Anyone got any more news on the 2021 Octavia Scout for the UK?
-
I forgot to update - it was actually both bulbs blown at the same time! I can't see that being a coincidence - may one blowing triggered the other? Either way, both replaced - issue sorted.
-
Roper98 - I have exactly the same issue. Haven't looked as to why yet. Was it both bulbs, a fuse or something else? Ta.

I'd check you have room in the fuse box to actually fit the hard wiring loom - I bought a Nextbase one to match my Nextbase dashcam (as I have done for my other cars) but after an hour or so of trying various fuses / configurations failed miserably to be able to actually close the fusebox lid with it connected (and I wasn't prepared to modify / cut the lid to make it fit). The fusebox is tiny compared to the 3 other cars I've hardwired. In the end I've simply left it 'permanently' plugged into the 12v socket and returned the hard wire kit.

Rainsport 3s, as highlighted above. Great in the wet, fine in the dry and great value for money

What is the speed and load rating of the tyres please? Thanks. -
Some questions for Scout owners
zippy replied to KBPhoto's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I've owned pre-f/l diesel Scout (PD engine) for 4 years and have had a f/l petrol Scout for the last 2 years. I have to provide a caveat that I've not driven the CR engine, which we all know to be quieter than the PD. I decided on the petrol as I wanted to be secure in the knowledge that, if I kept it for 5 years or longer, I would not have the DPF or timing belt issues to worry about. It's definitely quicker (through the gears) and much, MUCH quieter / smoother too, though fuel economy is inevitably a good deal different at around 32 MPG average (though I only got 41 MPG in the PD diesel). If you do 15k miles a year AND plan to keep it for no longer than 4 years it's a no brainer - diesel. If you do less than 10k miles a year AND plan to keep it a long time it's a no brainer - petrol. Anywhere in between - as you are at 14k - I'd suggest you carry on your research and try to drive both and let that decide. To be honest, you can't go too wrong either way - petrol or diesel - if you find the right car for you in the right spec. I'm very, very happy with my choice of 1.8 TSI this time around though. -

Waiting for mine at the moment - did they come through the post or go direct to the dealer?

Just 3.5 weeks for delivery for me! Should definitely be here this year.

Amundsen sat-nav instead of Bolero
zippy replied to Tricky_Dicky's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Any more news on whether Amundsens are being installed as direct replacements for the Bolero still? My Scout was built week 40 and due for collection next week....! -
16" alloys for Octavia Scout winter tyres?
zippy replied to lamlash's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
+1 - I'm planning the purchase of steelies and trims for my new (replacement) scout too. Currently that looks like a mytyres order of fitted steel wheels plus the 'skoda shop' for the trims.
