[1.8T engine - 20,000 mile service?!]

Hi

20k service consists of oil and oil filter and the pollon filter.

These are replaced every 20k.

40k is oil , air , fuel and pollon.Spark plugs for the petrols.

But every 10,30,50,70 etc are oil filter replacements.

You can have a garage service your car that is not a dealer.

This can be a bit cheaper than dealers.

We do servicing and as part of the service check we put on the diagnostics to check them out.

Use genuie parts.

As for the oil we use fully synthetic oil.Just dont go for the full out one at

[Virgin!]

There is lots of info and people are friendly too.

Any advise that you need just ask.

They will help.

We had Josh`s car in for a service on saturday and could not wait to see this in the flesh.

It is a good finnish looks very smart and well fitted.

It had a few marks on it already due to the lowering that Josh has done to it.

Whoever is in on the GB have got themselves a tidy little mod.

Hi Virgin

It is.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Have fun , we do.

[Rally Red/ VW equivalent...]

I have delt with Butts Of Bawtry for a while and I have found them to be very good.

Maz is one of the best there.

She is good.

Very clever lady!

No problem with the help.

See how it goes.

Sarah

[Rally Red/ VW equivalent...]

No I havent heard any good of hafords mix up paint.

Could you not get a Skoda dealer to post them out.

I used to do that for many people at the dealer.

You could try Butts Of Bawtry they post out and have them in stock.

Save you going to anyone then just wait for the post man to drop it at your door?

But yes another dealer should recognise it.

If not then it means it could be different.

Try Butts

I would. 01302 718224

Sarah

[Rally Red/ VW equivalent...]

No if they have a colour that will match this should be the same part number.

Call a near dealer and they should be able to help you

Sarah

[Rally Red/ VW equivalent...]

HFA380039 is the part number you need.

You could try that with your nearst dealer?

Sarah

[VRS 30k service]

Hi

Yes the 30k service the oil and filter is the only thing to be replaced.

40K you change the oil , air , fuel and pollon filters.

Agree you should have told them to replace the front tyres.

Then it could be worth getting the tracking checked at the same time.

Good choice of car though.

The Green Cotton Filter is also a very good 1st mod.

Sarah

[Felicia battery issues, not charging...]

Yup they are.

I saw one that had blown the battery and acid went on to the ECU and bu**ered that up.

So it ended up being an expensive fix.

[Poorly 1.8T]

Yup they will.

They are not that reliable.

I had 2 in my Felicia in the space of 2 months.

Then had to go for the petrol one to go in my diesel to stop the problem.

But take your recipt if you have it to your dealer.

Cant remember if it is 1 or 2 years on them.

Try it.

[Octy vRS alloys-fault?]

Peel one off and if it does look bad take it back to the dealer as a warranty claim.

But IIFC there is no film to take off.

Sarah

[Red octy - do they fade]

Red is renowned for soaking up the sun and fading.

Use a VERY good wax and I think you will get better protection.

Think it would work a bit like sunblock

Sarah

[Poorly 1.8T]

All the parts if purchased from a dealer comes with a warranty.

When did you have the last one put in.

Also was it done under the warranty last time.

Sarah

[1.9 TDi PD100 what can be done?]

You have lots to choose from now.

www.custom-code.co.uk is another choice.

Remap on the is

[Docs Orders!]

Did you have it form new?

If yes give customer care a call.

[MOMO lower brace]

We are going to try If that is ok with Hellfire.

OMP is the one I have been trying to get hold of.

Wonder if I could...Mmmm leave it with me.

Sarah

[Docs Orders!]

Hi

I am sure that the PAS sensor was covered in to a 4th year and possibly the anti roll bar.

How old is the car?

Sarah

[MOMO lower brace]

Mmm I have spent quite a bit of time looking in to this.

The engine code is the same and the chassis legs are the same.

But then we could be wrong.

Had a chat with our head technician and he also said "well it should fit"

But it would be good to have a try at some time?

[MOMO lower brace]

:confused:

At the end of that post there was a telephone number , does that mean you can call?

[MOMO lower brace]

I have had not much luck at all with them.

The only way to get through was e mail and if I got a reply it was very bleak.

I dont know if it is me , but I am always weary about dealing with e mail only.

I like to talk and ask questions so a phone line always helps.

Or am I being old fashioned in my approach?

[Lowering springs for Octavia 4x4]

Hi

Yes we can get these for the 4X4 just like we did Eddy`s

Sarah

[where can I find octavia owner's manual?]

Get your retailers parts chap (or chapess eh Sarah?) to call retailer support. Chances are he is ordering the part through an obsolete part number and there is a newer version available. Skoda are not good at superceding literature part numbers

Hi

Didnt know BIG brother was watching

Yo mate I know who to look out for now!

See you soon uo our neck of the woods!

Sarah

[Another noobie]

Hi and welcome.

Yes they are all clever on here.

Think Skoda would do well in employing some of them.

Have fun and use the search button as this will be your best friend.

[Time to mod my vrs]
