well i fell in love with an A6 3.0 V6 TDI BI TURBO for 22k then reality set in the octavia VRS is £15,250 66173 miles Grey gunmetal grey alloys looks in great condition part form the front discs are fkd from the pictures

you can also buy Stainless and aluminium replacements if you want to seriously protect the engine etc etc i think they are like £150-200

I am in the market for the above, or maybe an A6 Avante 3.0L V6 Bi turbo. difference in price is 7k will the Octavia be a good buy ?

My interior lights have not worked in a while, seems after the switch in the cabin roof was damaged. Ive changed that checked all the bulbs and fuse still nothing. no warning lights or any errors in the system. Any random ideas?

can someone tell me the bolt sizes to rep[lace the rivets? I don't want to strip it all off without having all the parts in my hand to replace.

are sharks just bolted on ? or do they copy your map and then re-load the new one. you shouldn't have ny issues with the map unless there are underlying issues that need dealing with first. I need my turbo replaced or cleaned again. so many variables for the turbo too. refurb, new build, hybrid upgrades etc etc

I have done this EGR removal on my BKD Engine. although time consuming, it is not technically challenging. its all about access rather than hard mechanics. it took me like 4 hours start to finish or less. A bit fiddly with re-inserting the screws into the inlet manifold for the Delete pipe. there are some improvements in the Darkside kit that would help the process, though. also at the same time when you have all the parts stripped off such and MAF airbox etc etc its a good time to clean the VNT / Exhaust section of the turbo with Turbo Clean etc etc. as access is easier. When you remove the cooler completely the Darkside kit gives you the fitting to re-route the coolant so there is no loss.

Blimy that's a lot of work to replace the condenser. My A/C pump is dead anyway, so I need that replacing.

Where is the receiver / dryer located on the MK2 BKD? Is it easy to get to and replace?

yes

mywinterwheels.co.uk

actual liters put in from the pump

yes its the fuelly app I record everything all my servicing tires etc etc in it too.

I have the BKD and regular MPG is 48-55 depending on how i'm driving, late 30's to early 40's in town. Mine has done 169K Certainly stay away from super market fuel if you can, as there is a theory that it contains 10% bio, where as Shell, BP, Esso etc etc are less bio based. Bio could be bad for these cars?? so if you stay away from it may be better. If you live near a Costco their premium diesel is great. maybe the injectors need removing and cleaning professionally? Surely some of the Additives may make a difference if you use then on half a tank not a full tank upping the concentration.

Ha ha ha no only on ignition start up not whilst driving lol
