    ESP light - repair costs? Skoda contribution?

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    It might be a little bit late but ... I bought my 55 reg VRS last year (just to show the age), picked up on Saturday morning from private seller in Cornwall, drove it to Herefordshire no issues whatsoever . Next Tuesday morning driving to work , floored it :giggle: coming of junction and bang ESP light on. Phoned up my local mechanic , plugged in to comp and got error. Not a happy bunny but thought to try Worcester Skoda dealer for damage to my wallet . £1500 shock!!!!! But without me even asking they put paperwork through to Skoda UK and nice surprise, They've agreed to fix it free!!! based on having done  67K and full VAG group service history.

    Thanks for the advice both of you.

    They look really good, think I will give them a call tomorrow and I will have to figure out a way of getting back though! Train mabye ... :think:

     

    One more question, has anyone done Gunmetal gray alloys on a black Octy? If so, does it look good?

    And that are wheels themselves

    You are doing it right! The big Skoda Octavia II picture thread!

    Yes 

     

    i like what you have done to the front headlights , is it film on them ? also what mm spacers you got on the back wheels?

    Hi thank you , yes it is film , cheap to do and very effective, also it looks darker in live than on the picture, unfortunately there is slight down sign as it affects lights in the dark. Not massively but still does, so if you drive a lot in the dark wouldn't recommend.  The spacers are 20mm 

    Another tuning question

    I appreciate that people using this forum knows this topic very well and its boring for them, but as a newbie would like to raise it again for people like me.

     

    What would chip tuning / engine mapping give in my Octy vrs petrol ( 06 reg) and where in Herefordshire area would you recommend please? 

     

    Thank you for your patience in advance!!! 

    (Another) lowering question

    I've been through this same scenario very recently and went " cowboy" :giggle: way and fitted H&R -35mm springs on OEM dampers and so far no problems. Quality of ride improved but wouldn't be expecting M sport type suspension by just changing springs. Body roll/ nose dive improved and car looks much better as well. As everyone mentioned on the top of your springs price you need to add label of around £150-200 with wheel alignment.

    New Springs fitting

    Now all fitted!!! Done rear springs on my own and even for un-experience person like me J this was around 1h for both. Got front fitted by local garage £60 . Now will drive it for a few days to allow them to settle and four wheel alignment to be done (£55).

    Car lowered with H&R 35 mm springs J looks stunning already
