Gear knob insert - why don't I have it?

Followers

8 April, 201412 yr

I own a 2011 Octavia VRS 2.0TDI. Why don't I have a VRS logo on my gear knob, like the one in the link below? Are they custom parts or only on certain models? Anyone know why mine doesn't have it?

Can I get one of these to custom fit for the 6 speed gear box?

The one in your link is from a MkI Fabia vRS.

This is the standard facelift Octavia vRS gear knob...

The newer vRS's don't get a logo'd gear stick but Superskoda do 5 and 6 speed inserts with a vRS logo for half that price:

Mine's a perfect fit in place of the original.

As said above, Superskoda one is a perfect fit, I also changed mine for the matt silver one because I'm not a fan of shiny chrome http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/303917-dans-2010-octavia-vrs-tfsi-wagon/?p=3646230

Just replaced my worn/chipped chrome standard insert on my '60' plate vRS. Thought of getting the SuperSkoda one but ended up getting a genuine one, from a Škoda garage on eBay. £12

How does the old one come off?

This is the one I have, but I prefer the one with the VRS logo. Thanks anyway

Use a small trim remover or a terminal screwdriver to carefully lever the insert off.

Yes I do. Bought from a Skoda Garage on eBay, it's the OEM replacement part so no \\V on it though.

Oil pressure sensor failure twice in 3 weeks

JezHarris · 13 June13 Jun

Hi. I was recovered to a dealership 3 weeks ago after going into limp mode EPC and getting an Oil pressure sensor failure warning. A blade type fuse was replaced and car returned to me. After 3 weeks and 1000 miles i had identical issue and car had to be recovered again. Prior to all of this the engine had suddenly developed a very noticable clatter - initially under load but after the first sensor issue its present all the time. Skoda wont look into this unless i pay £1500 for strip down only

EPC Light and Stop Start Error

EPC Light and Stop Start Error

umar1arda · 18 April, 20251 yr

Yesterday, on the way back from work, my car suddenly had a stop start error and the EPC light came on, the car functions completely normal and there's no difference in how it was driving before... My friend used a obd2 scanner which showed no fault codes on the ECU, cleared it and the light and error went away, I drove a bit and there are no lights or errors on the car, I was just wondering what could have caused this as online it says anything from turbo waste gate or actuator problems to a

I have a couple of hatchback accessories to give away

Tankdave · 12 June12 Jun

One is the reversable boot floor, carpet one side and a sort of plastic the other. Both items are in great condition too Second is a rear sun screen, it's a mesh material in a metal frame that you clip inside the hatch window, it keeps out a ton of heat and you can take it out for winter, you can't see into the car also. My 280 had tinted side windows but the rear glass was not done. Both are huge and would be prohibitively awkward to post. If you want either you WILL need to come to Swindon.
