41 and 42 pick my second one up in a couple of weeks

had 2 vrs octy diesels and then went to 140 adventure love the car serious fun on back roads can upset all sorts of cars just the brakes let it down a little when pushed hard and the seats are crap on lower models but am considering going back to an octy in the shape of a 184 dsg scout

A go few years ago a german tuning company shoe horned a V8 into an A3 so out will fit it just depends on how deep your pockets are

machine mart is a good place to go this will do your job with ease Product Code: 020110772 good stable jack

thank chaps for your input am hunting for some elegance seats now but they seem to be like the proverbial rocking horse ****. nearly chopped her in for another octy VRS that my local dealer has but could not get the numbers to stack up

thanks for checking

Cheers DarrellGB

DarrellGB do you know what colour they are, if black could you message me some contact info

useful info that muddyboots the tiguan looks almost identical perhaps r-line spec could be nice, best fit would be some elegance spec seats but have been unable to find any at a sensible price if I had been able to drive an adventure spec yeti before purchase then wouldn't have bought one but never gave it a thought that there was no lumbar adjustment just assumed it was there when spending 21 grand on a car lol

Hi all am looking to replace the front seats in my adventure as am fed up with the lack of lumbar support was thinking of getting some S-Line seats from an Audi but what model would fit its either a case of swop out the front seats and store the originals till sale time or change the car which I don't really want to do as I love the car

don't know about other dealers, but my local one collects the car from the wife's work and delivers it back washed and hovered out they do this for everything don't matter if I'm paying or not

all being well the misses and I will be there as long as I haven't traded in her adventure before then lol

Granted NFU aren't the cheapest around but l personally don't mind they were only about £150 dearer than other reputable providers and the have a local office to me so you can deal face to face, the cheapest quote isn't always the best. Chan110 google your nearest office and give em a call

When I got my winters for the octy spoke to NFU and they said no problem now we know you can swap back and fourth without contacting them again

Lilly as the wife calls her is a top motor have never driven a car that can be thrashed down a B road, munched miles ont motorway and as I have found out over the last couple of weekends is very competent off road on her winter boots. It amazes me how well it performs coming from an octy VRS,only thing that lets her down for us is the lack of any lumbar support in the seats toyed with swapping it for a FL but would lose too much money.

seen a white city spec at simpsons in preston today looks good in the metal

did mine Monday night deffo a pain but well worth it with the night breakers liked them that much got some for my van today

Will be ordering mine shortly have got a mega spec sorted just need to make our minds up on colour

put mine on tonite was gonna get em refurbed but after giving them a really good clean decided they weren't too bad also fitted some night breakers aswell

according to my service manager the later ecu's have a memory that if you remap it and skoda plug there computer in it can now detect that it has been tampered with and automatically notifies vag group which will void your warrenty

love the car hate the seats so going FL on 0%, lump more car same payments

Just see if you can find an adventure mine will be for sale soon

According to my dealer there is a terracotta orange available to sounds like a cool colour with black roof and mattahorn wheels

we have had 2 octy vrs which was giving me back troubles plus twisting the knee when I was getting in and out so I hoped the move to the yeti would help. it does make it easier to get in and out though which solved one of the issues

Evening all am seriously considering either chopping in lilly unless I can find an alternative for the seating have looked at adding the lumbar kit but you are talkin in excess of £1000 pounds have tried a couple of aftermarket supports but they are too bulky one possibility is a custom made pad which I am currently researching. Another thought is a different pair of front seats from the vw family and keep mine in storage till I swop car again. Did think about ditchin the skoda brand altogether but that don't sit right with me after 6 years of trouble free motoring. Some people will say why didn't we test drive the car first, we did its only when you live with it that these things show up your thoughts please
