Back when I had it:
 

 

 

 

 

 

[Anyone got my old Motor?]

Yeah I remember her in that video too I didnt find out until i came on this site with the car, couldn't believe it, still can't now

[Anyone got my old Motor?]

Hi just wondering if the new owner was on here by chance!?  I sold my Non Running VRS few years ago some chap came down from Manchester bought it rebuilt it and sold it on. 

Car is OE10 LVJ 

According to Reg Checker App:  MOT Expires on 26/01/21 and TAX: 01/07/20 

So it's still being used.. Sure i left stuff on there to do with this site.

[Light in glovebox?]

Could anyone tell me if there should be a light in the glovebox? My grandfather is saying there should be its a 66 plate.

Agreed. Not jumped in on this yet but online friends tell me you'll need about $8/9m to get properly set up. Did one mission with him and got $11k for it..... 

yeah it does cost a bit to get set up, and not going for the mutts nuts of everything brings down the price a bit

[GTA V ***Spoilers/Chat***]

been a while since this was updated....and there's been a few updates on the game too....be nice to have a group sesh again...this is the latest thing: Gun Running.  First you need a bunker, then one of the Artic Lorrys, then similar to the last udate you get side missions etc, buy/steal supplies back to bumper for research purposes

So got myself a 17yr old Escort.....van 1.8D done 77400 miles not been clocked couple dents but it's expected will do for now.

 

i will leave all my tutotirals up as I've been told they have helped several people and i'll leave this up for memories.

 

Who knows I might get another Skoda in the near future.

All the best Nathan, nice to see you're sticking around. What's the next 4 wheeled motor you'll be driving? 

 

Yeah its one of the best forums I'm signed up too, very active and have made some good friends on here, and I will hopefully get another Skoda one day, I'm just looking for a winter hack (just bid on a Austin Metro ) and looking at getting a crotch rocket for the summer months.

Very disappointing, mate. What are you going to get next?

Yeah I'm really gutted to tell the truth one of my favourite cars i have owned. 

Looking at a winter hack and a motorbike for the summer

[Ta-ta for now]

Guys as some of you know I sold my Fabia VRS for Spares/Repairs as I had took it to skoda as there was no compression between cylinders 2-4 and they quoted me £4000 for a new engine, with no mechanical knowledge i had to give in,  it had been a great car for the past 5 yrs and probably would own another MK2 VRS. I'll loiter around now adn then and probably ask the odd question as my Grandfather has just got the New Octavia this hadn't put him off thank -fully. 

 

[Naths MKII vRS Project]

Car got picked up today - sold for £1800 obligatory shot after i got the monies/before it got picked up.

So the car went in to Skoda on tuesday left it for a day and they ran a diagnostics and also done a compression test, and came back with no compression for cylinders 2, 3 & 4 they quoted me a new engine at £4,000 i told them leave it i'll have it towed back. so up for sale PM me a price and if the car doesn't go as a whole i will then split it.

Do you know anyone with stage 2 mods as I'm thinking of doing them but not sure if it's worth it as mine is putting out 225hp already ? 

 

Think i I got a lucky one out the factory 

 

Speak to Ant-VRS he had a Fabia VRS (bow Octavia VRS) but I can't remember if he went that far with it

Hi have you fixed the car yet ? 

 

Ive had several problems with mine but running sweet ATM  

 

my coil pack failed after remap 

 

18 months ago I had a new dsg gearbox as gears 1&5 jammed and totally buggered the box 

 

then recently was in limp mode and the water pump was the fault 

 

 

 

hi wills,

 

@vrs19td came up on Saturday, with VCDS/VAGCOM and ran a test which came back with this:

We noticed that #09 kept coming back as faulty and strangly it's a Reverse Switch or something like that, which is located under the air filter so going to whip that off and have a look and get a price for it. So I'd say we're a step closer.

 

Thanks again vrs19td. Still owe you an OJ.

It does have sat nav not sure what's headunit it is, but it's a 66 plate, just wondering how to pair the mirror link

Thank you Glosrich

Hi Guys,

Quick question, my grandfather has recently purchased an Octavia, and with the standard HU it's possible to link (mirror link) smart phones but when I click on to it then it says contact Skoda for a code (or words to that affect), do we need to go back to Skoda for this, or is there a work around like on VCDS?

[Naths MKII vRS Project]

car sounded like it wanted to start the other day but wouldn't...next plan of action is wait for @vrs19td to come up with his vcds to see if he can pick anything up failing that going to local Skoda garage.
