Mates, recent job related changes the car has been staying home than being used , that said i have been able to use the RS off and on, the car is well into the 9th year of age, i say this will all the sincerity i can muster, she still manages to bring the kid in me. Totally love it.

Upkeep

1. General Service coming up. Towards Jan. I am not going to be using the car until then.

2. Will be going for performance dampers once i am back.

3. Need to get an annoying squeak attend to, which is coming on bad roads especially at low speeds and turning.

Thanks for reading.

Best

Team - I have sold my precious VRS. Its not been an easy decision but had to let go, given the recent inactivity due to changes in my job and trouble finding parking for the car, i am glad i was able to find someone who will cherish car going forward.

I will miss the car always.

It is indeed sad Sameer, to what you say.

Move is more driven from maintaining a car not being used than anything else, pretty solid car - never let me down.

Thanks

Shocking news ML, having been passive on tbhp due to busy life schedule, I occasionally log into your thread as i have bookmarked it. Pretty sad to see this move but i understand it is a logical decision. what did you replace it with ? Mind telling me the price it fetched ? you may choose to pm

ML, based on the joy this car gives, I also picked one up .

Fellow members,
I have a Make III -2017 Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI. I have remapped the car using superchips bluefin. The performance is fantastic.
Only issue i am facing is that while I am decelerating ( just easing of the gas pedal without applying brakes) i hear a squeaking noise from under the car.
If I map the car to stock this noise disappears.
I have tried this with a high flow filter also.

Any help would be welcome.

In My 2018 Octy pre face-lift model 1.8 TSI i had installed a retrofit Rear view camera. The issue is the camera messes with the Air con recirculation motor and the flaps get disturbed. As soon as u put the reverse gear the camera shows on the screen and you will hear a small click of the recirculating motor flaps misaligned.
Then from now on the air will not come out of the vents but will recirculate inside the dasboard only.
U will either have to chanhe the motor or get the flaps realligned. Both inclde opening up the dashboard

I have hence removed thr retro fit camera
Is there a safer way t install rearview camera

After spending countless hours searching used car portals for a specific gem which was brought into India in the early 2000's by Skoda led to me to actually dig deeper.. how many Skoda Octavia vRS Mk1's are actually on the road today?

Recently a automobile vloggers on YouTube have also been bringing up this car's history and also the current market trend towards finding a really good one.

Also, were these cars CBU or CKD units when introduced into the Indian Tuning Scene.

Will post about mine as well, (Wishing to click some really nice pictures before she's shown here to everyone!)

I was just watching a review of 2006 model Skoda Octavia VRS MK1 in YouTube and now wondering how this car managed to hit those insane figures -7.9S to 100KMPH and 230KMPH top speed with a 150ps turbo charged motor, 5 speed MT and 1800KG kerb weight. Astonishing performance and timeless design inside out.

Bit of a hard find i'd say to locate a good one for sale these days.
For that matter, hard to find any of the elusive Laura vRS's as well in the pre-owned market.
