Hi all, just wanted to say hi as I've just joined after buying a mk1 octy vRS estate.

Its a black 03 plate with 55k miles. Drives lovely and looks the part as well

Its not had a cambelt done yet and is due a service as well so anyone recommend a place for me to take it?

I'm in Essex near East London.

Cheers,

Rob

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.

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

Spiffer · 3 hours ago3 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.
