whats the engine code, there are a few on ebay from £1500?
-
We bought ours at the end of the pcp, we owed £3900 on it (14plate elegance 21000 miles). I looked around at what else we could buy and at new pcp deals but our car has never once let us down and the wife loves the heated seats, we'll keep it now till we either win some money or the mortgage is finished (5 years) then give it to our daughter.

More than likely this will fit, you may need the Columbus surround for it but the big problem is you will need the canbus controller updating on your car or you will suffer battery drain.

There are no photo's on your ebay listing

Car looks lovely, wish it was diesel.

I have one in my 2006 vRS, new can gateway, facia and dab aerial was all it took plus coding.

Big thanks to Nikonite for the free sensor, it was fitted today and has sorted the problem, my original one was the same as nick74's, my mechanic asked me if I had spilt some sort of fluid or grease as it was all over the sensor.
He dried everything and fitted the new sensor and its good as new again.

Thanks for the offer I will gladly take it off your hands in exchange for some beer tokens if it is the right part number.

Hi I am having occasional problems when turning right, steering feels weird and the yellow steering wheel light and abs/tyre pressure lights are illuminated, done a scan with a hand held vagscanner and its saying steering wheel angle sensor is the problem.
Without stripping the air bag and wheel off to find the part number does anyone know what the number is? I have seen some used sensors on ebay but not sure which one to order.
Car is a 2006 vRS estate.
Cheers, Daren

We're having ours for 4 yrs. . . . 6+47, 10K, tyres & servicing on PCH.
How much is that deal costing you please?
-
Uniroyal rainsport 3 just fitted to mine, £61 each delivered from camskill, fitted and balanced at local tyre centre £9 per tyre, £140 all in for the front.
-
Check cam belt changes have been done, it should of had 2 by now, look for rust on the sills behind the front wheel and make sure on the test drive none of the warning lights on the dash are lit.

It's a grand too expensive, they are holding their money but its still almost 8 years old and nearly 100,000 miles on the clock.

Had the timing belt and water pump done yesterday at the garage mentioned in my last post, over the moon with the service and price, when I dropped it off I asked how much a new diverter valve would be as the car is on 92000 miles now and has been remapped in the last 6 months, he said he would fit a new one and only charge for the part (£33).
So all in for belt kit, water pump and diverter valve it was £333, I asked how the old belt and pump looked and he had them on a tray in the garage for me to see, they still looked in good condition, although they were 4 years old they only had 39000 miles on them, I will be back later in the year for a full service £180 including genuine parts.

£459 is a bit steep, it's the 2nd time the belt and pump have been changed, car only done 40,000 on this belt but don't want to risk expensive damage by not doing it, I know a lad who changed the belt only on a golf and had a pump seize 15 months later, going to hunt around for an independent garage to do it.
-
In the same boat, 56 vRS petrol estate need belt and pump doing, are you going to dealers or independent garage? and have you had any prices yet?
-
it should of been, go back and complain

Its not just new cars either, I was looking at a 10 plate octavia vrs diesel in blue and it was £10995, it had history and 65000 on the clock, in the same garage was a passat cc 2.0 diesel gt (170 bhp) with slightly less miles same history and same price.
Asked the dealer what my 56 plate vrs estate was worth as a trade in and walked away, he said it would be in the region of £3500 against either of the above cars, he had an 06 vrs in for £5995.

Gun metal grey, mine ar still silver but i'm going to change them soon.

Thanks silver, I read your reply and kicked my slippers off to try it again, its back to pulling like a train, dont know whats happening but it seems ok now any ideas?

Hi, had my 56 plate 2.0 tfsi vrs remapped in november and the car has ran like a dream with the exception of a pcv replacement, it is smooth and has loads of power from low down in the rev rangs, however driving home from work tonight it was driving like it normally does until I slowed for a roundabout, when I went to pull away there was nothing there, it drove ok and there are no dash lights on but it feels as if the turbo has just stopped working.
I checked for any strange noises and tried it again but its just not pulling anymore, it drives just like a 2.0 normal petrol car.
Any suggestions?
grey 2010 vrs, anyone on here?
in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

A grey vrs is for sale not far from me it looks to have been owned by an enthusiast so I was wondering if the last owner was on here, It's reg number is WN10 NGJ and it's for sale in Newcastle upon tyne.
Not bothered that it's done 125000 miles I just want to ask if the camchain tensioner has been replaced.
Cheers
