should i cancel my order?
Skodavrs21112 replied to oasisphonic's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
My friend I think what you are experiencing is called cognitive dissonance ! The thought process we all go through when making a big purchase. I went through it too when I ordered mine and very nearly cancelled and went for a 3 series. I'm so glad I didn't now as the vRS rocks, 3 series BMs are ten a penny. I found the vRS was the only one to have the whole package in terms of what I was looking for, but your needs may be different from mine! All I can say is I read a lot on this forum whilst waiting for my order and nearly cancelled but glad I didn't. I thought about the dpf factor, the road noise, plastic cabin but in my opinion the last two are fine as it's well put together. Dpf has been fine on mine. But like i said only you can make the decision! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
As above I'm looking for a new clay bar used the autoglym one and was impressed with it but find it difficult to grip ...probably a silly question but is there a holder that you can get for them? Also if anyone can advise on how best to treat stone chips on the bonnet! Only a few but they bug me! TIA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi we have a maxi cosi familyfix base ( http://www.maxi-cosi.com/products/car-seats/base-units/familyfix.aspx )and that fits perfectly fine in a 2014 vRS estate, I'm guessing it will the same in the hatch. The leg part of it is fine as it's adjustable so you can alter the height to suit the seat height. The isofix points are only in the two outside seats in the back. Hope that helps, if you want pics let me know and I'll post when I get home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2014 2.0tdi VRs. My long term average since I've had the car shows at 41.9mpg and that does involve some spritely driving on the M1 and around Milton Keynes. I've so far clocked up 5000 miles on it. 80% of which is motorway, if I was to drive more conservatively I'm sure I could touch 50mpg but what's the point in having a VRs if your going to drive like that! But as others have said I think there comes a point where the engine settles down and mpg goes up .... I'm still waiting! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
order time for Octavia VRS
Skodavrs21112 replied to awhitham's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Ordered 14th June and picked up 26th Sept; 2.0tdi with Black Pack, Canton, Sunset Glass, Amundsen Nav, Spare Wheel used Carfile.net but don't think that affects order times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
You probably have already done this but I'll suggest anyway.... Have you pressed the little car icon on the right of the sat nav touch screen when the map is showing... It shows a little car with arrows around it.... I.e. Pinpoint your location. Mine does it sometimes and ends up at the Emblen Docks! Pressing that icon brings it back to your location.

Must haves...Spare wheel, Canton (if you like your music!), Electric Folding Mirrors (I couldn't spec as a standalone when I ordered mine had to get electric seats as well but you can now) I went for Amundsen which I think is very good in comparison to other integrated sat navs. Black pack - personal preference but a must have in my opinion. Wheels defiantly personal choice and I regret not speccing the 19s! Sunset glass is ok but not a proper tint as some might think. I've just got a Leon FR with the colour maxi dot and now I wish I had ordered it in my vRS but only because I've seen it in the Leon! But for £80 it's worth it. Hope that helps!

How long from Grimsby to delivery ?
Skodavrs21112 replied to Spikeyspud's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Mine was ready for collection within a week if it driving at the docks but I guess it depends on transporters etc and how long the dealership will take to do a PDI... Believe me it'll be worth the wait! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

You probably have already checked but one of your doors or boot isn't open is it ? I remember having an old Mazda 6 and lay there one night hearing it beeping trying to work out what it was and the boot was open... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
