Looks brill! xD

I've heard June in the showrooms ready for Autumn deliveries! Not sure how much I trust it, read it on skoda's website I'm sure.

Where I live isn't known for big Skoda ownership, I've seen a couple of monte's and a fair few standard spec. Where my girlfriend lives in South Wales, I have always noticed seeing a LOT of fabias around - especially Monte Carlo's and vRS's. Not seen so many Mk3s as of yet.
I browse the skoda used car locator every couple of days and even the demos are with high asking prices. My mother traded her vRS in for an SE at a price of 12,990 and that was a TDI DSG. Only seen about 5 so far, I did see a silver SE L with black colour combo the other day which was quite nice.

The one reason I haven't yet updated to the Fabia 3 is because of its lack of sat nav. I hardly use mine day to day but when I do, it's absolutely brilliant and I'd hate to go back to awful tomtoms.
Hopefully I'll be able to get a Fabia 3 when the new Monte comes out in autumn, with DSG And Amundsen

You'd probably be better off going to a garage with decent pricing. You could easily cut the bumper yourself but I believe the exhaust on the TDI's at least are all pointed downwards at the tip, so you'd want the tip cutting off and a new straight pipe with twin tips welding on.
vRS bumper wouldn't fit a Monte due to the lower bodykit. Well, it would fit. But it'd look a bit naff.

Not sure why you can't stream via BT, mine works perfectly but I have seen other reports where some people don't get the track details displayed. Should just have to select BT Audio once it's paired. Have you tried un-pairing them? So maybe reset the pairing settings on your phone and also on the radio? I have an iPhone 6 btw so same operating system.
As for the maps, on the Amundsen the data is stored on its hard drive. I've heard somewhere that you can purchase an update CD/SD Card but also heard of it going wrong and becoming unusable. Personally I wouldn't worry about updates, mine has the latest and I've only had 1 instance where it has felt "lost".

Ive gone against the better advice of most of you and bought a tdi pick her up monday :clap:
When i say ill do low mileage its because ill only use it two days a week when most of you are daily drives ive got a van for that and to go anywhere from here its either up or down a dual carriageway not town driving as is associated with low mileage, Hope the dpf doesnt come and bite me in the but now lol
Is it a monte? Plenty of them around South Wales oddly enough! Might see you around my missus lives in Magor SW

TDi from me :peek:
Had a couple of DPF issues up to 10k miles but never since, its happy going round town for a week and then a short blast at the weekends. I do a 300 mile round trip once every fortnight and get about 48MPG with a heavy foot and 55-60 with a light foot. I preferred the grunt of the diesel compared to petrol
drove both side by side at a dealer.There was a month where I only ran it around town. Didn't have to fill it for 4 weeks :clap: Oh, and try and find a Tech! The satnav and goodies are great and will give the car great value come resale or p/x etc.

I've used the Peugeot colour code on mine as advised on here, it's an okay match, it's a little blue when dried but definitely makes it less obvious.

Cheers, I've got the TSI and quite fancy this on my grille (tsi lettering) I used your link to find one and have found this one, do you think it will do the job on a red Monte or look a little tacky?

Postage was from China. How about this? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251528762701
Surely worth a punt? I reckon it'll compliment the red aswell as the chrome/red compliments my black!

Do you have a link?

Liking the tdi badge on grill where did you get it and how does it fit on , thanks in advance
Fleabay for about £7, next day delivery free too. It screws on using nuts against a flat plate behind the grill.

As posted on the Facebook page. Proud of mine at the moment

The cruise control is fitted works great.
Faultless service from Sandicliffe Nottingham. While the car was there they did the normal dealer condition check inspection found a grumble from the front upper suspension bearings so just ordered the parts and replaced them under warranty.
I cant recommenced this dealer enough just a shame my local dealer to the same standard as Sandicliffe.
Might go to them if I want any dealer mods doing to my car. My car has just been for its second service at GL Derby, aswell as them not actioning some scratches they put on the car in the last service and re spraying the wheel they've added yet more scratches to the boot. After sales there is shocking.

I was reading up a while ago that it could be possible to buy the sensor and code it in to the car, if I were to say any more specifics I'd be making it up but maybe search around a little to see if it's possible.
-
Unfortunately my Monte Tech is the same. Genuinely thought it would at least have a yellow symbol in the dash or maybe a maxi-dot warning, but nope. Just ran out on the M6 in the middle of a winter night :(
On the plus side - I find it takes ages to empty!

Hi Sam
Thanks for the tips. Is there any particular version of the Roomster I should be looking for, MK1 or MK2?
Regards BB over in Branston
Both are fine - they're the same model, but there was a facelift in 2010 as there was with the Fabia too. Pre-facelift you're looking for trim level "2" or "3", post facelift you're best looking for either "SE" or more likely "Elegance".
Branston near Lincoln?
Branston the area on the A38 side of the river trent. Home to the B&Q you'll see my car at 95% of the time between 11 and 8 most days lol!

Best way for an armrest is to keep a lookout on the breaker pages on eBay, I search for fabia elegance (or fabia 2/3 pre-facelift) and also the roomster as they use the same parts.
Still not got one though. Every time I find one I don't have the money put aside any more!
Nice to see a briskodian who also lives in burton
-
Nice. Do those wheels have a silver lip on the edge? My black edition wheels are all just one colour. Were there options on the wheels or something?
They're gigaro wheels as mainly used on the vRS, however a few of the later montes have been coming with them. Some can be play black, some can have the white rim etc..

That's the second cat in a fabia I've seen today. Saw another on the Facebook page.
Feline friendly fabias.

Been a long time since I've last posted on this. But this weekend had the chance to get on a dyno. Results from a Superchips remap...
142.5hp
261.1ft lbs
That's definitely one of the higher gains I've seen for this engine in the Fabia I do know the yetis for instance can go higher. Unless your car wasn't standard?
How does it drive? And how much did you pay?
-
^ I really do think that looks great especially in race blue. Love the wheels too!!
-
Yes, however depending on the factory options on the car will depend how easy/expensive it'll be. If you look a few pages through on the Fabia II section there's another thread about this full of info.
Bye Bye Mk1 vRS, Hello Mk2 Monte Carlo.
