octy 4x4 estate feeler ( i really need diesel )

[missingmyvrs]

Professionally modified Silver 2001 Skoda Octavia 4x4 turbo

I have very recently had the full engine / box out and replaced the clutch solid flywheel and vr6 clutch / cover. The box has the longer VRS ratios compared to the normal low ones on the 4x4 setup. This gives a lot better cruising capability and also easy 35mpg on a mixed run compared to more like 30 at best in the original ratios (40mpg on a steady motorway trip easy to obtain). During the engine out I transplanted a load of upgrades and cleaned / tested or replaced all most every single item

Running the latest revo stge 2+ software is pushing about 235bhp and utilizing the k03s turbo gives instant response and more than enough to surprise other sports models mix this with fantastic traction of the 4wd is a real performance sleeper and great in bad weather making it a very safe, practical performance car

Full 12 months tax and 12 months MOT and full service completed 2k ago, always ran on v-power

Interior

2004 Leon Cupra seats. This suits the car better as they maintain the 4x4 side airbags wiring. You don’t get side airbags on the VRS. This gives you an extra NCAP star over the octavia vrs

The car has all the standard 4x4 goodies as it’s based on the Elegance specification:

Climate Control (nice and cold) re-gassed last year

4 x Electric Windows / Remote locking.

OE skoda metal dog guard (also for safe storage)

OE genuine floor mats front and back < >VRS interior trim on facia / gear surround

Car has completed 122k which will increase as still using this month, not only is a fantastic family car but very practical and tows very well. s. The car ran stock 150bhp for the 1^st 112k with full dealer service history. Engine pulls strong with no faults or issues at all. There are a few minor things to point out that I have not got round to finishing yet and now due to selling am not going to bother tbh. Rear tailgate has the common start of some small rust patches (highlighted in picture), keys need synchronizing to allow button lock / unlock (kar locks by using drivers or boot barrel lock), few very small faint scratches and minor stone chips out of bumper it is an 11 year old car still and overall in very very good condition.

. Those in the know will confirm this car is built on the mk4 R32 platform and shares the same Quattro setup and all the know upgrades to the chassis have been completed with subframe strengthening and other supporting mods. Turbo had no play or cracks etc when the engine was out

To have purchased all the items new on the car and fit you are looking at a very large number in deed (approx £12k has been spent on the modifications fitted to this car from the last few years with paper work to support)

I am happy to answer any questions and the car really has wanted for nothing since my ownership and spent far more on it than the asking price, let alone the labour costs it would be to pay someone to fit these parts. Never let me down and been effectively audi parts I am sure will do another 100k miles with correct servicing. Skoda de spec'd this car to not compete with the higher audi items on sale and I have effectively turned it into a well spec's audi S3 estate

- non smoking, in fact no signs of anyone smoking in the car from the ashtray

- No oil leaks, boost leaks, fuel leaks - can provide more pictures on request

Short lived mate

Thats nearly as quick as my brother cycles thru motors lol

Whats next

[octimark]

Has it got the upgraded haldex unit?

If it helps the sale Clive the new owner can have my old fully resprayed and rust treated rear boot. Only problem is its black not silver It was a common problem on the mk1 octy estate but is easily sorted.

These cars are fantastic and this one has been modded well. When I had my 4x4 it was great in all weathers but as soon as it was wet or snow it was in a different class.

If your interested in a car like this you need to go and see/drive it then you will be 100% sold on it.
