Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Thanks for the information. When I checked them they only had 30 psi.

      The most noticable noise I get from mine is if I have the moonroof shade back or the luggage compartment cover not closed. That fills the cabin with more of the outside noise then Iv noticed from the tyres.

        How are peoples tyre wear going with either the 19" Pirelli's or 18" Dunlops (?)?

        I'm a relative newb to the Octavia section of the forums but a respected friend in suspension repair business warned me about Octavias chopping rear tyres prematurely because the alignment would be out from the factory. Has anyone else heard of this issue in relation to either Mk2 or 3 Octavias?
        I wasn't able confirm with him whether it was only in relation to solid or independent rear ends, heavily laden or unladen cars.

          I saw it mentioned here and there with the facelift Mk2s but never saw it on my pre FL Mk2. DIdn't hear about it again after a while so think it was a batch issue.

            Utter nonsense

            My MK2 Octavia has 86k on the clock with no rear tyre wear issues
            I changed the rear tyres to my preferred tyre choice at 14k - so I've now done 72k on 18" Michelin PS3's
            My rear PS3's are about 50% worn through and have a lovey even wear pattern

            A friend with a MK2 Octavia and 19" wheels put 180k on the car with no abnormal tyre wear

              Thanks for your reply Martin, that puts my mind at ease.
