Hi I'm Damo, but unfortuantly not the first on here it seems haha!

Just ordered a well spec'd Octavia VRS TFSI Hatchback. The Seat Leon FR+ was bought as a family car nearly 3 years ago, but now the fmaily has started the boot is just not adequate. About time I got a more sporty car as well. The seats upholstery in the the Mk2 Octavia put me off 3 years ago, but the current model is fantastic, so took a punt.

Before the seat I was driving MINI's for over 10 years. To say I miss my MINI Cooper S and my wifes matching MINI Cooper is an understatment. Going from a 240+ Pocket Rocket to a 170 Diesel was a hell of a come down.

Hoping he New Octavia VRS will get my blood flowing again. But only when my 3 month old daughter isn't in it!

Roll on October!

Damo

Prepping to do 2.0TSi clutch in future, rear main seal ?

Prepping to do 2.0TSi clutch in future - plenty of time and opportunity as I mentioned recently I have a 1.8T L&K Octy also ! I'd seen a comment at some point someone recommending to change rear main seal whilst you are in there. Something to watch for? Also as below

Octavia 2013 Tdi estate. Can't get gear shift into reverse.

JHowe · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi! I'm in need of some help please. My Octavia estate sat for 8 months unused. The battery went flat (AGM Varta) and doesn't charge. I got the car started with a different battery and then swapped in the dead battery to see if it would start charging. BUT, now the engine was running I needed to move the car a bit and found that the gear stick won't go into reverse gear. It can select 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th but not reverse. I've ordered up a new AGM battery (due in a couple of days) but this reverse

Hi I’m Allebab from Denmark I am driving a Skoda Fabia combi from 2017 tsi. Really happy with it. Before this one I had a Fabia combi mk2 tdi 2009 that I also enjoyed. I will hopefully be more active in this forum. To learn and to share. I like to clean and care my car and I’m looking to style it for looks and performance

Engine temperature sensor refitting on Fabia Mk1 1.4 MPI Classic

RiderOnTheWheel · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hello I have completely drained the cooling system to replace the coolant in my 1.4 MPI. To refill my Haynes manual says to remove the temperature sensor from the cylinder head to allow air to escape. I pulled out the clip and then lifted out the sensor which came out by pulling. I then filled the system until coolant was seen in the sensor hole. I then the replaced the sensor but noticed coolant leaking from it. On inspection noticed that the sensor was able to move up and down with the clip in

Rattle going over uneven surfaces

Rattle going over uneven surfaces

Crucian · yesterday at 16:001 day

I have a rattle as stated above, we diagnosed it today as front brake pads rattling in the carriers. 2014 Fabia vrs, proving very difficult to source oem correct new carriers in red, I have ordered some from Autodoc and will paint them before we fit them It initially sounded like exhaust contacting chassis or loose subframe fasteners
