hi Folks

just joined as I'm about to start looking for a replacement for my current motor - an Alfa 156 2.0ts.

Thinking of going diesel as I do 50 miles per day to work so the Fabia VRS is top of my list.

My mate has the Octavia VRS and it's a great motor, just to heavy on the fuel so kind of rules it out.

Not had a test drive yet, will keep you posted once I do

cheers

Which Front Shock Absorbers are correct for Skoda 1Z5 1.6Tdi with RoughRoad Design 2UB ?

alfpt · 4 hours ago4 hr

Hello, Can anyone inform me what should be the correct Front Shock Absorbers to Maintain the spec of Rough road (2UB) on a Skoda Octavia Combi II (1Z5) ? Original Shocks Code: 1K0 412 021 KP I Believe current codes should be : 1K0 413 031 EJ or 1K0 413 031 BL (can anyone confirm ?) Im considering Bilstein but it's hard to find the correct part number for Rough Road. If anyone knows the part numbers of SACHS or KYB also please inform. Diameter of shocks housing = 50 mm Best Regards.

Best place to mount a 2kg fire extinguisher – legal requirement in Greece

Best place to mount a 2kg fire extinguisher – legal requirement in Greece

fr1nklyn · 18 minutes ago18 min

Hey guys, I need to keep a 2kg fire extinguisher in my car due to legal requirements in Greece and I’m trying to figure out the best mounting spot. My main concern is securing it properly so it doesn’t rattle or move around while driving. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with this — where did you mount yours, and did you use a dedicated bracket or holder? Any tips on keeping it secure without damaging the interior would be great. Thanks in advance!

3V0827566N pinout DIY wiring mistake. Burned rear camera by sending 12V to CAN High

Raiko84 · Saturday at 19:461 day

Hello everyone I decided to update my 2014 Skoda Octavia to a newer age. First changed the MIB1 to MIB2, and then decided to add a rear view camera (there are other projects on the way like MFK1 to MFK2). I want to tell the story so someone else does not make the same mistakes I did. My Skoda never had a camera, so I bought one from a scrapyard, a 3V0827566N without the wiring harness, it scrapped with the body. But since I had no wiring I needed a harness, contacted Skoda Parts, got no concre

Am I mad to think about buying a 24 year old Skoda Fabia?

Mory · 6 minutes ago6 min

I have been looking around for a basic cheap run around - automatic - but witout much success. There is a 2002 Fabia 1.4 16V Classic 5dr forr sale near me. £2700 (which is overpriced I feel) with 66500 miles on the clock and it says 1 previious keeper. Am I mad to be considering a 24 year old car? I just missed out on a 2013 fabia though I was worried about the DSG gearbox. I used to have sometime ago a 2003 Skoda fabia and loved it. But I'm worried about taking on such a old car. I m

Bonjour de la Suisse !

Bonjour à tous! I'm Xavier from Switzerland and a brand-new member of the Skoda world. A few days ago, I bought a beautiful 2012 Skoda Superb Mk2 Laurin & Klement 2.0 TDI 170 PS. The car is in remarkably good condition, both inside and out, and the engine runs great. With only 245,000 km on the clock, it's barely broken in... right? 😄 I'm an amateur mechanic and long-time BMW enthusiast. Over the years I've tackled quite a few jobs myself, including timing chain replacement on BMW engines,
