Skoda Octavia vRS Mk1 55 plate only 84,000 miles

Featured Replies

For sale is my Skoda Octavia vRS mk1 in Corrida Red which I have owned for the last 7 years.  The car is a 2005 registration on a 55 plate and is one of the last mk1 vRS Octavia’s. The car is low mileage for its age having only done 83,420 miles. I was hoping to keep this car for another couple of years but there is just not enough space in the rear for all the kids so I have upgraded to a skoda superb estate 3.6.  

The tax has just been renewed until 30/06/2015 and the MOT runs until 29/9/14.

 

There are numerous tasteful modifications which I believe enhance the quality of this vehicle which I have listed below:

 

Car Engine, Clutch and Gearbox

  • Forge Silicone turbo intake pipe, Forge silicone turbo and intercooler hose kit, Samco silicone air intake hose
  • Carbonio cold air intake
  • Forge diverter valve
  • Blueflame Turbo back exhaust with 200 cell Cat
  • Jabba Sport Custom Remap (238 BHP, 247 lbs/ft) rolling road printout provided
  • Sachs VR6 clutch kit and G60 flywheel fitted February 2012 and only done just over 20,000 miles
  • Peloquin 02J Differential (LSD) fitted by Jabba Sport

 

Car Suspension

  • Neuspeed 28mm Rear anti roll bar
  • Audi S3 Top and Bottom Strut Braces
  • Dogbone mount polybushes

 

Car (other exterior mods)

  • Freshly refurbished (by the wheel Specialist) vRS spiders in gloss black which are in brand new condition.
  • Body coloured bump strips
  • Silver Bonnet lifters
  • Audi R8 oil cap
  • vRS Wheel Decals x 4
  • Audi TT Jacking points x4
  • Golf Mk4 Aero wiper arms and Bosch Aero wipers
  • HEKO Wind Deflectors

 

Car Interior Modifications

  • Apexi boost gauge (bar) mounted on the dashboard
  • Interior rear lights near the grab handles
  • Cobra 3198 Insurance Approved Thatcham Cat 1 Alarm
  • Autogauge gauges x 3 (Oil press, Air/fuel ratio and Voltmeter)
  • Golf Mk4 Leather Armrest and Black Carpet
  • Audi S3 Recaro Interior which are so much better than the standard vRS seats and are 6 way electric adjustable seats
  • Full NoiseKiller kit and sound deadening to front and rear doors, Under carpet and Boot
  • Door card sprayed black to match the carpet/seats

 

Car Stereo Modifications

  • Alpine 9855R car stereo
  • Rainbow front speakers, tweeters and crossovers
  • JBL rear speakers

 

Other

  • The car comes with two keys and currently has Barum Bravuris (made by Continental) 225/45/17 tyres on all round with 6mm of tread
  • Winter rubber floor mats and rubber boot liner
  • 2 x Michelin Pilot sport 3 225/45/17 tyres which are below the legal limit although probably good for a track day
  • B and M style short shifter which I never got around to fitting to the car

 

Service History

  • The car has extensive service history from Skoda and Awesome GTI and for the past couple of years has been serviced by myself with oil and filter changes every 5,000 miles with Mobile 1 0W-40 Fully Synthetic Oil.
  • Oil pick up pipe changed at 54,000 miles
  • Cambelt and water pump changed at 61,000 miles February 2012 so does not need doing for another couple of years/40,000 miles whichever comes sooner.

 

As to be expected with a 9 years old car there are a few minor marks and scratches but there are no dents in the bodywork. The car has previously (before my ownership) had a small front end bump which has misaligned the bumper and the radiator is slightly further back approx 1 cm. The air con is not blowing cold at the moment so would benefit from a re-gas as the last re-gas was 3 years ago. I have removed some items of trim from the boot which unfortunately broke when I was putting a large chest of drawers in the boot so these are currently missing but can easily be replaced.  Rear passenger door which looks like a gritter has chipped a few bits of the paint, right wing mirror does not move (the left one does), some very minor cuts in the drivers seat bolster of the drivers S3 Recaro seat.

 

The car has just been freshly waxed and polished and will be cleaned inside and out for the new owner. This car really needs to seen/driven to be appreciated as although the photos look good it looks even better in the flesh! The car during my ownership has always been run on shell v-power or Tesco momentum 99 Ron fuel for best performance and economy.

 

The vehicle is located in Littleborough which is approximately 15 miles north of Manchester. Any viewing is welcome and if interested in buying the car, with proof of insurance, a test drive.

 

This car has been a brilliant vehicle for the last 7 years and I really don’t want to sell it but hope it goes to a good home. The vehicle is priced to sell along with the extras at £2,495  ONO. Any questions please ask.

 

If interested or you have any questions please contact me on 07729209931. I have loads more photos of the vehicle so if required I can send your some more photographs.

 

Also I have a the below which I am sure can be negotiated within the price.

  • Roof bars with four keys
  • A full set of vRS spiders in silver with Nankang SV2 Winter tyres 6 mm of tread

None of the bad bits have ever caused me any issues and the car still drives very well. Any inspection or test drives are welcome.
