Same here:rofl:. Scanned it with a snap-on reader and no fault codes, did a parts test aswell which was intereting to see.
I did discover my cat cover hanging off though so going to get it on a ramp weds and rip it off. Anyone done this and had problems ? It doesnt seem to sit very low and I haven't done any lowering. Also discovered a slight rattle near the mid section that I'l have to check out.

Had booked the car into local Skoda dealer - where I've had a few things & MOTs done - to have both front wheel bearings + outer cv boot replace (£188 quoted), but just had phone call to say that I would have to pay for all new bolts on hubs and also if they damaged the hubs "due to corrosion" then I would have to pay for new ones - get this.........at £178 each !!!!!!!!!
Told the guy I would pay for new bolts but if they damaged my hubs then they have to pay....he said NO
So I told him to return car to my drive :(
Not a happy bunny :( :(

I ripped mine out within a week of getting the car, no problems:)it was hanging off too.
 
Replaced the rubber 'o' ring on the 'pancake hose' for it to whistle even louder at me (new seal AND CLIP) ordered this time.
So i might post the same again tomorrow lol

Lowered the rear end, just enough to tuck the tyres in the arches,(just springs) she sits better now:)
The front is on my 'to do' list...
 
done the piaa horns and popped on a jr filter hidden under top half of my air box, all in all the car sounds lovvvvely !!

.......jesus christ mate:(.haha where has all the crap come of (oh if the bolts need to be replaced if they are damaged due to corrosion):wtf: i have worked on cars 20yrs old and the bolts are bulit proof shouldnt they be...:confused:
the cost of the outer cv boot is a cheap one to do,but a pain in the arse to do itsabit tircky to others ive done before.as for the wheel bearing can they not be pressed out yourself using a threaded bolts and nuts and peice of strong steel(wind back tool) i might be wrong suggesting the bearing is all in one?....thats is you have the time though,saying that weather is sh5te

I've only been in the trade 5 years, but NEVER had an issue with front hubs when doing wheel bearings, I can get the bolts though, I put a set of coilovers on the bora and the thread looked half cattle trucked, they are not any more than £6 for the pair though.
Ouch :s
 
Always nice for a quick catch-up and overview of what mods are popular at present!

I for instance have just done the Fuse 38 bypass for my driver's door de-lock :) going to get out in the garage and start spraying the blank cap now.
