Mk3 Octavia vRS TSI Manual

24 December, 20232 yr

Thinking it might almost be time to move on from my trusty old mk1 Octavia vRS. 😱😢

Has anyone got any tips about things to look out for on these? Both in terms of spec and common faults.

Although I'm tempted by a facelift 245 model I don't really want to spend that much on a car, so am more likely going to be looking at cars around 2014-2016 with 60-90k on the clock. Definitely want petrol and manual.

I guess this is a common problem with the steering wheel and the silver trim piece at the bottom. Has anyone managed to find this replacement part (on AliExpress, Temu, or anywhere else)? A new one costs over €120 (https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/5e3419671vkh-steering-wheel-cover-skoda-46861.html), which seems absurdly expensive for what it is. I've seen that some people repaint it, wrap it with vinyl, or use other fixes, but I'd really prefer to find a brand-new replacement part at a rea

Camber adjustment

smithysmoo · 7 hours ago7 hr

So had both rear control arms replaced as the bolt was seized so I couldnt get the tracking done..now the tracking place say they can't get the camber inside spec because there is no adjustment for that and it will be OK as toe is good now.. Have attached the results.. Is the camber adjustment not this bolt in the pic..(which stands a chance is seized aswell)

Columbus Unit popping through speakers then rebooting

martynd7 · 4 March4 Mar

Hi all, I have a 2012 Superb estate with a Columbus head unit recently it has started to make a noise like a pop through the speakers then it shuts down and reboots, it does this all the time so it is not really usable. I have removed the unit because I read on one of the forums that it might be a bad solder joint on one of the chips, I wondered if anyone had experienced this and is the cure? Also on this point, I don't appear to have a bit that fits the screws on the case, could someone please

RNS510 Columbus "pulsing"

Spudskoda · yesterday at 08:151 day

Hello Does anyone have any knowledge of how to remedy issues with the RNS510 Columbus stereo cutting out, and a pulsing kind of heartbeat sound being emitted from the speakers? Do I need to install software? If so, how do I know which type and what version I will need, and where do I get it? Thanks in advance.

Door Umbrella

Johngerard · 23 hours ago23 hr

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde
