Should be ok, most of the duff ones were from a few years back.

We have both a rapid and an octy 3. Very happy with both but the octavia is a considerably more premium feeling, more comfortable machine. That said, I prefer the rapid for short about-town jaunts.

Half Model Year Build Week
multiskoda replied to andyvee's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Sorry - my mistake - I meant bw 22: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/309296-2015-model/?fromsearch=1 Turns out 33 is when my car was built! Stupid brain... -

Winter Tyres- prime solution for vRS
multiskoda replied to gt40's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I love this :-) -
Try forge? It's a long shot though. They did adjustable camber thingies for my old bora. Nice kit.

6+ car lengths braking distance improvement over equivalent summer tyres when used under 7 degrees C is a fairly good reason to use them... Not all about snow. -
Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!
multiskoda replied to Torchythomas's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Should be if it's based on the SE and build after week 33. All SEs after wk 33 have an arm rest. -
Bolero radio help (A7 version)
multiskoda replied to Birdbrainuk's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
+1 to this. Just tried downloading and applying the logos from the first link and it works fine on mine. Go into the radio settings, station logos, then apply to your presets. It *is* a bit irritating you can't just magically apply to everything. -
Wheel Sizes (quite technical)
multiskoda replied to skod_up_north's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Thanks. I know I can play with offsets and widths a bit and still be safe. I guess I'm trying to find a solution that is insurance friendly. https://www.abi.org.uk/~/media/Files/Documents/Publications/Public/Migrated/Motor/ABI%20guide%20to%20winter%20tyres%20The%20motor%20insurance%20commitment.ashx Key thing there is that the wheels and tyres can't deviate from the manufacturers standard specification, though it's not clear (for instance) if I can use a 16" wheel that is the same offset and width and tyre size as a manufacturer approved 17" wheel. For instance, golf mk6 alloys should fit fine (7jx16", et 45), but that's not in the list. -

Crikey - so there are. I saw the first page of results and it married up exactly with information I found elsewhere. There are some odd exceptions to offset and speed ratings on the other pages so I'll do a bit more digging. Overall I think what this tells me is that finding aftermarket alloys for the o3 is bloody hard. Offsets and wheel sizes are pretty uncommon from what I can tell. -

Exactly the info I've been looking for, except the links no longer work :( Anyone know where the latest version can be found? -
