I am just inheriting my father in laws Octavia Estate Laurin & Klement mk1 PD130 in black. 2004/54

Massive spec as my daily driver (I also have an Elise S1 as a toy - hence i know the value of community forums).

Interested in keeping it in fine fettle and perhaps a cheeky chip? Early advice appreciated )

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

justas1982 · Friday at 05:233 days

I was never happy with the performance of the original brakes. The braking efficiency felt poor, and in wet weather the discs would quickly develop surface rust. When braking in damp or rainy conditions, the noise made it sound like I was driving an old car with worn-out brakes. After 50,000 km, I decided to replace the brakes. I installed Zimmermann discs and pads on the front axle. Braking performance didn't improve noticeably, but the annoying noise in wet weather is finally gone. Now I only

2005 1.9 tdi no a/c?

Sotac · 1 hour ago1 hr

So it's hot, and I want to get my A/C working. It hasn't been working for a while and I've tried to figure out what's wrong, but I keep hitting a dead end. If I turn the A/C on, I can hear the gas "hiss" and the revs drop slightly, so it seems like part of the system is turning on. Today I thought I'd have another look at it. I checked all of the fuses and they're all fine, including the ones on top of the battery. The only thing I noticed is that when the A/C is on, neither of the radiator fans

Hi all. About a month ago a picked up my first car, a 2016 Fabia. The dealership noted 'applied lubricant front window mechanism' Since driving it the past month, the window was become very squeaky!

2017 facelift Octavia VRS audio upgrade

LewisWulski · 23 hours ago23 hr

Hi everyone. I've had my facelift Octavia for about 8 months now and put on about 10k miles. Absolutely love the car but there's one thing that bugs me about the car that Im hoping to address: The audio. Its poor quality, crackles (on certain frequency ranges) and has no bass at all. I believe my car came with the MIB2.5 and the basic audio package and Im looking to upgrade the speakers and add a small sub into the car. Im not looking for window shattering bass. just something I can actually
