Hello everyone! I'm Dash, I've come from a fairly heavy Vw background, love a bit of modifying too Prior to the current daily I had a VW Scirocco on Audi splits and airride, was only a 2.0 TDI 140ps so want really fast enough for me... The new car is a white 2012 plate Octavia VRS 2.0TFSI! What an awesome car! It's ex demo with 10k miles on it, done about 1500 since I've owned it and it pulls like a big 'ol scary train! The power delivery is truly awesome! I'm thinking some Audi fat fives colour coded to the car and might stick the airride on the skoda... Haven't decided if I want to void the warranty yet Anyway, been hankering after a petrol for a while and when it came up as an ex demo for 15K I thought it would be rude not too Ill stick a build thread up at some point if I decide to modify it. If not maybe just a few Pics of the rocco and a few of my past vag motors. If anyone is interested I'm also building a 1989 mk2 Jetta with a supercharged ABF, hopefully to take part in the scum run either this year or the next So yeah, I love cars Thanks for the advice already provided gents! Here's to a many long hours trawling the forum for stuff that interests me!

Apparently all I did was top up the break fluid :S Makes me feel like an idiot :lol: I've phoned skoda assistance and they are on the way round. Hopefully it's just a sensor fault and everything is going to get fixed. Failing that, they've said they will organise a courtesy car if the tech can't fix it on my drive way. Thanks for the help guys! I complete forget I had that!

Hey guys. Bit of a crappy first time post. I've been driving my new vrs for about a month now. I used to own a Vw rocco and a mk5 before that, never had any problems with any of them... Bought the vrs second hand off the dealer ship, ex demo with 10k on the clock... Pretty much every optional extra you can have Etc etc.. About 4 days ago my electro steering warning light was coming on the dash and flashing on and off intermittently. It was yellow which apparently indicates a fault with it. It was flashing though so I put it down to a faulty sensor and it eventually stopped flashing... I topped up the fluid to make sure it wasn't low and continued to drive for the next few days I though 'horray' the sensor has fixed itself and continued to drive... Now my issue has got much much worse, my esb light is constantly on, the steering light is constantly on, it says I need to keep checking my tyre pressure when they are all correct and all the other lights flash on and off every now and then... Does anyone know if this is a common electrical fault on the vrs? And is it sonething i can ignore? I can't take it back to the garage till the 2nd of January and my car needs to do about 4 50 mile round trips to work before then... Should/can I risk it or should I leave it on my drive and try to borrow another car? I've never had anything like this go wrong before and as its the first car I've ever bought that's not been a through and through Vw it's making me think why did I bother. Any help you fine gentlemen can give me will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Dash
