    Hi Numan! Welcome to the forum, and I hope you continue to have a trouble free life with your Octy 😊
  3. Good evening from Ireland 👋 Welcome along and I hope you find all the info you need for your car 👍🏻
  4. Morning Sonny, Welcome to the forum!
  5. Morning, Welcome to the forum! Hopefully you find the site helpful along the way
  6. 👋 Hi and welcome along!
  7. Hi Chippy, We’re a very accepting group around here 🤣
  8. Nightbreaker lasers do good as a balance between light increase and lasting. The Philips extreme I’ve used only lasted 6months.. The night breakers 12months.
  9. No one is going to give you an answer about structural damage based off a (no offence meant buddy) shaky phone camera video shot in the dark by flash light, moving around the outside of the vehicle. If there is structural damage, it’s deeper in and too difficult assess without actually looking at the vehicle.
  10. Is it a CAYC engine? It’s not your MaF, it’s the EGR starting to fail. Read this - it will explain what you can expect to happen.
  11. I presume you’ve enabled the “remember me” button in the login page? Assuming so, do you have your browser set to clear the cache every time you exit the browser or site?
  12. It’s also possible, given the number of error codes that it’s somewhat coincidental. Did the oil spill everywhere in the engine bay? Possibly in any fuses etc? Because that amount of sudden onset faults sounds like an electrical short
  13. I’ve seen a couple of new Toyota land cruisers around the last couple of weeks. Looks like a Lego interpretation of a 90s bronco…

    Hi, and welcome to the forum! Wish your joining wasn’t because of a break in though. I’m sure you’ll post about your fuse issues in the correct section, so I’ll be interested to see what issues you are having since the theft and work.
  16. Good stuff for joining up, You ll find there’s now also several areas of the site that aren’t viewable without signing up, so loads more to explore now too 👍🏻
  17. Evening! Welcome to the forum and glad to hear your another satisfied owner 🙃
  18. *board room circa 2005… “So our mk2 Octavia is ready to start production” “Is there much leftovers from the mk1 production?” “Probably another 10thousand shells and all the panels, trims etc. we’ve thousands of engines left over too” “Hmmm… seems like a waste…” “I know, let’s just build em anyway but only sell them to taxi drivers until we run out!” *board room circa 2010 “So, we started our mk2 Octavia Face Lift sales last year.” “Great” “Oh and we finally ran out of mk1 parts!” “Thank Jesus. Now start designing the mk3 version.”

  20. Hi

    Morning Leon! How did you find life with the HS? My Brother in Law has a ZS full electric for 3yrs now and he’s been very happy with it.
  21. +1 to checking the colours. Don’t assume the part number lookups are correct. Also be very careful about “equivalent” or “compatible” items. The weight distribution between diesels and petrols is different. Also a lot of parts websites think that because a part is for a golf it’s then gonna fit an Octavia. But again, the ratings are very model and spec specific. Just because it fits doesn’t mean it actually works.
  22. Same engines, but not the same chassis. The mk2 octy is built on a modified version of the mk4 golf chassis. Pretty sure the 2010 Passat (B6?) is the first generation be on the MQB chassis, along with mk5/6 golf etc, that Skoda got to use for the mk3 octy.
  23. Hi
