Anyone else have issues with the fitting of the maxton rear diffuser to their VRS? Mine really didn’t want to stick. not sure the fit is perfect, but the flexible rear bumper on the vrs is probably more to blame…

They need to put a proper exhaust on the vRS and bin the stupid speaker!

My car was serviced today. Recall for engine cover is listed against it, but not available from stock at the moment 😞

Got one after getting my car, updated the lane assist, and enabled standard cruise control, and have not used it since. That was over a year ago.

Looks like there are some upgrades here… http://www.kopacek.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-IV/Rear/

Maybe it’s me, but my mk4 on 19s is more comfy than my mk3 on 18s.

I’d probably just wrap it. Looks like it’s small enough you could get one of those sellotape looking rolls of wrap.

I’ve had two MK3s, and a mk4. mk3s have been largely bulletproof. Other than both had the water pump and DSG selector issues. My mk4 is a much nicer car, but the software still needs work. Adaptive cruise control makes me angry on a regular basis. And the entertainment system reboots occasionally. From reading these forums, if people have sold their mk4, it’s because of issues, so you are pretty likely to get a lemon buying a second hand mk4 at the moment.

That’s mad! I had that on both my MK3s years ago. Can’t believe it’s not fixed yet.

I tend to just put larger drinks in the door pockets.

Have you rebooted your phone?

Yep. I usually use the last one in the list with the rev counter going across the top. Keeps reverting to the round dials, on startup.

Anyone else’s speedo not remembering which option it was in, all of a sudden? I think one of the recent OTA updates has broken it, as it has been rock solid since I got the car.

I’ve just read something that says Recent Skoda’s should be compatible with Apple CarKey, so I could use my phone to unlock and start the car. can’t find anything in the MyŠKODA app or website about it. Anyone got it setup?

I’m quite impressed that I can get 45mpg out of my TSI on a good run.
