Spacers & Lowering.. good idea on 400miles per week? (VRS MK2)

Followers

16 March, 201412 yr

I ran 15mm hubcentric spacers on the rear with Eibach Pro springs for about 18k on my 11 plate vRS with no issues.

Personally I wouldn't use less than 15mm spacers, I was always concerned that there wasn't enough metal for them to be structurally robust.

Just the post I was looking for. Already ordered the Eibach pro springs. Just need to decide on spacers. Cheers guys

Which Front Shock Absorbers are correct for Skoda 1Z5 1.6Tdi with RoughRoad Design 2UB ?

alfpt · 5 hours ago5 hr

Hello, Can anyone inform me what should be the correct Front Shock Absorbers to Maintain the spec of Rough road (2UB) on a Skoda Octavia Combi II (1Z5) ? Original Shocks Code: 1K0 412 021 KP I Believe current codes should be : 1K0 413 031 EJ or 1K0 413 031 BL (can anyone confirm ?) Im considering Bilstein but it's hard to find the correct part number for Rough Road. If anyone knows the part numbers of SACHS or KYB also please inform. Diameter of shocks housing = 50 mm Best Regards.

I have a rattle as stated above, we diagnosed it today as front brake pads rattling in the carriers. 2014 Fabia vrs, proving very difficult to source oem correct new carriers in red, I have ordered some from Autodoc and will paint them before we fit them It initially sounded like exhaust contacting chassis or loose subframe fasteners

2012 Skoda Fabia - Air Circulation Button - Banging Noise

teddy2006 · 2 hours ago2 hr

Hi, I brought a 2012 Skoda Fabia in May 2026 and the air circulation button (i think) when you press it or turn on aircon which automatically turn on it makes an awful banging noise Has anyone had this issue and know what the solution is (other than leaving off) Also the passenger electric window will open on passenger switch but close only on driver (is that common?) cheers

Best place to mount a 2kg fire extinguisher – legal requirement in Greece

fr1nklyn · 33 minutes ago33 min

Hey guys, I need to keep a 2kg fire extinguisher in my car due to legal requirements in Greece and I’m trying to figure out the best mounting spot. My main concern is securing it properly so it doesn’t rattle or move around while driving. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with this — where did you mount yours, and did you use a dedicated bracket or holder? Any tips on keeping it secure without damaging the interior would be great. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone I decided to update my 2014 Skoda Octavia to a newer age. First changed the MIB1 to MIB2, and then decided to add a rear view camera (there are other projects on the way like MFK1 to MFK2). I want to tell the story so someone else does not make the same mistakes I did. My Skoda never had a camera, so I bought one from a scrapyard, a 3V0827566N without the wiring harness, it scrapped with the body. But since I had no wiring I needed a harness, contacted Skoda Parts, got no concre
