Toms Red 06 Octavia vRS
Well thought I may as well ge a thread up. I bought this car on 20th March 2008 with 19k on the clock, in red with 17s, and standard other than the jumbo pack (electric rear windows, jumbo box and dual zone climate control). Before I even collected the car, Stu (from http://www.octavia-vrs.com"...

Re: roof rails polishing, now finnished with pics
No they are WAY more than £250, well over £500 IIRC, although the caps are about a tenner each.
I doubt they will match mind, as the VW bars are chrome, and these are more of a brushed steel, quite different finishes really.

[quote="kaliboyI've got standard wheels and brakes you can swap over if you like? [/quote]
Tell me more, I really need 15" Wellingtons, and nearly new brakes... I may well take you up on the offer if so.

Re: Why hasn't my car sold :(
May try ebay.
Got a punter coming for a look today, if he doesn't buy it then it will be going on the 'bay and Autotrader too.
Bought me a Mk2 vRS, 2.0TFSI in red. Can't wait to pick her up next Saturday!

Nope, absolutely no increased risk of spills as when the cap screws on the system is sealed. The system remains balanced by venting into the filler neck in the case of expansion, but this cannot go past the filler cap as its sealed. The only way you can spill diesel is through the overflow tube when...

I'd say the first thing to do is to remove the battery and clear the plenum drains. Check the pollen filter housing seal and do the fix on this if needed. I'd take the seats and carpet out personally, and get the carpet bone dry before considering putting it back in the car. Leave the CCM on a radia...

I like the look of the Estate, but the Saloon definitely looks nicer imho. I think the Saloon is slightly nicer to drive too, and less creaky inside on grounds that there is a nice bit of bracing missing from the Estate that the Saloon is blessed with.
