Bolero Radio MKIII VRS
watttsuk replied to Auric Goldfinger's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Did you get an answer on this? Mine has just started to do it over the past week -
Hi neily03, how long did it take to get your new bumper? My car has been in for repair two weeks now after the wing mirror damage (earlier thread). The body shop phoned today saying they were still waiting for a bumper to be delivered.

vRS TDI manual hatchback MPG
watttsuk replied to djkarlos's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Oh sorry should have read the title of the topic more. I have a tdi vrs estate. Not sure if this will help or hinder the mpg compared to a hatch. -
vRS TDI manual hatchback MPG
watttsuk replied to djkarlos's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have now covered 1500 miles since new and the trip computer says mpg since start is 49.6mpg. I do a daily commute to work of 13 miles each way of fast A roads and a couple of Motorway trips per week of 40 miles. I am very happy with mpg so far and look forward to it slowly creeping into the 50's -
Orville, do you have it connected to 12v all the time ? Where on windscreen do you mount it? I would like to mount it near the mirror but would not want 12v hanging around all the time.

It is a 60 mph road. Me and audi were doing about 45 as it was the day after the gales so we were not pushing it. The BMW i estimate was doing speed limit. So adding the speeds together the mirror glass was impacted at around 100mph. Got to agree with cyclist comment. I am glad I was not a motor cyclist. It would have cut through leathers.

I have attached a few photos of my insurance claim. I was the victim of a black BMW taking the Audi A3 wing mirror off while in was driving behind the Audi. My VRS was showered with the mirror glass. I need a new windscreen , mirror, headlight. I need a respray to repair the scrapes down to the metal over half of the car!

Hi, I have had my VRS for 5 days. Saw an amber warning triangle flash up on the instrument cluster. So I checked the vehicle status on the bolero. It showed the drives headlight in yellow. I could not find anything wrong. On my next trip 1 hour later I didn't get any warnings and the lights appear to be working. Is the car computer diagnostics good enough to record what happened to tell the dealer if I ask them to have a look, or should I wait to see if it happens again? Anyone else seen anything similar?

I have searched the forums but cannot find a previous thread... Can I put radio station logo's on a Bolero head unit? If so, do any of you kind people know how i do it. Many thanks.

Boot Net System and the Variable Boot Floor
watttsuk replied to TudorM's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yes I have same problem. I talked to dealer about it. You can remove the vari floor around the hook. I intend to use Velcro on hook then put vario floor mountings back over the top. I'll let you know if it works. -
Picked mine up today... WOW I love the 'cheap' dot matrix at night. It goes well with the dials colour scheme.

Just collected mine. As you can see from last image there were a few white VRS due to be collected. Prefer mine though. -
Just a few more hours to wait!
watttsuk replied to loadswine's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Boy, I feel for you robeadie. I thought my wait since October was painful. At least the wait is nearly over and a good choice of colour. -
