Snap ring requirement on new driveshaft

Followers

31 March, 20242 yr

Ordered part number 1KO 407 271 CP

In installation guide to the BGA driveshaft it states: 'Always Use a New Snap Ring to manufacturers specification'

Does this mean I have to replace the one already fitted with a new Skoda Snap ring?

If so is there a tool as my circlip pliers were useless on the old one. Got it off on a vice and flathead...but how to put back on as experiment. No way touch new yet... Mmmmm gearbox oil residue. What a joke.

Anyway I ordered the clips, as cheap, but do they really need to go on?

Looking a the driveshat bolts are they really one shot. Look more like alloy than steel?

Lots of question trying to figure this out as a hobbiest... Have I bet on the right horse lol.

Fitting Coilover Suspension to a 2009 Yeti

Stewart1701 · 20 January20 Jan

Boxing Day evening whilst static at lights an ambulance damaged my passenger wing and front panel plus headlight and my insurers gave it a non economic write off type “N” so I’m allowed to repair and use again with no long term insurance issues. Having stripped out wing, front panel, headlight and the wheel arch liner I’m thinking it is also a good time to replace front suspension as it will be easy to do with it open. If I do coilovers I would need to do all four corners and want a smoother ri

Towball Height

kempus · 7 hours ago7 hr

Hi All, I (unfortunately) have a tow trust towbar fitted and apart from the Skoda coding debacle, I am concerned about it's height. I know the centre of the tow ball is supposed to be between 350 mm and 420 mm when loaded with 4 people and luggage but even with lots of weight in the boot and the trailer hitched, mine is still nearer 50cm. If anyone on here has the factory fit tow towbar and an L & K estate on 18" wheels, I would be interested to know what the height the centre of your tow

Insurance for a low-mileage Mk2 Octavia 1.9 TDI PD (BJB) - Specialist/Enthusiast advice needed

Outdoorsman · 54 minutes ago54 min

Hi everyone, I’m a relatively new member here but I’ve been maintaining my 2004 Skoda Octavia Mk2 (1.9 TDI PD) as a "time capsule" with only 21,000 miles. It’s my only car, used for social/domestic/pleasure, and I’m looking for some advice on insuring it as an enthusiast/modern classic. The car has been professionally rust-proofed/Dynaxed by BAS Cherished Cars and has an OEM cruise control retrofit. I am also planning a software-only "hot start" fix via a local specialist before my August rene
