BUYING ADVICE NEEDED. 2.0 TFSI VRS

Have seen a 2006 Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 TFSI. Only thing I'm worried about is the cambelt hasn't been changed and its done 67k on the clock. Does anyone know what the cost of changing the cambelt is on one of these and would it be Ok that the cambelt hasn't been changed at 67k?

Golden rule ..always put a cambelt on even if it's not due...plus it is well over due. Just budget £200 to cover it ..i work on the theory 30k or 4 year whatever car it is..manufacturers change intervals to suit themselves or when they start getting premature failures.

Scout Aftermarket Suspension

fr1nklyn · 8 August, 20232 yr

I've done some research on the higher and stiffer shock absorbers and coil springs which Skoda offers on Scout models and found their aftermarket analogues: * Front Shocks: Bilstein B4 #22-274182 * Front Springs: ??? * Rear Shocks: Bilstein B4 #19-274195 * Rear Springs: SACHS 992 103 (analogue of OEM #5Q0511115AM) My queries are: 1/ What are the higher and stiffer front springs OEM numbers? 2/ Are there good aftermarket alternatives for the same? 3/ Is there better rear

2020 Kamiq with ACC - opinions?

Maxr · 4 December, 20241 yr

I'm looking at a 2020 Kamiq SEL as a second car, which has the fairly rare 'adaptive' cruise control (not 'predictive adaptive'). I've had mixed experiences with ACC on two Citroens. My recent C5 has it, and it works great and very smoothly so long as you remember that all it really does is keep you on station with the car in front and stop you running into it. Before that had an older Berlingo. That had ACC that it worked, but that system braked fairly hard and later than I'd have liked, then a

Looking for EA888.4+DQ381 Tune Feedback

TagEldinAhmed · Tuesday at 15:202 days

Hello all, I'm looking for some feedback from those of you who have their EA888.4 ECU and DQ381 TCU tuned. Ideally, from those with the 245 version, although I'll still happily hear out those with similar EA888.3 245/280 models. I'm currently in between two possible solutions: a comprehensive RacingLine OEM+ Stage 1 ECU/TCU tune, versus a combinations of Revo Stage 1 (ECU) and TVS Stage 2+ (TCU). In both scenarios, I'll be aiming for a 95RON, low-torque file, since I'm not only limited by the

Tool kit foam insert
Skoda Superb Mk3 (2015 - 2023)

Tool kit foam insert

ironduke87 · Monday at 20:383 days

Bit of a long shot here. I have very recently bought a 66 plate Superb estate, which came with a steel 16" spare in the boot. It also came with the foam insert and tool kit for the 18" wheel, which obviously doesn't work. Does anyone have the foam insert from an old 16" sat around that they would be prepared to sell? The garage I bought from were not the most helpful, and I don't think that is likely to change any time soon. Cheers in advance.

Reversing camera display change after update.

NormanE · 1 hour ago1 hr

Whilst in France last week my car received an infotainment update, The car is a 2024 Octavia Vrs diesel hatchback, with a reversing camera retrofitted by East Yorkshire Retrofit. After the update two odd things happened. Firstly the reversing camera did not work at all the first time I reversed the car after the update. Then it worked, but instead of the full screen showing the camera view, it is now two thirds camera view and one third a top-down outline of the car with curved lines showing the
