  1. 5E5945112 is right hand lights for a hatchback, but not LED 5E5945112A is the LED version. Edit: these are the parts for the pre-facelift version, if you have a facelift (split headlights) there are 2 LED versions, high or low (I don't know the part numebrs though).
  2. I Had a 63 plate Elegance spec MkIII, it had the 3-spoke wheel too.
  3. I've had the same issue with mine from leaving dashcam on for a week. Except I'd previously had drivers door damage (that's another story...), so the emergency key lock didn't work. RAC guy had to jack the car up and jump it via the starter motor, which gave just enough power to remote unlock the car. Useful fact to know that the starter motor is accessible from under the car, and has a permenant battery feed.
  4. Top picture is for 1 wheel, bottom one is for the set of 4.
  5. When I needed a repair on my Ocatavia, my insurer wanted to use their 'approved' repairer, which turned out to be a Vauxhall garage?! I told them I wanted to use a "Manufacturer approved repairer", which they grudgingly accepted, and sent it to a local Audi garage.
  6. Couple of useful links below: https://www.carcamcentral.com/guide/recommended-sd-cards-avoid-sandisk-ultra-cards https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/microsd-options-including-mlc-cards.26035/ Basically, it depends on what type of flash memory the card uses. MLC is a slightly older tech than TLC (which offers higher capacity), but MLC has much better endurance. In a dashcam the whole card is constantly being written and erased, so endurance is a major factor. Also useful in these links are details on which manufacturers will void the SD card warranty if it's used in a dashcam.
  7. What options did you want that it's not got? Depending on what they are, retrofitting or enabling via VCDS might be possible...
  8. Instead of tinting the reflectors yourself, just buy them already tinted? http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-RS-original-Skoda-rear-bumper-reflector-set-MONTE-CARLO-dark I got them for mine, and they do look much better.
  9. "Normal" Octavia MKIII mudflaps fit perfectly on the vRS, even though the dealers say they won't. I've got a vRS, and had a non vRS MKIII and the flaps fit exactly the same (and perfectly) to both. The only thing is that the vRS is slightly lower than the standard, so you need to be a bit more careful with about scraping the flaps on high kerbs. I've not had any issues so far though.
  10. The linked power curves on that page show the stock engine doing 260bhp!! Is that a one off anomoly of the engine they tested, or do most/all (my?) 230's put out that kind of power...
  11. You even got it in the right colour! Is that a lane assist or high beam assist camera I can see on the windscreen? If it's lane assist, get someone with VCDS to activate high beam assist if you don't have it. Traffic sign recogition is useful too.
  12. It is possible to input 7 digit postcodes on a 2016/2017 Octavia sat nav. Annoyingly you have to switch back to the letters keyboard to input the space the after the first part, then when you switch back to numerical input, it works!
  13. I stand corrected. I don't think their search function likes me :-(
