Clunk under acceleration & braking
furry replied to lutenertic's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
have you checked the subframe mounts/bushes? -
thats because they fitted what you gave them, there own product is very poor they employee anyone who knows how to pick a spanner up but not nec know how to use it. the G60 conversion is a straight forward swap over with the parts listed above

thats the drive shaft oil seal leaking and possibly the boost hose down the back of the engine.

don't go near mr clutch!!! i used to be a branch manager and there clutches are ****e!! they make there own in there factory in kent. go G60 flywheel with vr6 clutch, this is a truly amazing conversion and makes a hell of a difference for less money than replacing the standard clutch and flywheel. last one i did took me less than 3 hrs on my back in a mates workshop!!!

Ford Modena green from the mk1/2 escort rs2000 was the nearest I could find off the shelf -

I've just put a set of 215/35/18 Yokohama pradas all round on mine and boy do they grip!!! On the downside the road noise compared to my budgets I've just taken off is horrific!! The budgets did me 30k+ miles Inc 2 full days at coombe and 1 'ring' trip

cheers for the replys guys, i already have drilled disc's with mintex pads but i've managed to warp 2 sets in 12 months and begrudge keep spending big bucks on new discs every 6 months. i've also since found out there 318mm not 312mm lol
-
Hi guys and gals, any ideas if the above fit the vrs? been offered a set off a 3.2 that are 312mm so they might be worth a shout

here's mine

my vrs has managed to warp 2 sets of discs in the last 12 months!!! the genuine discs that were fitted just before i bought her lasted 48k but the 2 sets of drilled aftermarket discs have thrown there dolly out the pram twice in the last 12 months doing my head in to be honest and not sure where to go next. i've really got to get to the bottom of the cause before i go chucking more money at new discs.

have you got the 2 or 3 that are flywheel end up inside the recess? once there all out a good tap with a rubber mallet usually does it. failing that a small pry bar the bottom pulley end will work, that way you will see if you have all of them out at the flywheel end.

my old one how it is now
