Wow, old thread but still here.....its a new engine. In fact my vrs threw its timing chain and needed a new engine.

All sorts can be changed, esp if you dont have maxidot. Seat belt alarm, corner fogs, tear drop wipe etc..

Did you notice the digital speed on the maxidot?

Congrats on your new car!

I know this thread is quite old, I got my Octavia from them in 2009. Not very good coms, sold the car even though the alarm kept going off and I later found out the alloys had been refurbed before I took collection (warranty repair refused). I also had an issue with the steering wheel having indentations in the leather and told it was a natural product. Also the small dealer in Walton also closed, they were rubbish and never got back to me and I tried to by a car.

Yep all standard.

Hi all. Twice now in as many weeks, when pulling away it goes from 1st to D with NO drive, then jumps into 2nd and all is well. I have had the oil done at about 30k, the car has done about 45k. No other symptoms, I do have the extended warranty, the car is 9 years old. Is this the mechnatronic unit? Anyone experienced this and do you think it would be a warranty item? If not, cost??! Thanks for any info.

Fitted mine from new 2009 no issues.

How old is the battery? If its around 5 years might need replacing.

Nope! There is no wifi.

Again for me, duff battery. I changed mine to a bigger Bosch 096 for my petrol. I did this when it reached 5 years as thats when they mostly start going. i would have checked a new battery in anyway.

Suggest you get Coils done at the same time, often changing the plugs can then induce a fault with the coil(s) at a later date.
