Hi all I am enjoying my new Kodiaq very much and wanted to personalise some of its features, I just couldn't justify the cost of a new VCDS lead so opted for the much cheaper Carista.
What I liked;
the android interface was nice and simple the app was fast the options were easy to initiate/reverse the price what i didn't like;
the "mods" promised did not work the subscription of £33.99 to get one month free of their pro option it is easy to cancel though the fact that their website promises more than it delivers. the vast majority of their advertised "mods" were already activated as standard. no option to do a backup of the original settings. Now, I have a MY 19 and wanted to do the following;
active horn signal for arm/disarm - did not work  have scandanavian DRL - this worked increase comfort turn signals from 3 to 5 - did not work.  
Because i wanted so little doing I though that Carista would be the cheapest option, now I know that I'll probably be berated for using  a non VCDS  product but the £200 price tag is just too much for use probably once or twice a year.
However there is so little information about what Carista actually does I hope that this maybe of use to anyone thinking about buying one of these. It is OK but it is probably a better option to use a fellow Briskodaian to do the mods for you.

Turning into a bit of a tradition now. I'm hoping to organise a rolling road day on the 3rd November at JKM, Portsmouth.
 
The usual format is 3 back to back runs with a print out at the end.
The rollers at JKM are 2WD only, I expect the majority of cars attending will be FWD but for those with RWD cars, put your name on the list anyway and if we get enough people (usually 3+ will do) then JKM can turn the rollers round at the end of the day for us  
 
Its always a good day out and would be good to see you all there again, as well as some new faces!

CitiGo-Go - Reincarnated by Darkside - First TDi Citigo?
Some of you may already know and hopefully most people wont, this project was purchased by Darkside From Clive ( missingmyvrs - Briskoda Forum) the week before Christmas 2017. He purchased the car from Richard (BossFox - Briskoda Forum), here is the previous thread -
https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/243854-citigo-go-a-citigo-with-more-go/.

We were alerted to the availability of the car by a random Facebook message and within a couple of days the trip ‘darn sarth’ was scheduled, the next few months would not be easy...
 


After a good chinwag with Clive (more like an interrogation regarding the proposed spec, which remained secret until the car was presented in person!) The car was loaded onto our trusty T5 Transporter ready for the 220 mile journey back to HQ in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
 
The legend continues, read on to discover more.

Skoda Superb III 4x4 280 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps
After using the car in standard form for a few months, I decided that I needed more power and better handling to go with the comfort, extras and space offered by this model.
 
I have been modifying my cars for the last 20 years, having purchased a variety of British, German and Japanese vehicles including some JDM special editions.
 
The modifications ranged from simple remaps to adding turbochargers or swapping engines from different models.
 
The Superb is our family car and, thus, I was looking at modifications that would not affect the way the car behaved, so hard or overly low suspension, extreme visual changes, loud exhausts or anything that would seriously compromise reliability was not an option.

5000 Mile Review
We bought a Yeti in October 2013 following the birth of our son. Three and a half years on & we now had two children, along with an array of grandparents who we occasionally have to cart around & so a 7-seater made sense.

We seriously considered a Discovery, an entirely forgettable Kia (we hired one to do Highway 1 in the US, the thing reinforcing every single preconception I had about Korean vehicles. I suppose it was reliable – the united Departure lounge at LAX is less dull) and a VW T6 Caravelle.

The T6 ticked every box, apart from its stupendous price ticket – like £55k to get one with parking sensors and modern headlights!

The Kodiaq won out and we spec’d one up as follows... read more

Who or what is the biggest threat to SKODA?
Imagine if you just wrote your car off, or your lease is coming to an end. You've been a happy; or not, Skoda owner for months or years, maybe even a decade or more.

 

Which marque/model brochure are you reaching for? 

 

I'm interested to see what peoples instinct is or what they see as a option to SKODA. 

 

So what do you see as the biggest threat, or the most likely to get you behind the wheel of a different marque?
