What tyres for my vRS - due to change fronts soon.
booyaka replied to booyaka's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Top work gents - will let you know in due course but by the looks of things the Eagles F1's look best of the bunch. -
14k on my vRS Mk3 and happy with it so far. However will need to change front tyres soon and wondering what people are going with. Came with Continental sport contact 2 225/40/18 on anthracite geminis. I'm generally a motorway driver - not particually wild on the tyres. Can get the same tyres again for around £95 a corner. I guess I need to change all 4 if considering a change of tyre manufactuers etc? Any thoughts?

looks excellent - enjoy

i believe my dealer called it "winter pack", included mudflaps, rubber mats in the car and rubber boot liner. They gave me the carpet mats as spares as well. Was thrown in by the dealers.

same for me 3.5k and 3 months in - still love it. vRS diesel manual - 50mpg, that's with roof rails and cycle carriers on all the time. Lovely place to be, comfy seats, no issues, DAB radio is superb. -
Lane assist - do you like it?
booyaka replied to paulobrien's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
agreed - for now I like it. find it good. Novelty might wear off after a few k's mind you. -
So what made you buy one? Share your mk3 rationale:)

need to get rid of an 8 year old E60 beemer as it was heading for a large bill soon! Wanted to get something with plenty of space, still a bit of poke but economical as well. Had at look around but nothing floated by boat in April/May time and decided to wait it out till new vRS was out. Test drove it and that was all that was needed. -
works with my 4 year old blackberry fine - all photo's of contacts etc appear on the bolero screen.

Fitted to mine as part of the new car package with my dealer. Got mudflaps, rubber boot mat, rubber floor mats all included on my car. also got the carpet maps included for the summer time.

I flaps fitted on my vRS estate from new. It was part of the dealers "new car" package.

Are there too many options?
booyaka replied to Dempsek's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
cruise is a must - this should be standard and it's just stupid that it's an extra that needs ordered. -
no reason why not, but surely at £8 for a 16gb SD card that doesn't show once you insert it makes much more sense than having a portable USB hard drive plugged in. Bear in mind the USB is unlikley to power a portable USB hard drive so you may need to plug the hard drive into the 12V connection as well. Just get a SD card for simplicity! I dragged and dropped my music last night - 15gb onto SD card - all good this morning in the car including album art for most albums as well.

booyaka replied to vRSuper1's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I've had my candy white vrs since Friday - lovely car. Done 80 mile round trip today and car was superb. Loving it so far and still playing about with all the various radio/media/phone/car settings etc. Enjoy when you get it! -
any instructions on how to de-badge it?

New VRS DSG EST Sprint Yellow
booyaka replied to ian carville's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
that's a brave choice but I quite like it. Not sure long term I could cope with it mind you! Great car - enjoy! -
nice - like that green. Not sure if I could live with it long term but it's nice all the same! Enjoy!

I got my wk 41 build on friday. All good so far
-
Got mine on Friday (wk 41 build) - just mode button. Can't see me bothering to change it mind you. Normal mode seems fine.
-
Nice car - enjoy. Hated the experience with AC I had when checking out a few dealer to purchase from - awfully pushy, wanted me to commit to the figures before test driving the car, didn't like at all.

mudflaps were offered by the dealer as part of "their" pro pack (not a skoda thing, a dealer thing) - got mudflaps, rubber mats (as well as the proper skoda carpet maps) and rubber boot liner for £150. No idea how they were fitted or otherwise, just that they are fitted!

Mud flaps fitted fine by dealer as well
