Hi all,

I thought I'd start a worklog of the stuff I've done on my '07 VRS PD170 Octavia.

 

>Bought in June 2017

 

> Cambelt and service done in July by "Performance Driven" in Taunton @123000 miles.

    Very happy with the service, price and advice.

Next up,

 

One night at work I thought I'd add some rear parking sensors. £15 off eBay and been faultless so far! Wired into the rear lamp cluster and installed next to the CD changer.

Not quite the right colour, but they are only a friction fit so should be easy to sort with a rattle can of raceblau when I get around to it!

Do you want this moving to 'projects'? 

That brings us up to date today.

 

I'd been noticing some uneven wear between the front pads and could feel some vibration in the pedal. So I took the plunge and ordered some new discs and pads.

 

I couldn't find much in the way of walkthroughs for the VRS brakes so I can put up some more details if required.

 

 

The old ones were pretty shot!

 

 

 

 

A pretty easy job, the brake reqind tool was a great timesaver and should be useful for the rears.

 

 

 

 

 

All nice and shiny! Forgot to get a pic with the pads on too!

Sorry, yes please!

A little job for the afternoon;

 

An intermittant high level brake light.

 

The old one had three LEDs out and the cover fell off during removal. The gen replacement looks much better!

 

 

Looking good, just got the same car, pick it up tomorrow, its just had the cam belt, water pump, and new discs and pads fitted all round prior to collection  , looking forward to see what else you do to yours!.

 

 

Jim.

 

It's good to see a couple more blue estates being looked after.  Also, they're both 57 plates which is the same as mine, although ours is petrol.
