem guides and seals replaced at the same time just to be 100% on the rebuild are you doing the job yourself or getting a garage to do the re build ? -
Is this still for sale buddy ?
-
I will do but I was hoping someone would have the part number

Evening guys, does anyone happen to know where I can get hold of the pinch bolt that secures the ball joints on the top arms for a 2005 superb ? Or a part number I can search ? Cheers in advance Steve

Alternative door cards?

I'd almost try this first before buying anymore door cards, it's got to be worth a shot -
Mk1 VRS front disks and pads
Steven89 replied to danknott15's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Yes in my opinion they are ... Much better stopping distance and the feel of the pedal is much better. Also the brembo disks are coated in some form of enamel so no rusty bits just shiney metal and grey. Overall I think there much better, I shall be ordering a set for all round on my mk1 superb superb shortly -
Mk1 VRS front disks and pads

When I did my front disks and pads I used brembo sounds expensive but for the difference in price it's worth the extra braking power For genuine disks and pads from eBay it was £105 delivered Hope this helps -
Everyone add pictures of your cars ;)

What about drilling straight through the two skins one size that holds the bolt then a grommet and oversize hole for the bolt head to go Through it will look oem+ without the bodge !
