Ok I don't feel as bad as I first thought! Lol! So that's 313 miles to a tank? I know you've done 50 on the dyno.

I've only filled it up twice but can't ever get more than £60 of diesel in?!

What engine do you have in yours Andy?

I was a bit disappointed with the smaller tank ok my Octavia 3! Approx £60 to fill up. Just means more stops at the garage! :-( My old Passat is about £95 to fill up and would do about 700 miles!

I'm a tad worried I'm giving it too many beans! I struggle to get 430 from a tank but that is a mixture of town/short journeys and a bit of motorway commute. 476 sounds good Robfab. Is that being gentle most of the time?

Hi fellow VRS Octy 3 VRS drivers. Just wondered how many miles you were all getting out of a full tank of diesel (approx £60). Mine is a DSG TDI estate.

I've tried it, thought it was good, however having it switched on and that annoying icon being present on the dash bugged me so I switched it off!

I've noticed the same on mine too!

Cheers for the reply all. No we looked at a polo, and that had cruise (our mistake!) Our's hasn't got the MDI lead in the glove box (either one), nor mats!!! The Amundsen we have does have the AUX input on the front like the one pictured above (we didn't notice it!!!). So far so good, the mrs loves it. It's the 1.2 petrol (105) and has much more grunt than i thought it had!!!

Thank you for your reply

Hi, We've just picked ours up (black tech MC). Can I ask, should it have the aux input? Do they come with mats as standArd? And also do they come with cruise control (ours hasn't)!! and the leads for the MDI? I'm sure when we looked at the one in the showroom it had cruise and aux as standard on the black tech MC?! Regards, Mozz

I've just got the VRS TDI DSG and would highly recommend it! I too am a fellow M25 cruiser/Parker and so far it's been great! Certainly takes a little bit of getting used to! Sometimes when you first engage a gear it takes that split second for it to do anything, however you soon get used to it. On a positive note the paddle shift it fantastic, the gear change is so quick and you can drive it pretty enthusiastically, but can also cruise along nice and smooth! If your in the Northamptonshire area you're welcome to take mine out for a drive. Cheers, Mozz

Very very nice!!!!!

Can you put up a pic or two please? I too didn't order sunset glass, so want to get mine done like you, as well as remove the Skoda and Octavia badge on the tailgate!

Very nice colour!!!

I too have the same in DSG (without some of the toys you've got :-( ) love it btw!! I was hitting 54mpg on the motorway sitting at 70 with cruise on. It seems pretty good on fuel so far, especially for an auto. We have a Freelander 2 TD4 auto and that is horrendous on fuel (low 20's around town)!

Thanks! I think the lights look fantastic at night too! Went to Tesco last night and on locking/unlocking a few people were looking at it in the car park! ???? This is my own car now (have had company cars for years) so naturally I am taking it very easy and not over revving etc...!

Thank you for noticing PekoSI!! ????

I have no idea at all about these!! Anyone else know? Is it a setting somewhere?

The one they had in the showroom when we were looking had esp!

Do you have a pic of the black one installed? Think I'm going to go for one of them too! Look really good!

To be honest, it didn't feel at all like I was pushing it in any way shape or form, especially on a motorway journey. I've done the same with the last 3 cars I've had (all VAG) and never had a problem. Surprisingly the dealers didn't mention anything about running it in at all, unless it just goes without saying!?

Eeeeek! I have been trying to be extra careful with her! Point taken though! Thanks :-)

PS - Wish I had gone for the sunset glass and the black pack,but ho hum! I only realized about these after seeing others on here!!!
