Yup you just move the gearstick to the left for manual mode and to the right for auto. You can do it on the move

The post below had similar issues might be good to contact Vrsed. I also had a porblem with stiff steering (see my post #4) http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/383067-octavia-mk3-estate-vrs-stiff-steering/#entry4482146

+1 for me and sometimes the oil temp

Not sure if makes a difference (as the key is still in the same position) but the engine does not need to be running. Have you tried with the ignition on but without the engine running?

I had a similar issue with stiff steering, it transpires that the sound insulation in the driver footwell got caught up in the universal joint of the steering column; might want to have look in that area just in case. Had it all replaced under warranty but was a big job as the dash and seats had to come out as the steering column passes through the mat.

Even though I am set to LH traffic I am pretty sure my set-up is OK, I do not get the above warning. The beam pattern is biased towards the LH side, the cornering function is active and I never get flashed by on-coming traffic. Not sure why our cars are set-up differently.

I am not sure if the issue is related to the MY of the vehicle. I set my lights to LH traffic for the correct beam pattern for UK roads; my O3 is a 63 plate.

The new A4 looks good, a notch up from the Octavia. It is receiving some good press.

Blacksheep kindly changed the following for me and all worked OK: Controller 09 - Central Electronics 16 - Security Access - enter 31347 10 – Adaptations (4)-Comfort illumination-Coming Home Leuchten - change to Foglight (Nebellicht) To turn off the dipped beams for CH/LH: Change the following channels: (8)-Leuchte6ABL LC5-Lichtfunktion C 6 from Coming Home oder Leaving Home aktiv to not active (8)-Leuchte7ABL RB1-Lichtfunktion C 7 from Coming Home oder Leaving Home aktiv to not active Really glad I did it to preserve the life of the xenon builbs

+1 on electric seats, it also provides auto dipping of the passenger door mirror to help with those kerbs

With my car, the 'boom' comes and goes (I can't find a trend yet); as a result the 1.4 TSi manual may also develop the problem. If you are sensitive to the 'boom' then you may want to re-evaluate if an O3 is the best choice. For me all the other benefits outweigh the boom problem.

Not sure if this checker is correct, you can enter any VIN in it and you get an all clear e.g. try 'abcdefghi12345678'

To give you some frame of reference - I have a 63 plate 2.0 DSG Elegance (11K on the clock) and get ~42 mpg (I do mainly urban journeys and drive 'spiritedly'). The 2.0 is fairly quick, faster than my previous car (a 2.5T petrol V70) and on par with my C-class 220 CDI.

I asked a similar question and Xpower who had the bulbs out confirmed it is a D3S. They are 35W but cannot confirm the brand. The lights are not as good as my C-class or V50 (both with Xenons) but much better than any car I have owed with halogens.
