My Lord, I do that on the ground, no rump.
Is that housing hard to remove?

Hi to all
Want to take off the front wishbone to replace the bush, bolt snapped. Was trying to cut the bolt by grinder to take the wishbone out but no luck cos tight space
-
Looks low enough for me. My ex VRS was sitting on PI springs fitted by first owner. Regret that I sold her very much
-
Thank you. Want to see the pictures

If I'm understanding you correctly, are you asking if a car weighing 1050kg can have springs rated at 1020kg on it? If that's correct, then the car's entire weight doesn't have the full weight going through one end unless it's a transformer and does handstand pressups!
The car's weight is distributed between the two axles, not through one end so you can't measure it like that.
Everyone say the same think, don't put it on. So I contacted Vogtland distributor and drill their brains as well, they found a right application for my car but now the price push me to think,what is best to buy, Eibach or Vogtland

No worries, it looks pretty clear in the advert that they're only fit for 1.4/1.6 litre TSI vehicles
Eibach have the same 1050kg spring for all models, perhaps Vogtland decided they should make two different kits?
If you fit it, it may or may not be liable to breakage, but it's almost certainly been designed for a lighter engine vehicle so you could be undersprung
Might not be much different as a static load, it's beyond my knowledge what happens when things start bouncing around though...
My body weight is 72kg, when i get under the bonnet the car sit only for a few mm down, so logically 30kg difference in engines weight it suppost to be nothing for the springs, Am I right?

The adver clearly shows that springs fit 1.6tdi

I'm looking at the Eibach catalog online and I don't see and option for the Mk II (1Z) Octavia with front axle loading of 1020kg
The only 1020kg set I see is for the Mk I (1U)
What's the exact part number on the box?
I'm half way through fitting my Pro Kit set so the knowledge is fresh in my mind right now
My appologize I got Vogtland springs -35mm with 1020kg front but I cant find the information how low the car to be on them.
Eibach got my friend to sell but -30mm on stock shocks seems to be not low enough.
I know, better ride, good quality etc but still not low enough.

Hi
I have the springs with up to 1020kg max.axle load.(front)
My car got 1050kg,
Can I put this springs on if the weight difference only 30kg?
Thanks
-
Both ways but warm up for a few min appreciated to the car.hahaha

50mm to much. Will feel a dust under your bum. Not suit for original shocks as well.
Put 35mm, it would be good as VRS lowered from the factory for about 20mm.
Google it and learn about the springs suit to your max.axle weight etc

Hi
Need to replace two very soon so want to ask if worth to buy aftermarket ones?
Dealer price 86 quid each!
Thanks

All seats are the same. Front door cards are the same. Rear door cards are different. Upper plastic trim is longer in estate. Can be sorted by plasic welding job.i done it to my car as enterior comes from hetch to estate.That's cleared it up Mike
. Thanks for the info. I'll keep looking. Interesting to know the estate and hatchback are interchangeable, would never have thought that. Cheers mate. -
What rear rated? My estate is 1150 max
-
Thank you for the help. My front axle load 1050 as yours so the springs won't drop it properly. Sad ????

Problem with leather seats as I found is its hard to find genuine vrs ones, the other leathers normally from l/k or elegance have electric fronts that physically fit but a mare to wire up. What a lot of people do is find a octavia rear then some Audi/vw fronts that are non electric, saying that tho I would always go seats over covers and the Audi s-line front seats are very nice
I bought the VRS black leather seats, cards, middle arm rest from here for £290 collected. The set was for sale for long time and start from 500, thats the real price from FL model. They are heated also but my car has no option to connect it but who care...
If you want to find you are always find...
Seats from VRS are the best. Good luck
-
The sticker gone but thank you anyway. Will call to Skoda to find out

Where can I find the axle load, ring to the dealer? Was looking everywhere...Mannyo has covered the main misconception about lowering springs.
Are you still looking at Eibach springs as mentioned in your previous thread? http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/404496-eibach-springs-con/
Have you checked the PR codes and axle weights for your car yet? It'll give you the best chance of actually getting the drop you're looking for rather than just going by engine size.

My elegance got standart suspension. I had vrs which sold with lovering springs, elegance was on the ramp with shocks off and I decide to put vrs springs on and got no lower car but firm on bend and no bounce on the bumps....if the vRS springs did not lower your car, are you sure your car is not already on sports suspension which was a factory option on the MK2.
if your on sports suspension then you need to subtract about 25mm from the quoted figures because the vRS and cars with Sports suspension are lower than standard by about this amount.
-
I read many topics that said the some makes don't lower the car as it should.
Like you buy 50mm and got only 20-25mm down
Can you advise any propa application to lower 1.6tdi manual gearbox please.
On Ebay some descriptions show the springs can lower the car with 1.6tdi, 1.8 and 2.0Vrs models which is lie because 1.6 engine and 2.0 VRS got different max axle load and when I ask the sellers about it they can't explane and don't accept return oncea springs fitted but don't lower the car.....
I have VRS front springs on my car, they didn't lower it on even one mm
Thanks

Oil pressure light issue
in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Posted
Hi to all
I have over 90 different cars in my life but never had something like happen today with my Octavia 1.6 tdi, mileage high, yes.
I was on the way to Norwich from London and on half way up I have oil pressure light on, it made a three times beep and 5 times flash and gone till next time.
The car was servicing just a hundred miles ago, all fresh, right level, right oil etc.
On the way back twice happen like light on+three beep+permanent flushing till I just switch ignition on/off and even did not stop.
Get home run to shopping and its not appear anymore.
Any idea?
thanks
