My vRS...

[marcinp]

Hi All,

My name is Marcin and about 3 weeks ago I bought my first ever VAG group car witch is Octavia 2009 vRS 2.0 tsi DSG. The car is ex-show car from a Doncaster dealer. This car has been bought by Peter who only had it for a short time then I found him and bought it of him so I'm the third owner.  It has only 36000 miles on the clock and it is in excellent condition. So far vehicle has been serviced by Skoda and still has 9 months approved Skoda warranty.

I never knew that this is so lovely car and later I may have some plans ...

My previous car was a Toyota Corolla Tsport witch has gone now to my friend I hope he will look after her, I have invested a lot of time and money in my last project, but because my family is getting bigger I was in place then the small hatchback is not big enough so I bought my Octavia !

Car is completely standard for now ...

 

any suggestions / recommendations welcome

(I'm a bit worry about timing chain tensioner and DSG gearbox please let me know if there is anything I need to know)

 

 

I will keep updating my project ! 

Many thanks

oh yes b12 for sure !  my last car was very low and i have lots of trouble with it, so please remember don't go to low

 

I'm still thinking about shark stage 1 for my vRS but for now I believe rear anti roll bar was the best mod ( well real mod not just plastic )

yeah that should be okay , octavia sitting really high so it will make a different but shouldn't cause any problems on the road

Its quite annoying that even the VRS actually sits around the same hight as the normal octavia ?
