  1. Hello there the aux heater system is an optional extra in Norway and its quite expensive. its basicaly an extra little diesel engine next to the main engine. its probally 40X20X40 cm big. it works in three different ways and price classes if you get it original and installed with a new car. the cheapest option is conected with the maxi dot , called auxilary heater and you can set up to three diferent pre set times (of course you can change the times) you can also set the time for how long you want it to stay on for, (up to 1 hour) it then starts up the little engine, using diesel from the main tank , heating the coolant fluids. it also starts the cars own interiour fan system that blows hot air inside the car for the time you set the timer for. which means when you start the car its allready hot inside and the motor is kind of varm as well. NICE!! the second system is the same as above but you get an additional remote control so you can start the aux heating from inside your house up to an hour before you plan to use your car. they say the remote works from as far as 600 meters away from the car. the most expensive system is you get the same as the two above pluss its conected through a sim card in the car. that means you can call or send a msg from your mobile phone and start the aux heating or set up the timer. i have the first one and its a life saver. no more scraping of ice from the windscreen. actually all the windows are ice free and almost dry after one hour the only drawback is the price aprox 880 pounds!! so i doubt it comes as standard in any car to be honest the electrical heater you are mention ive never heard about heres a link if you want to read about it webasto uk by the way its -25 celsius here at the moment, so its a must have
  2. very good norwegian :-) after the test came out there was a lot of ****ed off audi owners, A4 quatro came inn as number 4. octavia 1.6 tdi cr 4X4 as number one the car was ordered the 03.08.10 and was delivered 30.09.10. so around 8 weeks. i ordered almost all extras columbus parking sensors front and back darkened windows heated seats bluetooth premium mdi alarm sound system with 12 speakers winter tires cornering lights heated side mirrors heated window washer nozzels folding mirrors multi functional steering wheel strenghten protection under the engine etc pluss what i wrote previous. after reading all the posts in this forum i got very nervous about the delyed delivery times. but it was delivered only one week later than what they said when i ordered it. maybe it has to do with the uk all the long delivery times or the fact that almost all of the complaining people have ordered RS cars. i did not try the 4X4 either before i ordered it but after i got it i compared it with the 2wd. not so big difference driving and torque wise, but when the 4X4 kicks inn, Love it you might check out the scout as well
  3. hello there got my 1.6 cr 4X4 delivered 1 month ago after 7 weeks waiting time. as a previous fabia 1.2 owner it was a delight to have almost doubled the horse power :-) as i am living in the mountains of norway with 5 months of constant snow covered roads it makes sense to drive a 4X4. so far im really happy with the handlig on snow especially when you accelererate during a curve. 2wd would have gone straight of the road. the 4X4 haldex system works when normal driving it uses 90% front weel drive and 10% on the rear tires. cant feel any difference from a 2wd. but when you push the pedal and its a little bit slippery it transfers the power 50% on both axels. havent been towing anything yet but the diesel engine has a lot of power. because of the heavy car tax system in norway i went for this engine size. if i would have gone for the 2.0 liter 4X4 it would have costed 5400 pounds more, belive it or not!!!!! i bought a special winter promotion pack from skoda norway that incl xenons, towbar, elegance, pluss pack, parking heater with timer, light assistant etc. as i think the car tax system in the UK is far less than here i would defenetly recomend that you go for the 2.0 liter. more power to the people. as we are using Liters per 100/KM here i have an average of 6 Liters per 100/KM dont know how much that is in MPG. i think this car option is very popular in norway. especially after a test the norwegian AAA tested it to be number one . My link its in norwegian put copy it in to google translate and you get an idea, any more questions? just ask
