It's gonna be a sticking caliper most likely, disconnect the handbrake cable from the caliper and then pop some mole grips on the lever the handbrake cable would normally pull on when engaged, does this move freely ? Mine was binding so using the mole grips I'd applied a up and down motion which helped free the lever up and then I used gt85 spray to assist lubricating where the lever is joined to the caliper, this seems have worked well on my car although I have heard stories of calipers being siezed completely and the only option being a replacement or full strip down and rebuild

I've seen 52mpg on mine but been hitting around 48mpg lately on most motorway runs, something must be wrong somewhere I reckon as like you say, not a true reading

Have you ever heard of a toffee wheel ? These will assist you in sticker removal, put them straight into a cordless drill and away you go, will still take a while and you'll need a few I would imagine for a large van but the sticker and glue will be removed all together

Mine stopped working, found that the mech had got gritty and effectively jammed, sprayed gt85 all over, wiggled a few bits and hey presto been working ever since, that was about 6 months ago as well

iron x is what you need to use on your wheels, its the only thing that will truely remove the metal filings from the wheel as these filings will be hot from basically metal to metal surfaces and they will have burnt into the laquer :-( you need to get the problem of the brakes sorted first as the longer you leave it the worse it will get.

handbrake applies a pressure to the brake pads via a screw action in the caliper so only the one set of pads that do handbrake and normal braking combined

Thanks mate, def the look I wanna seek to achieve, was there a particular brand to go for ?

lovely looking car, shame you got rid of it, I noticed the stance is pretty perfect, did you have spacers fitted ??? if so could you advise what ones and sizes etc.....

i had this exact same kit on my car and it seemed to cause nothing but hassle, i had power issues, running issues and boost issues, i put everything back to standard in the end which im gutted about, however it didn't seem to put every thing back to normal by doing this, the car still had issues running and boosting correctly, now it seems to have settled down after a couple of months to being normal again but it was frustrating to go through all these problems, i changed the n75 during the fitting as this seemed to be causing a continuous overboost issue when the FMIC was first fitted so i'm running this new n75 now. why would i have had so many issues do you think ? i contemplated changing actuator, fuel pump, dv, MAF, Map sensor but no codes apart from the overboost have come up on vagcom.

although just seen this is a post from 2010 oopps

yep been into skoda today and the cost is £107 inc vat, i just ordered a used part from ebay for £14 delivered, its a gamble but at £14 its gotta be worth a punt, the seller was showing one more of these left and the ebay item number was 390672176899 if thats any use.

i'm still getting issues with mine, i'll have another check on vac hoses but what a knightmare this part throttle issue is.

I've got a toyo sport FMIC, my car didn't seem to like it. It's complete with all pipe work, if your interested pm me and we can talk £££

N75 most likely, however I changed mine and it made a massive difference but now a couple of weeks down the line I'm getting problems again with boosting

sticky caliper/ caliper sliders or wheel bearing, can only really be one or the other i would think,
