mk1 octavia estate

Hi there,

I joined the forum today as I am looking for a bit of background on the Octavia estate. I'm a VW man and have been trying to track down a mk4 golf TDI Estate (in white) with no luck, but during this search I've seen quite a few reasonable priced Octavia Estates for sale and thought I'd find out a bit more about them....

I currently drive a Bora PD130. It was bought as a (temporary) replacement last November for my wife when the cams went on her Bora PD150. Since then she has been driving my B5.5 2.5 V6 TDI Passat Estate as the 130 just wasn't as nice as her previous Bora, and I am left with the 130 Bora, for which I have no affection, but a growing admiration for...

This winter I'm looking to change both cars. The Passat for a similar sized VAG estate with 4wd, and a Mk4 Golf sized estate for me as a works vehicle.

So let the questions begin....

Jam Nuts Issue (Track Rod End)

joeninho · 31 May31 May

Hi guys, I'm at desperation stage here. Changed bearings on the car. Ball joints also changed. The threads on my TREs were goosed from getting the busy off, so I bought new ones to replace them. My issue is the jam nuts. I have watched/read pretty much everything that's out there, yet these things won't budge. Tried heat, spray etc. Is it definitely clockwise for both to loosen them off you are looking at the hub from the outside of the wheel arch? Lefty loosey when looking from the insid

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts c

Correct gearbox oil for Fabia 2 HTP 70 (2007) ?

Correct gearbox oil for Fabia 2 HTP 70 (2007) ?

Spiffer · 1 hour ago1 hr

I wonder if someone can help me identify the correct OEM product number for a gearbox oil change I am planning. The car is 19 years old and just passed the 50k mile mark and I thought it would be prudent to change the oil when I service it this summer. The trouble I am having is getting any reliable information from online purveyors of oil. I would like to buy original VAG oil. Mine is a 5 speed manual gearbox.
