High mileage VRS

Followers

26 June, 201115 yr

Possibly looking at buying a cheap diesel run around car. Had a VRS from 04-08 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Have the change to buy a high mileage 04 vrs, 160k, 2-3 car park dents, no major cosmetic damage, , bit of history and receipts. Looking Â£2850.

Anything to watch out for being high mileage?

Mine is on over 100K now - still runs great!

I'd want more than "a bit of history" tbh

Hi, new to forum. Hopefully someone might be able to help. 2011 Octavia Scout, 2.0 diesel. Will start and immediately cuts out. No comms with any module except ECM via k-line. Have changed Gateway module, ECM and instrument cluster for known working units. Unplugged every module. Checked every fuse. All relays good. Other faults - electric windows not working, engine fans running, parking brake warning light flashing. Do not appear to have any commas on Can Bus, would be grateful for any suggest

Does having a vRS with 4X4 bring a noticeable improvement to the car?

Does having a vRS with 4X4 bring a noticeable improvement to the car?

Sinbad1900 · 1 May1 May

This is a follow up to a previous question I posed recently. I had a 2008 vRS for over 12 years and really loved it before moving on to something different. Looking to getting back into vRS ownership again and toying with the idea of finding one with the 4x4 drive train. If anyone has been able to compare the two, is there a noticeable improvement in road handling with this variant? Thanks

Fabia vRS rough idol on cold start-up

I’m having a issue on start-up from cold there is a noticeable lumpy idling. This hasn’t caused any massifier codes when scanning via VCDS. Last year as part of the service the sparkplugs were changes but the rough idol is getting more noticeable. My Audi had the same issue that eventually resulted in constant misfire. That was diagnosed as having a carbon build-up. I don’t want to have the same issue occurring with the Fabia. As the CTHE is direct injection and has done 41k miles I’m guessin

Hello people, I got a 2011, VRS a few days ago. Primarily for a long trip. Seems decent so far, but I want to add power, music and just get things working. I have a few issues/questions. Hoping these are common and easy for experienced here, I have been trawling forum, maybe I have missed some stuff. The head unit did not display. The touch screen worked but there was no display. I tried removing fuse. No luck. (Bolero, Delphi) I purchased a head unit from breaker (Bolero, blaupunkt), assum
