1st trip = n/s track rod replaced 2nd trip = o/s trackrod replaced 3rd trip = full steering rack replaced All in 2 weeks of each other !! All done under Skoda extended warranty and given a car to use.

This is a feature. All new VAG cars have this now.

Ordered vRS 2.0T (petrol), candy white, maxidot & spare wheel on 12 May 2010 dealer states build week 30 (we will see) :S

Oh well, manual folding it is then, just a shame Skoda don't offer it as an option, i'm sure alot of people would choose them.

Just placed my order for a new Octy FL vRS.......16 weeks to go....... :( Can anyone confirm if you press the key remote to lock the car, and hold button down, will the external mirrors fold ? or is this an option that dealer can set with VAS ? I have seen a vrs brochure with this in it http://issuu.com/publishgold/docs/newoctaviars_catalogue_eng Page 2,Nunber 5, (left hand page).

Thanks all..... saves me having a battle/argument (sorry, discussion) with the dealers, only then to look the stupid one...

I was thinking of ordering a new Octy II FL vRS from Drive the deal, looked at the optional extras offered, no sunset rear glass, only on the estate version...... then i come across a used hatchback on Skodas official website with sunset glass. http://www.skoda.net.r66.co.uk/carview.aspx?id=600944982# I am a litle confused, is it available or not as an option on the hatch. Anyone have this on their hatch vRS?

WOW Ben that was quick !! So, how difficult? Whats needed.... Wheel, air bag, controller,?

Thanks all, think i might have to get in touch with Ben. :yes:

Has anyone fitted a Golf VI multifunction steering wheel to a Octy II vRS ? Been looking for some info on Google and here but come up with nothing. If so, what's involved? What extra controllers/commectors/wire looms etc are needed?

Bought my first Octy 1.8T vRS Mk1 when i was 34, now on my 2nd Octy, a vRS II TFSI and creaping up to 40:eek: in February.

Ah, looks like this is for the previous model 1.8 20v vRS. Shame 'cos it looked nice and simple.

Not sure what the DIS is. Would like to clean out the throtle body but i think i need to have VAG-COM to reset it (which i don't have).:( Did the cage mod, no difference unfortunatly.:(

Any chance you can measure the diameter and thickness of the steering wheel please? I might buy of one of the new steering wheels to fit my oct 2 vRS as i think the 1 i have is a little too big and thin, i like a chunkier wheel, a bit like the golf V GIT. Thanks.

Yep, got alot of them speed bumps by me, so could well be the problem.
