The FL vRS will now come with TWO brollies ☂️☂️

Cheers man!

Nice! I am either tempted by a secondhand merc E43 AMG with pano roof or wait for the vRS and spec pano roof on that. Having a day or so of sunshine can make you want a pano roof!

Hi folks A friend is about to purchase a 2021 octavia first edition which I understand comes with the swing headunit. Not to start AnOThEr thread about headunit woes, but I have two questions: Have folk who have had the swing headunit experienced the classic freezes/POP-POP/nonsense? A quick search of the mega-thread didn't suggest so, but I may have missed comments elsewhere What is the latest software version for swing? Ta very much

I also have had vRS for just shy of 3 years with DCC, no issue at all. You may have seen on the forum from other messages/comments about DCC, it's a defo good option (only option I opted for); and this is my third vRS in a row. On future cars I think I'd always seriously consider adding it/looking for cars that have it already. Great for kids who may get car sick as can set it to super-squishy mode.

Separate insurance products such as https://www.ala.co.uk/keycare is fairly cheap (I think I paid about £25 for 12 months cover), and you can get one of those Bluetooth keyfinder thingies that helps you locate your keys, in the event you have misplaced them. Very handy! PS: I think cover includes lost keys

I think there's a gremlin in the system somewhere, as I've had the same error message. Logging out (press the "leave" button in your image) and signing in again kicks it up the bum

I think mamba green is an awesome colour! My partner doesn't however

Do you feel mis sold on your mk4

No. A few electronic gremlins here and there (which will hopefully get sorted when in for service in a couple of weeks); had it almost a year -
Good choice with the DCC. I echo the views shared by others, I have a vRS with it and think it's ace. Local roads to me aren't too bad, but on longer family holiday drives (such as a 3 hour drive to Norfolk recently), comfort mode defo softened the ride. It may have even helped with car sickness with one of the kids, although I don't have anything to prove this and don't fancy experimenting too much with this theory!

Weird clicking/popping sound O4, vRS Estate Petrol DSG
Aarond replied to Tishout's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Ha, well it's almost exactly the same as your O3 -
I almost got the same as @Jmagee, but they were out of stock. I have https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RXQLV5C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_X9ZKKTDERFNXPYHHS221?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I don't think the parking mode on most dashcams would work, as I don't think the USB c constant live?

Yeah man, you have to be a bit forceful with the glove box to pop it open. Also don't forget to reconnect the slow release arm thingy on the right hand side when you're finished (you'll know what I mean when you see it). -
About to order a VRS which is the best engine?
Aarond replied to Dan Welburn's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
14 weeks sounds quite ambitious, based on other people's experiences; but maybe iV is being prioritised? 🤷♂️
