My wife's iPhone 5 works, my 4s just started dopping calls one day. Both on iOS 8. I'm not sure I want a 6 now.

It arrived to the dealers. My precious. -

Thank you so much! Can't wait. I have the delivery week 40 now and I ordered it in moon white and petrol, but I bet there will not be a noticable difference on a photo. So, I have a new wallpaper now. -
Why is DSG so punishing on fuel.............?
Davey007 replied to Herschel's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I do not think so. Sorry I couldn't find a better source, but here are the other petrol engines: https://media.skoda-auto.com/en/Documents/Octavia_History/technical_data_new_octavia_petrol_en.pdf -

Has anyone looked at the gear ratios between manual and DSG? I think it makes a difference in efficiency. -

Finally an octy with exactly my ordered specs on the outside. PLEASE, PLEASE post a few more pics so I can drool until I get mine in a couple of months. These are the first photos from what I've seen up to now with a white RS without black pack and gemini anthracite. AWESOME! Pretty unique. Is it a petrol? -

Just a quick question as I'm from another part of the Europe entirely. Don't you have car insurance for this? It is extremely strange to me that you don't have a car insured for this. Even if you'd have to pay for a part of the damage yourself it'd just be some percentage of the whole cost. I'm really interested if anyone cares to explain.

Interesting change in vRS leadtimes
Davey007 replied to rogerwa's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Maybe they just have your exact configuration somewhere in stock? If this is not the case it would mean that everyone ordering your configuration before you, would get their car sooner? -
Fuel consumption 2nd tank refill vrs2l tsi
Davey007 replied to loveman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Guys, just to keep you in perspective. My 12 year old Corolla has 27 mpg. It's a 1,6 VVT petrol engine with 110 hp. Looking forward to achieving above 30 mpg with my octy. -
Okay, let me ask a possibly silly question, but I really have no idea. Do you have mandatory use of winter tyres there? How many years do your tyres usually last? And how many miles/kilometres? I'm thinking that if you stay within the legal speed limit there is no point in remapping the car. A 100 hp engine will get you there easily.

Please report on any reliability issues that might arise later on. I'm afraid the jump is quite heavy on other parts of the package. How does the jump in power feel? Isn't it a bit too much for the front tyres to handle?

Ah, Norway. Beautiful country. Been to Nordkapp in my 1997 Renault Twingo. Round trip in 18 days. Much too fast. Will return! Love the photo. -
With all due respect, f*** off! I thought I had my dream car specs and now you tell me I must have the sunroof? I already went over budget by a 1000 EUR. Damn you, damn you all. Just kidding, you're all good. I'm just jealous.

How to enable Traffic Sign recognition
Davey007 replied to ollybroad's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It just occured to me that the 100 might have been off of a truck decal that they have on the back. I'm not sure for UK trucks, but here busses and trucks have these 80/90/100 stickers that look just like speed limit signs. Considering the 'dumb' computer can't figure out where it came from without satnav. Would be a great option to have like this for free, but not without satnav. -

Davey007 replied to Torchythomas's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
In a Black pack you get black wing mirrors and black grill frame. On the estate you get also the black roof racks. But in my view if it was the other way around, and you'd get black wing mirrors as standard I'm sure most guys would pay to get them in car paint. Silly actually. Update: Sorry for misunderstanding if you were asking about the new Black Limited Edition. -

Davey007 replied to Torchythomas's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm happy to find that not even one photo is exactly as the RS I've ordered. So many race blues, almost all with black package, many estates. Three things not on my list. :clap: -
Hi everyone! As requested I'm saying hello as a proper n00b. I'm not even a Škoda owner yet, but can't really wait until my new Octavia RS arrives: Octavia RS TSI manual, moon white, red stitching, Extras: 18" gemini anthracite, intelligent light assistant, lane assistant, rs mode button, KESSY, MDI, heated front seats, simply clever & sun pack, front and rear parking sensors, bluetooth, driver alert, side airbags, crew protect, spare wheel. It's a different region here so many things don't come as standard in Slovenia. Best regards, Davey
