2006 Octavia VRS 1.8T Estate

Featured Replies

I bought this from a Briskoda member in December 2011, original advert - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/218421-sale-agreed-2006-octavia-vrs-18t-estate-4695/?hl=vrs+estate#entry2614602

 

The following is from the original advert, with the text in red being the changes I've made over the last 3 years.

 

Spec :-

77000 miles

HPI clear

Recovered full leather Golf GTi seats including centre rear fold-down console.

4 Heko wind deflectors
Nokia Bluetooth hands-free phone system
Pioneer MP3 USB stereo
Focal front speakers

Wheels & Tyres:
Rare (& expensive!) BBS 17" forged alloys & tyres (225/45/17 Bridgestone 050A rear, almost new 225/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 front)
Wheel arch extensions/trims (Skoda genuine)

Suspension:
Front wishbones
Front ball joints
Weitec Hicon GT
Front turret mounts
Bump stops
Powermax rear bushes
ARB bushes
4 x driveshaft boots
4-wheel alignment

Brakes:
Brake discs (Mintex)
Brake pads (Skoda)

Engine:

Aftermarket dump valve, sure it's a Forge 007P
Powermax dogbone
Cambelt, idlers, adjuster, water pump (upgraded)

Lights:
Phillips ultra bright bulbs (no illegal Xenons!)

VRS car mats and a (rare) genuine Skoda boot floor cover.

 

The car has 13 months MOT and is taxed until the end of June, however there are a few problems that will need addressing :-

 

2 window motors for both passenger doors

New central locking mechanism for the front drivers door (provided)

Rocker cover gasket

'Possibly' a head gasket, although I do a lot of short journeys

The hatch is starting to rust under the glass

The lacquer is starting to peel off on the roof

There are small marks/scratches/dints on some panels

 

MOT advisories :-

 

Both anti-roll bar linkages have slight play in a ball joint

Both strut tops on the front suspension have slight movement

Front brake pads wearing thin

Offside front seat belt damaged but not affecting its operation

 

Based on all of the above, I'm looking for £1500 ono, but a good inspection is recommended. More pics on request.
