Hello all, my name's Jack I'm from Warwickshire!

Just picked up a 55 plate Fabia VRS this morning and I love it!

Am I right in thinking that full black leather is quite rare? Here is a quick pic with my other toy :happy:

Plans are relatively minimal...

- Get my private plate onto it

- HIDs

- Lower it a touch

- Possibly Octavia Spiders

- Spray the internals of the headlights a dark colour

- Light tints all round

- Aftermarket headunit

- Wheel spacers

- Fit some decent tyres as Arrowspeed N1000s aren't ideal as I have discovered on the drive home!

Quite happy with the way it drives already so not interested in mapping it just yet.

Let me know what you all think?

Welcome to Briskoda. Does it have OEM or retrofitted leather? I had my Fabia vRS retrimmed by Seat Surgeons in York.

Would appear to be OEM as far as I know? It's just plain black, and amazingly comfy lol!

Loose bolts on camshaft pulley - Just a heads up

DB72 · 13 November, 20232 yr

Hi.... Just a bit of as heads up.... I got in my Superb 1.4 TSi 2018 (50,000 miles) on Friday night and the engine started making an almighty rattling / clattering / knocking noise. When I took it to a local indy garage the next day they said it sounds exactly like another Skoda they had in the previous week. The one they looked at before wasn't a Superb (can't remember which model they said), but it had done similar relatively low mileage and a bolt was loose at the camshaft p

Engine cut out, now won't start?

Hi everyone. First off, apologies if this has already been covered. I did take a look but couldn't find anything specific. For history, it's a 13 plate TDI vrs Octavia (MK2) was rattling like a good un' so replaced clutch and flywheel (and slave cylinder) did do a SMFW conversion too. Turns out, that WAS a problem, but the gearbox is also shot, so that's on my list to replace next. Started and drove home fine that night. Next day, I drove it to work (about 20 minutes) no problems. On my way

Hi All, I'm new to the forum, this being my first post. I am loving the community so far. I have not long ago got a new to me 2016 Octavia Scout. ODBEleven is showing a P047000 'Exhaust Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit'. I did a little searching around has not found much about this exact fault code. Does any one know what the fault is or can point me in the right direction please?

Octavia II Gearbox Drain / Fill Plug

-mike- · Wednesday at 15:364 days

Hey all, Managed to get under my partners car at the weekend to service it and change the oil. Whilst there I was quite taken by how clean the engine was, but there was a patch of what looked like oil on the undertray. This was later discovered to be coming (I believe) from the gearbox drain plug. The car has had a new clutch, flywheel and replacement box in the last twelve months and so I can only assume there's an issue with the drain plug or a seal. Looking really closely at the drain plug
