Just got a Mk1 Octavia VRS a couple of weeks ago and got told about this place by another member, thought I should jump on and say hi.

loving every minute of the car and have already got the modding bug, started with an alloy dump valve and a set of silicone hoses (still yet to fit), but I can see a load more things being done to it before too long

if there's any local meets down the south I'll try and get along.

By the way anyone got a tips on what to do first on the car to improve it ?

all the best

Bonjour de la Suisse !

xavierochat · 4 hours ago4 hr

Bonjour à tous! I'm Xavier from Switzerland and a brand-new member of the Skoda world. A few days ago, I bought a beautiful 2012 Skoda Superb Mk2 Laurin & Klement 2.0 TDI 170 PS. The car is in remarkably good condition, both inside and out, and the engine runs great. With only 245,000 km on the clock, it's barely broken in... right? 😄 I'm an amateur mechanic and long-time BMW enthusiast. Over the years I've tackled quite a few jobs myself, including timing chain replacement on BMW engines,

Which Front Shock Absorbers are correct for Skoda 1Z5 1.6Tdi with RoughRoad Design 2UB ?

alfpt · 4 hours ago4 hr

Hello, Can anyone inform me what should be the correct Front Shock Absorbers to Maintain the spec of Rough road (2UB) on a Skoda Octavia Combi II (1Z5) ? Original Shocks Code: 1K0 412 021 KP I Believe current codes should be : 1K0 413 031 EJ or 1K0 413 031 BL (can anyone confirm ?) Im considering Bilstein but it's hard to find the correct part number for Rough Road. If anyone knows the part numbers of SACHS or KYB also please inform. Diameter of shocks housing = 50 mm Best Regards.

Octavia 2013 Tdi estate. Can't get gear shift into reverse.

JHowe · Saturday at 17:521 day

Hi! I'm in need of some help please. My Octavia estate sat for 8 months unused. The battery went flat (AGM Varta) and doesn't charge. I got the car started with a different battery and then swapped in the dead battery to see if it would start charging. BUT, now the engine was running I needed to move the car a bit and found that the gear stick won't go into reverse gear. It can select 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th but not reverse. I've ordered up a new AGM battery (due in a couple of days) but this reverse

Being a big Skoda fan, I joined Briskoda in 2008, I have always promoted Skodas as my companies first choice engineers car primarily the Superb Estate. And they have always been reliable and capable. We therefore had no worries when one of our employees opted to go fully electric with an Enyaq 85X Sportline contracted via VWFS. Upon delivery it was soon apparent the heater did not work. It went in to our local dealer who tried to fix with software updates but to no avail and a new heater was ord

3V0827566N pinout DIY wiring mistake. Burned rear camera by sending 12V to CAN High

Raiko84 · Saturday at 19:461 day

Hello everyone I decided to update my 2014 Skoda Octavia to a newer age. First changed the MIB1 to MIB2, and then decided to add a rear view camera (there are other projects on the way like MFK1 to MFK2). I want to tell the story so someone else does not make the same mistakes I did. My Skoda never had a camera, so I bought one from a scrapyard, a 3V0827566N without the wiring harness, it scrapped with the body. But since I had no wiring I needed a harness, contacted Skoda Parts, got no concre
