You can also include gearboxes on the SDi.
Thermostats on the 1.6.

Oh and yes you DO NOT loose warranty by having the car service at another garage.
We can reccomend anything that requires checking by warranty which we have done in the past.
We also know of common faults on the car.
Plus as sad as I am I can still remember part numbers and supersessions.
I also have the ability to check on ETCA for the parts.

I worked for a dealer for 5 years on the warranty , service , parts side.
I knew of the majority of recalls.
Yes ok there are some that I may not know.
But I can assure you that the majority of dealers will NOT go to the computer and check to see if there is a recall on your car.
Lummox I am sorry but I know that for a fact.
It is a shame but I also know that the dealer I worked at had a young apprentice that did the majority of the service work.
He was hard working and did the job correctly.
But that young lad would do up to 6 services in a day.
Dealers charge

not sure, actually... JBS like to comment?
No the quote would include parts

Hi and welcome.
What BHP diesel did you get?
You have chosen a great forum for help and advice.
Some clever people on here and they love to meet up.
Keep an eye out on whats happening.

You beat me too it John.
Would not think that that would work?
Would it not freeze up then get damp in everything and then blow up more stuff?

Had a car in for the rooling road just after having redituning.
He took his results home with him and a very large frown if that helps.

Hi
With the introduction of block excemrtion you can have your car serviced anywhere as long as they are VAT registered and use GENUINE parts.
If you go on to variable serviceing you will require the Castrol oil which retails quite high , but if you do alot of miles will work out cheeper as you would be missing a service in effect.
Yes as you say it is basicly an oil and oil filter change.
But as it is first service it requires quite a few checks as this is the first inspection the car has after it has been under load and a few journeys.

Common across the VAG range. Five minute warranty job.
Yes it is very common.
The relay is built in to the hazzard unit.
Not that expensive if it is not covered under warranty either.
Just remove the little trim on the hazzard switch.
Pull out the switch , remove the plug.
Plug in new switch push back in and replace little trim.
Job done.
Easy

06A919501 is the two pin black.

I have seen a few of these Felicia`s.
The nicest was a Dark Blue Metallic one.
It had blue leather interior.
Electric windows.
Oooooo it was nice.
But it did not have power steering.
Very heavy and a lovely little old lady driving it.
Laugh at her car though and she probably give you a good righ hander as she must have had muscles like Garth.
Low milage it was .......

You could try looking for one of them mobile people or look for a motorspares place that does radio decoding.
Theres one near me who charges
-
Well you first of all want to speak with the service manager.
Tell him what has happened.
If no joy speak with the Dealer Principle.
If no joy then on to Customer Care.
Yes the price you paid was ALOT.
The oil is pretty steep too.
It can help by saying that you are on Briskoda and will name and shame if you do not get a reduced service price for the next one or some refund.
Also get them to top up the oil.
If I remember correctly it only holds 4.5 litres.

...and just to whett the appettite.
Oh I want that car.
Mmmmmmmmmmm
Now who would want an Evo when you can have somethings as good as that!!!
Letter to Father Christmas I think.
I will be a good girl honest.

May be worth checking the door seals.
Also the Pollon Filter housing can cause a leak.
Get them checked out.
Oh and a quick check under the bonnet for leaves or muck stopping water going through.
-
Hey no worries I get paid for this.
You will love the car.
-
Hi
Yes it can be turned off.
This can be done at a dealer as there are a number of forms to be filled in.
Just give your local dealer a call and they should be able to help you.
Oh and welcome to a great forum with lots of helpfull people.
Good choice of car.

I always thought that the slight pull to the left was down to the natural camber of the road so ease rain pooring away to the side of the road.
When I was learning for the DAS on bikes thats what my instructor told me.
Thats why you dont drive so close to the kerb.
But hey he was an idiot
As for the problem , yes could be the pump or low fluid?
-
It is looking good for this GB Josh.
I think the amount of work that you have put in to this you deserve the last 2 to be filled quickly.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Being at Milton Keynes you wont have to go far to find good customer service as that is where the HQ for VAG is.
Good choice of car.
-
Hello and welcome.
It is a nice colour Octavia.
Good choice.
Goes to show that all the jokes that was made about the Skoda`s in their early days are not true.
As if that was a ford your mother would have been in big trouble.
You will have loads of fun on this forum.

There is a chassis dependant break in this part.
So if the one that ends in an a is not correct try the part number you have but without the a on.
The chassis break is x which if I remember correctly is about 2000.
It must have been left in the car as the previouse owner got it wrong.

The car is equiped with the ability to do VS from the factory.
It is the dealer who did the PDI who would have put it on fixed when the PDI was done.
