New VRS Owner

Hi All

Although i have made a couple of posts previously i thought i would say hi to everyone!

Picked up my Octavia VRS yesterday - i live near Huddersfield - bought it from a garage in Middlesborough. Took the long costal route back through Whitby and Scarborough to have a good drive in my new pride an joy!

As my name suggests i had a GTI previously - a year 2000 Polo GTI. Nippy little car, however the VRS is in another league!!

I'm really impressed by it - feels much bigger (suprisingly!) and really solid and well put together.

Already had a 'hairy' sideways moment last night - all good fun!!

Anyway a little more about the VRS:

Bought it from a main dealer in Middlesborough (Derek Slack), they seem to have quite a few of the Mk 1 VRS - however they dont stay there long, seem to be selling like hot cakes! It is an 04 plate with 49k miles. Paid £6k - this included new cambelt and water pump, new disks and pads all round, new windscreen, 2 alloys refurbished and 3 new tyres. Think i got a good deal?? As its from a main dealer a 12 month warranty comes as standard.

Really really happy with the car and cant wait for the many thousands of miles to come!

A few pics:

Nice to meet you all!

Gearbox Emergency Mode

DRW · Thursday at 19:332 days

Last September my Kamiq 1.5 DSG 2020reg (regularly serviced) displayed 'Gearbox in Emergency Mode'. Very near home so able to limp home. Dealer took it in and fixed it under extended warranty. All okay until a month ago when it happened again, this time far from home. Switched off the car, restarted and all back to normal and drove perfectly. Yesterday it happened again and only D2 available. Started car today, no problem, all working, no warning sign. I'll be contacting the dealer again

Fabia Mk2 Vcds Abs

StephFR · 14 April14 Apr

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with my brake pedal (basically going to the floor), and I suspect it might be related to the ABS module. I tried to scan the ABS unit for fault codes using VCDS, but I’m unable to communicate with it: it seems like CAN communication is not available. Is this normal on a Fabia Mk2 (5J), or should I definitely be able to access the ABS module via CAN? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

1.5 Tsi Power Cutting Out

Missph · 16 February, 20242 yr

Evening, just looking to see if anyone is experiencing the same issue as me with my Karoq 1.5 Tsi (73 plate)…. So the car has perhaps half a dozen times or more cut out completely when slowing down, no stall / kangaroo or otherwise, power simply gone, resulting in me having to restart the car when in a rolling motion. Very unnerving especially with traffic approaching. I’ve tried to recreate the event on quiet roads with no success so I’ve no idea what action causes this. I had thought

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

JHowe · 17 hours ago17 hr

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
