Hi,

going to pick this up next week...

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1478246.htm

Does anyone know the car? I cant wait to get it, it looks pretty awesome.

On the list is coilovers and whiteline ARB's.

I've come from a list of jap cars, almera GTI, Integra DC5, 350Z, Impreza STI.... So hopefully this car will fit the bill currently.

Cheers guys,

I'm searching the net just now and i'm thinking about ordering the weitec coilovers for the VRS But i'm unsure what i should order at the same time so i have a few questions...

Are spring and shock setups just as good as the weitecs for fast road use? I'm just thinking for comfort as i have a baby on the way

Is it worth while fitting front and rear ARB's or is it good enough getting just the rear? Also should they be the adjustable part??

Is there any strut braces that are worth while getting?

After reading into thing a wee bit more it seems that a lot of people are unimpressed with any type of suspension that lowers the car or makes it stiffer.

Would i be correct in saying that a rear ARB would be a good starting point for handling improvementa?

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 · 16 hours ago16 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

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
