Lane assist
My Skoda is much better than my last car (a Peugeot 508) but both are (were) caught out at one particular spot where a single lane changed into two. Didn't pull everytime but when It did it was quiet violent.

Agree, Indicating is a lost art in Australia. On a good ,well marked road lane assist is fine. Unfortunately good,well marked roads are like hens teeth where I live.

VRS MK4 Road Noise
Recently had a tyre ruined by a screw. Took then oportunity to get rid of at least two of the awful Potenzas. No Michelin Pilots in Australia anyware at that time so went for some Pirelli Zero PZ4's. Car is much quieter now but even better the steering is much more accurate with much more feel. Can't wait for the other two to go but wait I will.Tyres are so expensive in Australia these days.

Wheel size.
Thanks for the replies.Not overly impressed with the space saver supplied.Was hoping to have a tyre with the same diameter (if it fits in the wheel well) Doesn't need to be quite as wide as my road tyres.

Wheel size.
Hi guys. Wondering if anyone knows what is the minimum size wheel that wil fit on a 2022 VRS and clear the calipers. Am thinking about trying to put a real spare tyre together.

Joy. I finally sat down with my OBDeleven and turned off lane assist. Life is good.

'22 RS - is wheel alignment two-wheel or four-wheel?
Hi. Rear thrust angle needs to be set first on the RS, then the front can be adjusted. My 19" wheels caused trouble (had to find an aligner who used three arm or four arm sensors-I forget which one)

Infotainment Problems Now Sorted?
I'm with Southern Comfort on this one. Had two glitches where the screen froze but was fine on restart. Skoda connectivity (SOS, etc ) seems pretty well non existent in Australia. Maybe that's the reason our systems are a bit more reliable. Just thinking.

Upgrading to latest VRS
Had my petrol RS (only sort we can get in Oz) for just on a year now .Observations electronics mostly stable (entertainment system freaked out twice. Was fine on restart) ride ,handling and comfort fine (though supplied Bridgestone tyres are pretty harsh and noisy) not impressed by fake engine noise (sorted out with OBD11) bought some alloy gear change paddle extensions (really made the car much more fun) really dumb controls for sunroof (touch control slider is not great) Overall I really like this car

What tires on vRS model in 2023/2023 on 19 inches?
Hi , My 2022 RS came with Bridgestone Potenza S005. Truly awful. Coarse, noisy and unrefined. Could accept it if they handled well, but they don't. Michelin PS4 or 5 for sure next time.

Paddles

Paddles
Hi Guys. Just wondering if anyone knows which aftermarket shift paddle extensions fit the Mk4? Coming from a 508 Peugeot which had fixed (to the steering column) paddle shifts I find all wheel mounted paddles hard to use. Extensions might help.

One click apps. I bought it direct rather than through the local Australian crooks. A fifth of the price!

Finally received my OBDeleven dongle today. After a moderate 3 hours of mucking around I got it going.Pretty typical of most things today. However it was totally worth it. Fake engine noise is gone. Bliss.
