Hey,

Just popping by to say hello.

I've just purchased my first Skoda last month, a 53 plate Octavia VRS 60k on the clock and no mods. Landed on a good one!

Finding the website really useful so I thought I'd join up.

Welcome to Briskoda, Gav, and a nice choice of car there. The 1.8T engine is very robust and tuneable too.

1997, white. Two donor cars in its history, a yellow one so probably a fun and a red one, which I think was a 4 door. It's been sitting in an industrial unit for 12 year, one owner from new, some welding evident to rear turrets and 'most of the flatbed' Needs welding on the front upper wing supports and to the windscreen frame. I'm wondering if the weld in panels from a mk1 caddy would be a close enough match because they can still be got. The most

Flat Battery in Key Fob - Warning

TheAardvark · Monday at 18:334 days

My recent (non-Skoda) cars have given dashboard warnings when the battery in the key fob runs down. This gives the driver the opportunity to change the battery and to keep the key functional. The battery in my Superb's key fob recently ran down, and it went from fully operational (working the button "plip" as well as the keyless entry) to completely flat during the course of a day at work. No warnings were displayed. I was unable to plip the car open, and had to walk to a shop, purchase a ne

Amundsen MIB1 Firmware update finally completed - MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490

vRSAnt · 5 May, 20251 yr

I used a copy of this MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490 if anyone else needs, the site I think I had it from was mibsolution.one is currently down though. I was wary of the copy I had and passage of time, but it worked fine installed, I just have to clear the fault code ( have odbeleven but pro ran out and doesn't cover the adaption by looks of it) Excuse the state of my interior I don't use the car that much and could use a vaccuum.

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

justas1982 · yesterday at 05:231 day

I was never happy with the performance of the original brakes. The braking efficiency felt poor, and in wet weather the discs would quickly develop surface rust. When braking in damp or rainy conditions, the noise made it sound like I was driving an old car with worn-out brakes. After 50,000 km, I decided to replace the brakes. I installed Zimmermann discs and pads on the front axle. Braking performance didn't improve noticeably, but the annoying noise in wet weather is finally gone. Now I only
