  1. Cable mentioned here works fine with Nextbase 332GW dash cam and ignition switches it off. not sue if parking mode would work??
  2. Hi, Does anybody know if Mk 3 roof bars fit on the new Mk4 hatchback?
  3. I am also suffering this problem, had a poke in the jets and helped slightly b stopping again. Now worried and will check all of the above ;<(
  4. It was replaced and 1 1/2 year later as bad as ever and even worse as leather now gooey and got told no replacement warranty so stuck wit it!!
  5. Absolute piffle, you have got to learn how to drive and use the fuel and environment saving facility. It's not rocket science for goodness sake!!! ;<)
  6. I have the 1.2 DSG and you have to learn how to work with Start /stop. i had some issues originally 2 1/2 years ago! But now love and S/S and the smoothness of the car and getting up to speed etc. Try the "launch" mode i.e. in cruise control temp switch off, then after slowing down rengage and it will drive upto preset speed rapidly!! ;<)
  7. Agree here, have had these Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres across 3 cars and always been great wet grip and quiet ;<)
  8. Hi Mine was also replaced FOC as it was on my Rapid DSG
  9. Tyres changed and front alignment done at ATS/Blackcircles.
  10. Hi Gerry,Excuse my ignorance, is the Octavia "Torsion bar rear" as wheel wear at rear appears even, does this mean simple front 2 wheel alignment?
  11. Advice request, My car i discovered (at dealer service ) has bad inside tyre wear/scrub (see photo) and dealer says needs alignment done, price quoted is £60 +VAT. Do Skoda dealers normally do 2 or 4 wheel alignment? Does a front wheel drive need 4 wheels done? (2 is cheaper obviously) i.e. back tyres are showing even wear?
  12. Sounds like a great idea to add tax to petrol, those that use road and or drive like top gear fastest lap should pay
  13. Hi, Great video of the Octavia manufacturing process from raw metal to finished car,
  14. I asked service manager and he said it was something to do with lights not returning to correct position. only affects some cars?? mines is 2015 July, 1.2 DSG halogen i believe. ;<)
  15. Hi, Car going in tomorrow for headlight software update?? Any idea what this is about?
  16. All done after short 30 minute visit to dealers. Knob feels great
  17. EASY!!! 1.2 TSI Had mine 2 years and no issues. ave MPG is high 40's with mixed driving. PS: suggest DSG as its perfectly matched
  18. Mines going in next week to get DSG gearknob assembly replaced under warranty
  19. The chrome on my DSG shifter is flaking off and very sharp. This happened on my Rapid also and was changed under warranty. Hoping i can also get this done on Octi??
  20. I helped it dramatically by adjusting the boot stops up so that the boot just shuts under tension ;<)
