Recently sold my VRS 1.4 tsi to We Buy Any Car. I would love to hear from the new owner as I have a whole load of paperwork/information on the car which they can gladly have because WBAC weren't interested in any of it. A 2010 model with only 29600 miles on the clock and one of the best out there. It was quite a sad day to finally let it go after 11 years made even worse by the total lack of interest shown by the guy at WBAC. So if you have it or know who does, then please let me know.

I would definitely buy another Skoda as my Fabia VRS is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The only problem at the moment is that Skoda are not selling a MK3 Fabia VRS.

I have the MySkoda app on an Android tablet and used it for my Fabia which I keep in Spain. It recognised my VIN number and loaded all the service information accordingly. However, when I loaded the same app on my ipad for my Fabia VRS although it recognised the VIN, there was no service data option present. A short while ago the app failed to load and wouldn't work, so I deleted it. The MySkoda app is still in the app store though.

I fitted the GFB DV+ last week to my 2010 CAVE VRS. Not quite as simple an installation as shown in the GFB You tube video on the Polo. The bottom Torx screw is somewhat tricky to remove and the fit with the pipework on the VRS is a lot tighter. Still took less than an hour though and am pleased with the result. The engine seems more eager to respond because the DV+ holds the boost. However, I do now have the fault code which GFB mentioned in the instructions. In all, this is a very nice tidy "upgrade" for not a lot of money which you can actually fit yourself.

I'm not saying my VRS is perfect, but I have had it for more than 5 years and I don't plan on selling it yet. My biggest gripe is the fact that not enough other cars want to race me.... They just see a Skoda and think it's not worth the effort. Those that do get a big shock though.... :devil:

I had a stage 1 custom remap on my 2010 CAVE over 3 years ago. I'm at 210bhp and I have never had any of the engine mods done by Skoda. The car has always performed exceptionally well and yes I do use a bit of oil but I am happy to do that for the excitement and enjoyment I get from the VRS. The company that carried out the work was Performance Torque (p-torque.co.uk) in Wombourne, West Midlands. I don't do a lot of miles these days - my VRS is now 6 years old and only at 28000 miles, but no problems yet (touch wood and fingers crossed) as I hope to keep it for a while longer. Just bought a GFB DV+ and will be fitting it later this week.

I have a 2010 CAVE with stage 1 remap (211bhp) and using an APP for IOS called Dynolicious have done a couple of timed runs. Best times - 0-60 - 6.05secs 0-90 - 11.98secs (not on a public highway....) This was in auto (S) TC on and no holding on the brakes, just flooring it from standstill. What are you using for the timing? The Dynolicious APP is great value and really good.

Fitted mine at home with no problems at all. Easy DIY job and no fouling on the (standard) exhaust. Gives a better bite at the front, better turn in and reduced understeer. Don't forget to check the tightness of the bolts after 100 miles when you have fitted one though.

Custom remap which was done a few years back. Great result which brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. Fabia ReMap.pdf

I have a "problem" with my rear disks. If you look at the photo attached you can see that there is a large lip around the outside of the disk. The lip is approx. 20% of the outer portion of the disk. Is my car unique, or is this a common thing on the VRS? I have had the car for 4 years ( bought second hand at 15 months old). Obviously the car has been main dealer serviced but they have never commented on the disks. Thoughts and comments please...

I'm interested in having a meet/gathering, but not really up for going out to dinner. Wouldn't mind maybe popping in for a drink and a chat though.

I would also be interested in a local meet. 1 Krisplnk 2 MattD possible 3 *murph* 4 meb90 5 butchvrs possible 6 skud vrs 7 Fossy

Had mine for nearly 3 years (bought second hand at 15 months old). A red 2010 model and I love it even if it does use a lot of oil. goneoffSki #1 Keith #2 Oz #3 (in Australia) - white.

I also have a creak/rattle from the rear seats of my VRS. Asked the dealer to check it out, but they couldn't find a solution. Not too bad, just a little bit irritating. Would be interested if anyone does know the cause/remedy.
